• BEFORE USING YOUR APPLIANCE

Remove all exterior and interior packing. Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth. The unit may have residual odors at first; they will disappear as the unit cools.

Before connecting the appliance to the power source, let it stand upright for at least 24 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system caused by handling during transportation and ensure that the oil flows back into the compressor. During this time, we recommend that you leave the door open to clear any residual odors.

• INSTALLATION OF YOUR APPLIANCE

The appliances are designed to be built-in, recessed, or freestanding, depending on your model. For freestanding installation-only models, it is not intended to be used as a built-in appliance.

WARNING: Do not store or install the appliance outdoors. The unit is for indoor use only.

WARNING: Do not install the appliance in the laundry room. Avoid locating the unit in damp areas.

Place your appliance on a floor/surface that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded. Check that the base the drawer will sit on is clean and level (use a spirit level). This is important for the appliance to function correctly.

Push the drawer into the housing unit and make sure it is correctly aligned in the unit.

Open the drawer, and use the 4 screws supplied to secure it to the side walls of the housing unit.

For freestanding installation, 100mm of space between the back and sides of the unit is suggested to allow proper air circulation to cool the compressor and condenser for energy saving. Even with built-in installation, it is essential to keep 5mm of space on each side and at the top to ensure proper service access and ventilation. Make sure the air vent around the appliance is never covered or blocked in any way.

Locate the unit away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating, and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the unit to not perform properly.

Plug the unit into an exclusive, easily accessible socket. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed to a qualified electrician or an authorized product service center.

The appliance must be installed to all electrical, plumbing, water, and drain connections in accordance with state and local codes.

IMPORTANT: HIGH HUMIDITY CLIMATE. During periods of high humidity, some condensation may appear on the outside surface of the glass door. This condensation will disappear when humidity levels drop. To prevent this, it is advisable to install the appliance with sufficient ventilation in a dry and/or air-conditioned space.

- FULLY INTEGRATED BUILT-IN COLUMN INSTRUCTIONS

The unit door seals the installed unit almost completely, so an air vent must be provided in the base of the housing. Warmed air must be conducted via the ventilation shaft to the rear wall of the housing and then expelled upwards.

The ventilation channels should measure at least 200 square centimeters in cross-section. After installation, make sure that the appliance door opens and closes properly.

The unit depth is 575mm for the integrated model with an 18mm panel installed. WARNING: To ensure the proper functioning of the appliance, air vents should never be blocked or covered.

• BUILT-IN DRAWER INSTRUCTIONS

Air at the back of the unit gets warm. The unit is equipped with an integrated ventilation system to disperse the warm air automatically. Air intake is provided at the left side of the drawer door and housing, and the air escapes at the back and right side of the housing and at the right of the door. A cut-out measuring 100-200 x 140 mm at the right back of the housing and two circular cut-outs with a diameter of 50 mm on both sides of the housing are necessary for ventilation and power supply cord passage. The air inlet and outlet must not be covered or blocked in any way. They must also be regularly cleaned of dust. After installation, make sure that the appliance door opens and closes properly.

After installation, make sure that the appliance door opens and closes properly.

The unit depth is 575mm for the integrated model with an 18mm panel installed.

- If there is any gap at the top of the unit or between the rear wall of the unit and the housing rear plate, use the provided sponge to seal as shown in the figure below to create the ventilation channel.

WARNING: If the specified ventilation gaps are not observed, the compressor will run more frequently and for longer periods. This will result in increased energy consumption and a higher operating temperature for the compressor, which may cause damage to the compressor. It is essential to observe the specified ventilation gaps.

• ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

WARNING: Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced by a qualified electrician or an authorized service center.

All electrical work should be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person in accordance with local and national safety regulations.

Check that the voltage marked on the product corresponds with your supply voltage.

Connect this appliance to a separate circuit of at least 13A. Connection should be made via a suitable switched socket that is easily accessible. For extra safety, it is advisable to install a residual current device (RCD) with a trip current of 30mA.

Have the receptacle and the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to ensure that the socket is grounded correctly.

Note: In locations where there is frequent lightning, it is advisable to use surge protectors.

Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by an extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g., danger of overheating).

The appliance must not be connected to an inverter and must not be used with a plug adapter as these can cause damage to the appliance's electronic unit. The cord must rest securely behind the appliance and not be allowed to lie or hang unprotected.

TEMPERATURMINNESFUNKTION

TEMPERATURMINNEFUNKSJON

Setting the Temperature

The unit has a single adjustable temperature zone. The temperature can be set between 5^ C and 20^ C ( 41^ F and 68^ F). It can be used as a wine maturing cabinet or a wine serving cabinet. The recommended temperature setting range for maturing wine is between 11^ C and 14^ C ( 52^ F and 57^ F). The recommended temperature setting range for serving white wine is between 5^ C and 10^ C ( 41^ F and 50^ F), and the recommended temperature setting range for serving red wine is between 15^ C and 20^ C ( 58^ F and 68^ F).

When the unit is plugged in for the first time, it will power up automatically to the preset defaults. The temperature preset at the factory is 12^ C ( 54^ F) (ideal maturing temperature).

