A. Location To ensure adequate ventilation of the fridge, allow a minimum of 15 cm between the wine fridge and the nearby walls as shown in the illustration below. B. Unpacking the device and discarding the packaging. Remove all packaging, as well as protective elements inside the device's compartments, before turning it on.
C. Foot adjustment Your wine fridge is equipped with an adjustable foot to facilitate levelling. It is recommended to adjust the front feet to level the wine fridge. Correctly levelled feet will limit noise and vibration of the wine fridge. Turn the adjustable foot by hand (be careful not to jam your fingers).
F. Change in the orientation of the door: The door can be right or left opening. Change the door by following the instructions below. Making this change requires 2 people. Instructions for changing the "right-hung" door and reassembling it so it is "left-hung": 1.

V USING YOUR WINE FRIDGE A. Loading your wine fridge • You can load your wine bottles in single or double rows. • For loading, take note of the following: if you don’t have enough bottles to completely fill your wine fridge, it’s best to spread the load over the entire height of the wine cellar to avoid a thermal imbalance at the top or bottom of the fridge.
SETTING TYPES: Please note that depending on where your wine fridge is kept, how often the door is open, the ambient temperate and the loading, the time taken to reach the set temperate varies. Usually, it takes about 24 hours for the wine fridge to reach the desired temperature and indicate a stable temperature on the digital display.
The indoor fan helps keep the temperature consistent throughout the fridge. The fridge door should not be kept open for long periods of time as it will impact the fridge’s ability to remain cool. This fridge is a multi-zone fridge which allows you to set the temperature of each compartment independently.

VI MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING A. Defrosting Your wine cellar is designed with a "natural" defrosting system. When the engine is shut down, the refrigerated surfaces of the wine cellar automatically defrost. The de-icing water descends into a drainage container near the compressor at the back of the wine fridge. This water is evaporated by the heat produced by the compressor.
Page 30
At certain times of the year, condensation on the door may occur. If this happens, wipe the water from the door and avoid opening the door of the fridge often as this amplifies the difference between the inside of the fridge and the ambient temperature. In case of prolonged absence, empty and clean the appliance;...
