Before use

Before operating your new appliance, please read the following instructions carefully as they contain important information on safety, installation, operation and maintenance. Keep the instructions for future reference. On receipt, check to ensure that the appliance has not been damaged during transport. Transport damage should be reported to the local distributor before the wine cooler is put into use.

Remove the packaging. Before connecting the cooler to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 2 hours. This will reduce the risk of a malfunction in the cooling system due to handling during transportation.

Clean the inside of the cabinet using warm water with a mild detergent. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly (see cleaning instructions). Use a soft cloth. If the appliance has been laid down during transport, or if it has been stored in cold surroundings (colder than +5°C), it must stabilise in an upright position for at least 2 hours before being switched on.

Upper compartment

Display for the set temperature in upper compartment.

Lower compartment

Display for the set temperature in lower compartment.

Flashing indication = Cabinet Temperature.

Steady indication = Set Temperature.

Alarms

If the temperature is higher than 23°C, "HI" is shown on the display, the alarm will sound after one hour, and the reason must be controlled. If the temperature is lower than 0°C, "LO" is shown on the display, and the buzzer alarm and the malfunction indicator light at the same time.

Door alarm

When the door has been open for more than 5 minutes, the door alarm is activated.

Power interruption

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 the power is going to be off for a longer period of time, you need to take the proper steps to protect your contents.

LED light

In order to reduce energy consumption, the LED light will automatically switch off when the door is closed.

If you want the LED light to remain on continuously, this is possible. Please press and hold the "LIGHT" button for 5 seconds, the display will show "LP". After 4 seconds the display will revert back to normal and the light will remain on until manually switched off.

If you want to revert and conserve energy (recommended), please press and hold the "LIGHT" button for 5 seconds, the display will show "LF". After 4 seconds, the display will revert to normal, and the light will automatically switch off after 10 minutes.

(If the wine cooler is equipped with the door switch. The light will be on when the door is open and the light turns off when the door is closed).

NOTE:

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

When you use the wine cooler for the first time or restart the wine cooler after having been shut off for a long time, there could be a few degrees variance between the temperature you select 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 cooler is running for a few hours everything will be back to normal.

Defrosting, cleaning, and maintenance

Automatic defrosting

The wine cooler is defrosted automatically. Defrost water runs through a pipe and is collected in a tray above the compressor where the heat generated by the compressor causes it to evaporate. The defrost water tray should be cleaned at intervals.

Cleaning

Before cleaning the appliance, unplug it from the main supply. The cabinet is best cleaned using warm water (max. 65°C) with a little mild detergent. Never use cleaning agents that scour. Use a soft cloth. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly. The defrost water channel, in which condensation from the evaporator runs, is located at the bottom of the rear inside wall of the cabinet and must be kept clean.

Add a few drops of disinfectant, e.g. Rodalon, to the defrost water drain a couple of times a year, and clean the drain using a pipe cleaner or similar. Never use sharp or pointed implements.

The sealing strip around the door must be cleaned regularly to prevent discolouration and prolong service life. Use clean water. After cleaning the sealing strip, check that it continues to provide a tight seal.

Dust collecting on the condenser on the rear of the cabinet, the compressor and in the compressor compartment is best removed using a vacuum cleaner.
