Frequently Asked Questions - BF-314U SPT

How do I set the temperature on my SPT BF-314U wine cooler?

Press the ▲ or ▼ buttons on the control panel to adjust the temperature. Each press changes the temperature by 1 degree. The set temperature will flash for 5 seconds and then revert to displaying the internal temperature. To view the set temperature, press either button once.

How do I lock or unlock the control panel?

Press and hold the LIGHT/LOCK button for 3 seconds to lock or unlock the control panel. When locked, the LOCK indicator light will illuminate.

Why is my wine cooler not cooling properly?

Possible causes: the temperature setting is too high, the door is opened too often, the door is not closed completely, the door gasket is not sealing properly, or the ambient temperature is outside the recommended range (50°F to 83°F). Check these and adjust as needed.

Why is the interior light not working?

Ensure the unit is plugged in and the circuit breaker has not tripped. Check if the light button is pressed to the ON position. If still not working, the bulb may be burned out (contact service). The light automatically turns off after 10 minutes to conserve energy.

Why is there condensation on the glass door?

Condensation occurs when humidity in the air contacts the cold glass surface. This is normal in high humidity environments. Simply wipe off the water droplets with a soft cloth. To reduce condensation, try to minimize door openings and ensure the room is well-ventilated.

How do I reverse the door on my BF-314U?

The manual provides instructions for reversing the door. Generally, you remove the door, hinges, and handle, then reinstall them on the opposite side. Ensure the unit is unplugged before starting. Detailed steps are in the user manual.

What does the defrosting indicator (flickering dot) mean?

A flickering dot on the display indicates the automatic defrost cycle is in progress. This happens every 8 hours and lasts about 30 minutes. During defrost, the temperature may rise slightly above the set temperature, which is normal. The water evaporates automatically.

Why is my wine cooler making noise?

Some noise is normal: gurgling from refrigerant flow, popping/crackling from wall contraction/expansion, and compressor sounds. If excessive, check that the unit is level and not vibrating against other surfaces. Also ensure the floor is flat and sturdy.

How should I clean the wine cooler?

Turn off and unplug the unit. Remove all items and shelves. Wipe interior surfaces with a soft cloth using a solution of 2 tablespoons baking soda per quart of warm water. Wash shelves with mild detergent. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Wipe exterior with warm water and mild liquid detergent, then dry.

What should I do during a power failure?

Minimize door openings to maintain internal temperature. The unit has a Memory IC that will restore the last temperature setting when power returns. If the outage is prolonged, consider transferring contents to a backup cooler. Do not restart the unit for 3-5 minutes after power is restored.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Before Initial Use

• Remove the exterior and interior packing.
• Before connecting power, allow unit to stand upright for 2 hours. This allows the refrigerant to settle and reduce the possibility of malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.
• Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
  • Install the handle on the left side of the door (if you wish to reverse the door, please first reverse the door according to instructions below, then install handle on the right).

Placement

• This appliance is designed for free standing or built-in (full recessed) installation.
• Place the appliance on a floor that is flat and strong enough to support it when fully loaded. To level the appliance, adjust the front leveling legs at the bottom of the unit.
• 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 unit not to perform properly.
• Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.
• 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.

Defrosting:

While operating, the appliance will defrost once every 8 hours. The defrosting process lasts approximately 30 minutes. Water will collect in the evaporator drip tray and is automatically evaporated. During the defrosting process, the temperature displayed may be higher than the set temperature.

Note: Water condensation may appear on the outer surface of the glass door. This occurs when water molecules within the air comes in contact with the cold surface of the glass door. The vapor condenses on the glass surface and can cause a foggy effect or in extreme situations, water droplets. This indicates high humidity in the environment, simply wipe off the water condensation with a soft cloth.

• The appliance should be placed where the ambient temperature is between 50°F to 83°F. If the ambient temperature is above or below this range, the performance of the unit may be affected. For example, placing your unit in extreme cold or hot conditions may cause interior temperatures to fluctuate.
• Connect power cord to a properly grounded outlet.
• This appliance is equipped with Memory IC – should there be a power interruption, unit will auto recover at last setting.

Control Panel:

ON/OFF Power

To turn the appliance on or off, press and hold the ON/OFF button for 3 seconds.

• Set the desired temperature by pressing the corresponding buttons, to increase or to decrease. Each press is in 1-degree increment. Once released, set temperature will flash for approximately 5 seconds then revert back to display the internal temperature.
• To view your set temperature, press either the or button once and LED display will flash set temperature for 5 seconds.
• The appliance has the capability to display temperature in either Celsius or Fahrenheit. To change the temperature scale, press and hold both ▼ buttons simultaneously for approx. 3 seconds.

RUN

When unit's compressor is running, this indicator light will illuminate to signify that cooling mode is currently in operation.

LOCK

If illuminated, indicates the control panel is locked.

NOTE:

• If the unit is unplugged, turned off or experienced a power failure, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the appliance will not start.
• When you use the appliance for the first time, or restart after having been shut off for a long time, there could be a few degrees variance between the set temperature and the displayed temperature on the LED readout. This is normal and is due to the length of inactivity. Once the unit runs for a few hours, everything will be back to normal.
• When the “·” is flickering, indicates the defrosting mode is currently in operation, it does not affect the unit operation normally.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning Your Beverage Cooler

• Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all items including shelves and racks.

During this time, the temperature may rise above your set temperature. Defrosted water is collected inside evaporating tray and evaporates automatically.

Power Failure

Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your appliance if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If your power is going to be off for a longer period of time, you need to take the proper steps to protect your contents.

Vacation Time

Short vacations: Leave the appliance operating during vacations of less then three weeks. For longer vacations, should you decide to turn off the unit, leave the door ajar to prevent odor building inside.
