Loading The Wine cooler

IMPORTANT: Your appliance is ideally suited to store 0.75 liters Bordeaux style wine bottles. You must make sure that they do not prevent the door from shutting properly.

Always check that you can close the door without it fouling on a wine bottle, before shutting it.
- When loading several bottles of wine at once, it will take longer for the appliance to cool the individual bottles.
- As many bottles may differ in size and dimensions, the actual number of bottles you are able to store may vary. The maximum storage number is based on standard 0.75 litre Bordeaux style wine bottles.

HWCB 15

HWCB 60

Storing Your Wines

The chart below indicates the ideal storage temperatures for different types of wine:

Type of wine	Temperature (Celsius)	Temperature (Fahrenheit)
Red wine (*)	15.5 - 18.5°C	59.9 - 65.3°F
White wine (**)	10 - 15°C	50 - 59°F
Sparkling wines/ Champagne	7.2 - 9.5°C	45 - 49.1°F
Rose wine	9.5 - 10.5°C	49.1 - 50.9°F
Vintage wine	13°C	55°F

• Light red wines, such as Beaujolais, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Franc benefit from being served slightly cooler than full-bodied reds.
  ** Chardonnay is often served too cold. You should chill it at a warmer temperature inside of your Wine Cooler. Or leave it to warm slightly when you remove it from your Wine Cooler.
  o Temperature stability is the most important factor when it comes to storing wine.
• Exposure to light, vibrations or fluctuations in temperature and humidity can all cause wine to spoil. When properly stored, wines not only maintain their quality but many will actually improve in aroma, flavour and complexity as they mature.
• Wines kept at a higher temperature will age faster. Wine that is exposed to temperatures that are greater than 21^ ( 70^ ) will suffer from poorer flavour and aroma.

If wine is kept at too low a temperature, this can result in the development of harmful deposits. A humidity of 70% is ideal for keeping corks from shrinking.
○ After a bottle of wine has been opened, the wine comes into contact with air. So it is best to store the remainder of the bottle upright, to minimize the surface area of the wine that is coming into contact with the air.
Once opened, wine will remain in a drinkable condition for two days for delicate whites or three days for rich reds, as long as the bottle as been resealed. You should make sure that the seal is firm by checking the stopper.
o Special stoppers that keep wine sparkling and Champagne bubbling for one or two days after opening, can be bought at most good wine shops.
○ When stored correctly, white wines can keep well for up to two years. Full bodied reds will age well for ten years and dessert wines will age well for up to twenty years.
- When you buy a bottle of wine, you should transfer it to a suitable storage location immediately (if you are not going to store it in your Wine cooler).
o Cheaper bottles of wine will not age as well as more expensive ones.
To make the most of the bouquet and taste of your wine, never fill more than half a glass at a time. It will also help if the shape of your wine glass is appropriate for your wine. The size and shape of your wine glass's bowl will determine the intensity and complexity of the bouquet. The stem should be long enough to allow you to avoid hand contact with the bowl of the glass and should be tulip-shaped or tapered at the top.

Wine Storage Problems

Corking- a tiny percentage of bottled wine (about 1% ) will suffer from this. The cork reacts with the wine and gives it a musty, unpleasant taste. It is the most common wine storage problem and is caused by harmless bacteria growing on the cork. As unfortunate as this is, there is nothing to do but to discard all of the wine in the affected bottle. This is not to be confused with small fragments of cork floating in the wine itself, which will not impair the flavour.

Oxidisation- when wine has been opened and left for longer than a day; it tends to lose its aroma and colour, giving an overall flat taste. The only way to avoid this, it to either drink the wine on the same day it was opened or to use a vacuum device specially designed for removing oxygen from opened wine bottles. If you use such a device, the wine should still be consumed shortly afterwards.

Ullage- this is loss of wine from the bottle by evaporation or leakage. Signs of ullage include wine seeping around the cork, a protruding cork or a stained label. It can happen if the bottle has been allowed to get too warm. The wine may still be drinkable, if the leakage was recent; however, you should be aware that if the wine cools down again, contraction can cause more air to be sucked into the bottle and result in further deterioration.

Slight effervescence in still wine- this isn't really a problem with the way the wine has been stored, but as a result of incomplete malolactic fermentation before the wine was bottled. A good way to get rid of the effervescence is to let the wine breathe. Alternatively you can use a bottle vacuum device, after about five minutes the effervescence will vanish.

Sediment- this is not normally a problem, however both red and white wines can produce sediment after a number of months in a bottle. The sediment consists of tartrate crystals and is totally harmless. If anything the building of sediment can be considered a good sign because it means that the wine was not subjected to much (if any) filtering, meaning that the flavours and aromas should be preserved better.

