Frequently Asked Questions - CVKS 671 VESTFROST

What should I do when I first receive my Vestfrost CVKS 671 wine cooler?

Check for transport damage. Wash the interior with a mild unscented detergent and wipe dry. If the appliance was transported horizontally or stored in cold (below +41°F), let it stand upright for at least one hour before plugging in.

How do I set the temperature on my wine cooler?

Turn the thermostat knob from 0 (off) to 7 (coldest). We recommend starting at position 4. Adjust as needed to achieve your desired wine storage temperature.

Why are the sidewalls of my wine cooler warm?

This is normal. The appliance uses a skin condenser that dissipates heat through the sidewalls. Slight heating is expected during operation.

How do I clean the wine cooler?

Switch off and unplug the appliance. Use a mild unscented detergent for the interior. Remove the top panel and skirting board for thorough cleaning. Regularly brush or vacuum the wire condenser and compressor at the back.

Can I reverse the door hinge?

Yes, the door hinge is reversible. Follow the step-by-step instructions in the manual: dismantle top and middle hinges, move handle and lock, and reattach hinges on the opposite side.

What does the green indicator light mean?

The green light indicates that the appliance is connected to the electricity supply and powered on.

My wine cooler is not cooling properly. What should I check?

Verify the plug is properly inserted, the fuse is intact, and power is not cut off. Ensure the thermostat is set correctly. Switch off for 15 minutes, then restart and check for frost on the evaporator after 5 minutes.

Is it safe to use extension cords?

No, extension cords are not recommended. The appliance must be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle.

How do I dispose of my old wine cooler?

Follow local environmental regulations. Contact your local authority or waste disposal service for proper recycling and disposal to avoid environmental harm.

What should I do if the appliance is left unused for more than two days?

Switch off the unit and leave the doors open for ventilation to prevent bad odors.

This appliance is only for indoor use.

On receipt, check to ensure that the appliance has not been damaged during transport. Transport damage should be reported to the local distributor before the appliance is put to use.

Wash the cabinet and inner lining with a mild unscented detergent and wipe it dry. Do not use abrasive scouring powder, steel wool or similar.

Before operating your new appliance, please read the following instructions carefully as they contain important information on safety, installation, operation and maintenance. Keep the instructions for future reference.

If during transport the appliance has been laid down, or if it has been stored in cold surroundings (colder than +41°F), it must be allowed to stabilise in an upright position for at least an hour before being switched on.

Maintenance

Switch off the appliance and pull out the plug when cleaning the cabinet.

Only use an unscented detergent when cleaning the cabinet inside.

You may remove the top panel and wash it when cleaning the cabinet inside.

The skirting board can be removed to facilitate a vacuum-cleaning of the floor.

To make the cooling system work at its optimum it is necessary from time to time

to clean the wire condensator and the compressor at the back of the cabinet by means of a brush or a vacuum cleaner. Remember to clean the drain.

Defrosting

The evaporator is automatically defrost. The defrosted water is led to a tray on top of the compressor where it evaporates.

Warning.

In case this appliance contains hydrocarbon refrigerant, please refer to the guidelines listed below.

As the appliance contains a flammable refrigerant, it is essential to ensure that the refrigerant pipes are not damaged.

Standard EN378 specifies that the room in which you install your appliance must have a volume of 1 m³ per 8 g of hydrocarbon refrigerant used in the appliance. This is to avoid the formation of flammable gas/air mixtures in the room where the appliance is located in the event of a leak in the refrigerant circuit. The quantity of refrigerant used in your appliance is indicated on the rating plate.

WARNING: Keep ventilation openings in the appliance's cabinet or in the built-in structure clear of obstruction.

WARNING: Do not use other mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process than those recommended by the manufacturer.

WARNING: Do not damage the refrigerant system.

WARNING: Do not use electrical appliances inside the refrigerated storage compartment, unless they are of a type recommended by the manufacturer.

WARNING: Do not expose the appliance to rain.

• Relevant for Australia: Supply cord fitted with a plug complies with AS/NZS 3112.
• Frost formation on the interior evaporator wall and upper parts is a natural phenomenon. Therefore, the appliance should be defrosted during normal cleaning or maintenance.

Installation.

See drawings - page A and B.

Install the cabinet in a dry place and so that it is not exposed to direct sunlight or any other source of heat.

Place the cabinet in a level position. This is easily achieved by adjusting the adjustable feet at the front edge of the base.

The cabinet may not rest against a wall on its hinged side. When placing the cabinet on a carpet or on a wooden floor you should adjust it once more after some time as the cabinet might settle in soft foundations.

If you want to build the appliance into a cupboard you must consider 3 factors:

1. There must be space above the appliance in order to make the cooling system work satisfactorily.
2. When the door is opened the appliance takes up more room in the width and therefore the door must either be placed outside the cupboard or there must be a space of at least 0.6 inch at the hinge side.
3. The distance to the wall at the hinge side must be of a sufficient size.

Furthermore it is possible to build together two appliances. If one of these is a wine cabinet please observe a min. distance of 25mm between the cabinets in order to keep cooling performance intact.

It is safest to place the earthed wall socket above the appliance and at least 79 inches above the floor. Any local installation rules for appliances of this kind must be observed.

Electrical connection.

The technical marking of the appliance can be seen from the rating plate.

Important: Wiring and connections in power supply systems must meet all applicable (local and national) electrical codes. Consult these codes for lengths and sizes prior to cabinet installation.

Power supply: According to UL 471, this equipment is intended for connection to a maximum 15 ampere, 120 volt, single-phase branch circuit.

Maximum fuse size: 10 amps.

This appliance is equipped with a three-prong (ANSI type 5-15P grounded) plug for your protection against shock hazards. The appliance should be plugged into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle.

Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the round grounding prong from the appliance plug.

Do not under any circumstances use extension cords.

Control panel.

1. Lamp.
2. Thermostat knob.
3. Indicator for the connection to the electricity supply (green).

The thermostat knob is adjustable from 0 (stop) to 7 (coldest). Find the position of the thermostat which gives you the desired temperature. Start at position 4.

Has the appliance stopped working?

Before calling a repairman, check that

• The plug is properly plugged into the wall socket.
• The fuse is intact. • The power has not been cut off.
• All controls are correctly set.
• Switch off the cabinet for 15 minutes (for instance at the thermostat). Switch it on again and after 5 minutes check whether frost has formed on the evaporator.
• Do not open the cabinet unnecessarily.

General advice.

If the unit is not used for more than two days it should be switched off and the doors should be left open for ventilation to prevent a bad smell in the unit.

The appliance is equipped with a high quality skin condenser. Therefore, a slight heating of the sidewalls is quite normal.

Lighting

This appliance is equipped with a device which causes the light to switch off if the door is open / left on for abnormally long time.

When the door has been closed for a couple of minutes, the device is cut off and the light switches back on.
