Operation and Controls

It is recommended you install the appliance in a place where the ambient temperature is between 72º- 78ºF / 23º-26ºC. If the ambient temperature is above or below recommended temperatures, the performance of the wine refrigerator may be affected. For example, placing your appliance in extreme cold or hot conditions may cause interior temperatures to fluctuate.
NOTE:
When using the wine refrigerator for the first time or restarting after being shut off for a long period of time, there may be a few degrees variance between the set  emperature and the LED readout. This is normal due the length of activation time. The unit should return to normal after running for a few hours. The internal temperature of this unit will not rise if the ambient temperature where the unit is located is lower than the settemperature.

SETTING THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL

• During normal operation, the temperature display on the control panel shows the temperature inside the appliance.
• When the unit is plugged in for the first time, the unit will power up automatically to the preset defaults. The preset temperature is 54ºF (12ºC).
• You can press the left side UP and DOWN keys to control the internal temperature of the appliance.
• The temperature that you desire to set will increase 1ºC or 1ºF if you press the UP key once and will decrease 1ºC or 1ºF if you press the DOWN key once. The display flashes while you make the setting.
• After the temperature has been set, the display will flash four times before it shows the current internal temperature of the particular temperature zone.
• To view the set temperature at any time, press the UP or DOWN key, the set temperature will temporarily flash in the display for 5 seconds. Then the display shows the current internal temperature

Note: It is normal for the fan turn on and off to circulate the air inside of the cabinet for even temperature distribution and to save energy. The fan running saves energy by circulating the cool air to prevent the compressor from running too frequently ensure even internal temperature distribution.
TEMPERATURE MEMORY FUNCTION
In the event of a power interruption (power surge, breaker switch, etc.), the unit can remember the previous temperature settings. When the power has restored, the
temperature display will show the current cabinet temperature.
DOOR ALARM
If the door has been left open for more than 60 seconds, the alarm will sound. The alarm will stop by closing the door.
INTERIOR LIGHT
The interior light makes it easy to view your wine labels. The light will turn on when the door is open and turns off when the door is closed. The light can also be turned on or off using the light button on the display.
SABBATH MODE
Sabbath mode is available for the observance of certain religious holidays. This mode turns off the displays, interior light and audible alarms and prevents them from turning on again. Normal cooling operations will still take place. To initiate Sabbath mode, press and hold the POWER and LIGHT keys at the same time for at least 5 seconds. The indicator light will flash four times and confirm the Sabbath mode is ON. Sabbath mode can be exited by re- peating the above process. The Sabbath Mode will automatically exit after 96 hours.
CABINET SHELVES
NOTE: Do not cover any part of the shelves with aluminum foil or any other material that will prevent adequate air circulation within the cabinet. This appliance is equipped with removable shelves. To prevent damage to the door gasket, make sure the door isopened completely before pulling the shelves out.

• For easy access of the wine bottles, you must pull the shelves approximately ⅓ out of the railing.
• The shelves are designed with an emergency stop to prevent them being removed too far when loaded.
• When removing the shelves out of the railing, make sure to remove all items first.
• To remove the shelves, pull the shelf forward until the notch aligns with the plastic post. Lift the shelf and continue to pull the shelf forward until it is completely removed from the internal compartment.

NORMAL SOUNDS
The unit is cooled by a compressor. The compressor pumps refrigerant through the cooling system, producing operating noises. Even when the compressor shuts off, noises caused by changes in temperature and pressure are unavoidable. Operating noise will be most audible immediately after the compressor comes on. 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 compressor. This noise can get louder for brief periods when the motor is switching on.
• Cracking/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.
• Where the unit is installed in 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.

NOTE: An individual’s perception of noise is directly linked to the environment in which the unit is located, as well the specific type of model. Our appliances are in line with international standards for such appliance and in line with the latest technical developments. Please remember that the noise of the compressor and the refrigerant circulating in the system is unavoidable.
DEFROSTING AND VENTILATION
Your wine refrigerator is designed with an automatic defrost system. During off-cycle, the evaporator behind the rear wall of the unit defrosts automatically. Condensation is collected in the drain at the back of the unit and flows through the drainage hole into the drip tray above the compressor. The heat is transferred from compressor and evaporates any condensation that has collected in the drip tray. Part of the remaining water within the wine refrigerator is collected for humidity purposes.
NOTE: Frost may accumulate 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.

Storage

DOOR LOCK
The appliance is provided with a lock and key combination. The keys are located inside the plastic bag that holds the User Manual. Insert the key into the lock and turn it counterclockwise to unlock the door. To lock the door do the reverse operation making sure metal pin is engaged completely. Remove the key and place it in a secure place.
STORAGE
Wine bottles may differ in size and dimensions so the actual number of bottles can be stored may vary. The 54 bottle capacities are approximate maximums when storing traditional Bordeaux 750 ML bottles and includes bulk storage.
You may load your wine bottles in a single row or by stacking while taking note of the following: if you do not have enough bottles to fill your wine refrigerator, it is recommended to distribute the load throughout the cabinet as to avoid “all on top” or “all below” type loads.

• You can remove or relocate the adjustable shelves to accommodate larger types of bottles (see removing shelves).
• Keep small gaps between the walls and the bottles to allow air circulation.
• Do not over load your wine refrigerator.
• Avoid obstructing the internal fans (located inside on the back panel of the wine refrigerator).
• Do not try to slide the shelves outwards beyond the fixed position to prevent the bottles from falling.
• Do not pull out more than one loaded shelf at a time as this may cause the wine refrigerator to tilt forward if not properly installed.

REMOVING SHELVES

• To remove any of the shelves from the rail compartment, move the shelf to the position where the notch of shelf is exactly under the plastic post and then lift it up and out.
• In order to replace the shelf, repeat steps described above in reverse. And make sure to engage the shelves with the small pegs of the extended rails when the model is equipped with roller system.

REMOVING SHELVES

• To remove any of the shelves from the rail compartment, pull out and extend shelf to expose all screws.
• Remove all screws under the shelf. (See Figure 1)
• Remove all screws from the extended shelf railing. (See Figure 2)
• In order to replace the shelf, repeat steps described above in reverse.
