TEMPERATURE ALARM

An audible alarm will sound if the temperature in one of the zones rises or falls outside the temperature range. The relevant temperature display will flash at the same time.

The temperature the appliance is set at determines the temperature the appliance recognizes as being too warm or too cool.

The audible alarm will sound and the temperature display will flash:
– When you switch the appliance on, if the temperature inside the appliance is very different from the temperature set.
– When there has been a lengthy interruption to the power supply.
– When too many items have been put into the unit at one time. Or too much ambient air flowed in when rearranging and removing storage items.
– When the door is not been closed tightly.
– The appliance is faulty.

The audible alarm will be automatically silenced, the temperature display stops flashing when the set temperature is reached again. However, if the noise disturbs you, you can switch the audible alarm off before this if you wish by touching any key once. The alarm will stop. The relevant temperature display continues to flash until the set temperature has been reached. The display then lights up constantly and the alarm system is fully active again.

DOOR ALARM

If the door has been left open for more than 60 seconds, the audible alarm will sound. Closing the door or touching any key once can switch off the audible alarm.

INTERIOR LIGHT

The interior lighting makes it easy to view your wine labels and enhances the display of your collection. Touching and holding the LIGHT key for 5 seconds toggles between 2 modes of operation for the interior lights: functional (default) mode and showcase mode. If you are in functional (default) mode, the lights will turn on only when the door is open. The interior light will go out approx. 5 seconds after the door is closed. If you are in showcase mode, the lights will be on whether or not the door is open and the light indicator will light up.

The unit is equipped with the LED type lights and they are designed for extremely long life. Thanks to the LED lighting, the wine will not be adversely affected by heat or UV light. But they are not user serviceable. To change them pls contact the service department.

NOTE: Please use only the original LED light fittings provided by the manufacturer.

BEVERAGE MODE

The temperature range in beverage mode is between 2ºC to 6ºC (36ºF and 43ºF). Beverage mode is only possible in the upper temperature zone.

To initiate the beverage mode, touch and hold the DOWN key ( DOWN key of lower/right temperature zone for LED display units) for 5 seconds. Beverage mode can be canceled by repeating the above process.

DYNACLIMA / SILENT MODES

The appliance has two different running modes:
DynaClima and Silent modes.

The DYNACLIMA (Dynamic Climate) mode enables the relative humidity inside the unit and the temperature to be distributed evenly around the interior so you can store all your wine under exactly the same excellent conditions. If you would like to use the unit to store wine long term, the DYNACLIMA mode is a must. This will create a continuous climate in the cabinet which imitates that of a wine cellar.

In the DYNACLIMA mode, the interior fan circulates the inside air evenly even when the set temperature is reached. Using the DYNACLIMA mode increases the level of noise in operation. In the SILENT mode (Also known as energy saving mode), the appliance will run without the fan once the set temperature is reached.

SABBATH MODE

Sabbath mode is available for the observance of certain religious holidays. This mode turns off the displays, interior light, sensor tones and audible alarms and prevents them from turning on again. Normal cooling operations will still take place.

To initiate Sabbath mode, touch the POWER and LIGHT keys simultaneously for at least 5 seconds. The displays and interior lights will go out to confirm the Sabbath mode is ON.

Sabbath mode can be canceled by repeating the above process. The Sabbath Mode will automatically turn off after 96 hours.

ECO DEMO MODE

Eco Demo mode can be activated by presenting the appliance at exhibitions or in salesrooms. In Eco Demo mode, the compressor and all fan motors are switched OFF. Also it is perfect as a cleaning mode. The refrigeration switches off while the lights stay on.

By touching and holding the “ UP “&” DOWN ” (The controls of upper zone for dual zone units) and “ LIGHT ” keys simultaneously for at least 5 seconds, the light indicator will flash to confirm the input and the unit will operate in Eco Demo mode. Eco Demo mode can be canceled by repeating the above process.

BOTTLE RACKS AND STORAGE

WARNING: Do not pull out more than one loaded shelf at a time as this may cause the unit to tilt forward.

WARNING: Do not pull out the shelf where the stacked bottles are loaded.

WARNING: To prevent the bottles from falling, do not try to slide the shelves outward beyond the fixed position.

