Frequently Asked Questions - MWC16B11E MATSUI

How do I set the temperature on my Matsui MWC16B11E wine cooler?

The thermostat control dial has four settings: MIN (off but power connected), NORMAL (recommended for normal room temperature 16-32°C), MAX (maximum cooling), and SUPER (for rapid cooling). For normal use, set to NORMAL after initial 20 minutes on MAX.

What is the maximum number of bottles I can store?

The maximum capacity is 16 standard wine bottles. Use the middle shelf and bottom bottle rack as illustrated in the manual.

How do I reverse the door swing on the MWC16B11E?

Door reversal requires a Phillips screwdriver, flat-bladed screwdriver, and hexagonal spanner. Unplug and empty the unit. Tilt it backwards, remove the lower hinge, door, top hinge, and transfer components to the opposite side. Ensure the unit is level and seals are tight. We recommend two people handle the unit.

Why is my wine cooler making unusual noises?

Noises such as gurgling or clicking are normal and caused by refrigerant circulation and the compressor. Since CFC-free gases were introduced, these sounds are more noticeable but do not affect performance.

How should I clean the inside of the wine cooler?

Disconnect power, remove shelves, and wash them in warm soapy water. Clean the interior with a weak solution of bicarbonate of soda, rinse with a wrung-out sponge, and dry thoroughly. Check the drain outlet for debris. Never use sharp tools to remove ice.

What temperature should I store different wines at?

Refer to the manual: Rose wine 9-12°C, White wine 9-14°C, Light Sherry 9-14°C, Red wine 13-20°C, Fortified wine 13-20°C, Dark Sherry 13-20°C.

How much space should I leave around the wine cooler?

Leave at least 2 cm free space on both sides and 3 cm at the rear to ensure proper air circulation and cooling efficiency.

Can I store food in this wine cooler?

No, the Matsui MWC16B11E is intended exclusively for wine storage. Do not store food or other beverages.

What should I do if the wine cooler is not cooling enough?

First, ensure the thermostat is set correctly (MIN means off). If in a hot room or door opened frequently, temporarily turn to MAX or SUPER. Use a special fridge/freezer thermometer to check internal temperature. If the problem persists, contact a qualified technician.

How do I dispose of my old wine cooler?

Do not discard with household waste. Follow local regulations for recycling. The refrigerant and insulation require special disposal. Remove the door and disable locks to prevent child entrapment. Contact your local council for options.

Cleaning Before Use

Wipe the inside of the unit with a weak solution of bicarbonate soda. Then rinse with warm water using a 'wrung-out' sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before replacing the shelves and bottle rack. Clean the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth.

If you require more information refer to the Cleaning section.

• Before Plugging in YOU MUST
Check that you have a socket which is compatible with the plug supplied with the unit.
• Before Turning On!
Do not turn on until two hours after moving the unit. The coolant fluid needs time to settle.

Before Using Your Unit

Before placing any wine in the unit, turn it on and wait for 24 hours, to make sure it is working properly and to allow it time to fall to the correct temperature. Your unit should not be overfilled.

GB

Switching On Your Wine Cooler

1. The internal temperature of the wine cooler is controlled by a thermostat. There are four settings MIN, NORMAL, MAX and SUPER.
2. Before connecting the wine cooler to the mains socket, make sure that the thermostat control dial, is set to MAX. Connect the mains cable to the mains socket.
3. After the wine cooler has been on for 20 minutes adjust the thermostat control dial to NORMAL. This is the recommended setting when operating at normal room temperature (between 16^ and 32^ ).
4. The wine cooler may not operate at the correct temperature if it is in a particularly hot or a particularly cold room, or if you open the door often.
5. If you are concerned that the wine cooler is not being kept cold enough and wish to check the temperature you will need a special fridge/freezer thermometer. It is available from most supermarkets and hardware shops.

Place the thermometer on the shelf of the wine cooler, where it can be read easily. Leave overnight, the temperature in the wine cooler should be between 5°C and 20°C depending on the type of wine.

THERMOSTAT CONTROL DIAL

In the MIN position the wine cooler will not operate, but the power supply remains connected.

Stacking the Wine Bottles

Please follow the loading method in the picture for storing those 16 bottles of wine. There is a shelf in the middle and a bottle rack at the bottom of the wine cooler.

Max Capacity : 16 bottles

Noises Inside the Wine Cooler

You may notice that your wine cooler makes some unusual noises. These noises are perfectly normal, and are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant liquid in the cooling system. It has become more pronounced since the introduction of CFC free gases. This is not a fault and will not affect the performance of your wine cooler.

This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the refrigerant around the system.

Storing Wine in Your Wine Cooler

One benefit of your new wine cooler is that you can simulate the conditions of a wine cellar.