You can set the temperature as required by touching the UP or DOWN key. When you touch either key for the first time, the display will show the last temperature set. The temperature will increase by 1^ C/ 1^ F if you touch the UP key once, or decrease by 1^ C/ 1^ F if you touch the DOWN key once. The display flashes while you make the setting.

After the temperature has been set, the display shows the current inner temperature.

To view the set temperature at any time, touch the UP or DOWN key, and the set temperature will temporarily flash on the display for 5 seconds. Then the display will show the current inner temperature again.

TEMPERATURE DISPLAY

During normal operation, the temperature display on the control panel shows the temperature inside the appliance. The temperature display will flash if:

A different temperature is being set.

The temperature in the zone deviates by more than 5^ C ( 9^ F) from the set temperature.

The flashing temperature display ensures that temperature changes do not go unnoticed, which could impair the wine.

TEMPERATURE MEMORY FUNCTION

In the event of a power interruption (power surge, breaker switch, etc.), the unit remembers the previous temperature settings. When the power is restored, the cabinet temperature will return to the same setting as before the power interruption.

TEMPERATURE ALARM

An audible alarm will sound if the temperature rises or falls outside the set temperature range. The temperature display will flash simultaneously.

The temperature the appliance is set to determine the temperature the appliance recognizes as being too warm or too cool. The audible alarm will sound and the temperature display will flash in the following situations:

When you switch the appliance on, if the temperature inside the appliance is very different from the set temperature.

When there has been a lengthy interruption to the power supply.

When too many items have been put into the unit at one time, or too much ambient air flowed in when rearranging and removing storage items.

When the door has not been closed tightly.

If the appliance is faulty.

The audible alarm will automatically silence, and the temperature display will stop flashing when the set temperature is reached again. However, if the noise disturbs you, you can switch the audible alarm off before this by touching the POWER key once. The alarm will stop. The relevant temperature display will continue to flash until the set temperature has been reached. The display will then light up constantly, and the alarm system will be fully active again.

DOOR ALARM

If the door has been left open for more than 60 seconds, the audible alarm will sound. Closing the door or touching the POWER key once can switch off the audible alarm.

INTERIOR LIGHT

The interior lighting makes it easy to view your wine labels and enhances the display of your collection. Touching the LIGHT key toggles between two modes of operation for the interior lights: functional (default) mode and showcase mode. In functional (default) mode, the lights will turn on only when the door is open. The interior light will go out approximately 5 seconds after the door is closed. In showcase mode, the lights will be on whether the door is open or closed.

The unit is equipped with LED lights designed for an extremely long life. Thanks to the LED lighting, the wine will not be adversely affected by heat or UV light. However, they are not user-serviceable. To change them, please contact the service department.

NOTE: Please use only the original LED light fittings provided by the manufacturer.

DYNACLIMA / SILENT MODES

The appliance has two different running modes: DynaClima and Silent modes.

The DYNACLIMA (Dynamic Climate) mode enables the relative humidity inside the unit and the temperature to be distributed evenly around the interior, allowing you to store all your wine under exactly the same excellent conditions. If you plan to store wine long-term, the DYNACLIMA mode is essential. This mode creates a continuous climate in the cabinet that imitates that of a wine cellar.

In DYNACLIMA mode, the interior fan circulates the air evenly even when the set temperature is reached. To switch to DYNACLIMA mode, touch and hold the DOWN key for approximately five seconds. The wine cellar will beep five times to confirm DYNACLIMA mode is on. To switch to SILENT mode (also known as energy-saving mode), touch and hold the UP key for approximately five seconds. The wine cellar will beep three times to confirm SILENT (default) mode is on.

DK - OPBEVARING AF VIN

All wines mature at the same temperature, which is a constant temperature set between 12^ C and 14^ C. That the chart below is a guide temperature chart to indicate the best temperature for drinking purposes.

- Champagne NV, Sparkling, Spumante 6°C

- Dry white semillon, Sauvignon Blanc 8°C

- Champagne Vintage 10^ C

- Dry white Chardonnay 10°C

• Dry white Gewürztraminer, Riesling, Pinot grigio 10°C

- Sweet white Sauternes, Barsac, Montbazillac, Ice wine 10^

- Beaujolais 10°C 13°

13°C Sweet White Vintage: Sauternes... 14°C

• White vintage Chardonnay 14°C

• Red Pinot Noir 16°C

• Red Grenache, Syrah 16°C

• Red vintage Pinot Noir 18°C

• Cabernet & Merlot: French, Australian, New Zealand, 20°C

- Chilean, Italian, Spanish, Californian, Argentinian... 20° Vintage Bordeaux ... Room temperature not above 20°C

In other words, as long as the temperature of your wine cooler is constant (between 12^ C to 14^ C), wines will be stored in perfect conditions. Not all wines will improve with age. Some should be consumed at an early stage (2 to 3 years) while others have tremendous aging potential (50 and over). All wines have a peak in maturity. Check with your wine merchant for the relevant information.

Winemex 30 can store bottles of max. 315 mm on the shelves. At the bottom, you can store max. 320 mm bottles.
