BEFORE USING YOUR WINE CABINET

Remove the exterior and interior packing.

IMPORTANT:

Before connecting the wine cabinet to the power source, let it stand upright for at least 12 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.

Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.

Make sure to turn the unit off and unplug it from the outlet.

NOTE

To protect the appliance in transit and delivery the door is packed tightly against the cabinet. When first installed this can mean the door seal appears thinner on one side of the door due to compression, this is normal and once out of the box it will relax over a short period of time and the door will return to the normal position. If you wish to speed up the process you can gently warm the seal with a hair dryer on a low temperature setting. This can help relax the seal helping it return to normal thickness a little faster.

INSTALLATION OF YOUR WINE CABINET

Place your wine cabinet on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded.
To level your wine cabinet, adjust the front levelling leg at the bottom of the cabinet.
Ensure it is perfectly level, as this will minimise any vibrations.
This appliance uses flammable refrigerant. Never damage the cooling pipework during transportation.
Locate the wine cooler away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (ovens, hobs, heaters, radiators, etc.). Never clean appliance parts with flammable fluids. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion. When disposing your appliance, please choose an authorised disposal site.
Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.

It is fitted with a power cord having an earth wire terminating in a 13amp plug.
Ensure the product is correctly ventilated (see page; 15 & 16).
Consult a qualified electrician or service engineer if the earthing instructions are not completely understood.
Plug the wine cabinet into an exclusive, properly installed-grounded wall outlet. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) pin from the plug. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or Caple service.

WARNING:

Incorrect earthing can result in the risk of electric shock.

Please use the cabinet within ambient temperatures between 16-32°C, if the ambient temperature is higher or lower than this, it will cause the temperature to fluctuate in the cabinet, possibly preventing it from reaching 5-18°C.

HOLIDAY

SHORT HOLIDAYS: Leave the wine cabinet operating during holidays of less than three weeks.

LONG HOLIDAYS: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all items and turn off the appliance. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odour and mould growth, leave the door open slightly (blocking it open if necessary).

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

The wine cabinet should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances, and out of the direct sunlight.

CLOSING THE DOOR

Close the door with care as slamming the door puts excess stress on the appliance and can cause the door to bounce open slightly. If this is not noticed, it can cause excess moisture to build up in the cabinet which in extreme cases can lead to the evaporation tray overflowing.

DEFROSTING/CONDENSATION

Your wine cabinet is designed with an "Auto-cycle" defrost system. When the RUN cycle is OFF, the refrigerated surface of the wine cabinet (interior rear wall) defrosts automatically. The defrosted water is channelled into a drain pan which is located at the back of the cabinet next to the compressor from where it evaporates.

HUMIDITY SYSTEM

The wine cabinet is equipped with a system for maintaining the correct level of humidity. If humidity is too low, insert the small plastic reservoir on to the top shelf. Fill this reservoir 3/4 full with water. Check the water level occasionally and refill as necessary.
