PRECAUTIONS
This is electrical equipment intended only for indoor use in dry locations.
A polarized 3-blade grounding power cord is supplied.
The power cord must be plugged into an appropriately grounded outlet.
Extension cords may be used so long as their current rating is sufficient for this device and ground
continuity is maintained.
Do not place this equipment near sinks, saunas, or pools where there may be a risk of it falling into
water.
The refrigeration condenser is cooled by a fan which requires unobstructed flow. Please respect
installation requirements to assure proper ventilation.
Over time, it is possible that the fin coil condenser may become obstructed by an accumulation of
dust and airborne debris. This will decrease system performance and may result in premature failure of
the compressor. Annual inspection and cleaning of the condenser are recommended.
The bottle connections in this equipment seal by manually-controlled expansion of a rubber bushing
within the bottle neck. They are designed to work with conventional cork-sealed bottles, which are
designed to withstand cork-insertion forces. Screw top closures (e.g. Stelvin) are characteristically used
on bottles made of thinner glass and of varying inside diameters. Most screw top bottles should
successfully seal when placed into this system, but exercise great care to guard against over
tightening the seal and possible risk of breaking the bottle’s neck!
This equipment may be operated without an electrical connection to provide non-refrigerated wine
preservation and dispensing service at room temperature. In this instance, the glass door must be
removed and stored safely to avoid mold and mildew growth within the cabinet.
This equipment may be operated with thermostat settings elevated above ambient temperatures to
prevent operation of the refrigeration. In this instance, the glass door must be removed and stored
safely to avoid mold and mildew growth within the cabinet as well as to avoid interior warming by the
lighting.
Any servicing of this equipment necessitating removal of the lower front and back access panels must
be performed with the power cord unplugged by persons familiar with ordinary precautions that must
be exercised when working with open electrical and refrigeration devices.
This equipment requires a compressed, inert gas supply that is to be procured independently of the
sale of this equipment. High pressure gas cylinders require informed, attentive handling. Please have
your supplier provide appropriate instruction. Please place the cylinder away from children’s access.
The gas circuit in this equipment is designed to operate at pressures below 10PSIG (pounds), typically
operating in a 4PSIG range. By virtue of its low-pressure Manual Taps, the fully ‘open’ gas distribution
system is inherently safe against possible violent internal component rupture or wine bottle breakage
as a result of over-pressurization.
When OFF, the Master Gas Valve isolates the internal gas distribution circuit from the gas supply as well
as from over-pressure protection of the Manual Taps. Gas regulators, therefore, must assure no more
than 10PSIG is supplied to the equipment.
