Frequently Asked Questions - CUVEEV105 VEDETTE

How to adjust the temperature of my CUVEEV105 wine cellar?

Use the control panel. Press the Zone Change key to select the desired zone (upper or lower). The LED display flashes. Use the Up or Down keys to adjust the temperature in increments of 1°C or 1°F. After 5 seconds of inactivity, the temperature is saved. The adjustable range is 5°C to 22°C.

What to do if the wine cellar is not cooling enough?

First check the temperature setting. Ensure the appliance is away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Do not open the door too often. If the problem persists, contact after-sales service.

How to lock and unlock the control panel?

The child lock is activated by pressing the Power and Light keys simultaneously for 3 seconds. To unlock, repeat the same operation.

Can I reverse the door opening direction?

Yes, the appliance allows door reversal. Follow the instructions in the manual: disassemble the upper and lower hinges, remove the door, reassemble the hinges on the other side. The handle is attached with screws into the door cavity.

How many bottles can I store in this wine cellar?

Capacity varies by configuration: with 4 wooden shelves, you can store up to 86 bottles of Bordeaux 75cl. If you use only 2 shelves, the capacity increases to 105 bottles.

What do error codes E1, E2, E5, E6 on the display mean?

These codes indicate a temperature sensor failure. E1: upper zone sensor open circuit. E2: upper zone short circuit. E5: lower zone open circuit. E6: lower zone short circuit. Contact after-sales service.

How to clean the interior of the wine cellar?

Unplug the appliance and remove all bottles. Clean the interior with a soft cloth and lukewarm water with a mild detergent. Do not use abrasive products or solvents. Also clean the small water reservoir at the back.

Why is there condensation on the door glass?

Condensation can occur if the door is left open too long or too often, if the ambient temperature is high and humid, or if the set temperature is too low. Limit door opening and adjust the temperature if necessary.

The appliance makes noise, is this normal?

A noise of liquid flowing inside is normal, due to the refrigerant circulating. If the appliance vibrates or makes excessive noise, check that it is level by adjusting the front feet and that it is not too close to the wall.

What to do if the LED lighting no longer works?

First check the power supply. If the lamp is defective, contact after-sales service for replacement. The manual details the removal of the lampshade and replacement of the LED panel for the upper and lower zones.
