Vacation and Moving Care

Vacations
If you choose to turn the wine cellar off before you leave, follow
these steps.
1. Remove all wine bottles from the wine cellar.
2. Unplug the wine cellar.
3. Clean the wine cellar. See "Cleaning."
Try the solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.
Your wine cellar will not operate
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
Is the power supply cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded
3 prong outlet.
Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker
tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit.
The lights do not work
Is the power supply cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded
3 prong outlet.
The motor seems to run too much
Is the temperature outside hotter than normal? Expect the
motor to run longer under warm conditions. At normal
temperatures, expect your motor to run about 40% to 80% of
the time. Under warmer conditions, expect it to run even
more of the time.
4. Tape a rubber or wood block to the top of the door to prop it
open far enough for air to get in. This stops odor and mold
from building up.
Moving
When you are moving your wine cellar to a new home, follow
these steps to prepare it for the move.
1. Remove all wine bottles from the wine cellar.
2. Unplug the wine cellar.
3. Clean, wipe, and dry it thoroughly.
4. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape them
together so they don't shift and rattle during the move.
5. Tape the doors shut and tape the power cord to the wine
cellar.
When you get to your new home, put everything back and refer to
the "Installation Instructions" section for preparation instructions.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Is the door opened often? Expect the motor to run longer
when this occurs. In order to conserve energy, try to get
everything you need out of the wine cellar at once, keep wine
bottles positioned label side up so that they are easy to find,
and close the door as soon as the wine is removed.
Is the control set correctly for the surrounding
conditions? See "Using the Control."
Is the door closed completely? Push the door firmly shut. If
it will not shut all the way, see "The door will not close
completely" later in this section.
Temperature is too warm
Is the door opened often? Be aware that the wine cellar will
warm when this occurs. In order to keep the wine cellar cool,
try to get everything you need out of the wine cellar at once,
keep wine bottles positioned label side up so that they are
easy to find, and close the door as soon as the wine is
removed.
Is the control set correctly for the surrounding
conditions? See "Using the Control."
Is the exhaust vent blocked? For best performance, do not
install the wine cellar behind a cabinet door or block the
exhaust vent.
Has a large number of warm bottles been added? Limit
the number of bottles being placed into the wine cellar at one
time.
There is interior moisture buildup
Is the door opened often? To avoid humidity buildup, try to
get everything you need out of the wine cellar at once, keep
wine bottles positioned label side up so that they are easy to
find, and close the door as soon as the wine is removed.
When the door is opened, humidity from the room air enters
the wine cellar. The more often the door is opened, the faster
humidity builds up, especially when the room itself is very
humid.
Is it humid? It is normal for moisture to build up inside the
wine cellar when the air is humid.
Is the control set correctly for the surrounding
conditions? See "Using the Control."
