Frequently Asked Questions - MaCave ST198D DOMETIC

How do I set the temperature for each zone?

Press the + or - button for the desired zone to set between 5°C and 22°C (41°F-72°F). The lower zone should be at least as high as the upper zone. The display flashes until the set temperature is reached.

What should I do if the appliance is not cooling properly?

Check that the set temperature is correct, the door is fully closed, the ventilation slots are unobstructed, and the ambient temperature is within climate class ST (16-38°C). Also ensure the appliance is level and not in direct sunlight.

How do I reverse the door hinge?

For ST198D, follow steps in figures 12-15 of the manual: remove screws, detach door, rotate 180°, move closing solenoid to opposite side, and reattach. Then fit the handle on the other side (figures 18-19).

How often should I replace the active carbon filter?

Replace the active carbon filter once a year. Turn it 90° clockwise or anti-clockwise to remove, insert new one, and turn until it clicks.

What does the temperature alarm mean?

The alarm sounds and the temperature display flashes if the interior temperature deviates by more than 5°C from the set value for a prolonged time. This may indicate a power outage, door left open, or a fault. Press any button to silence the alarm; the display continues flashing until the set temperature is restored.

Can I store any type of bottle?

Only closed wine bottles should be stored. The unit is designed for Bordeaux standard bottles. Do not overload shelves or cover them with foil, as this restricts airflow.

How do I clean the wine cellar?

Unplug the unit. Clean the interior with a solution of warm water and 2 tablespoons of baking soda per half liter (half quart). Clean shelves with mild detergent. Wipe the control panel with a damp cloth. Clean the exterior with warm water and mild detergent, then dry.

Is it normal for the appliance to make noise?

Yes. You may hear refrigerant flowing, popping or cracking from temperature changes, or fan operation. These are normal. If the noise is excessive, ensure the unit is level on the floor and not touching walls or cabinets.

How do I activate Sabbath mode?

Press and hold the power and interior light buttons simultaneously for at least 5 seconds. The temperature display flashes 4 times. The mode deactivates automatically after 96 hours. To deactivate early, repeat the same button combination.

What do error codes E1, E2, E7 mean?

These indicate a fault with the temperature sensor for the fan. The unit needs repair by an authorized service center. Contact Dometic customer support.
