Before use

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. 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 wine cooler is put into use.

Remove the packaging. Clean the inside of the cabinet using warm water with a mild detergent. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly (see cleaning instructions). Use a soft cloth. If the appliance has been laid down during transport, or if it has been stored in cold surroundings (colder than +5^ ), it must stabilise in an upright position for at least one hour before being switched on.

Savings in energy consumption in the use

The energy consumption reduces ..

1)..the lower the ambient temperature is.
2)..the warmer thermostat set point is.
3)..the lower the number and the shorter the length of the door openings is.

Installation and start-up

Placement

For safety and operational reasons, the appliance must not be installed outdoors.

The appliance should be placed on a level surface in a dry, well ventilated room (max. 75% relative air humidity). Never place the appliance close to sources of heat such as cookers or radiators, and avoid placing it in direct sunlight.

Room temperature

The climate class is stated on the rating plate (see page 15).

Note: The appliance operates best at room temperatures between 10^ to 32^ C

LED light

In order to reduce energy consumption, this wine cabinet will automatically switch off the LED lights after 10 minutes.

If you want the LED light to remain on continuously, this is possible. Please press and hold the "LIGHT" button for 5 seconds, the display will show "LP". After 4 seconds, the display will revert to normal and the light will remain on until manually switched off.

If you want to revert and conserve energy (recommended), please press and hold the "LIGHT" button for 5 seconds, the display will show "LF". After 4 seconds, the display will revert to normal, and the light will automatically switch off after 10 minutes.

Installation

The surface on which the appliance is to be placed must be level. Do not use a frame or similar. It is important that the appliance be absolutely level. It can be levelled by screwing the adjustable feet at the front of the appliance up or down (fig. 2).

Use a spirit level to check that the appliance is absolutely level sideways.

VESTFROST W 38 - Installation - 1
fig. 2

Build-in

W32 is only for free-standing, and sufficient free air around the appliance must be ensured. (fig. 4)

The appliances W45 and W38 can be installed as built-in units in kitchen elements or be placed free-standing (fig. 3).

At built-in condition ensure sufficient airflow through the kitchen base in front of the appliance. The total cross section of the opening must be as described in fig. 3, and individual air duct clearance must be at least 5mm .

Along with your new cabinet is a replaceable kick plate which can be fixed with the two screws. These two screws are located in the accessories bag, see figure 2_1

Electronic control

The electronic control ensures that the set temperatures are maintained in the cabinet compartments. This is accomplished by complex control of the refrigerating system, the heating element, and the fan. Following any power failure, the temperature setting is reverted to factory defaults:

Upper compartment: 6^

Lower compartment: 12^

The electronic controls have the following functions:

  • Temperature setting
  • Temperature display
    Automatic defrosting
    High and low temperature alarm
    Light on/off
  • Cabinet on/off (push and hold for 3 secs)

Temperature display

The display shows the actual temperature in the compartments. The temperature display has a built-in filter that simulates the actual temperature in the bottles. The displayed temperature is therefore not affected by transient fluctuations in air temperature.

Temperature setting

The temperature is set by using the two buttons on the control panel. By pushing a temperature button, the display changes from actual temperature to set value. By pushing the button repeatedly, the set value scrolls through the available temperature span.

The temperature in the upper compartment is adjustable from 5 - 10^ . The temperature in the lower compartment is adjustable from 10 - 18^ .

Temperature alarm

If the temperature has deviated 3^ from the chosen set value for at least 1 hour, the display flashes and Lo / actual respectively Hi / actual temperature are alternately shown.

It is recommended that wine be served at a temperature which is a couple of degrees lower than the desired drinking temperature as the wine will be warmed slightly when it is poured into the glass.

Electronic control

The electronic control ensures that the set temperatures are maintained in the cabinet compartments. This is accomplished by complex control of the refrigerating system, the heating element, and the fan. Following any power failure, the temperature setting is reverted to factory defaults: Left compartment: 7^ Right compartment: 12^

The electronic controls have the following functions:

  • Temperature setting
  • Temperature display
    Automatic defrosting
    High and low temperature alarm
    Light on/off
  • Cabinet on/off (push and hold for 3 secs)

Temperature display

The display shows the actual temperature in the compartments. The temperature display has a built-in filter that simulates the actual temperature in the bottles. The displayed temperature is therefore not affected by transient fluctuations in air temperature.

Temperature setting

The temperature is set using the two buttons on the control panel. When pushing a temperature button, the display changes from actual temperature to set value. After this, it is possible to change the set value. Up = temperature up Down = temperature down

The temperature in both compartments is adjustable from 5-18 degree Celcius.

The new set value is automatically stored after 5 seconds of inactivity and the display switches back and shows the actual temperature again.

Temperature alarm

If the temperature has deviated 3^ from the chosen set value for at least 1 hour, the display flashes and Lo / actual respectively Hi / actual temperature are alternately shown.

It is recommended that wine be served at a temperature which is a couple of degrees lower than the desired drinking temperature as the wine will be warmed slightly when it is poured into the glass.

Defrosting, cleaning, and maintenance

Automatic defrosting

The wine cooler is defrosted automatically. Defrost water runs through a pipe and is collected in a tray above the compressor where the heat generated by the compressor causes it to evaporate.

Cleaning

Before cleaning the appliance, unplug it from the main supply. The cabinet is best cleaned using warm water (max. 65^ ) with a little mild detergent. Never use cleaning agents that scour. Use a soft cloth. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly. Never use sharp or pointed implements. Avoid unnecessary cleaning of the wooden shelves, as these are made of untreated natural material. Cleaning agents may discolour the shelves.

The sealing strip around the door must be cleaned regularly to prevent discolouration and prolong service life. Use clean water. After cleaning the sealing strip, check that it continues to provide a tight seal.

Dust collecting on the condenser underneath the cabinet, on the compressor and in the compressor compartment is best removed using a vacuum cleaner.

Replacing the lighting

Light-emitting diodes designed to last the entire service life of the appliance are used. If it, however, becomes necessary to replace the light source, please call for service.

Removing the shelves

Push the shelf all the way back and tip it. It is now possible to remove the shelf.
