This appliance contains the coolant isobutane (R600a), a natural gas which is environmentally friendly. Although it is flammable, it does not damage the ozone layer and does not increase the greenhouse effect. The use of this coolant has, however, led to a slight increase in the noise level of the appliance. In addition to the noise of the compressor, you might be able to hear the coolant flowing around the system. This is unavoidable, and does not have any adverse effect on the performance of the appliance. Care must be taken during the transportation and setting up of the appliance that no parts of the cooling system are damaged. Leaking coolant can damage the eyes.

Select the temperature

Your wine cellar has one single compartment. The temperature can be chosen between 4 °C and 18°C (39 ° and 65 °F). It is recommended to set the temperature in the lower of 12 °C to 18 °C (55-64 °F) range which is ideal for storing red wines and to adjust to between 4 and 12°C (39-55 °F) range suitable for champagnes and white wines.

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 4 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from improper handling during transportation. Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth. (Cleaning instruction on page 9)

Installing Your Wine Cooler

This wine cooler is designed to be free standing only, and should not be recessed or built-in.

Allow 5 cm of space between the back and sides of the wine cooler, which allows the proper air ventilation. Adjust the feet to keep the wine cooler level. 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. Ambient temperature below 5^ C or above 32^ C will hinder the performance of this appliance.

Depending on the location of the appliance, the direction of the door opens can be changed.

This unit is not designed for use in a garage or any other outside installation.

Avoid locating the wine cooler in moist areas.

Plug the wine cooler into dedicated, 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 toward a certified electrician or an authorized service center.

After plugging the wine cooler into a wall outlet, turn the unit on and allow the unit to cool down for 3 \~ 4 hours under before placing wine bottles or beverages in the appliance.

Note: Keep ventilation openings in the appliance enclosure, clear of obstruction.

Description of the product features

1. Control panel

The control panel is located at the top of the appliance, it is very easy to set the temperature of the appliance and see what temperature the appliance is set to.

2. Interior light

The wine cooler has an interior light. The light can be switched on and off by using the light control button.

3. The wine cooler shelve

The shelves are fully adjustable to suit various wine bottle shapes and sizes.

To prevent damaging the door gasket, make sure the door is fully open when pulling shelves out of the rail compartment.

For easy access to the bottles stored, pull the shelves out approximately 1/3. The shelves are designed with an emergency stop to prevent them being removed too far when loaded.

Before switching on

• Make sure that it has been installed by a suitably qualified person, as per the information contained in the installation instructions.
• After delivery, wait for four hours before connecting the appliance to your mains supply. This will allow any refrigerant gasses that may have been disturbed during the transportation process to settle.
• The outside of the appliance and the removable accessories contained within it, should be cleaned with a solution of liquid detergent and water.
• The interior of the appliance should be cleaned with a solution of sodium bicarbonate dissolved in lukewarm water.
• The interior and accessories should be thoroughly dried, after the cleaning process has been completed.
• There can be an odour when you first switch on the appliance. It will lessen as the appliance starts to cool.

During first use

IMPORTANT: When you use the wine cooler for the first time or restart the appliance after it has been turned off for a long time, there could be a few degrees variance between the temperature you select and the one indicated on the LED display. This is normal and it is due to the length of activation time. Once the wine cooler has been running for a few hours everything will be back to normal.

• When you first switch on the appliance, the compressor will run continuously until the wine cooler reaches a cool enough temperature.
• During this period of time, you should try not to open the door frequently or place bottles inside of the appliance.
• If the unit is switched off or unplugged, you must allow at least 5 minutes before restarting the appliance or reconnecting it to your mains supply.

Loading the wine cooler

IMPORTANT: Your appliance is ideally suited to store 0.75 litre Bordeaux style wine bottles. Whilst it can store larger bottles, you must make sure that they do not prevent the door from shutting properly.

• Always check that you can close the door without it fouling on a wine bottle, before shutting it.
• When loading several bottles of wine at once, it will take longer for the appliance to cool the individual bottles.
• As many bottles may differ in size and dimensions, the actual number of bottles you are able to store may vary.
• The maximum storage number is based on standard 0.75 litre Bordeaux style wine bottles.

Storing your wines

The chart below indicates the ideal storage temperatures for different types of wine:

Type of wine Temperature (Celsius)	Temperature (Fahrenheit)
Red wine 15 – 18 °C 58 – 65 °F
White wine 9 - 14 °C 48 – 79 °F
Sparkling wines/champagne 4 – 8 °C 39 – 47 °F

• Temperature stability is the most important factor when it comes to storing wine.
- Exposure to light, vibrations or fluctuations in temperature and humidity can all cause wine to spoil. When properly stored, wines not only maintain their quality but many will actually improve in aroma, flavour and complexity as they mature.
- Wines kept at a higher temperature will age faster. Wine that is exposed to temperatures that are greater than 18^ C (64°F) will suffer from poorer flavour and

aroma.

- If wine is kept at too low a temperature, this can result in the development of harmful deposits. A humidity of 60% - 70% is ideal for keeping corks from shrinking.

- After a bottle of wine has been opened, the wine comes into contact with air. So it is best to store the remainder of the bottle upright, to minimize the surface area of the wine that is coming into contact with the air.

- Once opened, wine will remain in a drinkable condition for two days for delicate whites or three days for rich reds, as long as the bottle as been resealed. You should make sure that the seal is firm by checking the stopper.

- Special stoppers that keep wine sparking and Champagne bubbling for one or two days after opening, can be bought at most good wine shops.

- When stored correctly, white wines can keep well for up to two years. Full bodied reds will age well for ten years and dessert wines will age well for up to twenty years.

- When you buy a bottle of wine, you should transfer it to a suitable storage location immediately (if you are not going to store it in your wine cooler).

- Cheaper bottles of wine will not age as well as more expensive ones.

- To make the most of the bouquet and taste of your wine, never fill more than half a glass at a time. It will also help if the shape of your wine glass is appropriate for your wine. The size and shape of your wine glass's bowl will determine the intensity and complexity of the bouquet. The stem should be long enough to allow you to avoid hand contact with the bowl of the glass and should be tulip-shaped or tapered at the top.
