Frequently Asked Questions - VT-12 BIZONE FAGOR

How to adjust the temperature of each zone?

Press the selection button (1) until the temperature of the desired zone flashes. Use the ▲ (3) key to increase or ▼ (4) to decrease the temperature. The display stops flashing after a few seconds. The new temperature is displayed after about two hours, once the appliance has reached the set point.

Why is my wine cellar not cooling enough?

Check that the appliance is not too close to a heat source, that ventilation is sufficient (5 cm clearance on the sides and 10 cm at the back), and that the door is properly closed without prolonged opening. The ambient temperature must not exceed 32 °C. If the problem persists, contact support.

What is the ideal temperature for red wine and white wine?

For red wine, the recommended temperature is 14 to 16 °C. For white wine, it is 10 to 12 °C. The lower zone (8-18 °C) is better suited for white wines, and the upper zone (12-18 °C) for reds.

How to properly install the appliance?

Place the appliance on a smooth, horizontal and stable surface, away from heat sources and humidity. Leave a minimum space of 5 cm on the sides and 10 cm at the back for good air circulation. Plug it into a grounded outlet.

What to do if the lighting does not work?

Check that the appliance is plugged in and the door is properly closed. Press the lighting key (6) to turn on/off. If the lighting does not come on, the bulb may be defective. Contact technical support for replacement.

Can I store beverages other than wine?

The appliance is designed for wine storage. It can be used for other beverages, but the temperature ranges (8-18 °C) are optimized for wine. Avoid storing perishable foods that require lower temperatures (below 8 °C).

How to clean the interior of the cellar?

Unplug the appliance before any cleaning. Use a soft cloth and warm soapy water. Do not use abrasive products, solvents or harsh cleaners. Dry thoroughly before plugging back in.

The appliance is making noise, is this normal?

A slight operational noise (compressor, fan, refrigerant circulation) is normal. The appliance emits about 40 dB. If the noise becomes excessive or unusual, check that it is level and not in contact with other objects. Contact technical support if the noise persists.

What to do in case of a power outage?

In case of a power outage, avoid opening the door to maintain the interior temperature. Wine bottles can be preserved for several hours without damage. When power returns, the appliance resumes normal operation. If the outage lasts more than 24 hours, check the temperature and adjust if necessary.

How to defrost the appliance?

Defrosting is manual. Unplug the appliance and remove the bottles. Leave the door open to let the ice melt naturally. Avoid using sharp objects or heating devices to speed up the process. Wipe up accumulated water before plugging back in and replacing the bottles.

3. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Before using this appliance for the first time, read the following instructions carefully and keep them for future reference.
  Make sure that the mains voltage in your home corresponds to that indicated on the appliance.
• In the event of incompatibility between the mains socket and the appliance plug, replace the socket with a suitable one, using a qualified professional.
• The electrical safety of the appliance is only guaranteed if it is connected to an efficient earth installation, as foreseen in applicable electrical safety regulations. If in doubt, contact a qualified professional.
• The use of adaptors, multiple sockets and or extension cables is not recommended. Where it is not possible to avoid their use, only adaptors or extensions that comply with applicable safety regulations should be used, and ensuring that the indicated voltage limit is not exceeded.
  After removing the packaging, check

that the appliance is in perfect condition, if in doubt, contact the nearest Technical Support Service.
- Packaging elements (plastic bags, polystyrene foam, etc.), should not be left within the reach of children because they can be dangerous.

Children should be watched to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
- For greater protection, we recommend installing a residual current device (RCD) with an operational residual current not exceeding 30mA . Ask your installer for advice.
- When removing the plug never pull on the cable.
- Unplug the appliance before cleaning or maintenance.
- In the event of fault or malfunction where the appliance is not to be used, turn off the appliance and do not attempt to repair. If a repair is required, contact a Technical Assistance Service authorised by the manufacturer and request the use of original spare parts.

• Do not use or let any part of the appliance come into contact or near hot surfaces (kitchen gas or electric hobs or ovens).
• Do not use detergents or abrasive sponges to clean the appliance.
• Do not let the cable come into contact with the hot parts of the appliance.
• When installing the appliance, make sure that there is at least 5cm of free space at the sides and 10cm at the rear of the appliance. This will allow for the appropriate amount of ventilation.
• Do not place hot food or drinks in the wine cooler until they have cooled down to room temperature.
• Close the door properly and do not open it too often or for a long period of time, as the wine will not reach the selected temperature.
• Keep the appliance well away from any heat source or direct sunlight.
• Do not place anything on top of the appliance.
• Do not use the appliance outside or in humid conditions.

4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Place the wine cooler on an even, horizontal and stable surface, well away from hot surfaces and humidity.
2. Open the door (7) and place the shelves (8) onto the guides inside the wine cooler. Close the door (7).
3. Plug the wine cooler into a power socket and select the desired temperature (see "Adjusting the temperature" section).
4. Leave the wine cooler empty and in operation for approximately two hours for it to reach the temperature selected.
5. Once the wine cooler has reached the selected temperature, open the door (7) and place the bottles of wine at room temperature on to the shelves (8).

The bottles will reach the temperature selected in approximately 6 hours. This time may vary depending on the number of bottles put in and their temperature.

The wine cooler will automatically set an on-and-off cycle in order to constantly maintain the selected temperature.

Press the light button (6) to turn on the light inside and see what there is in the top zone of the wine cooler. Press the same button again to switch off the light.

Important: Close the door (7) properly and do not open it too often or for a long period of time, as the wine will not reach the selected temperature.

5. ADJUSTING THE TEMPERATURE

Select the top/bottom temperature for the wine cooler by pressing button 1. The temperature will flash, you can now change it. Press the “▲” button (3) to increase the temperature and press the “▼” button (4) to reduce it. To change the temperature in the other top/bottom zone press button 1 again. Finally, the temperature will be confirmed when you stop pressing the buttons (the temperature will stop flashing).

NOTE: The screen will always show the temperature inside the wine cooler, so immediately after increasing/reducing the temperature, the screen will show the temperature inside the wine cooler; two hours later the wine cooler will reach the temperature selected earlier and this will be shown on the screen.

The temperature in the top zone has a range of 12 - 18^ .

The temperature in the bottom zone has a range of 8 - 18^

The unit's cooling system works efficiently with an ambient temperature of 25^ or less.

Advice and recommendations:

The recommended temperature for red wine is 14 - 16^
- The recommended temperature for white wine is 10 - 12^ .

IMPORTANT: The temperature that can be achieved inside the wine cooler is approximately 15^ lower than the ambient temperature. The unit will find it difficult to cool if the ambient temperature is below 10^ or above 32^ . The temperature

obtained inside the wine cabinet may vary by approximately 1^ depending on the ambient temperature, the humidity, the number of bottles in the cabinet and the temperature of the bottles.
