Page 5: Cabinet Installation
Cabinet installation is a very simple process, spending a small amount of time fine tuning the cabinet will ensure cabinet aesthetics and longevity. These are the simple steps for installation (further explained on the indicated pages): 1. Inspect the cabinet (below) 2. - Page 6 PLACING THE CABINET (CONT.) Ventilation The cabinet must have adequate ventilation to allow the exhaust side of the cool- ing unit to operate correctly. As the unit cools on the inside, condensing refriger- ant creates heat, which will need to dissipate away from the unit on the outside. Some units have an exhaust fan mounted on top of the cabinet, which forces air away from the unit vertically.
- Page 7 LEVELING THE CABINET The cabinets have leveling legs that can be adjusted up or down with a wrench (provided with unit) as needed. There are two primary reasons for leveling the cabinet: — To assure that the unit stands solidly on the floor without rocking back and forth —...

Page 8: Door Alignment
DOOR ALIGNMENT To assure the best performance from your Vinothèque wine cabinet, the doors must seal properly in order to prevent cool air from escaping. Check the alignment of the doors before filling it with bottles of wine. The doors are aligned at the factory and no additional special door alignment is needed for Credenzas. If adjustments are necessary, compensate for this problem by adjusting the two front and/or outside legs. -

LIQUID MEASURING THERMOMETER All cabinets come with our Precision Digital Technology liquid temperature measuring thermostat system.

Aside from the probe, the system offers other advantages: —... -

Page 17: Testing The Refrigeration Unit
TESTING THE REFRIGERATION UNIT Remember, do not start or plug in your unit for 24 hours after delivery. Many units are placed on their sides during shipping, which may allow compressor oil to escape their reservoirs. Premature starting before the oil has had a chance to resettle can cause damage to the compressor and result in a lack of cooling. -
Page 18: Normal Operation & Maintenance
NORMAL OPERATION & MAINTENANCE The cooling unit will cycle on and off as needed once the temperature has stabilized and the initial “cool- down” has been completed. The condensate evaporator and temperature equalizer switches may be turned off for normal operation. —... -

Door gasket not sealing correctly If the cabinet’s cooling system is running continually without reaching the desired temperature, the problem may lie with the door gaskets not sealing correctly. Examine the door gasket around the entire unit. You can also check this by turning on the cabinet’s interior light and turning off the lighting in the room.
- Page 21 TROUBLESHOOTING (CONT.) Unfinished wood cabinets are NOT warranted against warpage Although the finest craftsmanship and materials are always used to make Vinothèque products, unfinished wood cabinets are not warranted against warpage. Because the grain of the wood is not sealed against potential warpage that can occur through different kinds of climates, it is not recommended to request yours in this style.

Page 22: Cooling Unit Repairs
COOLING UNIT REPAIRS If repairs are needed to the cooling unit, it must be returned to the factory for evaluation and repair. 1. Contact our customer service department — (800) 343-9463 — and describe the problems you are experiencing with the unit. The customer service department will first seek to determine that no external factors are contributing to the improper operation of your cooling unit. -
Page 23: Testing A Return Unit
TESTING A RETURN UNIT All units sent in for repair are tested thoroughly. They undergo a complete line of testing that includes amperage load for electrical malfunctions, thermostat graph testing to document the units ability to cool sufficiently, and if needed the unit will be tested on its ability to hold a Freon charge. If the unit checks out as running correctly, the customer will be responsible for paying an inspection fee and the freight charges associated with returning the unit. - Page 24 TESTING A RETURN UNIT (CONT.) Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, or allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. In addition, if you enter into a service contract with The Convenience Series Partnership within 90 days of the date of sale, the limitation on how long an implied warranty lasts does not apply to you.
