Installing Your Appliance - THOMSON WKT173BD - Manual

Installing your appliance

Your appliance must be instal-
led in compliance with the
instructions given in this "Guide
for Installation and Use" in order
GB
to keep your wine in optimum
conditions and with optimal energy
consumption.
- The appliance should be installed in
a room that is both dry and aired.
- Avoid balconies, verandas, and
patios: the excessive heat in summer
and the cold in winter could prevent
your appliance from functioning pro-
perly, or even damage it.
- Avoid placing your appliance near a
heat source such as an oven or
radiator.
- Your appliance has been designed
for optimum functioning at a certain
ambient temperature; it is designed
for a particular "climate class". This
climate class is clearly indicated on
the identification plate
situated on the inside of your applian-
ce, low down on the left wall. Outside
of this temperature range, the perfor-
mance of your appliance may be
diminished.
Climate class
SN/ST
- Leave a minimum distance of 3 to
5 cm at the sides between your wine
cellar and your furniture, and 10 cm
above, to maximise air circulation
around the appliance.
Position the appliance at a suitable
distance from the wall by using the
spacers provided in the accessories
packet. You should mount the
28
Ambient temperature
+10°C to + 38°C
spacers on the back of the appliance.
Once your appliance is installed,
adjust its feet so that it is slightly
leaning forwards, or slightly leaning
backwards:
This will facilitate the efficiency of
door closing.
Before putting any bottles in,
clean the inside and the outside of
your appliance with a bicarbonate
of soda solution (1 dessertspoon
of bicarbonate to 4 litres of water).
Do not use alcohol, scouring pow-
der or detergents, which could
damage the surfaces. See section
on "Cleaning your Appliance".