WARNING: To prevent damaging the door gasket, make sure the door is fully open when pulling shelves out of the compartment.

IMPORTANT: Do not cover any part of the shelves with aluminum foil or any other material that will prevent adequate air circulation within the cabinet.

All the wine racks slide out for easy access, except for the bottom fixed shelf. For easy access to the bottles stored, pull the rack out gently until it stops. The shelves are designed with an emergency stop to prevent them being moved too far when loaded.

Many bottles may differ in size and dimensions. As such the actual number of bottles you may be able to store may vary.

Bottle capacities are approximate maximums when storing traditional Bordeaux 750ml bottles and including bulk storage.

You may load your wine bottles in single rows or by stacking while taking note of the following – if you do not have enough bottles to fill your wine cellar, it is better to distribute the load throughout the wine cellar so as to avoid “all on top” or “all below” type loads.
– Do remove or relocate adjustable wooden racks to accommodate larger types of bottles or increase the capacity of the cellar by stacking the bottles up when necessary. (See Removing Shelves)
– Keep small gaps between the walls and the bottles to allow air circulation. Like an underground cellar, air circulation is important to prevent mold and promote a better homogeneous temperature.
– To facilitate air circulation, do not overload your wine cellar.
– Lay the bottles flat so that the corks can be kept moist on the inside and air is prevented from getting into the bottles.
– Avoid obstructing the internal fans (located inside on the back panel of the unit).
– Do not cross contaminate. Store only wine in your unit to ensure that the environment is odor free.
– Only store wine in unopened bottles. Storing opened bottles may result in spillage.

OPERATING NOISES

The unit is cooled by a compressor (refrigeration aggregate). The compressor pumps coolant through the cooling system, producing operating noise. Even when the compressor cuts out, noises caused by changes in temperature and pressure are unavoidable. Operating noise will be most audible immediately after the compressor cuts in. It becomes quieter as the operating period continues.

The following noises are normal and occur from time to time:
– Gurgling sound, caused by the refrigerant flowing through the appliance’s coils,
– Humming noise made by the motor compressor. This noise can get louder for brief periods when the motor is switching on.
– Crackling/popping sounds, resulting from the materials contraction and expansion due to temperature variations,
– Fan operating sound, to circulate the air within the wine cabinet.

Unusual noise is normally the result of improper installation. Under no circumstances must tubing come into contact with a wall, other furniture or with other tubing.

Where the unit is installed in an open-plan kitchen or in partition walls, the level of operating noise will be heard more acutely. However, this is due to the surrounding architecture and not to the unit.

An individual’s perception of noise is directly linked to the environment in which the unit is located, as well as the specific type of model. Our appliances are in line with international standards for such appliances and in line with the latest technical developments. But please remember that the noise of the compressor and the coolant circulating in the system is unavoidable.

DEFROSTING / HYGROMETRY / VENTILATION

Your unit is designed with an automatic defrost system. During the “Off-cycle” the evaporator behind the rear wall of the unit defrosts automatically. The condensate collects in the drain trough behind the rear wall of the unit, and part of it flows through the drainage hole into the drip tray by/above the compressor. The heat is transferred from the discharge pipe or compressor and evaporates any condensation that has collected in the tray. Part of the remaining water is collected within the unit for humidity purposes.

This system enables the creation of the correct humidity level inside your unit required by the natural cork to maintain a long lasting seal and gives the cabinet natural ventilation and constant air circulation.

The appliance is not totally sealed: fresh air admission is permitted through the drainpipe and/or air exchange pipe. Air is circulated through the unit by means of a fan / fans and the open shelves.

NOTE: Frost may be accumulated on the evaporator if the unit is repeatedly opened in a high heat or high humidity location. If this frost pattern does not clear within 24 hours, your unit will require manual defrosting.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT TEMPERATURE

Your unit has been designed to guarantee optimum conditions for storing and/or serving your wines.

Fine wines require long and gentle developments and need specific conditions in which to reach their full potential.

