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.
WARNING
To ensure your safety and the longevity of your appliance, it is important to adhere to these guidelines:
•
Plug your appliance into a grounded outlet. Don't remove the third ground prong from the power cord, utilize an
adapter, or use an extension cord.
•
Consider using a separate circuit that only powers your appliance. Avoid outlets that are controlled by a switch or
pull chain.
•
Avoid using flammable fluids to clean your appliance parts. Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
materials near any appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
•
Before cleaning or servicing your appliance, disconnect the power or unplug it. Failure to do so can result in
electrical shock or death.
•
It is not recommended to repair or replace any part of your appliance unless it is specifically recommended in the
manual. Seek out the assistance of a qualified technician for any other servicing needs.
•
To avoid back or other injuries, it is essential to have at least two people move and install the appliance.
•
Proper ventilation is crucial for your appliance's performance. Ensure that the front of the unit is entirely
unobstructed, and select a well-ventilated area with temperatures between 60°F (16°C) and 90°F (32°C).
•
Install the appliance in an area that offers protection against the elements, such as wind, rain, water spray, or
drips.
•
The appliance should not be placed near high heat sources like ovens, grills, or areas of extreme cold.
State and local codes must be followed when installing the appliance. A properly grounded electrical supply (120VAC
only, 60 Hz) in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local ordinances is required for installation.
•
Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord.
•
The size of the fuse (or circuit breaker) should be 15 amperes.
The appliance must be leveled properly to function correctly. You may need to adjust it several times to achieve the
correct level.
Children should never be allowed to operate, play with or crawl inside the appliance. To prevent child entrapment and
suffocation, old wine cellars should have their doors removed and the shelves left in place. Do not use solvent-based
cleansers or abrasives on the interior of the appliance as they may damage or discolor it.
To avoid potential safety hazards, it is strongly recommended that you do not use an extension cord with this
appliance.
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 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.
