INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR BUILT IN WINE COOLERS:
WINEMEX69 model is free standing only. Any built in voids the warranty
- “Built in” wine coolers are front venting but are not designed to be fully integrated behind a joinery door.
- Please follow the installation diagram when installing built-in wine coolers. No less than the minimum installation dimension, or it will affect the venting of cooler.
- Built-in wine coolers draw air from right of ventilation frame (WINEMEX24 from the rear) and expel through left of ventilation frame under the front door.
- “Built in” wine coolers have a power switch located on the control panel so power point location is not critical.
- The wine cooler requires a standard 240 volt/10 amp power point. (Or according to different countries specifications).
- The power cord is 2.0m in length and is fixed on the right side at the back when looking from front of cabinet.
- As with most appliances of today, the wine cooler has sensitive electronic components which are susceptible to damage through lightning and electricity supply faults. It is therefore advised to use a power surge protector to avoid problems of this nature.
Air vent on door must be provided for built-in wine coolers when a wood door installed.
In Hot climate zone, an air vent or grid, with a minimum ventilation size of 200mm x 40mm MUST be cut out at the rear top of the back partitioning or at the top of either side of the partitioning, allowing cool fresh air full access to flow into the 30mm gap located at the rear of the cabinet.
This air vent or grid must not be opened on the same side as other appliances such as ovens or an area that is sealed and without access to fresh cool air. Failing to comply with the above specifications could result in WARRANTY void.
Note: The appliance must be positioned so that the plug is accessible after installed.

Plug in and switch on the cooler by pressing on the power button for a few seconds.
When you use the wine cooler for the first time (or restart the wine cooler 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 cooler is running for a few hours everything will stabilize.
Important: If the unit is unplugged, power is lost, or turned off, wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit. The wine cooler will not start if you attempt to restart before this time delay.
Operating Noises
To reach the desired temperature settings, Our wine coolers, like all wine coolers 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 cooler.
An individual's perception of noise is directly linked to the environment in which the wine cooler is located, as well the specific type of models. Our wine coolers are in line with international standards for such appliance. We will always do its utmost to satisfy its customers but will not retake possession of the goods due to complaints based on normal operating noise occurrences.
TYPES OF REGULATION
Please note that depending on the loading and settings chosen it takes about 24 hours for the wine cooler 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 cooler.

Designed to store and mature all wines: red, white and sparkling. These wine coolers reproduce the ideal conditions for wine storage, at a constant recommended temperature of 12^ C. They can also be set to provide ideal serving temperature for full enjoyment of the wine's qualities. 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. (Refer to “Wine Service Temperature” recommendation chart)
TEMPERATURE SETTINGS
Important: The LED displays by default the actual internal air temperature.
The temperature of the power, before all Settings will be resumed after the electricity to power the preset temperature
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 cooler 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 cooler.
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 cooler 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.

LOADING YOUR WINE COOLER
You may load your wine bottles in single or double rows while taking note of the following: if you do not have enough bottles to fill your wine cooler, it is better to distribute the load throughout the wine cooler so as to avoid “all on top” or “all below” type loads.
- Do remove or relocate adjustable wooden shelves to accommodate larger type of bottles or increase the capacity of the cooler 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 cooler air circulation is important to prevent mould and for a better homogeneous temperature within the cooler.
- Do not over load your wine cooler to facilitate air circulation.
- Do not stack more than 1.5 rows of standard 0.75L bottles per shelves to facilitate air circulation
- Avoid obstructing the internal fans (located inside on the back panel of the wine cooler).
- 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 cooler 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 cooler while it is loaded with wines. This might distort the body of the wine cooler and cause back injury.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT TEMPERATURE
Your wine cooler has been designed to guarantee optimum conditions for storing and/or serving your wines.
Fine wines require long and gentle developments and need specific conditions in which to reach their full potential.
All wines mature at the same temperature, which is a constant temperature set between 12^ C to 14^ C. Only the temperature of “dégustation” (wine appreciation) varies according to the type of wines (see “Wine Serving Temperature Chart” above). This being said and as it is for natural coolers used by wine producers for long period of storage, it is not the exact temperature that is important, but its consistency. In other words, as long as the temperature of your wine cooler is constant (between 12^ C to 14^ C) your wines will be stored in perfect conditions.
Not all wines will improve over the years. Some should be consumed at an early stage (2 to 3 years) while others have tremendous ageing capability (50 and over). All wines have a peak in maturity. Do check with your wine merchant to get the relevant information.
DEFROSTING/CONDENSATION/HYGROMETRY/VENTILATION
Your wine cooler is designed with “Auto-cycle” defrost system. During “Off-cycle” the refrigerated surfaces of the wine cooler defrost automatically. Defrost water from the wine cooler storage compartment drains automatically and part of it goes into a drainage container, which is located at the back of the wine cooler next to the compressor. The heat is transferred from the compressor and evaporates any condensation that has collected in the pan. Part of the remaining water is collected within the wine cooler for humidity purposes.
This system enables the creation of the correct humidity level inside your wine cooler required by the natural cork to maintain a long lasting seal.
Notes: The water collected by condensation, is therefore recycled. Under extremely dry environmental conditions, you may have to add some water into the water container provided with your wine cooler.
All units are equipped with a double glazed glass door that has a third internal acrylic layer to minimize condensation on the glass door.
The wine cooler is not totally sealed; fresh air admission is permitted through the drainpipe. Air is circulated through the cooler by means of a fan/fans and the hollow shelves.
Notes: During the refrigerating cycle, heat is given off and disperses through the external surfaces of the wine cooler. Avoid touching the surfaces during those cycles.
OPERATION ANOMALIES
Ensure that there is power to the electrical supply plug by connecting another electrical appliance to it. Check fuse, if any. Make sure that the door is closed properly.
If your wine cooler appears to be malfunctioning, unplug it and contact your after sales service. Any intervention on the cold circuit should be performed by a refrigeration technician who should carry out an inspection of the circuit sealing system. Similarly, any intervention on the electrical circuit should be performed by a qualified electrician.
Notes: Any intervention performed by a non-authorized technician We will lead to the warranty being considered as null and void.
POWER FAILURES
In the event of a power interruption, all previous temperature settings are automatically preservation and it will revert to a preset temperature setting. (See preset chart)
Most power failures are corrected within a short period of time. An hour or two's loss of power will not affect wine cooler's temperatures. To avoid sudden change of temperature while the power is off, you should avoid opening the door. For longer period of power failure, do take steps to protect your wine.
Irrespective of the cause, if you notice either abnormal temperature or humidity levels inside your wine cooler, be reassured that only long and frequent exposure to these abnormal conditions can cause a detrimental effect on your wines.