A good way to get around sediment (if it is a problem) is to stand the bottle upright, the day before opening, so that the sediment can settle to the bottom of the bottle.

You can also decant your wine; decanting will "open up" the flavour of both young and old wines, but younger wines in particular. To decant, pour the wine slowly and evenly into your decanter.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING: PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOUR APPLIANCE IS DISCONNECTED FROM YOUR MAINS SUPPLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CLEAN IT.

o Do not clean the appliance by pouring water onto it or spraying water over it.

The interior of the Wine cooler should be cleaned periodically, using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water.

Clean the accessories separately with soap and water. Do not clean them in a dishwasher.

o Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps.

After washing the appliance, wipe over the area that you have cleaned with a damp cloth and then dry it thoroughly.

• When cleaning is complete, dry your hands and then reconnect the plug to your mains supply.

Removing The Shelves For Cleaning

Before removing a Shelf from the appliance, it is necessary to remove all the bottles on the Shelf.

HWCB 15, HWCB 30, HWCB 45, HWCB 60D

○ Move the shelf to the position where the notch of the wooden shelf is directly under the plastic stopper and lift the wooden shelf. Please ensure these are replaced when the shelf is put back.

• Make sure the shelves are fully engaged before loading any bottle into the cabinet. Pull the shelves out all the way to the STOPPER position and push them back in several times to make sure the shelves are properly engaged.

A. Notch
B. Plastic Stopper

HWCB 45

• Pull out the shelf fully and lift the shelf to remove the shelf.
  To put the shelf back, please ensure the 2 stopper are exactly inserted into the stopper holes underneath the shelf.

Carbon Filter Change

A good ambient air quality is important for wine maturing. The Carbon Filter is very helpful to absorb odor and improve air quality. For the models with Carbon Filter, we suggest to replace it once a year. Pls(contact your dealer to get the filter.

Removing the Carbon Filter:

• Hold the Carbon Filter and turn it 90^ to the left or right to Remove it;

Reinstalling the Carbon Filter:

Hold the Carbon Filter and turn it 90^ to the left or right until it clicks into place.

Defrosting

Defrosting occurs automatically inside of the Wine cooler during operation. The defrost water is collected by the evaporating tray and evaporates automatically.
The evaporating tray and defrost water drain hole should be cleaned periodically. This will prevent water from collecting in the bottom of the Wine cooler, instead of flowing down the defrost drainage channel and drain hole.
○ You can also pour a small amount of water down the drain hole to clean inside of it.
- You should be careful to make sure that wine bottles do not touch the rear wall of the appliance, as this can interrupt the automatic defrosting process and deflect water into the base of your Wine cooler.

Moving Your Wine Cooler

If you need to move your Wine Cooler to another location you should follow the steps outlined below.

o Remove all items from the Wine Cooler.
o Securely tape down all loose items such as the shelves inside of the appliance.
Turn the adjustable foot up to the base to avoid damage.
o Tape the door closed.
○ Ensure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation. Also protect the outside of the appliance with a blanket or similar item.

Power Failure

• If power is cut to the appliance, for a few hours it will be able to maintain the temperature inside the cabinet. Providing that the number of times that the door is opened is kept to a minimum.
  If the power cut is for longer than a few hours, then you will need to store the contents in an alternate location to prevent them being affected by temperature rise.

IMPORTANT: If the appliance is unplugged, the power is lost or turned off you must wait 5 minutes before restarting the Wine Cooler. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the compressor could be damaged.

Vacation Time

Short vacations: Leave the Wine cooler in operation for holidays of less than 3 weeks.

Long vacations:

If your appliance is not going to be in use for a period of time, you should remove the bottles of wine and switch off the appliance
The interior should be cleaned with a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water.
The interior should then be thoroughly dried.
To prevent mould growth, the door should be left slightly ajar.

Disconnecting From Power

If the unit is unplugged, or there is a power cut, you must wait for 5 minutes before restarting. Attempting to restart the Wine cooler before 5 minutes has elapsed, may cause it not to function.

The appliance is equipped with adjustable feet, so that the height may be adjusted to level the cabinet on uneven floor surfaces.
We recommend that two people carry out this procedure.
- The height must be adjusted prior to building the appliance into the housing unit and it should be set at such a height that the top panel of the appliance fits exactly below the kitchen worktop.

• Tilt the appliance approximately 60^ to allow access to the adjustable feet.
  Take care to ensure the cabinet is supported at all times

Twist the foot into a suitable position to level the cabinet

Repeat these steps for the other adjustable feet.

