Frequently Asked Questions - BTWCE28 Bellini

What is the temperature range of the Bellini BTWCE28 wine cellar?

The temperature range is 12°C to 18°C. Adjust using the variable temperature controller. Note a 4-6°C variance between top and bottom shelves.

How do I install the handle?

Remove the handle from the plastic bag and fix it with the two provided screws on the left side of the door.

What are the ventilation requirements for this wine cellar?

Ensure at least 50mm clearance at the back, 100mm on each side, and 100mm above the unit for proper heat dissipation.

Why is my wine cellar not cooling?

Check if the unit is plugged in, the circuit breaker has not tripped, the temperature setting is correct, the door is fully closed, and ventilation is adequate. If the issue persists, contact the service centre.

How do I clean the wine cellar?

Unplug the unit, remove all bottles. Wash the interior with warm water and baking soda solution (2 tablespoons per quarter of water). Clean shelves with mild detergent. Wipe exterior with mild detergent and warm water.

The door does not close properly. What can I do?

Check if the wine cellar is level. Ensure the door was reversed correctly (if applicable), the gasket is clean, and the shelves are in the correct position.

Why is there vibration or noise?

Vibrations often occur if the unit is not level. Use the leveling feet to adjust. Some popping/crackling from contraction/expansion of walls is normal.

Check the circuit breaker, ensure the unit is plugged in. If these are fine, the bulb may have blown and needs replacement.

Can I store both red and white wine together?

Yes, but note there is a 4-6°C temperature variance between top and bottom. Place white wine on the bottom shelves and red wine on the top shelves for optimal serving temperatures.

What should I do during a power failure?

Most power failures last a few hours and won't affect the unit if you minimize door openings. For longer outages, take steps to protect your wine (e.g., move to a cool location).

Features of Your Wine Cellar

Correct positioning of your Wine Cellar

Handle Installation

1. Take out the handle from the cellar and remove the plastic bag.
2. Use the 2 screws provided to fix the handle on the left side of the door.

Well Ventilated

For this purpose, sufficient clear space is needed around the Wine Cellar with its back at least 50mm away from the wall, its sides at least 100mm away from walls and no less than 100mm space from the top. A clear space should be left to open its door to 160°.

Protection From Moisture

Avoid placing the Wine Cellar in a place where heavy moisture is present so as to minimize the possibility of rusting it's 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. Putting the Wine Cellar on carpet may cause a temperature rise. In such a case, place a hard wooden board or rubber mat between the carpet and the unit.

Operation of your Wine Cellar

Before Putting Into Use

Clean the appliance, and be thorough, especially in the interior.

Wine Storage Tips

For wine to last as long as the wine maker suggests it needs to be stored in the correct conditions. Badly stored wines may age prematurely, oxidise and become undrinkable in a very short period of time.

Your Wine Cellar has a variable temperature controller so you can use it to maintain wines at a constant temperature or you may choose to chill wines prior to serving.

Temperature Control

The temperature range for Wine Cooler is 12°\~18°C.

When the temperature is set on one certain point and the temperature inside reaches this point, the automatic temperature control system begins to work and the cooling system goes into linear temperature keeping status.

Removable Shelves

The shelves can be moved up or down by sliding them out. This allows different sized bottles to be accommodated.

Note: There is a 4 to 6°C variance between the top and bottom shelves of the wine cooler. Therefore, if you want a mix of white and red wines, place the white wine bottles on the bottom rack and the red wine on the top shelves.

Tips For Energy Savings

Try not to open the door too often, especially if the weather is wet and hot. Once you open the door, close it as soon as possible.

Every now and then check if the appliance is sufficiently ventilated (adequate air circulation around the appliance).

Care and Maintenance

Cleaning the Wine Cellar

Unplug the unit, and remove all bottles. Wash the inside with a warm water and baking soda solution. (2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quarter of water.)

Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution. The outside of the wine cooler should be cleaned with mild detergent and warm water. It may be necessary to periodically wipe the bottom part of the storage area, as the wine cooler is designed to retain humidity, and condensation may collect there.

Power Failure

Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your wine cellar if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to be off for a longer period of time, take the proper steps to protect your contents.

Holiday Time

During long absences, remove all the bottles; unplug wine cellar, clean internally and leave the door slightly ajar to avoid possible formation of condensation or odors.

Moving the Wine Cellar

Remove all contents from the unit, securely tape all loose items inside the wine cellar, and the door shut. Ensure the leveling feet at the base of the unit are screwed in as tight as possible, and be sure the unit stays in an upright position during transportation.
