Frequently Asked Questions - Barbecue Cooler L CASO

How to adjust the temperature of my Caso Barbecue Cooler L wine cooler?

Use the rotary knob thermostat located inside. Turn it clockwise to cool further, counterclockwise for a higher temperature. Let the appliance stabilize for 24 hours after plugging in.

Why is my appliance making noise?

Gurgling or compressor noises are normal. If vibrations are excessive, check that the appliance is level (adjust the front feet) and that it does not touch the wall. Ensure the racks are properly in place.

How to clean the interior of the wine cooler?

Unplug the appliance and remove bottles. Clean with a soft cloth soaked in warm water and mild detergent. To avoid odors, use a mixture of warm water and baking soda (2 teaspoons per 0.25 L of water). Wipe carefully.

What to do if condensation forms inside?

Condensation occurs if the door is open too long or frequently in a humid environment. Limit door openings and ensure it closes tightly. Wipe moisture with a dry cloth.

How to install the door handle?

Before first use, push the rubber door gasket aside to clear the pre-drilled holes. Screw the stainless steel handle using the provided screws. Then reposition the gasket correctly.

Why doesn't the LED light turn on?

Check that the LED light switch is in the on position. If it still does not light, contact customer service. Do not attempt to repair it yourself.

How to manually defrost the appliance?

Turn off and unplug the appliance. Leave the door open so the ice melts. Monitor the water collection tray at the back (bottom right) and empty it if necessary. Then wipe the interior.

What is the maximum bottle capacity?

The total capacity is 63 liters, which allows storing about 20 to 25 standard wine bottles depending on size. Use the three provided metal racks.

Can I use my wine cooler outdoors?

The appliance is designed for sheltered and dry outdoor use. It is protected against splashes (IPX4) but not against direct rain or frost. Install it in a place sheltered from the weather.

What to do if the door does not close properly?
