ELECTRICAL CONNECTION: SEE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFETY REGULATIONS FOR ELECTRIC OR GAS APPLIANCES AND FOR VENTILATION FUNCTIONS.

IN YOUR INTEREST AND TO ENSURE YOUR SAFETY, BY LAW ALL ELECTRIC APPLIANCES MUST ONLY BE INSTALLED AND SERVICED BY QUALIFIED STAFF, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RELEVANT REGULATIONS.

GAS OR ELECTRIC APPLIANCES MUST ALWAYS BE DISCONNECTED BY SUITABLY SKILLED PEOPLE.

THIS MANUAL CONSTITUTES AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE APPLIANCE: TAKE GOOD CARE OF IT AND KEEP IT TO HAND THROUGHOUT THE APPLIANCE'S LIFE CYCLE. WE URGE YOU TO READ

THIS MANUAL AND ALL THE INFORMATION IT CONTAINS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE. INSTALLATION MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY QUALIFIED STAFF IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE RELEVANT REGULATIONS. THIS APPLIANCE IS INTENDED FOR HOUSEHOLD USE AND COMPLIES WITH THE EEC DIRECTIVES CURRENTLY IN FORCE. THE APPLIANCE IS BUILT TO PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING FUNCTION: COOLING OF DRINKS; ALL OTHER USES ARE TO BE CONSIDERED IMPROPER.

THE MANUFACTURER DECLINES ALL LIABILITY FOR USES OTHER THAN THOSE STATED ABOVE.

NEVER USE THIS APPLIANCE FOR COOLING ROOMS.

THIS APPLIANCE IS TAGGED UNDER EUROPEAN DIRECTIVE 2002/96/EC ON WASTE ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT (WEEE).

THIS DIRECTIVE CONTAINS THE REGULATIONS GOVERNING THE COLLECTION AND RECYCLING OF DECOMMISSIONED APPLIANCES THROUGHOUT THE EUROPEAN UNION.

NEVER OBSTRUCT THE OPENINGS AND SLITS PROVIDED FOR VENTILATION AND HEAT DISPERSAL.

SETTING THE THERMOSTATS TOO LOW IN SUMMER CAUSES CONSIDERABLY INCREASED ICE FORMATION ON THE BACK OF THE APPLIANCE, SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCING ITS EFFICIENCY. DURING THE SUMMER OR WHENEVER THE WEATHER IS PARTICULARLY HOT AND/OR HUMID, THE WINE CELLAR SHOULD BE KEPT AT A FAIRLY HIGH SETTING TO PREVENT ICE FROM BUILDING UP IN THE BACK OF THE INTERIOR, CAUSING LOSS OF EFFICIENCY.

DURING OPERATION, THE APPLIANCE'S REAR SURFACE MAY HEAT UP CONSIDERABLY; THIS IS QUITE NORMAL AND DOES NOT INDICATE A MALFUNCTION.

THE NAMEPLATE WITH THE TECHNICAL DATA, SERIAL NUMBER AND MARKING ARE IN THE BOTTOM LEFT-HAND CORNER OF THE WINE CELLAR'S INTERIOR.

THE NAMEPLATE MUST NEVER BE REMOVED.

IT IS BEST TO OPEN THE DOOR AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE, PARTICULARLY IN HOT WEATHER. OPENING THE DOOR OFTEN OR LEAVING IT OPEN WILL CAUSE VARIATIONS IN TEMPERATURE INSIDE THE APPLIANCE WHICH MIGHT LEAD DETERIORATION OF THE WINE'S CONDITION.

The manufacturer declines all responsibility for injury or damage caused by failure to comply with the above regulations or deriving from tampering with even just one part of the appliance and the use of non-original spare parts.
