GETTING STARTED

Plug in and switch on the cellar by pressing on the power button for a few seconds. When you use the wine cellar for the first time (or restart the wine cellar after having it shut off for a long time), there will be a few degrees variance between the temperature you have selected and the one indicated on the LED readout. This is normal and it is due to the length of the activation time. Once the wine cellar is running for a few hours everything will stabilize.

Note: If the unit is unplugged, power is lost, or turned off, wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit. The wine cellar will not start if you attempt to restart before this time delay.

Operating Noises

To reach the desired temperature settings, wine cellars, like all wine cellars operating with compressors and fans, may produce the following types of noises. These noises are normal and may occur as follows:

• Gurgling sound - caused by the refrigerant flowing through the appliance's coils.
• Cracking/popping sounds - resulting from the contraction and expansion of the refrigerant gas to produce cold.
  • Fan operating sound - to circulate the air within the wine cellar.

Loading the Wine Cellar

• Do remove or relocate adjustable wooden shelves to accommodate larger type of bottles or increase the capacity of the cellar by stacking the bottles up when necessary. (See removing shelves)
• Keep smalls gap between the walls and the bottles to allow air circulation. Like an underground cellar air circulation is important to prevent mould and for a better homogeneous temperature within the cellar.
• Do not over load your wine cellar to facilitate air circulation.
• Avoid obstructing the internal fans (located inside on the back panel of the wine cellar).
• Do not slide the shelves outwards beyond the fixed position to prevent the bottles from falling.
• Do not pull out more than one loaded shelf at a time as this may cause the wine cellar to tilt forward.
• Do not cover the wooden shelves with alloy foil or other materials, as it will obstruct air circulation.
• Do not move your wine cellar while it is loaded with wines. This might distort the body of the wine cellar and cause back injury.

Notes on Temperature Regulation

Please note that depending on the loading and settings chosen it takes about 24 hours for the wine cellar to see the temperature stabilizing. During this time LED seems to move erratically in particular, It is normal and this process occurs whenever the setting is modified and/or whenever a large amount of bottles are added to the cellar.

These wine cellars reproduce the ideal conditions for wine storage, at a constant recommended temperature of 12 °C. T Unless stated by the wine maker on the bottle, We recommends 7 °C for your champagne, 12 °C for whites and 18 °C for reds.

Temperature Settings

Note: The LED displays by default the actual internal air temperature. In the event of a power interruption, all previous temperature settings are automatically erased and it will revert to the preset temperature settings.

The electrical board of all models comes with memory function. It is important to understand that there is a difference between the air temperature inside the wine cellar and the actual temperature of the wine: You will need to wait approximately 12 hours before noticing the effects of temperature adjustment due to the critical mass within a full wine cellar.

Once the temperature is set, it is strongly advised not to toy with it or adjust frequently. The thermostat will maintain the temperature inside the wine cellar within a +/- 2.5 °C range. But the thermal inertia of the wine and the glass is such that within this temperature range, the actual temperature of the wine will only fluctuate 0.5 °C to 1 °C.

CLEANING AND CARE

Cleaning the Unit

• First switch off the unit and disconnect the power plug from the socket. Remove the entire contents.
• Wash the interior with a damp cloth dipped in lukewarm water with a little detergent.
• Make sure that the rubber seal on the door is clean so that the unit remains powerful.
• The exterior of the wine refrigerator should be cleaned with a mild detergent.
  • Dry the inside and outside with a soft cloth.
• Dust and anything else that blocks the exhaust air openings will reduce the cooling capacity of the unit. If necessary, suck off the exhaust air opening.

Shutdown in absentia

• Turn off the unit first. Then disconnect the power plug.
• Remove the entire contents.
• Clean the unit.
• Keep the lid open slightly to prevent condensation, mould or odours.

Installation at another Location

• Turn off the unit first. Disconnect the power plug.
• Remove the entire contents.
• Secure all loose objects with adhesive tape.
• Tape the doors shut.

Energy Saving Tips
