Frequently Asked Questions - WCI60188-2BG Ecotronic

How do I set the temperature on my WCI60188-2BG beverage cooler?

Use the control panel on the front. The upper zone (window ④) is set with buttons ② (up) and ③ (down); the lower zone (window ⑤) with buttons ⑥ (up) and ⑦ (down). Press the button once to adjust by 1°C. The range is 5°C to 20°C. The display can be switched between Celsius and Fahrenheit by pressing the C/F button (⑧).

Can I reverse the door of the Ecotronic WCI60188-2BG?

Yes, the door is reversible. Follow the instructions in the manual: remove decorative nails, unscrew hinges, rotate the door 180°, and reattach hinges on the opposite side. Ensure the appliance is unplugged and get assistance due to the heavy glass door. Note: Some models with a lock at the bottom may not be reversible.

Why is my beverage cooler not cooling enough?

Possible causes: the temperature setting is too high, the door is opened frequently, the door is not closed properly, the gasket is damaged, or the ambient temperature is too high. Check the set temperature and ensure proper ventilation around the unit. Also allow 24 hours for temperature stabilization after first use or after adding many bottles.

How do I clean the wine cooler?

Unplug the appliance first. Clean the interior with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. The glass door can be cleaned with a glass cleaner. The wooden shelves can be removed and wiped with a damp cloth. Ensure no water enters the controls. Dry thoroughly before plugging back in.

What should I do if the cooler makes unusual noises?

Normal operating noises include: gurgling (refrigerant flow), cracking/popping (expansion/contraction), and fan sounds. If the noise is excessive, check if the unit is level (adjustable feet) and ensure it is not touching any surfaces. Rattling may be from internal components; if persistent, contact service.

How long does it take to cool down after first plug-in?

It takes approximately 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize. The LED display may fluctuate during this time. Avoid opening the door frequently. After the initial period, the temperature will be consistent within ±2.5°C.

Can I store both white and red wine at the same time?

Yes, the dual-zone control allows different temperatures for upper and lower zones. Recommended serving temperatures: champagne at 7°C, white wines at 12°C, and red wines at 18°C. However, for long-term storage, keep all wines at 12-14°C constant.

What type of refrigerant does the WCI60188-2BG use?

It uses R600a refrigerant, which is environmentally friendly but flammable. Ensure the appliance is installed in a room with adequate ventilation (at least 1 m³ per 8 grams of refrigerant). Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.

Wine cellar should be placed where the ambient temperature is proper (Please view the end of Manual). If the temperature is above or below this range, it will affect the performance of the cellar. Placing in cold or hot temperature conditions may cause cellar's temperatures fluctuating, and it will not reach the ideal one.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

The wine cellar must be grounded in case of wire leakage. Grounding reduces the risk of electrical shock. The wine cellar is equipped with a power cord having a grounding wire and plug. The wine cellar plug must be plugged into a properly affixed and grounded electrical outlet.

Note: In locations where there is frequent lightning, it is advisable to use surge protectors.

Improper use of the grounding plug can result in the risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not completely understood.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified person to avoid electrical hazard.

INSTALLING YOUR WINE CELLAR

Unpack and remove all the protection and adhesive strips from the packaging around and inside the wine cellar.

The wine cellar must be positioned such that the plug is accessible. Release the power cord. Move your wine cellar to its final location. The wine cellar should be installed in a suitable place where the compressor will not be subject to physical contact.

Levelling your wine cellar: Wine cellar must be levelled BEFORE loading your wines.

Your wine cellar is equipped with 4 adjustable feet to facilitate easy levelling. We recommend that you tighten the back feet to the maximum and adjust the front feet to level the wine cellar.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Please follow the installation diagram when installing wine cellars. No less than the minimum installation dimension, or it will affect the venting of cellar.
2. All WCI and WI models have rear ventilation and must be able to draw air from underneath the appliance.
3. All wine cellars have a power switch located on the control panel, so power point location is not critical.
4. The wine cellar requires a standard 240 volt/10-amp power point. (Or according to different countries specifications).
5. The power cord is 2.0m in length and is fixed on the right side at the back when looking from front of cabinet.
6. As with most appliances of today, the wine cellar 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.
7. IMPORTANT: The manufacturer does not recommend installing the wine cabinet directly above a built-in oven. Depending on how often the wine cabinet is exposed to heat from the oven, it can affect the wine cabinet's ability to cool the wine and maintain an even temperature, and both the wine cabinet and its contents can be damaged. The manufacturer will carry out service on the wine cabinet in accordance with current legislation if the cabinet's ventilation requirements are carried out correctly, however the manufacturer cannot be held responsible for the contents inside the wine cabinet if installed above a built-in oven.

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.

INSTALLATION DRAWINGS

Ensure good ventilation according to the installation drawings, otherwise it will affect the wine cooler working normally.

Note: The appliance must be positioned so that the plug is accessible after installed.

TURNING ON YOUR WINE CELLAR

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.

Important: 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, our 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.

An individual's perception of noise is directly linked to the environment in which the wine cellar is located, as well the specific type of models. Our wine cellars 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.

LOADING YOUR WINE CELLAR

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 cellar, it is better to distribute the load throughout the wine cellar 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 cellar by stacking the bottles up when necessary. (See removing shelves)

- Keep small 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.

DANGER!

• Do not overload your wine cellar 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 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.

TYPES OF 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 many bottles are added to the cellar.

Designed to store and mature all wines: red, white, and sparkling. These wine cellars 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 recommend 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 pre-set 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 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.

If the light is turned off before you get the door closed, then light will turn on automatically while you open the door, and it will be off automatically when the door is closed. If you want to keep the light always on, just turn on the light after you open the door.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT TEMPERATURE

Your wine cellar 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 “degustation” (wine appreciation) varies according to the type of wines (see “Wine Serving Temperature Chart” above). And as it is for natural cellars used by wine producers for long period of storage, it is not the exact temperature that is important, but its consistency. In other words, if the temperature of your wine cellar 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 cellar is designed with “Auto-cycle” defrost system. During “Off-cycle” the refrigerated surfaces of the wine cellar defrost automatically. Defrost water from the wine cellar storage compartment drains automatically and part of it goes into a drainage container, which is located at the back of the wine cellar 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 cellar for humidity purposes.

This system enables the creation of the correct humidity level inside your wine cellar 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 cellar.

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 cellar is not totally sealed; fresh air admission is permitted through the drainpipe. Air is circulated through the cellar 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 cellar. Avoid touching the surfaces during those cycles.

SLIDING SHELVES

Sliding wooden shelf installation and taking instruction:

Shelf taking: According to below instruction drawing to pull out the shelf to support bracket ①, press two sides of sliding roller buckles and pull out the shelf following the arrow mark ②.

Shelf installation: According to below instruction drawing to push in the shelf alignment with two sides of sliding roller following the arrow mark ③.

REVERSIBILITY OF THE DOOR

REMARK: WCBC6082-2BG/ WI6045H-1B24 models can't be door reversible.

REMARK: If your wine cabinet is equipped with lock at the bottom of the door, the door is not reversible, so you must order one right opening door to change the opening side.

Warning

To avoid accidents during the process of changing the door, we recommend that you get assistance. The glass door is heavy and may cause injury if dropped.

- Depending on to the model and the type of handle your wine cabinet is equipped with, you may have to rotate the door through 180 degrees.

- Depending on the type of handle your wine cabinet is equipped with, the door may not be reversible or may require that a left or right opening door be ordered to change the opening side.

1. To put the cabinet on open operation place, the door opened to the maximum angle.
