2. After reversing the door, it is important to check that the sealing strip provides a tight seal all the way round. If it does not, carefully heat the strip all the way round using a hair dryer. Then ease the strip outwards slightly so that it forms a tight seal against the cabinet. Be careful not to heat the strip so much that it melts!

OBS: You will need to remove the magnet on the underside of the door by unscrewing the two screws, pulling the magnet away from the door and mount it at the other end of the door. If there is a logo badge on the door you will have to remove it and possibly fit it at the other end of the door.

Remove the top and bottom bushes on the door frame (the bushes are the black, round plastic pieces which fit into the top and bottom hinges) and reverse them so that the bush which was at the top is now at the bottom and vice versa.

Operation and function

SET 1 SET 2

fig.11

Electronic control

The electronic control ensures that the temperatures set at the top and at the bottom of the appliance are maintained. This is achieved by means of an advanced control of the refrigeration system, the heating element, and the fan. The set temperature will be stored in the event of power failure.

The electronic control has the following functions:

• On/off switch
• Light switch*
  • Temperature setting
  • Temperature indication
• Alarm for too high and too low temperatures
• Door alarm

* The light may either be turned on constantly or only when the door is open.

Temperature indication

The display shows the actual temperature. The upper digits of the display indicate the temperature at the top of the appliance, and the lower digits of the display indicate the temperature at the bottom of the appliance. The temperature indicator is equipped with

a built-in filter which simulates the actual temperature in the bottles. Consequently, the indicator does not react on short-term fluctuations of the air temperature

Temperature setting

The thermostat is equipped with a child lock device. This device is activated by pushing the “up and down” buttons simultaneously. After approx. 3 seconds “Pof” flashes in the display. Then the actual temperatures are shown as usual. In addition, the set temperatures can be shown by pushing SET1 and SET2, respectively.

The child lock device is cancelled by pushing the "up and down" buttons simultaneously. After approx. 3 seconds "Pon" flashes in the display, and the temperature can be set.

Temperature setting at the top of the appliance

Push SET1. Then the temperature at the top of the appliance can be adjusted up and down by means of the “up and down” buttons. The temperature can be adjusted from 8 to 22°C, however so that the temperature cannot be set at a lower temperature than the actual set point for the bottom temperature sensor.

Temperature setting at the bottom of the appliance

Push SET2. Then the temperature at the bottom of the appliance can be adjusted up and down by means of the “up and down” buttons. The temperature can be adjusted from 5 to 22°C, however so that the temperature cannot be set at a higher temperature than the actual set point for the upper temperature sensor.

Alarm devices

There is a sub-alarm for the low-temperature sensor and an excess-alarm for the high-temperature sensor.

The alarm consists of a beeper and a warning on the display.

Alarm for high temperature: beep sound + alternating display of “HtA” and actual temperature

Alarm for low temperature: beep sound + alternating display of “LtA” and actual temperature

The alarm temperature depends on the set points.

The beep sound can be cancelled by pushing a random thermostat button. Push the on/off button to erase the display alarm, first for cancelling the alarm, then again for restarting the compressor.

Door alarm

When the door has been open for more than 2 min. the door alarm is activated.

Permanent lighting

For presentation purposes of your wine, you can turn on the lights permanently. Please press the light switch image twice. If the controller is placed inside the cabinet press twice, if the controller is placed in the kick plate only press once. To switch off the permanent light press on again.

The light will always be on when the door is open.

Two-zone setting for serving temperature

Typical serving temperature settings for the top and bottom sections are 16^ C and 6^ C respectively. With these settings, a suitable temperature gradient will be achieved in the cabinet for the storage of various types of wine distributed from top to bottom as follows:

• heavy red wines +16 to +19°C
• rosé and light red wines +12 to +16°C
• white wines +10 to +12°C
• champagne and sparkling wines +6 to +8°C

It is recommended that wine be served at a temperature which is a couple of degrees lower than the desired drinking temperature as the wine will be warmed slightly when it is poured into the glass.

Single-zone setting for long-term storage

For long-term wine storage, the top and bottom sections should both be set at 12^ C. With identical settings for the top and bottom sections, the controls will maintain an even temperature throughout the cabinet.

However, the temperature in the room will gradually affect the temperature in the cabinet through its door and sides, creating a slight temperature gradient from top to bottom. The controls will maintain the set temperature at the bottom of the cabinet, and any deviation from the setting will therefore occur at the top.

The difference will vary from 0 to 3°C, depending on the ambient temperature.

The frost protection thermostat

The appliance has a frost protection thermostat that take over control and run the appliance in safety mode in case of malfunction. In safety mode the cabinet will contain temperature between 2^ C – 4^ C.

Defrosting, cleaning and maintenance

Automatic defrosting

The wine cooler is defrosted automatically. Defrost water runs through a pipe and is collected in a tray above the compressor where the heat generated by the compressor causes it to evaporate. The defrost water tray should be cleaned at intervals.

Cleaning

Before cleaning the appliance, unplug it from the main supply. The cabinet is best cleaned using warm water (max. 65°C) with a little mild detergent. Never use cleaning agents that scour. Use a soft cloth. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly. The defrost water channel, in which condensation from the evaporator runs, is located at the bottom of the rear inside wall of the cabinet and must be kept clean.

Add a few drops of disinfectant, e.g. Rodalon, to the defrost water drain a couple of times a year, and clean the drain using a pipe cleaner or similar. Never use sharp or pointed implements.

The sealing strip around the door must be cleaned regularly to prevent discolouration and prolong service life. Use clean water. After cleaning the sealing strip, check that it continues to provide a tight seal.

Dust collecting on the condenser on the rear of the cabinet, the compressor and in the compressor compartment is best removed using a vacuum cleaner.
