G. 12 Volt internal Fan Motor
1. Remove the 2 screws from the evaporator cover plate.
2. Disconnect the fan motor (small male female connector close to the evaporator).
3. Insert the chisel knife between the cover plate and the edge of the fan motor air grille moulding
to ease away from the plate and release the fan motor.
H. Changing the Lamp (Tube)
1. Remove the top two wooden shelves.
2. Remove the Rokut rivets securing the plastic cover over the tube - this can be fiddly, and it is
sometimes better to remove the light assembly.
3. Twist the tube until the pins at the ends are in line vertically, the tube can now be pulled from the
lamp holders at each end.
J. Interior Light Assembly
1. Remove the 6 screws on the outer edge.
2. This will allow the housing to drop, which makes it easier to work on.
3. On reassembly, ensure that the cables are pushed back through the poly-styrene fully before
attempting to refit the light unit.
K. Door Assembly - double glazed
1. Remove the wine cellar from the cabinetry as in A.
2. Remove the top cover as in B.
3. Whilst supporting the door, remove the 4 screws securing the top hinge to the cabinet. Ease the
door and hinge outward; lift the door from the bottom hinge pin.
L. Removing the Wooden Shelves
Follow the instructions below to remove the wooden shelves:
1. Hold the front part of the shelf with one hand.
2. Slowly remove the shelf by pulling it toward you. Pull out the shelf by 1/3 of the way if you need
to remove or replace bottles.
3. Remove or replace the bottles you need and push the shelf back, making sure it locks into place.
4. Make sure the shelf is in place by trying to pull it out once again. If it moves, push it back in again
until it is securely in place.
To completely remove the shelf, follow step 1 and 2 and remove all bottles that on the shelf.
Slowly pull the shelf toward you until you remove it from its slots.
NOTE: - Do not, under any circumstances, remove more than one shelf at a time.
Important Notes:
1. The double glazed door is relatively heavy and some care is required when moving the appliance
or removing the door from the appliance. The door is available as a spare part and is supplied
with the small grey hinge components bolted to the glass.
2. Where the wine cellar has been removed from the cabinetry and is standing on an Oven Standing
Bench or similar surface, the appliance should be placed so that the door over-hangs the bench
tabletop.
3. Where the wine cellar is to be removed from the cabinetry and placed on a floor protector; ensure
that the front end of the cabinet is propped up so that the lower edge of the door is raised from
the floor.
