Instructions for the Installer

4. INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION

Always place the wine cellar in a dry place with satisfactory ventilation. Never expose it to direct sunlight

or install it outdoors. Depending on its climate class (stated on the nameplate inside), the wine cellar can

be used in different temperature conditions:

Class Ambient temperature

SN (Subnormal) from +10° C to +32° C

N (Normal) from +16° C to +32° C

ST (Subtropical) from + 18° C to +38° C

T (Tropical) from + 18° C to + 43° C

Never place the wine cellar close to heat sources unless strictly necessary. If this is unavoidable, a

suitable insulating panel must be used to allow the appliance to function properly. Otherwise, place the

appliance at least 3 cm from electric or gas cookers and at least 30 cm from combustion or radiation

heating systems.

To allow proper cooling of the condenser, the wine cellar must not be placed too close to the wall. Leave

a gap of at least 5 cm between the back of the appliance and the wall. There must be an opening of at

least 200 cm

behind the wine cellar. If the wine cellar is installed underneath a wall cupboard, the

distance between the two must be at least 5 cm.

Take care not to scratch or damage the floor when installing the appliance on parquet or linoleum.

4.1 Positioning and levelling the appliance

Place the wine cellar on a firm, level surface. To compensate for any unevenness in the floor, the

appliance has 4 adjustable feet. To adjust them, turn the screw as shown in figure 1 to level the

appliance.

4.2 Electrical connection

Before switching the wine cellar on for the first time, leave it standing upright for about two hours. Then

connect the appliance's power supply lead to a mains socket with earth contact, installed in accordance

with electrical safety regulations. The rated voltage and frequency are stated on the nameplate inside

the wine cellar. The appliance must be connected to the electrical mains and earthed in compliance with

the relevant regulations and requirements. The appliance is able to withstand brief voltage fluctuations of

not more than 15% below or 10% above the rated value. If the power supply lead has to be replaced, this

operation must only be carried out by an authorised Smeg technical service engineer.
