- There can be an odour when you first switch on the appliance. It will lessen as the appliance starts to cool.

During first use

- When you first switch on the appliance, the compressor will run continuously until the wine cooler reaches a cool enough temperature.

During this period of time, you should try not to open the door frequently or place bottles inside of the appliance.

- If the unit is switched off or unplugged, you must allow at least 5 minutes before restarting the appliance or reconnecting it to your mains supply.

Switching on the appliance and setting the temperature

o Press the ON/OFF button (R) to switch on the appliance.

o The temperature for each zone will need to be set individually.

- Use the temperature increase and temperature decrease buttons to set the temperature that you require. Each press of these buttons will adjust the temperature on the temperature displays by one degree.

- Whilst you are setting the temperature of the cooling zone, the relevant temperature display will flash. When you stop pressing the temperature buttons, after a few seconds the display will stop flashing and the temperature of the cooling zone will be set.

- For a few seconds, the temperature display will show the temperature that you have set, before returning to show the temperature that is currently being registered by the cooling zone.

Changing between Fahrenheit and Celsius

- You can select whether the temperature displays show Celsius or Fahrenheit. The Celsius/Fahrenheit temperature neons will light to show whether Celsius or Fahrenheit is currently shown on the temperature displays.

To alter what the temperature displays are showing, press the Celsius/Fahrenheit selector button (Q).

- You cannot change the display if you are in the process of adjusting the temperature of a cooling zone.

Interior light

To operate the interior light, you should press the light ON/OFF button (K) for the lower zone or the light ON/OFF button (F) for the upper zone.

Storage temperature neons

- The control panel has four storage temperature neons; these indicate which type of wine is most suited to being stored in the temperature zone at the current temperature setting.

○ If the neon (G) is lit, this means that the lower compartment is achieving a temperature of between 10 - 13°C. This is most suitable for dry / white wines.

- If the neon (H) is lit, this means that the lower compartment is achieving a temperature of between 14 - 18°C. This is most suitable for red wines.

- If the neon (I) is lit, this means that the upper compartment is achieving a temperature of between 8 - 10 °C. This is most suitable for dry / white wines.

○ If the neon (J) is lit, this means that the upper compartment is achieving a temperature of between 5 - 7°C. This is most suitable for sparkling wines.

Loading the wine cooler

- IMPORTANT: Your appliance is ideally suited to store 0.75 litre wine bottles. Whilst it can store larger bottles, you must make sure that they do not prevent the door from shutting properly.

○ Always check that you can close the door without it fouling on a wine bottle, before shutting it.

- When loading several bottles of wine at once, it will take longer for the appliance to cool the individual bottles.

On each wooden shelf, it is possible to stack bottles of wine on top of each other. This will allow you to fit 46 bottles of wine in the appliance, without purchasing additional wooden shelves.

Storing your wines

The chart below indicates the ideal storage temperatures for different types of wine:-

Type of wine Temperature (Celsius)		Temperature (Fahrenheit)
Red wine (*) 15.5 - 18.5°C 59.9 - 65.3°F
White wine (**) 10 - 15°C 50 - 59°F
Sparkling wines/champagne	7.2 - 9.5°C 45 - 49.1°F
Rose wine 9.5 - 10.5°C 49.1 - 50.9°F
Vintage wine 13°C 55°F

* Light red wines, such as Beaujolais, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Franc benefit from being served slightly cooler than full-bodied reds.
** Chardonnay is often served too cold. You should chill it at a warmer temperature inside of your wine cooler. Or leave it to warm slightly when you remove it from your wine cooler.
o Temperature stability is the most important factor when it comes to storing wine.
- Exposure to light, vibrations or fluctuations in temperature and humidity can all cause wine to spoil. When properly stored, wines not only maintain their quality but many will actually improve in aroma, flavour and complexity as they mature.
- Wines kept at a higher temperature will age faster. Wine that is exposed to temperatures that are greater than 21°C (70°F) will suffer from poorer flavour and aroma.
- If wine is kept at too low a temperature, this can result in the development of harmful deposits. A humidity of 70% is ideal for keeping corks from shrinking.
- After a bottle of wine has been opened, the wine comes into contact with air. So it is best to store the remainder of the bottle upright, to minimize the surface area of the wine that is coming into contact with the air.
Once opened, wine will remain in a drinkable condition for two days for delicate whites or three days for rich reds, as long as the bottle as been resealed. You should make sure that the seal is firm by checking the stopper.

o Special stoppers that keep wine sparking and Champagne bubbling for one or two days after opening, can be bought at most good wine shops.
- When stored correctly, white wines can keep well for up to two years. Full bodied reds will age well for ten years and dessert wines will age well for up to twenty years.
- When you buy a bottle of wine, you should transfer it to a suitable storage location immediately (if you are not going to store it in your wine cooler).
- Cheaper bottles of wine will not age as well as more expensive ones.
To make the most of the bouquet and taste of your wine, never fill more than half a glass at a time. It will also help if the shape of your wine glass is appropriate for your wine. The size and shape of your wine glass's bowl will determine the intensity and complexity of the bouquet. The stem should be long enough to allow you to avoid hand contact with the bowl of the glass and should be tulip-shaped or tapered at the top.

