Safety Tips
Before using this appliance, it must be properly positioned and installed as described in this manual, so please read
carefully. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or injury when using the appliance, follow these basic precautions.
•
Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong
from the power cord supplied, do not use an adapter, and do not use an extension cord.
•
It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your appliance be used. Do not use outlets that can be
turned off by a switch or pull chain.
•
Never clean appliance parts with flammable fluids and do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors
and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
•
Unplug the appliance or disconnect power before cleaning or servicing. Failure to do so can result in electrical
shock or death.
•
Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your appliance unless it is specifically recommended in this
manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
•
Use two or more people to move and install appliance. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
•
To ensure proper ventilation for your appliance, the front of the unit must be completely unobstructed. Choose
a well-ventilated area with temperatures above 60°F (16°C) and below 90°F (32°C). This unit must be installed in
an area protected from the element, such as wind, rain, water spray or drips.
•
The appliance should not be located next to ovens, grills or other high heat sources or in areas of extreme cold.
•
The appliance must be installed in accordance with state and local codes. A standard electrical supply (115 V AC
only, 60 Hz), properly grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local ordinances is required.
•
Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord of appliance.
•
The fuse (or circuit breaker) size should be 15 amperes.
•
It is important for the appliance to be leveled in order to work properly. You may need to make several
adjustments to level it.
•
Never allow children to operate, play with or crawl inside the appliance. Child entrapment and suffocation are
not just problems of the past, junked or abandoned appliances are still dangerous. When no longer using your
old wine cellar, take off the door and leave the shelves in place so that children may not climb inside easily.
•
Do not use solvent-based cleansers or abrasives on the interior as they may damage or discolor the interior.
•
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, it is strongly recommended that you do not use an
extension cord with this appliance. However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it
be a UL/CUL-Listed, 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and
that the electrical rating of the cord be 115 volts and at least 10 amperes.
•
If the appliance is going to be used in an area that is prone to power surges/outages, it is suggested that you use
a power surge protector. The surge protector that you select must have a surge block high enough to protect
the appliance it is connected to. Damages due to power surges are not considered a manufacturer covered
defect and will void your product warranty.
•
The cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling to prevent accidental injury.
Never unplug the appliance by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the
receptacle. Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do
not use a cord with cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end. When moving the appliance, be
careful not to damage the power cord.
•
Do not use this apparatus for other than its intended purpose.