By using a wine cooler thermometer you can ensure a constant temperature of around 5-20°C, which is ideal for storing wine. Make sure that the bottles are lying on their sides. This ensures that the wine inside is in contact with the cork, which stops the cork drying out, shrinking, letting air in and spoiling the wine. After a bottle has been opened, the wine comes into contact with air which will start to oxidise the wine. This generally occurs on the wine's contact surface, leaving the remaining wine in good condition. By leaving your bottle standing, you minimise the surface area of the wine which is in contact with air.

If you're serving white, rose or sparkling wine, chill it lightly for at least two hours in the wine cooler before serving. Most reds should be served at room temperature, or in the case of lighter reds like Beaujolais, very slightly chilled.

Opened wine will remain in good condition for up to two days (for delicate whites), or three days (for rich reds), as long as the bottle is resealed and stored in your wine cooler. Special stoppers that keep sparkling wine and champagne bubbling for one or two days after opening can be bought at most good wine shops. When storing leftover wine, attempt to minimise the oxidation process of the wine. You can use a 'vacuum' which pumps out the air in the bottle leaving a semi-vacuum. The wine should last for about two weeks.

However, if it is a good quality wine and you intend to finish it within one week, all you'll need to do is to replace the cork and leave it standing in your wine cooler.

Different wines are best kept at different temperatures. To choose the temperature at which to store your wines please consult the table below.

Serving Temperatures

Wine Type °F °C

Rose Wine 48-54 9-12

White Wine 48-58 9-14

Sherry (Light) 48-58 9-14

Red Wine 57-68 13-20

Fortified Wine 57-68 13-20

Sherry (Dark) 57-68 13-20

Filling Your Wine Cooler

When filling your wine cooler the greater the amount of cans and bottles placed inside the wine cooler from room temperature, the longer it will take to cool them to the desired temperature. You may wish to temporarily turn the Thermostat Control Dial to a higher setting to speed up the cooling process. If you do this remember to return it to the previous setting once the drinks have reached the required temperature in order to conserve energy.

Space Around the Wine Cooler

Ensure that 2 cm of free space is left at both sides and 3 cm at the rear of the wine cooler. This will allow cold air to circulate around the wine cooler and improve the efficiency of the cooling process.

Keep the Door Closed

To prevent cold air escaping, limit the number of times your open the door.

Cleaning the Inside of the Wine Cooler

There is usually no need to defrost the wine cooler as any ice that is deposited on the back wall will defrost automatically.

1. Before cleaning the wine cooler always switch off and disconnect the mains supply.
2. Remove all the shelves and detachable accessories and wash in warm soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly.
3. If any ice has been deposited on the rear wall, leave the door open and wait until it begins to thaw. As the solid frost loosen, prize it away with a plastic scraper and remove. Never use metal or sharp instruments to remove the ice deposit.
4. You should clean the interior of the wine cooler with a weak solution of bicarbonate of soda.
5. Check that the drain outlet at the rear wall of the wine cooler compartment is clear of debris as this will affect the automatic defrosting.
6. Rinse the wine cooler with warm water using a clean 'wrung-out' sponge or cloth. Then, wipe it dry before replacing the shelves and accessories.
7. Plug in and switch on the mains supply.

Cleaning the Outside of the Wine Cooler

Use a damp cloth to clean the wine cooler exterior and a glass cleaner on the door. Make sure that the door is closed, to prevent polish getting on the magnetic door seal or inside.

Cleaning Tips

Condensation may appear on the outside of the wine cooler. This maybe due to a change in room temperature. Wipe off any moisture residue. If the problem continues, please contact a qualified technician for assistance.

Maintenance

Care When Handling

Hold the wine cooler around its sides or base when moving it. Under no circumstances should it be lifted by holding the edges of the top surface.

Installation

Don't cover or block the sides of your wine cooler.

Servicing

This wine cooler should be serviced by a qualified technician and only genuine spare parts should be used. Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the wine cooler yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunctioning.

Switching Off for Long Periods of Time

When the wine cooler is not in use for a long period of time, disconnect it from the mains supply, empty all wine and clean the wine cooler, leaving the door ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.

Disposal

Old units still have some residual value. An environmentally friendly method of disposal will ensure that valuable raw materials can be recovered and used again. The refrigerant and insulation materials used in the unit require special disposal procedures. Ensure that none of the pipes on the back of the unit are damaged prior to disposal.

Up to date information concerning options of disposing of your old unit and packaging from the new one can be obtained from your local council office.

If your unit is fitted with a lock, to prevent children being trapped inside, keep the key out of reach and not in the vicinity of the unit.

When disposing of an old unit break off any old locks or latches and remove the door as a safeguard.
