Troubleshooting Guide - Nuvo Koolspace 110 Assembly & Operation Manual

Although each Vintage Keeper cooling unit has been carefully tested at every stage of manufacture, occasional problems
arise, the majority of which are due to rough or careless handling during shipping or installation. Other problems may
derive from improper cabinet assembly, power interruption or surge, low line voltage (less than your unit rating of 105V
or 240V), or failure to clean the unit regularly (see illustration below). The following may help you determine what the
problem may be; what steps you can take to correct it, and what further steps may be required. Additional Trouble-Shoot-
ing information and downloadable documents are available in the "Support" area of our web site: www.koolspace.com
Cleaning the coil
IMPORTANT NOTE:
In order to provide maximum protection for your valuable wine collection, the following steps are highly advisable.
First and foremost, have your wine collection adequately insured. Second, install a battery-powered heat-sensitive alarm
to warn of any loss of cooling due to power interruption. Third, monitor your storage and ambient conditions on a regular,
daily basis. Fourth, install a high quality surge suppressor to protect against sudden power fluctuations. Fifth, clean the
unit as directed, on a regular basis, every 3 to 4 months vacuum the cooling unit coils (check our website for more info).
Sixth make sure to check water level in the DRAIN CUP periodically and empty. Be advised, also, that Drobot-Vintage
Keeper cannot in any event be liable or responsible for incidental or consequential damages.

NOT COOL
SUFFICIENTLY - Is the cabinet properly
assembled, with all joints air
tight?
- Is the door properly adjusted to
seal tightly when closed?
- Is airflow to and from the
cooling unit unobstructed?
- Is the ambient air temperature
within the specified range?
- Are any exterior surfaces of the
cabinet exposed to sunlight?
TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
CHECK:
- Note that the unit has a 1-minute cautionary delay
between plugging in and full start-up; this is a built-in
safeguard to protect the compressor in the event of
sudden power failure
- Note that the power supply must be a dedicated,
separately-fused and grounded 15 Amp, 120V line or 7.5
Amp, 240 V line rated for your unit. Must not use an exten-
sion cord. Do not share the outlet with other _appliances
- If the unit is receiving power yet fans or compressor fail
to run, unplug for ten minutes, then try again
- Note that the unit may take a few days to achieve the
desired storage temperature, even in a properly located,
airtight cabinet
- Take steps to reduce ambient temperatures and
compensate for additional heat gain if any cabinet walls
receive direct sunlight
- If gaps are visible at any panel joints, ensure that you
have tightened all cams in all panels, to ensure
an airtight seal as detailed in our instructions
- Take steps to improve circulation of air to and from the unit
- Adjust the door, if necessary, to seal tightly by
re-positioning the upper hinge and improving the cabinet
level
- Increase your SET TEMPERATURE
- Clean the fan and grille areas
- If the problem persists, go to our website at
www.koolspace.com and perform the "cooling unit
diagnostic" in the support section.
