Section 4. Maintenance
Section 1. Installation
This appliance is intended to be used exclusively for the storage of wine. This appliance is designed for domestic use only and should be operated in ambient temperatures (surrounding air temperature) between 16°C and 32°C (61-90°F). If these temperatures are exceeded i.e. colder or warmer, the appliance will not operate correctly.
1.1. Before Use
Remove all securing tapes. Wash the inside of the appliance with lukewarm water with a little bicarbonate of soda added (5ml to 0.5 litre of water). Do not use soap or detergent as the smell may linger. Dry the appliance thoroughly.
1.2. Installing the Door Handle
- Carefully ease the door seal to one side
- Attach the door handle using the two screws
- Ease the door seal back into place
1.3. Installation & Ventilation Requirements
To ensure correct operation this appliance must not be located where the temperatures may fall below 16^ C or rise above 32^ C.
Avoid the following locations: unheated kitchen, outhouse, conservatory, garage.
For correct operation this appliance must be installed:
- In a dry atmosphere
- Out of direct sunlight.
- Away from extreme temperature (not next to a cooker or other sources of heat)
Ensure the following points are observed during installation:
- The appliance must be placed on a strong floor
- The appliance must be level. Adjust the level by screwing the adjustable foot up or down (use your fingers or a suitable spanner)
- The appliance must be upright and in firm contact with the floor so that the cabinet is stable.
- You must ensure that the Front Ventilation Panel remains clear.
1.4. Shelves
- The shelves can be pulled out by approximately 1/3 in order to facilitate access to your wine.
- Depending on the model supplied, your wine cooler will be fitted with non-telescopic or telescopic shelves (see image below).
- Always ensure that the door is fully open before pulling out the shelves. Failure to do this may damage the door seal which may not be covered under the guarantee.
- Do not place any form of material across the shelves as this will prevent air-circulation inside the unit and prevent your wine cooler from operating correctly.
Section 2. Safety Advice
- Please read this booklet thoroughly before installing and switching on the appliance. The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for incorrect installation and usage.
- If this appliance is to replace an old refrigerator with a lock; as a safety measure break or remove the lock and/or door before disposal.
- Your old appliances contain insulation gases and refrigerant that must be disposed of correctly. Please ensure that the refrigerant circuit is not damaged before the appliance is taken away for correct disposal in line with current legislation. If there is any doubt contact your Local Authority for instructions.
- This appliance may contain the refrigerant isobutene (R600a). This is a natural gas with a high level of environmental compatibility; however, caution is required as isobutene is a flammable gas. It is essential to ensure that refrigerant tubes are not damaged during transportation and the installation of the appliance. In the event that the refrigerant circuit is damaged, avoid naked flames or sources of ignition and ventilate the room in which the appliance is situated.
- Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
- The appliance shall not be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction on how to use the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
- Do not allow children to play with the appliance. Children must never play in or around the appliance.
- If using an adaptor, this must be used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and ensure that the electrical circuit is not overloaded as this could cause overheating.
- Do not twist or bend the cables, and keep them away from hot surfaces.
- Do not plug in or unplug this appliance with wet hands.

3.2. Temperature Control
Please note that this is a wine cooler and not a fridge. This appliance is intended to be used exclusively for the storage of wine. The interior of this appliance will not get as cold as a fridge – it is designed to maintain wines at the correct temperature. The temperature range is 2^-12^ (36-54°F) for the Upper Zone and 12^-20^ (54-68°F) for the Lower Zone.

3.3. Normal Operating Sounds
You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped to the cooling system and through the coils or tubing at the rear of the appliance. When the compressor is in operation you may hear a slight whirring sound or pulsating noise. The thermostat controls the operation of the compressor, and you may hear a slight click as it cycles in and out.
3.4. Energy Saving Advice
Do not install the appliance close to sources of heat, such as a cooker, dishwasher or radiator. Locate the appliance in a cool well-ventilated room and make sure that the air vents are clear.
Try to avoid keeping the door open for long time, warm air will enter the cabinet, and may cause condensation as well as affecting the energy consumption. Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the door from closing properly
3.5. In the Event of a Power Failure
If there is a power failure, keep the door closed. When the power has been restored the appliance will start to operate but it may take some time to achieve the pre-set operating temperature.
Section 4. Maintenance
Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried out, DISCONNECT the appliance from the ELECTRICITY supply.
4.1. Internal Cleaning
Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0.5 litre of water). Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products, wax polishes or cleaning products containing bleach or alcohol.
4.2. External Cleaning
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. Do NOT use abrasive products. There may be sharp edges on the underside of the product, so care should be taken when cleaning. Once or twice a year dust the condenser (black grille) and the compressor at the back of the appliance, with a brush or vacuum cleaner, as an accumulation of dust will affect the performance of the appliance and cause increased energy consumption.
4.3. When the appliance is not in use
When the appliance is not in use for long periods, i.e. nothing is being stored in the appliance, disconnect from the electricity supply, clean the appliance, leaving the door ajar until you wish to use the appliance again.
