Child Safety
Destroy carton, plastic bags, and any exterior
•
wrapping material immediately after the wine
cooler is unpacked. Children should never use
these items to play. Cartons covered with rugs,
bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch wrap may
become airtight chambers, and can quickly cause
suffocation.
Remove all staples from the carton. Staples can
•
cause severe cuts, and destroy finishes if they
come in contact with other appliances or furniture.
An empty, discarded appliance is a very dangerous
•
attraction to children.
Remove the door(s) of any appliance that is not in
•
use, even if it is being discarded.

Electrical Information
•
The beverage cooler must be plugged into
its own dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., 15
Amp, AC only electrical outlet.
The power
cord of the appliance is equipped with a three-
prong grounding plug for your protection against
electrical shock hazards. It must be plugged
directly into a properly grounded three prong
receptacle. The receptacle must be installed in
accordance with local codes and ordinances.
Consult a qualified electrician.
Avoid connecting
refrigerator to a Ground Fault Interruptor (GFI)
circuit.
Do not use an extension cord or
adapter plug.
If the power cord is damaged, it should be
•
replaced by an authorized service technician to
prevent any risk.
Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the
•
power cord. Always grip the plug firmly, and
pull straight out from the receptacle to prevent
damaging the power cord.
Unplug the appliance before cleaning and before
•
replacing a light bulb to avoid electrical shock.
Performance may be affected if the voltage
•
varies by 10% or more. Operating the unit with
insufficient power can damage the compressor.
Such damage is not covered under your warranty.
Do not plug the appliance into an electrical outlet
•
controlled by a wall switch or pull cord to prevent
the appliance from being turned off accidentally.

Proper Disposal of your Beverage Cooler
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems
of the past. Junked or abandoned appliances are still
dangerous – even if they will sit for “just a few days”. If
you are getting rid of your old appliance, please follow
the instructions below to help prevent accidents.
We strongly encourage responsible appliance recycling/
disposal methods. Check with your utility company or
visit www.recyclemyoldfridge.com for more information
on recycling your old appliance.
Before you throw away your old beverage
cooler:
Remove doors.
•
Leave shelves in place so children may not easily
•
climb inside.
Have refrigerant removed by a qualified service
•
technician.
