Before First Use

You must allow the appliance to settle for at least twenty four hours prior to switching the power on.

It is recommended that you remove all internal and external packaging and clean the interior of the appliance prior to first use, using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and warm water and then thoroughly dry the interior.

The appliance may have an odour to it at first use. This will disappear as the appliance cools.

Please note:

• The appliance will work continuously until it gets to the correct temperature.
- If the appliance is switched off, you should allow five minutes before switching it on again to prevent the risk of unnecessary damage to the compressor.
- The LED display may not show the selected temperature whilst the appliance first gets to the correct temperature. This is normal, and the display will be corrected automatically once the appliance has run for a few hours.

Use

• Only store wine in sealed containers.
- Do not overload the cabinet.
• Only open the door when necessary.
- Do not cover the shelves with aluminium foil or anything else that will prevent air from circulating around the cabinet.
• To prevent damage to the door seal, ensure the door is fully open before removing the shelves.
• This is a self-defrosting appliance. The compressor will not run during the thirty minute defrost cycle.
- Do not pull the shelves beyond the anti-stop position (approximately one third out) when fully loaded.
• This appliance is intended to be used exclusively for the storage of wine.
- In the event of a power failure, leave the door closed as much as possible to maintain the internal working temperature. Should the power failure continue for a prolonged period, you should take steps to protect the contents of the wine cooler against a rise in temperature. The wine cooler will remember the selected temperature settings and revert to these settings once the power is restored.

This appliance is suitable for use in an extended temperature climate (N) and has a normal operating ambient temperature of 16-32C. Use of the appliance below 10C may cause performance issues that are not indicative of a fault. Normal operation will resume once the appliance is within the specified range.

Use

Humidity Control

The wine coolers are equipped with a humidity control system to maintain optimal humidity within the wine cooler.

Fill the humidity reservoir approximately 3/4 full with water.

Place the reservoir on the runners on the top shelf as shown in fig. 5. Ensure it is located correctly to prevent water spillage.

Check the water level regularly and refill if required.

Temperature display

The temperature display will show the current internal temperature.

The display flashes:

- When a different temperature is being set

- If the internal temperature is +/- 5^ away from the set temperature. This serves as a warning to prevent damage to the contents of the appliance should the temperature be too high.

Dynamic Cooling and Silent modes

The appliance has two different running modes.

- Silent mode

Once the required temperature is reached, the appliance will run without the fan.. The wine cooler is factory set to silent mode.

To change to dynamic cooling mode, touch and hold the down key for approximately five seconds. The wine cooler will beep five times to confirm dynamic cooling is on.

• Dynamic cooling mode

The fan cycles on and off to circulate the air even after the required temperature is reached. This ensures consistent humidity and temperature distribution in the wine cooler, creating perfect conditions for long term storage.

Using the dynamic mode increases the level of noise in operation.

To change to silent mode, touch and hold the up key for approximately five seconds. The wine cooler will beep three times to confirm silent mode is on.

Sabbath mode

Sabbath mode is available for the observance of certain religious holidays. This will switch off the displays, interior light and audible alarms. The cooling process will continue.

To switch the Sabbath mode on, touch and hold the power and light keys simultaneously for five seconds. The indicator light will flash four times and confirm the Sabbath mode is on. Sabbath mode will switch off automatically after 96 hours, but to switch the Sabbath mode off at any time, touch and hold the power and light keys simultaneously for five seconds.

Door alarm

The wine cooler is equipped with an alarm that will sound if the door is left open for more than 60 seconds. To switch off the alarm, press Ⓐ. If the temperature has risen beyond the set temperature, the display will flash until the zone has returned to the required temperature.

Interior light

The wine cooler has two options for the interior lights. To change from one option to the other, press the Ⓞ.

- Display mode

This mode will leave the interior lights on constantly, allowing you to see the contents of the wine cooler at a glance at any time.

• Energy saving mode

This mode only switches on the interior light when the door is opened.

Care and Cleaning

Always disconnect the appliance from the mains electrical supply before any cleaning or maintenance.

  • Do not use abrasive products or detergents. After washing, rinse and dry thoroughly.
  • The exterior of the appliance and the door seal should be cleaned using mild soapy water and dried thoroughly.
  • The interior cabinet should be cleaned using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water.
  • Clean the shelves separately by hand using soap and water. Do not put them in the dishwasher.
  • Ensure that the cloth is only moist when cleaning the control panel and electrical parts, and that all water is thoroughly dried off before reconnecting the power.
  • Once cleaning is complete, reconnect the mains electrical supply.
  • If the appliance is not to be used for prolonged periods of time, unplug and clean the appliance thoroughly. The door should be left slightly ajar to prevent the formation of odours or condensation.

Removing the shelves

To remove the shelves from the wine cooler, first remove all bottles from the shelf, then pull the shelf forwards until the groove on either side of the shelf is level with the plastic peg on either side of the cabinet (as shown in fig 4). Then lift the shelf up and pull forwards.

To replace the shelves, follow the steps above in reverse order.

Temperature alarm

If the temperature rises or falls outside the set temperature range, an alarm will sound and the display will flash.

  • The wine cooler has not yet reached the set temperature (when first switched on).
    • There has been a power failure.
    • The wine cooler has been overloaded.
    • The door is not closed properly.
