This appliance contains the coolant isobutane (R600a), a natural gas which is environmentally friendly. Although it is fl ammable, it does not damage the ozone layer and does not increase the greenhouse effect. The use of this coolant has, however, led to a slight increase in the noise level of the appliance. In addition to the noise of the compressor, you might be able to hear the coolant flowing around the system. This is unavoidable, and does not have any adverse effect on the performance of the appliance. Care must be taken during the transportation and setting up of the appliance that no parts of the cooling system are damaged. Leaking coolant can damage the eyes.

Special notes

• Children between the ages of 3 and 8 are allowed to fill refrigerators with food and remove food.
• When positioning the unit, make sure that the power cord is not pinched or damaged.
  • Make sure that there are no multiple sockets or power supplies on the back of the unit.

To avoid contamination of food, please follow the instructions below:

- A prolonged opening of the door can lead to a significant rise in temperature in the compartments of the appliance.

WARNING

When using, servicing and disposing of the unit, pay attention to the left symbol on the rear of the unit or on the compressor. This symbol warns of possible fires. There are flammable substances in the refrigerant lines and in the compressor. Keep the appliance away from sources of fire during use, maintenance and disposal.

Notes on correct use

• This device is intended exclusively for the storage of wine.
• This appliance is not intended for use as a built-in appliance unless explicitly mentioned in the instructions.
  • This appliance is not suitable for freezing food.
• The shelves have been installed in advance to allow the most efficient use of energy.

Note: It is recommended to set the temperature to 12 °C. If the temperature is set too high, the wine may spoil; if the temperature is set too low, a lot of electricity is consumed.

INSTALLATION

Before first Use

Allow 24 hours before switching on the wine cellar. During this time we recommend that you leave the door open to clear any residual odors.

Note: All models without front venting (air opening) are strictly for free standing only.

Location

The location you have selected for your wine cellar should:

• be unencumbered and well ventilated;
- be well away from any heat source and direct sunlight;
• not be too damp (laundry, pantry, bathroom etc.);
• have a flat floor;
• have a standard and reliable electricity supply
• have a surge protector fitted to the electrical outlet;
- Away from the microwave oven. Certain microwave ovens do not have wave interference shield. When placed within 1 meter vicinity of the wine cabinet, they may affect the operation of the wine cabinet.

Placing in cold or hot temperature conditions may cause cellar's temperatures fluctuating, and it will not reach the ideal one.

Installation

• Unpack and remove all of the protection and adhesive strips from the packaging around and inside the wine cellar.
• The wine cellar must be positioned such that the plug is accessible. Release the power cord. Move your wine cellar to its final location. The wine cellar should be installed in a suitable place where the compressor will not be subject to physical contact.
• Wine cellar must be leveled BEFORE loading your wines. Your wine cellar is equipped with 4 adjustable feet to facilitate easy leveling. The cooler recommends that you tighten the back feet to the maximum and adjust the front feet to level the wine cellar.

FILLING THE WINE DISPENSER

ON/OFF SPROUT 1 2 3 4
1	Use this button to turn the wine dispenser on and off.
2	Insert the plastic tube into the wine bottle before attaching it.
3	If the bottle has a screw cap, unscrew the supplied adapter first. Slide the holder upwards and insert the bottle neck (or adapter) into the holder.
4	Then move the holder back down and make sure that the bottle is tight.

• Once you have secured the bottles, press the ON/OFF button to the left of the bottle holders to turn on the wine dispenser.
• To pour wine into a glass, hold the glass under the tap and press and hold the ON/OFF button above the tap until you have filled the desired amount of wine. Then release the button.

Note: Follow the cleaning instructions to ensure optimum operation of the wine dispenser.

GETTING STARTED

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.

Note: 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, 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:

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

Loading the Wine Cellar

• 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.
• 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.

Notes on Temperature 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.

These wine cellars reproduce the ideal conditions for wine storage, at a constant recommended temperature of 12 °C. T Unless stated by the wine maker on the bottle, We recommends 7 °C for your champagne, 12 °C for whites and 18 °C for reds.

Temperature Settings

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 +/- 2.5 °C 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 0.5 °C to 1 °C.

CLEANING AND CARE

Cleaning the Unit

• First switch off the unit and disconnect the power plug from the socket. Remove the entire contents.
• Wash the interior with a damp cloth dipped in lukewarm water with a little detergent.
• Make sure that the rubber seal on the door is clean so that the unit remains powerful.
• The exterior of the wine refrigerator should be cleaned with a mild detergent.
  • Dry the inside and outside with a soft cloth.
• Dust and anything else that blocks the exhaust air openings will reduce the cooling capacity of the unit. If necessary, suck off the exhaust air opening.

Shutdown in absentia

• Turn off the unit first. Then disconnect the power plug.
• Remove the entire contents.
• Clean the unit.
• Keep the lid open slightly to prevent condensation, mould or odours.

Installation at another Location

• Turn off the unit first. Disconnect the power plug.
• Remove the entire contents.
• Secure all loose objects with adhesive tape.
• Tape the doors shut.

Energy Saving Tips

The wine refrigerator should be placed in the coolest place in the room, away from appliances that emit heat, heating pipes and direct sunlight. Make sure the door is properly closed when the wine refrigerator is on.

Cleaning the wine dispenser

A	Hole for dispensing wine
B	Silicone tube for dispensing wine, removable
C	Stainless nozzle, removable
D	Wine stopper, locks mouth of bottle and make the bottle suspend
E	Sealed silicone plug, can steady the bottle when it is suspended
F	Silicone tube for suctioning wine, removable, it can reach into bottom of bottle
Note: It is important to clean the removable parts B/C/F regularly. We recommend weekly cleaning. The parts can either be removed and cleaned or cleaned via the silicone hose for wine suction by pumping purified water into the bottle for 3-5 seconds. This will prevent the small silicone tube from being clogged by residual wine inside the tube for dispensing wine, which can cause the pump to fail.
