Frequently Asked Questions - UWTS56-20G PKM

What is the maximum capacity of the PKM UWTS56-20G wine cellar?

The wine cellar can hold up to 20 standard Bordeaux bottles (750 ml). It has 5 wooden shelves, and you should not store more than 2 layers of bottles on any shelf.

How do I set the temperature?

To set the temperature, first deactivate the child lock if active (press and hold ON/OFF and ILLUMINATION simultaneously for 3 seconds). Then press the INCREASE (△) or DECREASE (▽) button repeatedly until the desired temperature (5–20°C / 41–68°F) appears. The setting is confirmed after 5 seconds of inactivity.

How can I reverse the door hinge?

The door hinge can be reversed by following the steps in the manual. Important: Unplug the appliance before starting. The process involves removing the door, swapping the hinges to the opposite side, and reinstalling. Use the provided left hinge parts. The appliance must be handled by at least two persons.

What should I do if the appliance does not cool?

Check if the temperature setting is too high, the environment is too warm, or the door is opened too frequently. Ensure proper ventilation and that the climatic class (SN/N/ST: 10–38°C) is respected. If the compressor runs continuously, allow time after a restart. For persistent issues, consult the troubleshooting section or contact aftersales.

How does the child safety lock work?

The child lock activates automatically after 15 seconds of no button activity. To lock manually, press and hold ON/OFF and ILLUMINATION together for 3 seconds. To unlock, repeat the same action. When locked, all buttons are disabled.

How do I clean and maintain the wine cellar?

Clean the interior and exterior with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive or solvent-based cleaners. Clean the condenser (rear) twice a year with a vacuum cleaner. Defrosting is automatic; ensure the drain is not blocked. Always unplug the appliance before cleaning.

What do the error codes E1, E2, E3, E4 mean?

E1 and E2 indicate a failure (open or short circuit) of the wine storage zone temperature sensor. E3 and E4 indicate a failure of the defrost sensor. In all cases, contact aftersales service for repair.

Can I install the appliance under a counter?

Yes, the appliance is designed for undercounter installation. Ensure adequate ventilation clearance as specified in the manual (minimum distances from walls and heat sources). The door must open fully. Use the adjustable feet for levelling.

What is the recommended storage temperature for different wines?

- Red wine: 15–18°C (59–64.4°F) - White wine: 9–14°C (48.2–57.2°F) - Rosé wine: 10–11°C (50–51.8°F) - Champagne/sparkling: 5–8°C (41–46.6°F)

How can I replace the LED light?

The LED illuminant must be replaced only by a qualified professional (electrical technician). If damaged, contact aftersales. Do not attempt to replace it yourself, as it is not covered by the guarantee.
