Frequently Asked Questions - RVI 20041 GBK TEKA

How do I adjust the temperature of my Teka RVI 20041 GBK wine cellar?

Use the '+' and '⊖' buttons to adjust the temperature. The upper zone ranges from 5 °C to 10 °C, the lower zone from 10 °C to 18 °C. Each press changes the temperature in steps of 1 °C. To display the actual temperature, press and hold the corresponding button for 3 seconds.

How do I reverse the door opening direction?

The door is reversible. To switch from left opening (standard) to right, follow these steps: open the door to 90°, remove the upper hinge, door switch, locating plate, then the lower hinge. Reinstall the parts on the opposite side according to the diagram provided in the manual. The operation requires moving the appliance and tilting it at 45°.

What should I do if the wine cellar does not cool sufficiently?

First check the temperature setting. Make sure the door is properly closed and the gasket is clean. Frequent door opening or high ambient temperature can affect cooling. If the problem persists, consult the troubleshooting guide in the manual.

How do I clean the interior of the wine cellar?

Unplug the appliance, remove bottles and shelves. Clean interior surfaces with a soft cloth dampened with warm water and a mild detergent. Rinse and dry. Do not use abrasive products or solvents. Shelves are cleaned separately with a mild detergent solution.

The wine cellar makes a clicking noise, is this normal?

Yes, clicking or gurgling sounds are normal. They come from the circulation of the refrigerant and the contraction/expansion of walls. If the noise becomes excessive, check that the appliance is level and not in contact with furniture.

How do I use the continuous LED lighting?

Press and hold the '☐' button for 5 seconds. The display shows 'LP' and the light stays on until manually turned off. To return to automatic mode (light turns off 10 minutes after door closing), repeat the operation until you see 'LF'.

What is the bottle capacity of the Teka RVI 20041 GBK wine cellar?

The manual does not specify the exact capacity. However, for a model in this range, the capacity is generally around 20 to 25 bottles. Refer to the product datasheet for more accuracy.

What to do in case of a power outage?

If the outage is short (a few hours), avoid opening the door to maintain temperature. The appliance remembers previous settings and restores them automatically. For a prolonged outage, take measures to protect the bottles (transfer to another cellar).

How do I defrost the wine cellar?

Defrosting is manual. Turn off the appliance and unplug it. Leave the door open to let the ice melt naturally. Wipe up water with a cloth. Never use mechanical devices or chemical products to speed up defrosting.

Where can I find spare parts for my model?

Spare parts such as thermostats, sensors, PCBs, and bulbs are available for at least 7 years after the last market placement of the model. Door gaskets are available for 10 years. Contact Teka customer service or an authorized dealer.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Before Using Your Wine Cooler

• Remove the exterior and interior packing.
• Before connecting the wine cooler to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 2 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.
• Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
• When disposing of your appliance, please choose an authorized disposal site.

Installation of Your Wine Cooler

• This appliance is designed to be built in (fully recessed) (refer to sticker on the back of this appliance). This appliance is intended to be used exclusively for the storage of wine.
• Place your wine cooler on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded.
• This appliance uses flammable refrigerant. Never damage the cooling pipework during transportation. Locate the wine cooler away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the unit not to perform properly.
• Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.
• Plug the wine cooler into an exclusive, properly installed, grounded wall outlet. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed to a certified electrician or an authorized Products service center.
