NOTE:

• If the unit is unplugged, loses power, or is turned off, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit. If you do not wait 3 to 5 minutes, the wine cooler will not start.
• When you use the wine cooler for the first time or restart the wine cooler after having been shut off for a long time, there could be a few degrees variance between the temperature you select and the one indicated on the LED readout. This is normal and it is due to the length of the activation time. Once the wine cooler is running for a few hours everything will be back to normal.

3. To lock the door, insert the key into the lock and turn it clockwise, making sure the metal pin is completely engaged.
4. Remove the key and place it in a secure place for safekeeping.

Defrost System
Refrigerator coils are kept below the freezing point (32 degrees Fahrenheit). During compressor down-time, the evaporator fan continues to circulate air through the evaporator coil. This air circulation raises the coil temperature above the freezing point, melting any accumulated frost. Run-off water is drained into the evaporator pan and evaporated.

Operation/Maintenance

NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be performed by an authorized service technician.
Loading Product

• Do not block the air duct/fan at the top of the unit. Maintain a minimum of 4″ of clearance between products and the fan at all times.

Cleaning the Condensor Coil

• For efficient operation, keep the condenser surface free of dust, dirt, and lint.
• We recommend cleaning the condenser coil at least once per month.
• Clean the condenser with a commercial condenser coil cleaner, available from any kitchen equipment retailer.

Layout and Storage

Your cabinet was designed to be flexible,to be able to adapt to your requirements.
Shelf

Your wine cooler was designed to store a maximum number of bottles in total security. We recommend that you observe the tips below to optimize loading.

• Spread your bottles out as evenly as possible over the shelves, so that weight is not concentrated in one point, also make sure your bottles do not touch the back of the cabinet or the step at the bottom.
• Also, make sure that bottles are not all grouped together at the top or bottom of the cabinet.
• Lay the bottles one row face forward and staggered another row face back could maximum increase the capacity. It would only affect when having larger bottles, like Pinot or Champagne.
• Never try to pull out more than one sliding shelf at a time.
