Frequently Asked Questions - HWC 2536DL HOOVER

How long should you wait before plugging in the wine cellar after installation?

It is recommended to let the appliance stand upright for at least 2 hours before plugging it in to avoid failure of the refrigeration system due to movement.

How to adjust the temperature of the wine cellar?

Use the ▲ and ▼ buttons on the control panel to increase or decrease the temperature. Each compartment (top and middle) can be adjusted independently. The display in °C or °F is selected with the F/C button.

Why is the display flashing?

The display flashes during temperature calculation. When stable, it shows the measured temperature of the compartment.

What to do if the interior lighting does not work?

First check that the appliance is plugged in and the circuit breaker has not tripped. Then make sure the lighting is turned on (on/off button). If that does not solve the problem, the LEDs may be burnt out. Contact an authorized professional to replace them with identical lamps.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Before Using Your Wine Cooler

• Remove the exterior and interior packing, including protective foam on door panels.

• Check to be sure the following parts are included:

• 5 slide out shelves
  1 wine rack
  1 Instruction manual

• Before connecting the appliance 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.

Installation of Your Wine Cooler

• Place your appliance on a floor that is strong enough to support the appliance when it is fully loaded. To level your appliance, adjust the legs at the front of the appliance.
• Allow 5 inches of space between the back and sides of the appliance, which allows the proper air circulation to cool the compressor.

• Locate the appliance 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 appliance not to perform properly.

• Avoid locating the appliance in moist areas. Too much moisture in the air will cause frost to form quickly on the evaporator.

• Plug the appliance 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 toward a certified electrician or an authorized Products service center.

Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced by an authorized Products service center.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Do not store food in wine cooler, as interior temperature may not get cool enough to prevent spoilage. As a natural result of condensation, in summer months or area of high humidity, the glass door may built up moisture on the outside. Just wipe it away.

Before starting the wine cooler, ensure the cabinet is level. This will eliminate any vibrations. This wine cooler is designed for climatic class N and to use at temperature from 16 to 32 degree Celsius.

It is recommended you install the wine cooler in a place where the ambient temperature is between 22-25 degree Celsius. If the ambient temperature in above or below the recommended temperature, conditions may cause the interior temperature to fluctuate. Recommended temperature ranges for chilling wine

Red wines: 15-18°C

Dry/White Wines 10-15°C

Rose Wines 9-10°C

Sparkling Wines 6-9°C

Beverage 3-6°C

SETTING THE TEMPERATURE CONTROLS

Each cooling compartment of the wine cooler (upper & lower) are independently controlled. To set the temperature:

1. Connect the power cord to a properly grounded outlet. The temperature preset at factory of each compartment are:

$$ \begin{array}{c} 1 2 ^ {\circ} \mathrm {C} (5 4 ^ {\circ} \mathrm {F}) - \text {U p p e r C o m p a r t m e n t} \ 6 ^ {\circ} \mathrm {C} (4 3 ^ {\circ} \mathrm {F}) - \text {M i d d l e C o m p a r t m e n t} \end{array} $$

1. Set the desired cooling temperature by pressing the button or which are under the Upper Compartment/Middle Compartment program. When you push the two buttons for the first time, the LCD readout will show the original temperature set at previous time. The temperature that you desire to set will increase 1^ or 1^ if you push the once, on the contra the temperature will decrease 1^ or 1^ if you push the once.

Upper Compartment: The temperature setting can be adjusted from 10^ - 18^ ( 50^ - 64^ );

Middle Compartment: The temperature setting can be adjusted from 5^ - 10^ ( 41^ - 50^ ).

Bottom Compartment: Display the temperature from 5^ - 8^ (41°F - 46°F)

The setting temperatures may fluctuate depending on whether the bottles are located on the upper/middle or lower section. The Bottom compartment only display the temperature. It fluctuate basing on the setting temperature of the middle compartment.

1. To view the setting temperature, (anytime) press the corresponding or button, the setting temperature will temporarily flash in the LCD display for 5 seconds.

Flashing LCD = Setting Temperature

Steady LCD = Cabinet Temperature

1. This unit has the option to display temperature in either Celsius or Fahrenheit. To change the setting, press the button marks C/F
2. You can turn the interior lights on or off by pressing the button marked symbol. The interior lights are LED lights and low energy bulbs (only

0.25W for each one) and low heat. However they should not be left on for long periods of time, only whilst you are looking inside of the wine cooler.

1. Your wine cooler is designed with an Auto-Cycle defrost system. During the Off-Cycle the refrigerated surface of the wine cooler (interior rear wall) defrost automatically. The defrost water is channelled into a condensate drain pan which is located at the back of the wine cooler on the top of the compressor from where it evaporates.

Shelves

Shelving is wooden. To accommodate different size bottles, they can be moved up or drown by sliding them out of the tracks. The shelves are designed to accommodate the maximum amount of bottles.

Wine Rack

There is an additional wine rack at bottom section of the unit where you can store up to 6 wine bottles. This rack is removable for cleaning purpose.

NOTE:

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

Also, there is a 2 to 3^ C variance between the top and bottom shelves of each compartment. Therefore, If you have set the wine cellar for red wine only and the temperature reads 16^ C and you want to place a mix of white and red wines, you should place the wine bottles on the bottom shelves and the red wines on the top shelves.
