Frequently Asked Questions - WC-2037 Salton

How do I set the temperature on my Salton WC-2037 wine cooler?

Turn the Temperature Control Dial to the desired setting. MIN (1) is the warmest, MED (2) is recommended, MAX (3) is the coldest. The temperature range is between 10°C and 15°C (50°F-59°F).

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

First, ensure the unit is plugged in and the circuit breaker is not tripped. Check the thermostat setting. If the problem persists, the door may be opened too often or not closed completely. Also verify the door gasket is sealing properly.

Why is there ice formation on the inner back wall?

Ice formation is usually due to a door gasket not sealing properly, frequent or prolonged door openings, or a blocked defrost drain. Check the drain for debris and refer to the Care and Cleaning section for manual defrosting instructions.

How do I defrost the wine cooler?

Set the thermostat to STOP (0) and leave the door open. Do not use boiling water, electrical devices, or sharp objects. The defrost water will drain via the rear drain outlet into an evaporation pan. Once defrosted, turn the dial back to the desired setting.

How do I clean the wine cooler?

Unplug the unit and remove shelves. Wash the interior with a solution of 2 tbsp baking soda per quart of water. Use a mild detergent for shelves. For the exterior, use warm water and mild liquid detergent. Always wring excess water before cleaning near controls or electrical parts.

Can the Salton WC-2037 be built-in?

No, the wine cooler is designed for freestanding use only. It requires proper air circulation: 3 inches (8 cm) at the back, 4 inches (10 cm) on each side, and 2 inches (5 cm) at the top.

Why is the appliance making noise?

Normal sounds include refrigerant flow (rattling), gurgling at cycle ends, and popping/crackling from expansion/contraction. Ensure the unit is level and contents are not touching. If vibrations persist, adjust the leveling legs.

How do I replace the door handle?

The door handle is assembled using 2 screws attached inside the cabinet. Align the handle with the holes on the door frame and fasten securely. Refer to Illustration 1 in the manual.

What should I do during a power failure?

Most power failures last only a few hours. Minimize door openings to maintain temperature. If the unit is unplugged or turned off, wait at least 5 minutes before restarting to prevent damage.

How to prepare the wine cooler for long-term storage or moving?

Remove all items, unplug, and clean the interior. Leave the door slightly open to prevent mold. For moving, tape the door shut, turn leveling screws up, and secure the unit upright with a blanket.

CARE AND CLEANING

Automatic Defrosting of the Appliance

1. There is no need to defrost the cellar, because ice depositing on the inner back wall is defrosted automatically. Ice build-up on the inner back wall during the compressor operation will defrost automatically when the compressor has cycled off. Defrost water will drain out passing through the drain outlet in the inner back wall into a drain pan situated above the compressor, from where it evaporates.

2. If ice formation remains on the inner back wall then the ice should be manually defrosted. Please follow directions below carefully.

3. Set thermostat knob to STOP (0) position and leave door open.

4. DO NOT use boiling water, electrical devices or sharp objects for defrosting.

5. The interior of the appliance is cooled with a cooling plate mounted in the rear wall. Under the plate there is a channel and an outlet drain for defrost water.
6. Check for any debris that may be blocking the drain outlet.
7. The defrosting process may take a few hours.
8. Once defrosting is complete, turn the Temperature Control Dial back to desired position.

Cleaning

• Unplug the appliance, and remove the shelves.
• Wash the inside surfaces with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2 tbsp. (30 ml) of baking soda to a quart (litre) of water.
• Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution.
• Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth before cleaning the area of the controls, or any electrical parts.
• Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.

CAUTION: Failure to unplug the appliance could result in electrical shock or personal injury.

Power Failure

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.

NOTE: If the unit is unplugged, has lost power, or is turned off; you must wait about 5 minutes before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, damage may occur and or the appliance may not start.

Vacations

• Short vacations: Leave the appliance operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
• Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all items and unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door open slightly: blocking it open if necessary.

Moving your Wine Cellar

1. Remove all contents and store properly.
2. Securely tape down all loose items inside your appliance.
3. Turn the leveling screw up to the base to avoid damage.
4. Tape the doors shut.
5. Be sure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation. Also protect the outside of appliance with a blanket, or similar item.

Energy Saving

• The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances, and out of the direct sunlight.
• Try not to open the door too often, especially when weather is hot and humid.
• Periodically check to make sure the appliance is sufficiently ventilated.
