Alarms

door ajar

power fail

If the door has been left open for five (5) minutes, an audible alarm will sound and the door ajar indicator will illuminate on the right side of the display. The mute sounds indicator will blink.

Pressing the mute sounds key or closing the door will acknowledge the alarm and disable the audible portion and the LED indicator until the door is left open another five (5) minutes.

In the event of a power failure or initial power-up, an audible alarm will sound and the power fail indicator on the right side of the display will blink. The mute sounds indicator will blink. Pressing the mute sounds key will acknowledge the alarm and disable the audible portion. All other functions are disabled until the alarm is acknowledged, at which point the power fail indicator is turned off and the unit will resume normal operation.

Sabbath mode is enabled and disabled by pressing and holding the vacation mode key for five

(5) seconds. Temperature display shows “Sb” while in Sabbath mode.

The customer may open or close the door at any time without concern of directly turning on or off any lights, digital readouts, solenoids, fans, valves, compressor, icons, tones or alarms. After power failure, the unit will immediately return to Sabbath mode.

While in Sabbath mode, alarm indicators will not illuminate, nor be accompanied by audible alarms.

For further assistance, guidelines for proper usage and a complete list of models with the Sabbath feature, please visit the web at http:\\www.star-k.org.

Proper Storage

The wine cooler will accommodate 48 bottles (750 ml size). There are five (5) upper racks that will hold eight (8) bottles each and two lower racks that will hold four (4) bottles each. Specially designed wine racks allow for proper horizontal storage of the wine. The cork remains moist which keeps air from entering the bottle.

Stocking Recommendations

The wine racks allow for the proper horizontal storage of wine. The bottles are properly positioned so that the wine remains in contact with the cork to assure that the cork does not become dry. Use the procedure listed below to stock your wine cooler.

White and sparkling wines should be maintained on the bottom to middle racks and red wine on the top racks.

Your wine cooler should be stocked beginning with the bottom rack at the back and working forward staggering the bottles.

Subsequent racks should be stocked similarly, starting with the back of each rack.

Maintenance

Maintaining Your Wine Cooler

Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure efficiency, top performance, and long life. The maintenance intervals listed are based on normal conditions. You may want to shorten the intervals if you have pets or other special considerations.

Exterior Cleaning for Your Stainless

Steel Model

• Your stainless steel model may discolor when exposed to chlorine gas, pool chemicals, salt water, or cleaners with bleach.

• Keep your stainless unit looking new by cleaning with a high quality, all-in-one stainless steel cleaner/polish on a monthly basis. Frequent cleaning will remove surface contamination that could lead to rust. Some installations will require cleaning on a weekly basis.

• DO NOT CLEAN WITH STEEL WOOL PADS.

• DO NOT USE CLEANERS THAT ARE

NOT SPECIFICALLY INTENDED FOR

STAINLESS STEEL (this includes glass, tile and counter cleansers).

• If any surface discolors or rusting appears, clean it quickly with Bon-Ami or Barkeepers

Friend Cleanser and a non-abrasive cloth.

Always clean in the direction of the grain.

Always finish this process with a high quality, all-in-one stainless steel cleaner/polish to prevent further problems.

• USE OF ABRASIVE PADS SUCH AS

SCOTCHBRITE WILL CAUSE THE

GRAINING IN THE STAINLESS TO

BECOME BLURRED.

• Rust that is allowed to linger can penetrate into the surface of the stainless steel and become impossible to remove.

CAUTION

• Stainless steel models exposed to chlorine gas and moisture such as areas with spas or swimming pools, may have some discoloration of the stainless steel.

Discoloration from chlorine gas is normal.

Follow exterior cleaning instructions.

• NEVER USE CHLORIDE OR CLEANERS

CONTAINING BLEACH TO CLEAN

STAINLESS STEEL.
