Frequently Asked Questions - WFG 32 VESTFROST

How do I adjust the temperature of my Vestfrost WFG 32 wine cellar?

Use the two buttons on the control panel. Press the button for the desired compartment to scroll through the set temperature. The upper compartment can be set between 5 and 10 °C, the lower compartment between 10 and 18 °C.

What does the flashing temperature alarm mean?

The screen flashes and alternately displays Lo or Hi with the actual temperature if the deviation from the set value exceeds 3 °C for more than one hour. Check the ambient temperature, ventilation, and that the door is properly closed.

Can I leave the LED light on permanently?

Yes. Press and hold the LIGHT button for 5 seconds until the screen displays LP. The light will stay on until manually turned off. To return to automatic mode (shut-off after 10 min), repeat the procedure until LF appears.

How do I reverse the door opening direction of the WFG 32?

Unplug the appliance and lay it on its back. Follow the steps in the manual: remove the door, change the hinges and door pivot from right to left. Refer to figures 7.1 to 7.4 for details. Always support the door during the operation.

How do I clean my Vestfrost wine cellar?

Unplug the appliance. Use a soft cloth soaked in hot water (max 65 °C) with a little mild detergent. Rinse with clean water and dry. Never use abrasive products or sharp objects. Wooden shelves should not be cleaned with products that may discolor them.

Is defrost automatic?

Yes, defrost is automatic. The defrost water drains through a tube into a tray above the compressor where it evaporates. If water accumulates at the bottom, check that the drainage tube is not blocked.

What safety precautions should be followed?

The appliance contains a flammable refrigerant. Do not damage the refrigeration circuit, do not use electrical appliances inside, keep ventilation openings clear, and do not store flammable aerosols. Repairs must be carried out by a qualified professional.

Why is my appliance vibrating or making noise?

Check that the appliance is level (use a spirit level and adjust the adjustable feet). Make sure it is not touching other furniture. Separate bottles or shelves that may knock against each other.

What to do if the appliance does not work?

Check that it is plugged in and that the fuse/circuit breaker has not tripped. Press the on/off switch. If the problem persists, refer to the 'Troubleshooting' section of the manual.

How can I save energy with my wine cellar?

Place the appliance in a cool room (low ambient temperature), set the thermostat to a higher temperature, limit door opening, and use automatic lighting mode (shut-off after 10 min) instead of continuous mode.

Installation and start-up

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

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.

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.

fig. 2

WFG32 is only for free-standing, and sufficient free air around the appliance must be ensured. (fig. 4)

The appliances WFG45 can be installed as built-in units in kitchen elements or be placed free-standing (fig. 5).

At built-in condition ensure sufficient airflow through the kitchen base in front of the appliance.

WFG45: 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. Hingeside requires a 5 mm space.

NOTE: The kick plate should not be installed if the unit is installed behind a kitchen shelf.

Operation and function

fig. 6

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, and the fan. Following any power failure, the temperature setting is reverted to factory defaults:

Upper compartment: 6°C

Lower compartment: 12°C

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 seconds)

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 to 10°C. The temperature in the lower compartment is adjustable from 10 to 18°C.

Temperature alarm

If the temperature has deviated 3°C 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.

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.

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°C) 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.
