Install Limitations

Do not install your wine cooler in any location not properly insulated or heated e.g. garage etc.

Select a suitable location for the wine cooler on a hard even surface away from direct sunlight or heat source e.g. radiators, baseboard heaters, cooking appliances etc. Any surface unevenness should be corrected with the leveling legs located on the front and rear bottom corners of the wine cooler. Avoid placing unit where there may be electrical interference.

Note: To minimize the risk of rusting, leakage and insulation damage, avoid placing the unit in a place where heavy moisture is present. Under no circumstances spill or directly apply water onto or into the unit.

DEFROSTING/CONDENSATION/HYGROMETRY/VENTILATION

Your wine cellar is designed with "Auto-cycle" defrost system. During "Off-cycle" the refrigerated surfaces of the wine cellar defrost automatically. Defrost water from the wine cellar storage compartment drains automatically and part of it goes into a drainage container, which is located at the back of the wine cellar next to the compressor. The heat is transferred from the compressor and evaporates any condensation that has collected in the pan. Part of the remaining water is collected within the wine cellar for humidity purposes.
This system enables the creation of the correct humidity level inside your wine cellar required by the natural cork to maintain a long lasting seal.

Notes: The water collected by condensation, is therefore recycled. Under extremely dry environmental conditions, you may have to add some water into the water container provided with your wine cellar.

All units are equipped with a double glazed glass door that has a third internal acrylic layer to minimize condensation on the glass door.

The wine cellar is not totally sealed; fresh air admission is permitted through the drainpipe. Air is circulated through the cellar by means of a fan/fans and the hollow shelves.

Notes: During the refrigerating cycle, heat is given off and disperses through the external surfaces of the wine cellar. Avoid touching the surfaces during those cycles

OPERATION ANOMALIES

Ensure that there is power to the electrical supply plug by connecting another electrical appliance to it. Check fuse, if any. Make sure that the door is closed properly.

If your wine cellar appears to be malfunctioning, unplug it and contact your after sales service. Any intervention on the cold circuit should be performed by a refrigeration technician who should carry out an inspection of the circuit sealing system. Similarly, any intervention on the electrical circuit should be performed by a qualified electrician

NOTES:
Any intervention performed by a non- authorized technician will lead to the warranty being considered as null and void.

DOOR LOCK:
Your unit is provided with a lock and key combination. The keys are located inside the plastic bag that contains the Owner's Manual. Insert the key into the lock and turn it to unlock the door.
To lock the door, insert the key into the lock and turn it the opposite direction, making sure metal pin is engaged completely. Remove the key and place it in a secure place for safekeeping.

TURNING ON YOUR WINE CELLAR

Plug in and switch on the cellar by pressing on the power button for a few seconds.
When you use the wine cellar for the first time (or restart the wine cellar after having it shut off for a long time), there will be a few degrees variance between the temperature you have selected and the one indicated on the LED readout. This is normal and it is due to the length of the activation time. Once the wine cellar is running for a few hours everything will stabilize.

If the unit is unplugged, power is lost, or turned off, wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit. The wine cellar will not start if you attempt to restart before this time delay.

Operating Noises

To reach the desired temperature settings, Our wine cellars, like all wine cellars operating with compressors and fans, may produce the following types of noises. These noises are normal and may occur as follows:

1. Gurgling sound - caused by the refrigerant flowing through the appliance's coils.
2. Cracking/popping sounds - resulting from the contraction and expansion of the refrigerant gas to produce cold.
3. Fan operating sound - to circulate the air within the wine cellar.

An individual's perception of noise is directly linked to the environment in which the wine cellar is located, as well the specific type of models. Our wine cellars are in line with international standards for such appliance. We will always do its utmost to satisfy its customers but will not retake possession of the goods due to complaints based on normal operating noise occurrences.

