Frequently Asked Questions - AWR460DB NewAir

How to adjust the temperature of the upper and lower zones?

How to reverse the door of the wine cooler?

Door reversal requires the help of another person. Unscrew the top hinge, remove the door, then move the bottom hinge to the other side. Reverse the door and attach the top hinge. Make sure the door is properly aligned.

What is the bottle capacity of this model?

This model AWR460DB can store up to 46 standard wine bottles.

How to clean the interior of the wine cooler?

Unplug the appliance and remove all contents. Clean the interior with a solution of warm water and baking soda (2 tablespoons per liter of water). Rinse the water reservoir at the bottom of the appliance by removing the screws. For the exterior, use a soft cloth with a mild detergent.

Why is the wine cooler temperature not cold enough?

Possible causes include: ambient temperature too high, frequent door opening, faulty door seal, or blockage of the front grille. Lower the set temperature, reduce openings, check the seal and ensure nothing blocks ventilation.

How to use the provided humidity tray?

Fill the tray halfway with water and place it on the middle shelf, horizontally and at the back. This helps maintain humidity between 60% and 75%, preventing cork drying. Refill when it is a quarter empty.

What to do if the LED light does not work?

If the light does not turn on, first check the light button on the panel. If it still does not light up, there may be an issue with the display panel. Contact the manufacturer for assistance.

Can I install the wine cooler built-in?

SAFETY INFORMATION & WARNINGS

Warning symbol: white exclamation mark inside a triangle (no text or numbers)

When using any electrical appliance, basic safety precautions must be followed in order to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock and/or injury to persons or property. Be sure to read all instructions before using this appliance and observe the following safety tips:

Attention: To avoid the risk of child entrapment, do not allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the unit. If the unit will not be used for an extended period of time, remove the door and leave the shelves in place so that children cannot crawl inside. Also remove the door when disposing of the unit.

Shock Hazard – Electrical Grounding Required

• Never attempt to repair or perform maintenance on the unit until the electricity has been disconnected.
• Never remove the round grounding prong from the plug and never use a two-prong grounding adaptor.
• Altering or cutting of power cord, removal of power cord, removal of power plug, or direct wiring can cause serious injury, fire, and loss of property and/or life, and will void the warranty.
• Never use an extension cord to connect power to the unit.
• Avoid operating this wine cooler in excessively moist or humid environments.

Important Precautions:

• Do not lift unit by door handle.
• Never install or operate the unit inside cabinets or without proper clearances.
• Failure to clean the condenser every six months can cause the unit to malfunction.
• Allow unit temperature to stabilize for 24 hours before use.

- Do not block any internal fans.

- Keep the wine cooler away from hazardous materials or combustible/flammable substances.

- Use only genuine supplier's replacement parts. Imitation parts can damage the unit, affect its operation or performance, and may void the warranty.

ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION

HANDLE ASSEMBLY

Tools Required for Assembly: Phillips screwdriver (not included)

Estimated Assembly Time: 5 minutes

Before installation, attach the handle to the front of the unit with the included screws. It may be necessary to push aside the rubber seal on the inside of the door to reveal the screw holes.

Caution: Avoid over-tightening the screws, or you may cause damage to the unit.

INSTALLATION

Before connecting the appliance to a power source, let it stand upright for approximately 24 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.

This appliance can either stand alone or be built in. The front grille must be unobstructed.

Before operating your wine cooler for the first time, follow these steps:

• Clean the interior surface of the unit with lukewarm water and a soft cloth.
• Place the cooler on a level surface that will be strong enough to support the unit when it is fully loaded. To level your cooler, adjust the front feet located at the bottom of the unit.
• Install the cooler away from direct sunlight and heat sources such as stoves, heaters, or radiators. Direct sunlight may affect the unit's acrylic coating, and nearby heat sources can increase electrical consumption. Extreme cold or hot ambient temperatures may also prevent proper performance.

REVERSING THE DOOR SWING

The door hinge is on the left side by default. If you wish to reverse the swing so that the door opens from the right, it is important to have at least one other person to help. It is dangerous to try to reverse the door swing by yourself.

1. Unscrew the upper door hinge while the second person supports the door.
2. Remove the upper hinge and carefully lift the door off the bottom hinge.
3. Unscrew the bottom hinge and install it on the left side of the unit.
4. Flip the door around so that the handle is on the right side and slip the door over the bottom hinge.
5. Reattach the door by screwing the top hinge into the holes provided on the upper left surface of the unit. Make adjustments as necessary to be sure the door is aligned properly.

HOW TO USE YOUR MOISTURE TRAY

Your unit comes with a small water tray to help moisturize corks and or wooden shelves so they don't dry out. Fill the tray halfway and place it on the middle shelf— horizontally and towards the back —so moisture is evenly distributed throughout the inside of the cabinet. Refill the tray when it is a quarter of the way empty and exercise caution when removing or restocking bottles so water does not spill out.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

CLEANING YOUR COOLER

To clean your cooler:

• Unplug the cooler and remove anything inside.
- Wash the inside of the unit with a solution made of warm water and baking soda solution (2 tablespoons of baking soda to one quart of water).
- Unscrew the water reservoir at the bottom of the unit and rinse with water.
• To clean the outside of the unit, use a mild detergent and warm water.

MOVING YOUR COOLER

To move your cooler:

• Remove anything stored inside.
• Securely tape down all loose parts located inside the unit.
  • Turn the leveling feet up to the base in order to avoid damage.
• Tape the door shut.

Be sure the cooler stays in an upright position during transportation.

WINE STORAGE GUIDE

• The ideal temperature for storing red or white wines is 55^ F, with humidity between 60% and 75% RH.
• Store corked bottles on their sides, to keep the cork from drying out and allowing air into the bottle.
  • UV rays make wine age faster, so keep bottles out of direct sunlight.
• Avoid heavy vibrations from motors, etc.
• Store wine separately from strong odors that might contaminate the flavor of the wine.

HOW LONG SHOULD I STORE MY WINE?

While most wines today are meant to be drunk “young” (within a few years of production) some fine wines are best served by proper aging. But aging too long can decrease the flavor of the wine. Generally speaking, red wines can age longer than white wines, but here is a storage guide for some popular vintages.

Cabernet Sauvignon.... 7-10 years
Pinot Noir 5 years
Merlot 3-5 years
Zinfandel 2-5 years
Beaujolais.... Drink now
Chardonnay.... 2-3 years
Riesling 3-5 years
Sauvignon Blanc.... 18 months – 2 years
Pinot Gris.... 1-2 years
Champagne.... Ready to drink
