ACCESSORY INSTALLATION BEFORE OPERATING

UNPACKING AND CLEANING THE WINE COOLER

• Remove the exterior and interior packing materials.
• Let the appliance stand upright for approximately 24 hours before connecting it to the power source, which helps to reduce the possibility of a cooling-system malfunction from handling during transportation.
• Use a soft cloth to clean the interior surface with lukewarm water

A decorative plinth can be fitted to the front of the base vent, a cut-out should be made in the plinth with bigger size than the front louver. The cut out is required whether the front louver is removed or not.

Adjusting the height and levelling off your wine cabinet

• The appliance is equipped with adjustable feet, so that the height may be adjusted to level the cabinet on uneven floor surfaces.

• We recommend that two people carry out this procedure.

• The height must be adjusted prior to building the appliance into the housing unit and it should be set at such a height that the top panel of the appliance fits exactly below the kitchen worktop.

• Tilt the appliance approximately 60° to allow access to the adjustable feet.

• Take care to ensure the cabinet is supported at all times.

• Twist the foot into a suitable position to level the cabinet.

• Repeat these steps for the other adjustable feet.

IMPORTANT: If the appliance is not level, then the door and door seal may be affected.

IMPORTANT: Do not move the appliance when the feet are adjusted high.

OPERATING THE WINE COOLER

WORKING CLIMATE

The appliance is designed for operating from SN to N climate (see below climate class chart). It is recommended to maintain the ambient around 22-25°C which helps the appliance working with low power consumption.

If the ambient temperature is above or below the designed climate range, the performance of the unit may be affected. For example, the appliance operating in extreme cold or hot conditions may cause interior temperatures to fluctuate, and the temperature set 5-20°C may not be reached sometimes.

WINE STORAGE

• The standard shelves are designed perfectly for Bordeaux bottle storage. The maximum loaded bottles may vary subject to the different size or dimension wine bottles you store.
• To prevent damaging the door gasket, make sure to have the door opened fully all the way before pulling the shelves out.
• Please store wine in sealed bottles.
• Do not cover the shelves with aluminum foil or any other shelf material which may prevent air circulation.
• Should the wine cooler be left empty for long periods it is suggested that the appliance is unplugged, and after careful cleaning, leave the door ajar to allow air to circulate inside the cabinet in order to avoid possible condensation, mold or odours forming.
• If the wine cooler is left empty for long periods, switch off, defrost, clean, dry, and leave the door open to prevent mould developing within the appliance.
• Pay attention to the recommended/preferable storage time of the wines you bought
• Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature in the compartments of the appliance. The recommended temperatures for chilling， storing your wines is as below, please choose zones and temperatures accordingly..
• Recommended temperatures for chilling/storing your wines.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

CLEANING THE WINE COOLER

• Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all items including shelves.
• Wipe the inside surfaces with a sponge and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to 1 quart (approx. 1 litre) of warm water.
• Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution. Allow wooden shelves to dry before placing back into the wine cooler.
• Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning area of the controls, or any electrical parts.
• Wipe the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
• Do not use steel wool or steel brush on the stainless steel. These will scratch the stainless steel with steel particles and rusting may occur

Carbon Filter Change

A good ambient air quality is important for wine maturing. The Carbon Filter is very helpful to absorb odor and improve air quality. For the models with Carbon Filter, we suggest to replace it once a year. Pls. contact your dealer to get the filter.

Removing the Carbon Filter:
o Hold the Carbon Filter and turn it 90° to the left or right to Remove it;

Reinstalling the Carbon Filter:
o Hold the Carbon Filter and turn it 90° to the left or right until it clicks into place.

Defrosting

• Defrosting occurs automatically inside of the Wine Cooler during operation. The defrost water is collected by the evaporating tray and evaporates automatically.
• The evaporating tray and defrost water drain hole should be cleaned periodically. This will prevent water from collecting in the bottom of the Wine Cooler, instead of flowing down the defrost drainage channel and drain hole.
• You can also pour a small amount of water down the drain hole to clean inside of it.
• You should be careful to make sure that wine bottles do not touch the rear wall of the appliance, as this can interrupt the automatic defrosting process and deflect water into the base of your Wine Cooler.

Moving Your Wine Cooler

If you need to move your Wine Cooler to another location you should follow the steps outlined below.

• Remove all items from the Wine Cooler.
• Securely tape down all loose items such as the shelves inside of the appliance.
• Turn the adjustable foot up to the base to avoid damage.
• Tape the door closed.
• Ensure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation. Also protect the outside of the appliance with a blanket or similar item.

Power Failure

• If power is cut to the appliance, for a few hours it will be able to maintain the temperature inside the cabinet. Providing that the number of times that the door is opened is kept to a minimum.
• If the power cut is for longer than a few hours, then you will need to store the contents in an alternate location to prevent them being affected by temperature rise.

IMPORTANT: If the appliance is unplugged, the power is lost or turned off you must wait 5 minutes before restarting the Wine Cooler. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the compressor could be damaged.

Vacation Time

Short vacations : Leave the Wine Cooler in operation for holidays of less than 3 weeks.

Long vacations:

• If your appliance is not going to be in use for a period of time, you should remove the bottles of wine and switch off the appliance
• The interior should be cleaned with a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water.
• The interior should then be thoroughly dried.
• To prevent mould growth, the door should be left slightly ajar.

Disconnecting From Power

If the unit is unplugged, or there is a power cut, you must wait for 5 minutes before restarting. Attempting to restart the Wine Cooler before 5 minutes has elapsed, may cause it not to function.
