INSTALLATION

BEFORE USING YOUR WINE CABINET

• Remove the exterior and interior packing.

IMPORTANT
Before connecting the wine cabinet to the power source, let it stand upright for at least 12 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.

• Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
• Make sure to turn the unit off and unplug it from the outlet.

NOTE
To protect the appliance in transit and delivery the door is packed tightly against the cabinet. When first installed this can mean the door seal appears thinner on one side of the door due to compression, this is normal and once out of the box it will relax over a short period of time and the door will return to the normal position. If you wish to speed up the process you can gently warm the seal with a hair dryer on a low temperature setting. This can help relax the seal helping it return to normal thickness a little faster.
INSTALLATION OF YOUR WINE CABINET

• Place your wine cabinet on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded.
• To level your wine cabinet, adjust the front levelling leg at the bottom of the cabinet.
• Ensure it is perfectly level, as this will minimise any vibrations.
• This appliance uses flammable refrigerant. Never damage the cooling pipework during transportation.
• Locate the wine cooler away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (ovens, hobs, heaters, radiators, etc.). Never clean appliance parts with flammable fluids. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion. When disposing your appliance, please choose an authorised disposal site.
• Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.
• It is fitted with a power cord having an earth wire terminating in a 13amp plug.
• Ensure the product is correctly ventilated.
• Consult a qualified electrician or service engineer if the earthing instructions are not completely understood.
• Plug the wine cabinet into an exclusive, properly installed-grounded wall outlet. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) pin from the plug. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or Caple service.

WARNING
Incorrect earthing can result in the risk of electric shock.

OPERATING YOUR WINE CABINET

Please use the cabinet within ambient temperatures between 16-32ºC, if the ambient temperature is higher or lower than this, it will cause the temperature to fluctuate in the cabinet, possibly preventing it from reaching 5-18ºC.
SETTING THE TEMPERATURE

• Set the desired cooling temperature by pressing the up and down keys. Each press of the keys will scroll through the available temperature settings in increments of 1°C.
• The temperature setting can be adjusted from 5°C to 18°C
• To view the actual temperature at anytime press and hold either up or down for approximately 5 seconds, the actual temperature will temporarily flash in the LED display for 5 seconds. After this it will revert back to the set temperature.
• Flashing LED = Cabinet temperature
• Steady LED = Set temperature

NOTE

• If the unit is unplugged, power lost or turned off, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the wine cabinet will
  not start.

• When you use the wine cabinet for the first time or you restart the cabinet 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 cabinet has been running for a few hours everything will be back to normal.

POWER FAILURE
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your appliance if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to be off for a longer period of time, you need to take the proper steps to protect your contents.
HOLIDAY
SHORT HOLIDAYS: Leave the wine cabinet operating during holidays of less than three weeks.
LONG HOLIDAYS: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all items and turn off the appliance. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odour and mould growth, leave the door open slightly (blocking it open if necessary).

MOVING YOUR WINE CABINET

• Remove all items.
• Securely tape down all loose items (shelves) inside your appliance.
• Turn the adjustable leg up to the base to avoid damage.
• Tape the door shut.
• Be sure the appliance stays secure in an upright position during transportation. Also protect outside of the appliance with a blanket, or similar item.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS
The wine cabinet should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances, and out of the direct sunlight.
CLOSING THE DOOR
Close the door with care as slamming the door puts excess stress on the appliance and can cause the door to bounce open slightly. If this is not noticed, it can cause excess moisture to build up in the cabinet which in extreme cases can lead to the evaporation tray overflowing.
