Electrical connection

Wiring and connections in power supply systems must meet all applicable (local and national) electrical codes. Consult these codes prior to cabinet installation.

Connect the appliance only to 220/240 V / 50Hz alternating current via a correctly installed earthed socket.

The socket should be freely accessible.

Information regarding voltage, current or power are given on the rating plate

The power cord may be replaced by a technician only.

CAUTION : Never put the appliance in a location that is too cold or unprotected, for example in a garage or on a verandah.

The rating plate provides various technical information as well as type and serial number.

Installation and start-up

Placement

For safety and operational reasons, the appliance must not be installed outdoors.

The appliance should be placed on a level surface in a dry, well ventilated room (max. 75% relative air humidity). Never place the appliance close to sources of heat such as cookers or radiators, and avoid placing it in direct sunlight.

Climate class is stated on the name plate. This specifies the optimum ambient temperature.

Installation

The surface on which the appliance is to be placed must be level. Do not use a frame or similar.

The appliance can be installed as a freestanding unit against a wall, built into a closet or lined up with other appliances.

It is important that the appliance be well ventilated and that air can circulate unhindered above, below and around it.

The figures below illustrate how the necessary air circulation around the appliance can be ensured (fig 4).

Ensure the socket is accessible when the appliance is in position, or a switch is incorporated in the fixed wiring according to the wiring rules. (See a licensed electrician for further advice).

Anti-tip

It is recommended to install the supplied anti-tip device to avoid the unit from tipping over. The appliance must be securely attached to the wall by the anti-tip bracket device. The hardware used to secure your appliance to the wall depends on your wall material and will need to be sourced separately to suit the specific installation. Use gloves during installation. If there is not enough space (min 60 mm) over the appliance turn the bracket upside down.

Setting up

It is important that the appliance be absolutely level. It can be levelled by screwing the adjustable feet at the front of the appliance up or down (fig. 6). Use a spirit level to check that the appliance is absolutely level sideways.

Shelves and loading

Fixed shelf – VWM306SBA
Max. 80 kg.

Fixed shelf – VWM306PBA
Max. 65 kg.

Telescopic shelf – VWM306PBA
Max. 15 kg.

To optimise the storage capacity of your wine cabinet it has been designed so that only Bordeaux style bottles can be stored on the outer position of the shelf.

The top fixed shelf in the VWM306PBA cabinet is designed for 2 or 3 rows of 10 bottles (20 or 30 bottles). However 3 rows will result in approximately 3 mm deflection which is normal and will not damage the shelf.

Operation and function

Defrosting, cleaning and maintenance

Automatic defrosting

The wine cabinet is defrosted automatically. Defrost water runs through a pipe and is collected in a tray above the compressor where the heat generated by the compressor causes it to evaporate. The defrost water tray should be cleaned at intervals.

Cleaning

Before cleaning the appliance, unplug it from the main supply. The cabinet is best cleaned using warm water (max.65°C) with a little mild detergent. Never use cleaning agents that scour. Use a soft cloth. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly. The defrost water channel, in which condensation from the evaporator runs, is located at the bottom of the rear inside wall of the cabinet and must be kept clean. Add a few drops of disinfectant, to the defrost water drain a couple of times a year, and clean the drain using a pipe cleaner or similar. Never use sharp or pointed implements.

The sealing strip around the door must be cleaned regularly to prevent discolouration and prolong service life. Use clean water. After cleaning the sealing strip, check that it continues to provide a tight seal.

Dust collecting on the condenser on the rear of the cabinet, the compressor and in the compressor compartment is best removed using a vacuum cleaner.

Spare parts

When ordering spare parts, please state the type, serial and product numbers of your appliance. This information is given on the rating plate. The rating plate contains various technical information, including type and serial number.
