Electrical connection

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

This device complies with relevant EU directives including Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU and Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 2014/30/EU

The socket should be freely accessible.

Connect the appliance only to 220/240 V / 50Hz alternating current via a correctly installed earthed socket.

The socket must be fused with a 10-13 A fuse.

If the appliance is to be operated in a non-European country, check on the rating plate whether the indicated voltage and current type correspond to the values of your mains supply.

Information regarding voltage, current or power are given on the rating plate

The power cord may be replaced by a technician only.

The rating plate provides various technical information as well as type and serial number.

Installation and start-up

Placement

For safety and operational reasons, the appliance shall not be exposed to rain.

The appliance should be placed on a level surface in a dry, well ventilated room (max. 70% relative air humidity). Never place the appliance close to sources of heat and avoid placing it in direct sunlight.

The surface on which the appliance is to be placed must be level. Do not use a frame or similar.

The appliance can be installed as a freestanding unit against a wall or side-by-side with other appliances (see fig. 4)

Room temperature

The climate class is stated on the name plate (see fig. 1). This specifies the optimum room temperature.

Note that the appliance operates best at room temperatures from 10^ to 32^ .

Installation of ventilation guard

Close the two ventilationguards placed on the rear of the appliance, to ensure sufficient air circulation

fig. 2

Ventilation

It is important that the appliance be well ventilated and that air can circulate unhindered above, below and around it. Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction. The figures below illustrate the clearance necessary to achieve the required air circulation.

OBS: There must be at least 30mm between the cabinet and the wall behind it.

fig. 3

Side by side

In side-by-side arrangement, there must be at least 25mm between and at the sides of the cabinets, so the doors can be opened freely

fig.4

Control panel

Connect the appliance to the socket outlet. A green light indicates that the appliance has been switched on.

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

OBS:

Please note the inside temperatures can get low by high ambient temperatures. To avoid damage to the stored wine bottles, please adjust thermostat setting to get your target inside temperature!

Reversing the door

If reversing the door with the unit in normal position, then it is recommended to be two people.

Else the unit can be placed on its back on the floor. If this method is used the unit must be

placed in normal upright position at least two hours before connecting to power.

Left door hinge is optional. (See p.18)

1. Disconnect the power supply Loosen the two screws in the top panel. Pull out carefully the top panel.

1. Unscrew the two screws in the lower panel.

1. Remove the cover by using suitable tool and a hammer

1. Remove the lower panel by use of a suitable tool. Place the lower panel in front of the unit without pulling in the wires

1. Unscrew the bracket in the top. NOTE: The door is now loose! Be careful that the door does not fall down!

1. Remome the bush and door closer by use of a pincher. Place the bush in the opposite side of the door. Do not place the door closer yet.

2. Lift up the door. Place the door pin in the opposite side of the cabinet.

3. Rotate the door 180 degrees. Place the door, with the front facing down, on a soft surface.

1. Lift up the sliding part and move it to the opposite side

1. Unscrew the locking pin. Pull the lock out. Refit both parts on the opposite side.

1. Mount the door on the top of the door pin and at the same time draw the wires gently down so that it are not pinched. Press the door completely down over the door pin!

2. Put the door closer back in the door in the opposite side.

The door closer must be positioned as shown in the picture.

If the unit has been laid down, it must stand upright for at least 2 hours before reconnecting to power.

Fault finding

Fault Possible cause	Remedy
The unit does not work	The appliance is switched off.	Press the on/off switch.
	Power failure; the fuse is blown; the appliance is not plugged in correctly.	Check that power is connected. Reset the fuse.
Water collects in the bottom of the cabinet.	The defrost water pipe is blocked.	Clean the defrost water channel and the drain hole on the rear wall of the cabinet.
Vibration or bothersome noise.	The appliance is not level. The appliance is resting against other kitchen elements.	Level the appliance using a spirit level.
	Containers or bottles inside the cabinet are rattling against one another.	Move the appliance away from the kitchen elements or appliances it is in contact with. Move containers and/or bottles apart.
Compressor runs continuously.	High room temperature. Ensure adequate ventilation.

Defrosting, cleaning and maintenance

Automatic defrosting.

The unit 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. The defrost water tray should be cleaned at intervals.

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.

The defrost water channel, in which condensation from the evaporator runs, is located at the bottom of the rear inside wall of the cabinet and must be kept clean. Add a few drops of disinfectant, e.g. Rodalon, to the defrost water drain a couple of times a year, and clean the drain using a pipe cleaner or similar. Never use sharp or pointed implements.

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 on the rear of the cabinet, the compressor and in the compressor compartment is best removed using a vacuum cleaner.
