Frequently Asked Questions - CAVA16SM CAVAVIN

How to adjust the temperature of the wine cellar?

To adjust the temperature, press the SET buttons (A) and (B) simultaneously for at least 3 seconds to unlock the control panel. Then, use button A to increase the temperature or button B to decrease it. The temperature can be adjusted in increments of 1 °C or 1 °F. Press and hold the SET button for 3 seconds to turn on the appliance.

What to do if the appliance does not cool enough?

First check the temperature setting. Make sure the appliance is placed in an area with ambient temperature between 23 and 26 °C (72-78 °F). Check that the door is properly closed and the gasket is clean. Avoid opening the door too frequently. Leave at least 5 in. (13 cm) clearance at the back and sides for proper air circulation. If the problem persists, contact customer service.

How to clean the interior of the wine cellar?

First unplug the appliance and remove all bottles and shelves. Clean interior surfaces with a soft cloth dampened with warm water mixed with baking soda (2 tablespoons per liter of water). For shelves, use a mild detergent. Wring the cloth well before cleaning the control panel or electrical components. Rinse with clean water and dry with a clean cloth.

Why is the interior light not turning on?

The interior light turns off automatically after 10 minutes. To turn it back on, press the light icon. If the light does not turn on at all, check that the appliance is plugged in and the circuit breaker is not tripped. If the problem persists, contact an authorized service center.

How to unlock the control panel?

The control panel locks automatically after 12 minutes of inactivity. To unlock it, press the SET buttons (A) and (B) simultaneously for at least 3 seconds. You will hear a beep confirming the panel is active. After a power outage, the panel remains locked for 5 minutes; after this time the appliance will restart with factory settings.

What type of wine can I store in this cellar?

You can store all types of wine: red (14-18 °C), dry white (9-14 °C), rosé (10-11 °C), and sparkling (5-9 °C). The temperature range of the appliance is 8 to 18 °C (46-64 °F), allowing you to choose the appropriate temperature for each variety. The control panel shows a color corresponding to the wine type (red or white).

How many bottles can the CAVA16SM cellar hold?

This model can hold up to 16 standard bottles of 750 ml Bordeaux type. Actual capacity may vary depending on bottle size and shape. Make sure not to overload the shelves for proper air circulation.

Can I install the wine cellar as built-in?

No, this appliance is designed for freestanding installation and should not be built-in. Place it on a solid surface, away from heat and direct sunlight. Leave at least 5 in. (13 cm) clearance at the back and sides to ensure adequate ventilation and cooling of the heat sink.

What to do in case of a power outage?

Most power outages are brief and do not affect the temperature if you minimize door openings. If the outage lasts a long time, protect the contents by insulating the appliance (e.g., with a blanket). After power is restored, the control panel remains locked for 5 minutes, then the appliance restarts with factory settings. Readjust temperature if necessary.

How to move the wine cellar safely?

Empty the appliance completely. Secure shelves and other movable parts with tape. Close the door and keep it closed with tape. Protect the exterior with a blanket or cloth. Be careful not to damage the power cord during moving.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

> Before Using Your Wine Cellar

• Remove the exterior and interior packing.
• Check to be sure you have all of the following parts:

Model CAVA16SM	Model CAVA28SM
(4) Shelves	(6) Shelves
(2) Instruction Manual	(2) Instruction Manual

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

> Installation of Your Wine Cellar

• This Wine Cellar is designed to be free standing installation only, and should not be recessed or built-in (Fully recessed).
• Place your Wine Cellar on a surface that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded.
• Allow 5 inches of space between the back and sides of the refrigerator, which allows the proper air circulation to cool the heat sink.
• Locate the Wine Cellar away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the unit not to perform properly.
• This Wine Cellar uses superconductor refrigeration technology (no compressor) and is not designed for storage in hot areas like garages, warehouses or outdoors since it is designed to operate at a maximum of 30 degrees below the ambient temperature.
• Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.
• Plug the Wine Cellar into an exclusive, properly installed-grounded wall outlet. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized Cavavin service center.
  After plugging the Wine Cellar into a wall outlet, allow the unit to cool down for 2-3 hours before placing any items in the compartment.

Warning

Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced by an authorized Cavavin service center.

This appliance should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong plug which mates with standard three prong wall outlets to minimize the possibility of electrical shock.

Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord supplied. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.

This appliance requires a standard 115 Volt AC / 60Hz electrical ground outlet with three-prong. Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded. When a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

The cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling to prevent accidental injury.

The appliance should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating label on the appliance. This provides the best performance and also prevent overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from overheated. Never unplug the appliance by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle. Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end. When moving the appliance, be careful not to damage the power cord.

> Extension Cord

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, it is strongly recommended that you do not use an extension cord with this appliance. However, if you must use an extension cord it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL/CUL-Listed, 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 115 volts and at least 10 amperes.

OPERATING YOUR WINE CELLAR

It is recommended you install the Wine Cellar in a place where the ambient temperature is between 23^ - 26^/72^ - 78^ . If the ambient temperature is above or below recommended temperatures, the performance of the unit may be affected.

NOTE:

• When you use the wine Cellar for the first time or restart the wine Cellar after having been shut off for a long time, there could be a few degrees variance between the temperature you select and the one indicated on the LED readout.

• Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution.
• Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning area of the controls, or any electrical parts.
• Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
• Do not use steel wool or steel brush on the stainless steel. These will contaminate the stainless steel with steel particles and rusting may occur.

CAUTION

Failure to unplug the Wine Cellar could result in electrical shock or personal injury.

Power Failure

• Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your appliance if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to be off for a longer period of time, you need to take the proper steps to protect your contents.

> Moving Your Wine Cellar

• Remove all bottles.
• Securely tape down all loose items (shelves) inside your appliance.
• Tape the door shut.
• Protect outside of appliance with a blanket, or similar item.

Energy Saving Tips

• The Wine Cellar should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances, and out of the direct sunlight.
• One characteristic of superconductor units is the length of time it requires to recover from having the door opened and shut frequently. It may be necessary to wait longer for the temperature to return to its former level once the door has been opened for too long. This is normal for this type of unit.
• Superconductor units cost just pennies to operate due to their high efficiency.