IMPORTANT: If the appliance is not level, then the door and door seal may be affected.

IMPORTANT: Do not move the appliance when the feet are adjusted high.

Installing The Handle

○ Remove the door gasket on the inside of the door to expose the two screw holes.
- Install the handle using the screws and washers provided.
Replace the door gasket.

Reversing The Door Of Your Wine Cooler

This appliance has the capability of the door opening from either the left or right hand side.

Any parts that you remove from the appliance whilst reversing the door, should be retained for later use.

HWCB 45

• Unscrew the 4 screws from the upper hinge and bottom hinge of door. Remove the door and place it on a soft surface carefully.

• Unscrew the 3 screws from Top Bracket, move the bracket to the right end and screw the 3 crews.

• Rotate the door 180^ (upside down).

• Screw the 4 screws of the upper hinge and bottom hinge tightly to fix the door in place.

HWCB 15, HWCB 30, HWCB 60, HWCB 60D

• Open the glass door and remove the two screws from Pivot Hinge under the right bottom corner of the glass door.
  o Be careful to support the glass door with both hands to prevent it dropping after removing the screws.

o Pull down to remove the glass door and place it on a padded surface to prevent scratching it.

○ Remove the right top hinge and right lower hinge.

Right Lower Hinge

Plastic Caps

o Pull out the 6 Plastic Caps at the front left corner of the cabinet. And move them all to the right side.

Left Top Hinge

Left Lower Hinge

Take the left top hinge and left lower hinge from the plastic bag that contained this manual then install them in the designated positions on the left side of the cabinet.

Turn the glass door around 180^ and reinstall it.

Insert the Pivot Hinge into the Left Lower Hinge hole of the door.

• Install the door to the left hinge side by tightening the Support Rod with the 2 screws.

IMPORTANT: Check that the door opens and shuts correctly, without fouling, after you have completed the door reversal process.

After the door has been reversed, you should check the door seal of the Wine Coolers. The seal should not be creased or crushed; otherwise there will be a gap between it and the inside of the door.

The seal must adhere properly all the way around the door.

If the seal is not adhering to the cabinet properly, then you should either:-

a) Use a warm damp cloth and manipulate the seal until it does adhere to the cabinet properly, all the way around the door.

or

b) Use a hair dryer on its lowest heat setting and lightly heat the areas of the door seal that are not adhering correctly. The heat will make the seal more pliable and this will allow you to manipulate the seal into the correct position.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT HEAT THE DOOR SEAL ON ANYTHING BUT THE LOWEST HEAT SETTING, OR HEAT THE SEAL FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. OTHERWISE DAMAGE MAY BE CAUSED TO THE DOOR SEAL, WHICH WOULD NOT BE RECTIFIED UNDER THE GUARANTEE FREE OF CHARGE.

IMPORTANT: WHEN YOU HAVE REVERSED THE DOOR OF THE APPLIANCE, IF YOU HAVE PLACED THE APPLIANCE ON ITS BACK, YOU MUST WAIT FOR 8 HOURS BEFORE SWITCHING THE APPLIANCE BACK ON.

TROUBLESHOOTING

IMPORTANT: If your Wine cooler appears not to be operating properly, before contacting the Customer Care Department, please refer to the checklist below.

No.	PROBLEM	POSSIBLE CAUSE
1	The Wine cooler does not operate	Not plugged in. The appliance is turned off. The circuit breaker tripped or a blown fuse.
2	The Wine cooler is not cold enough	Check the temperature control setting. External environment may require a higher setting. The door is opened too frequently. The door is not closed completely. The door gasket does not seal properly.
3	Automatically turn-on and turn-off frequently	The room temperature is hotter than normal. A large amount of contents has been added to the Wine Cooler. The door is opened too frequently. The door is not closed completely. The temperature control is not set correctly. The door gasket does not seal properly.
4	The lighting does not work	Not plugged in. The circuit breaker tripped or a blown fuse. The lighting is turned off.
5	Too much vibration	Check to assure that the appliance is level. Check to assure no parts inside the cabinet or in the compressor chamber are loose.
6	The Wine cooler seems to make too much noise	The rattling noise may come from the flow of the refrigerant, which is normal. As each cycle ends, you may hear gurgling sounds caused by the flow of refrigerant. Contraction and expansion of the inside walls may cause popping and crackling noises. The appliance is not level.
7	The door will not close properly.	The Wine cooler is not level. The door was reversed and not properly installed. The gasket is dirty. The shelves are out of position.
8	The display window is shown with “HH” or “LL” instead of a digital figure, and/or with continuous beep sound.	The temperature probe is out of order.