Loading Your Wine Cellar

You may load your wine bottles in single or double rows while taking note of the following:

• If you do not have enough bottles to fill your wine cellar, it is better to distribute the load throughout the wine cellar so as to avoid "all on top" or "all below" type loads.
• Do remove or relocate adjustable wooden shelves to accommodate larger type of bottles or increase the capacity of the cellar by stacking the bottles up when necessary. (See removing shelves)
• Keep smalls gap between the walls and the bottles to allow air circulation. Like an underground cellar air circulation is important to prevent mould and for a better homogeneous temperature within the cellar.

• Do not over load your wine cellar to facilitate air circulation.
• Do not stack more than 1.5 rows of standard 0.75L bottles per shelves to facilitate air circulation
• Avoid obstructing the internal fans (located inside on the back panel of the wine cellar).
• Do not slide the shelves outwards beyond the fixed position to prevent the bottles from falling.
• Do not pull out more than one loaded shelf at a time as this may cause the wine cellar to tilt forward.
• Do not cover the wooden shelves with alloy foil or other materials, as it will obstruct air circulation.
• Do not move your wine cellar while it is loaded with wines. This might distort the body of the wine cellar and cause back injury.

Types Of Regulation

Please note that depending on the loading and settings chosen it takes about 24 hours for the wine cellar to see the temperature stabilizing.
During this time LED seems to move erratically in particular, It is normal and this process occurs whenever the setting is modified and/or whenever a large amount of bottles are added to the cellar.

Temperature Settings

• The LED displays by default the actual internal air temperature.
• The temperature of the power, before all Settings will be resumed after the electricity to power the preset temperature
• The electrical board of all models comes with memory function.
• It is important to understand that there is a difference between the air temperature inside the wine cellar and the actual temperature of the wine.
• You will need to wait approximately 12 hours before noticing the effects of temperature adjustment due to the critical mass within a full wine cellar.

Once the temperature is set, it is strongly advised not to toy with it or adjust frequently. The thermostat will maintain the temperature inside the wine cellar within a +/- (2.5ºC / 36.5°F) range. But the thermal inertia of the wine and the glass is such that within this temperature range, the actual temperature of the wine will only fluctuate ( 0.5ºC to 1ºC )/(33 to 34°F)

WINE SERVING TEMPERATURE CHART

All wines mature at the same temperature, which is a constant temperature set between 12ºC to 14ºC (54 to 57°F). The below chart is an indicative temperature chart to indicate the best temperature for drinking purposes.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT TERMPERATURE

Your wine cellar has been designed to guarantee optimum conditions for storing and/or serving your wines. Fine wines require long and gentle developments and need specific conditions in which to reach their full potential.

All wines mature at the same temperature, which is a constant temperature set between 12ºC to 14ºC (54 to 57°F). Only the temperature of "dégustation" (wine appreciation) varies according to the type of wines (see "Wine Serving Temperature Chart" above). This being said and as it is for natural cellars used by wine producers for long period of storage, it is not the exact temperature that is important, but its consistency. In other words, as long as the temperature of your wine cellar is constant between (12ºC to 14ºC) (54 to 57°F) your wines will be stored in perfect conditions.

Not all wines will improve over the years. Some should be consumed at an early stage (2 to 3 years) while others have tremendous ageing capability (50 and over). All wines have a peak in maturity. Do check with your wine merchant to get the relevant information.

CLEANING YOUR WINE COOLER

Always unplug the unit before cleaning or performing maintenance. Never use harsh cleansers or scouring pads to clean any part of the unit. Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all items including shelves. Wash the inside surfaces with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water. Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution.

Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth before cleaning control panels or any electrical parts. Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth

POWER FAILURES

In the event of a power interruption, all previous temperature settings are automatically preservation and it will revert to a preset temperature setting.

Most power failures are corrected within a short period of time. An hour or two's loss of power will not affect wine cellar's temperatures. To avoid sudden change of temperature while the power is off, you should avoid opening the door. For longer period of power failure, do take steps to protect your wine.

Irrespective of the cause, if you notice either abnormal temperature or humidity levels inside your wine cellar, be reassured that only long and frequent exposure to these abnormal conditions can cause a detrimental effect on your wines.