All wines mature at the same temperature, which is a constant temperature set between 11ºC to 14ºC. Only the temperature of “dégustation” (wine appreciation) varies according to the type of wines (see the Wine Serving Temperature Chart as above). This being said and as it is for natural cellars used by wine producers for long period of storage, it is not the exact temperature that is important, but its consistency. In other words, as long as the temperature of your wine cellar is constant (between 11ºC to 14ºC, or 52°F to 57°F) your wines will be stored under perfect conditions.

Not all wines will improve over the years. Some should be consumed at an early stage (2 to 3 years) while others have tremendous ageing capability (50 years and over). All wines have a peak in maturity. Check with your wine merchant to get the relevant information.

At too high a temperature (over 20°C) wine matures too quickly, which prevents the aromas from developing further. Wine cannot mature fully at too low a temperature (below 5°C).

Fluctuations in temperature put wine under stress and interrupt the maturing process. It is therefore very important to maintain a constant temperature.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Failure to unplug the appliance during service and cleaning could result in electrical shock or other personal injury.

REMOVING SHELVES

To remove a shelf, extend the shelf out of the rail compartment until it stops and remove all bottles from the shelf. Press the right slide release lever down and at the same time lift the corresponding left slide lever up and pull the shelf out until it is free of tracks and the cabinet.
In order to replace the shelf, align the left and right slide channels with the tracks in the cabinet. Ensuring an even track engagement on both sides, gently push the shelf into the cabinet until the tabs lock into place.

NOTE: Make sure the tabs on the full extension shelf guides are fully engaged before loading any bottles. Pull the shelf out all the way to the STOP position and push back in several times to make sure locking tabs are properly engaged.

HUMIDITY CONTROL

The appliance is equipped with a system for maintaining the correct level of humidity. Under extremely dry environmental conditions, you may have to add some water into the humidity box provided with your wine cellar.

Fill the small plastic reservoir (humidity box) ¾ full with water, and fit onto the runners found on the shelf of the appliance. Check the water level regularly and refill as necessary.

Please ensure the reservoir is positioned correctly on the runners on the shelf to avoid the possibility of water spillage.

Too high humidity level inside the cabinet will not spoil the stored wines but mildew and mould may appear and labels may get unstuck.

ACTIVE CHARCOAL AIR FILTER

The active charcoal air filter (if your model supplied with it) is located in the back of compartment. The active charcoal filter achieves optimum air quality by filtering the incoming air and absorbing the unwanted odours. Replace it with a new one once a year. It can be purchased from your dealer or from the Spare Parts Department.

Remove the shelf in front of the filter.
Grip the filter and turn it 90°clockwise or anti-clockwise to remove.
Insert the new filter in the vertical position and turn it 90° clockwise or anti-clockwise until it clicks into position.

CLEANING YOUR APPLIANCE

Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all items including shelves and rack.

Wash the inside surfaces with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.

Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution.

Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning any area of the controls.

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

Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.

Do not clean the stainless steel with steel wool pads.

We suggest using an all-in-one stainless steel cleaner to clean the stainless steel. Always clean in the direction of the grain.

POWER FAILURE

In the event of a power interruption, all previous temperature settings are automatically memorized. If power is interrupted (power surge, breaker switch, etc.) and then powered up again, the unit will operate with the last temperature set-point.

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.

NOTE: Irrespective of the cause, if you notice either abnormal temperature or humidity levels inside your unit, be reassured that only long and frequent exposure to these abnormal conditions can cause a detrimental effect on your wines.

VACATION TIME

Short holidays: Leave the unit in operation for holidays of less than three weeks.

Long absences: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all items, turn off the appliance and unplug. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary.

MOVING YOUR APPLIANCE

Unplug the power plug from the electrical outlet.

Remove the contents from the racks and all moving parts from inside.

Raise the adjustable legs up to the base to avoid damage.

Tape the door shut and lock it if with a lock system.

Transport the unit only in the upright position. Also protect the outside of the appliance with a blanket or similar item.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

Should the unit be left empty for long periods of time, 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 odors forming.

The appliance should be installed in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances, and out of the direct sunlight.

Ensure that the unit is adequately ventilated. Never cover air vents. Clean dust and dirt from the condenser at regular intervals.

Only open the door for as long as necessary and for as short a time as possible.

Store the content in an organized way.

To allow air to circulate, do not overfill the appliance.
