Frequently Asked Questions - WS50GA HAIER

How to adjust the temperature of the wine cellar?

Press and hold the setting key for about 3 seconds until the display flashes. Use the + or - keys to adjust the temperature between 5 °C and 20 °C. Wait 5 seconds or press the setting key again to confirm. The unit may take some time to reach the temperature.

Why is my wine not cold enough?

Check if the door is opened too often or if warm bottles have just been added. Ensure the door seals are airtight and clean the condenser if needed. You can also lower the temperature setting.

Why is the wine temperature too low?

If the setting is too low, increase the temperature using the keys. Also check that the sensor is not obstructed by bottles.

Why does the wine cellar start too frequently?

This may be normal in hot and humid weather. Check that the door is properly closed and the seals are airtight. Clean the condenser and reduce the door opening frequency.

Why is there humidity inside or outside the cellar?

This is normal in periods of high humidity. Make sure the door is not opened too long and the door seals are in good condition. Check the tightness.

How to clean my wine cellar?

Unplug the unit before cleaning. Prepare a solution of 3-4 teaspoons of baking soda in warm water. Wipe with a soft sponge, rinse with warm water and dry. Do not use abrasive products or ammonia.

How to level the wine cellar?

Use the adjustable feet at the front and rear corners. Turn clockwise to raise, counterclockwise to lower. The door will close better once level.

Can I use an extension cord?

It is best to avoid extension cords. If necessary, use an extension cord with grounded plug and a power rating at least equal to that of the unit.

What to do in case of a power outage?

Unplug the unit during the outage. Once power is restored, plug it back in. Wait for the temperature to stabilize before unnecessarily opening the door.

How to maintain the door seals?

Clean the seals every three months with the same solution as for the interior. Apply a little petroleum jelly to the hinges to maintain their flexibility and ensure a good seal.

Installing Your Wine Cellar

Unpacking Your Wine Cellar

1. Remove all packaging material. This includes the foam base and all adhesive tape holding the wine cellar accessories inside and outside.
2. Inspect and remove any remains of packing, tape or printed materials before powering on the wine cellar.

Leveling Your Wine Cellar

• Your wine cellar has leveling legs located in the front and rear corners. After properly placing your wine cellar in its final position, you can level it.
• The leveling legs can be adjusted by turning them clockwise to raise the wine cellar or counterclockwise to lower it. The door will close easier when the leveling legs are extended.

Proper Air Circulation

• To ensure your wine cellar operates at maximum efficiency, install it in a location with proper air circulation, plumbing, and electrical connections.
• The following clearances are recommended around the wine cellar:

Sides: 2" (50 mm)

Top: 2" (50 mm)

Back: 2" (50 mm)

Do not overfill your wine cellar to ensure proper wine cooling.

Note: If your wine cellar has been tilted for any reason, wait 24 hours before plugging it in.

Electrical Requirements

• Make sure there is a suitable power outlet (220-240V, 15 amps) with proper grounding to power the wine cellar.
• Avoid using three-prong adapters or cutting off the third grounding prong to accommodate a two-prong outlet. This is a dangerous practice as it provides no effective grounding for the wine cellar and may result in a shock hazard.

Installation Limitations

• Do not install your wine cellar in any location not properly insulated or heated, e.g., garage, etc. Your wine cellar was not designed to operate in ambient temperatures below 16°C.
• Select a suitable location for the wine cellar on a hard, even surface away from direct sunlight or heat sources, e.g., radiators, baseboard heaters, cooking appliances, etc. Any floor unevenness should be corrected with the leveling legs located on the front and rear bottom corners of the wine cellar.
• Your wine cellar is designed for free-standing installation only. It is not designed for built-in application.

Use of Extension Cord

- Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only an extension cord that has a plug and an outlet with grounding function. The marked rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.