Wine storage problems

Corking- a tiny percentage of bottled wine (about 1%) will suffer from this. The cork reacts with the wine and gives it a musty, unpleasant taste. It is the most common wine storage problem and is caused by harmless bacteria growing on the cork. As unfortunate as this is, there is nothing to do but to discard all of the wine in the affected bottle. This is not to be confused with small fragments of cork floating in the wine itself, which will not impair the flavour.

Oxidisation- when wine has been opened and left for longer than a day; it tends to lose its aroma and colour, giving an overall flat taste. The only way to avoid this, it to either drink the wine on the same day it was opened or to use a vacuum device specially designed for removing oxygen from opened wine bottles. If you use such a device, the wine should still be consumed shortly afterwards.

Ullage- this is loss of wine from the bottle by evaporation or leakage. Signs of ullage include wine seeping around the cork, a protruding cork or a stained label. It can happen if the bottle has been allowed to get too warm. The wine may still be drinkable, if the leakage was recent; however, you should be aware that if the wine cools down again, contraction can cause more air to be sucked into the bottle and result in further deterioration.

Slight effervescence in still wine- this isn't really a problem with the way the wine has been stored, but as a result of incomplete malolactic fermentation before the wine was bottled. A good way to get rid of the effervescence is to let the wine breathe. Alternatively you can use a bottle vacuum device, after about five minutes the effervescence will vanish.

Sediment- this is not normally a problem, however both red and white wines can produce sediment after a number of months in a bottle. The sediment consists of tartrate crystals and is totally harmless. If anything the building of sediment can be considered a good sign because it means that the wine was not subjected to much (if any) filtering, meaning that the flavours and aromas should be preserved better.

A good way to get around sediment (if it is a problem) is to stand the bottle upright, the day before opening, so that the sediment can settle to the bottom of the bottle.

You can also decant your wine; decanting will "open up" the flavour of both young and old wines, but younger wines in particular. To decant, pour the wine slowly and evenly into your decanter.

Cleaning and maintenance

WARNING: PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOUR APPLIANCE IS DISCONNECTED FROM YOUR MAINS SUPPLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CLEAN IT.

- Do not clean the appliance by pouring water onto it or spraying water over it.

- The interior of the wine cooler should be cleaned periodically, using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water.

- Clean the accessories separately with soap and water. Do not clean them in a dishwasher.

- Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps.

• After washing the appliance, wipe over the area that you have cleaned with a damp cloth and then dry it thoroughly.
• When cleaning is complete, dry your hands and then reconnect the plug to your mains supply.

Defrosting

• Defrosting occurs automatically inside of the wine cooler during operation. The defrost water is collected by the evaporating tray and evaporates automatically.
• The evaporating tray and defrost water drain hole should be cleaned periodically. This will prevent water from collecting in the bottom of the wine cooler, instead of flowing down the defrost drainage channel and drain hole.
• You can also pour a small amount of water down the drain hole to clean inside of it.
• You should be careful to make sure that wine bottles touch the rear wall of the appliance, as this can interrupt the automatic defrosting process and deflect water into the base of your wine cooler.

Installation

IMPORTANT: Before installation and usage read all the instructions and make sure that the voltage (V) and the frequency (Hz) indicated on the rating plate are exactly the same as the voltage and frequency in your home. The rating plate can be found on the front left edge of the inside of the wine cooler.

The manufacturer declines all responsibility in the event of the installer failing to observe all the accident prevention regulations in force, which are necessary for normal use and the regular operation of the electric system.

• In particular the depth dimension must be observed.
  ○ IMPORTANT: The vent at the base of the appliance is for ventilation. Nothing should be placed in front of this vent; otherwise your wine cooler may not operate properly.

Reversing the door of your wine cooler

This appliance has the capability of the door opening from either the left or right hand side.

The unit is delivered to you with the door opening from the left side. If you want to reverse the opening direction of the door, please follow the instructions below:

Any parts that you remove from the appliance whilst reversing the door, should be retained for later use.

1) Carefully lay the wine cellar on its back. Use cushioning to protect the floor and the rear of the appliance.
2) Whilst the door is shut, unscrew the two screws holding the bottom hinge to the door and then remove the bottom hinge.
3) Carefully remove the door from the main body of the appliance.
4) Return the appliance to an upright position and then unscrew the top hinge pin and cover, moving them to the opposite side of the appliance.
5) Locate the new bottom hinge provided in the plastic bag inside the wine cooler.
6) Place the door back onto the wine cooler, making sure that it lines up with the top hinge pin.
7) Connect the new bottom hinge to the door and cabinet, you should use the screws that you removed in step 2). These screws should be fully tightened.
8) Keep the original bottom hinge in a safe place, in case that you wish to reverse the door back to its original position.

IMPORTANT: Check that the door opens and shuts correctly, without fouling, after you have completed the door reversal process.

After the door has been reversed, you should check the door seal of the wine cooler. The seal should be creased or crushed; otherwise there will be a gap between it and the inside of the door.

• The seal must adhere properly all the way around the door.
• If the seal is not adhering to the cabinet properly, then you should either:-

a) Use a warm damp cloth and manipulate the seal until it does adhere to the cabinet properly, all the way around the door.

or

b) Use a hair dryer on its lowest heat setting and lightly heat the areas of the door seal that are not adhering correctly. The heat will make the seal more pliable and this will allow you to manipulate the seal into the correct position.
