Maintenance - Mistral MWC14R Operating Instructions Manual

Correct Positioning of Your Wine Cellar
Well ventilated
There is a need for good ventilation around the Wine
Cellar for easy dissipation of heat, high efficiency for
refrigeration and low power consumption. For this
purpose, sufficient clear space is needed around the
Wine Cellar with its back at least 100mm away from
the wall, its sides at least 200mm and no less than
300mm space from the top. A clear space should be
left to open its door to 160°.
Power Line Cord
The cord should be neither lengthened nor folded into
a coil during operation. Moreover, the cord should
never be touching the compressor at the back of
the Wine Cellar, the surface temperature of which is
quite high when operating. This will deactivate the
insulation or cause leakage of electricity. Using an
extension cord is NOT recommended.
Protection from Moisture
Avoid placing the Wine Cellar in a place where heavy
moisture is present so as to minimize the possibility
of rusting its metal parts.
The Wine Cellar should not be directly sprayed with
water as this could result in poor insulation and
current leakage.
Protection from Heat
The Wine Cellar should not be stored near any heat
source or direct sunshine.
The temperature range of this Wine Cellar is
highly dependent on where it is stored. The
ideal conditions for this Wine Cellar is inside
the household, away from direct sunlight, or
high ambient temperatures.
Stable Installation
Place the Wine Cellar on a strong and level floor.
An unstable installation can produce noise and
vibration. It is best to avoid constant movement and
vibrations that can easily disturb the wine. Putting
the Wine Cellar on carpet may cause a temperature
rise and result in discoloration of the carpet due to
the compressor heat. In such a case, place a hard
wooden board or rubber mat between the carpet
and the unit.
Avoid places that are exposed to coal, gas, petrol or
smoke as discolouring may occur on the Wine Cellar.
Moving
When fixed or moved, the Wine Cellar can not be
set horizontally or declined to more than 45° or
upside-down.
Before relocating or moving your Wine Cellar unplug
the power cord, remove the contents and fasten the
door with adhesive tape to prevent the door from
opening while moving.

MAINTENANCE

• The Wine Cellar should be cleaned and
maintained once a month.
• When performing maintenance, make sure that
the power plug is first disconnected from the
power outlet.
• Wipe the inner and outer surface of the Wine
Cellar and its accessories with a wet cloth.
If they are too dirty, scrub the surface with a
neutral detergent and rinse clean with water
and dry with a clean cloth.
• For cleaning do not use hot water, solvents,
petrol, alcohol, kerosene, washing powder,
cleanser, alkaline detergent, acid, chemical
cloths, etc. These products may damage
the lacquer coat and plastics. It is not
recommended to directly spray the Wine
Cellar with water as it may cause rust or
weaken insulation.
• Be careful to maintain the rubber seals of the
doors. They should always be cleaned.
• If any plastic parts in the Wine Cellar remain
contaminated for a long time by oil (animal
or vegetable), they will be easily aged and
possibly crack. The drain pan gets dirty very
easily if not cleaned regularly and bad odours
will be produced. It is recommended to clean
this pan regularly.
