ASSEMBLY

& OPERATION MANUAL

READ BEFORE YOU START

1. LOCATING YOUR WINE CELLAR - Remember, it is not an appliance, it is a piece of furniture

A. Provide 4” minimum clearance for both sides and back, keep the top completely clear.

Under no circumstances should the unit be “built-in” in any way.

B.

Never

humidity.

locate your wine cellar outdoors or in an area with extremes of temperature and

Garages, attics, unfinished basements, laundry rooms, breezeways, closets, bedrooms or any unventilated room. In other words these units must be installed in air-conditioned environments which do not “trap” the warm air being exhausted.

C. Temperatures in surrounding area must not exceed 80 °F (25 °C) with humidity levels not

to exceed 70% R.H. (Relative Humidity). Never set your temperatures below default (57ºF) whenever ambient conditions are warm (above 75ºF) or humid (above 50%R.H.).

D. Outlet power must be a DEDICATED separately fused, grounded, 15 Amp 110 - 120 V line or

7.5 Amp - 240 V line rated for your unit

(CHECK BOX OR SERIAL NUMBER LABEL ON UNIT

FOR YOUR LINE VOLTAGE REQUIREMENTS).

E. You must monitor your unit DAILY. If unit is in “Alarm”, unplug the unit inmediately. Always

check for any water (condensate) leaks.

Vintage Keeper will not be liable or responsible for incidental or consequential damages.

(See Warranty).

F. Place unit in a clean area and allow access to the exterior surfaces for periodic vacuuming

of the condensor coil. (See troubleshooting for details.)

G. Always remove all bottles before relocating your wine cellar.

2. AREA FOR ASSEMBLING YOUR WINE CELLAR

Choose a clear 12’ by 12’ area with a level floor and carpeting to help reduce scratching of surfaces.

3. TOOLS

* Hex wrench (included)

* Phillips screwdriver

* Carpenter’s level

* Helper or two is strongly recommended

4. TEST THE COOLING UNIT

Plug it in for a few minutes on a table top, to verify that controls and display are functional, and that

the unit is producing cool air after a few minutes of operation.

Note that the electronic controller has a one-minute cautionary delay between initial plug-in and

start-up of the compressor.

NOTE: Fill out the WARRANTY REGISTRATION FORM with the serial number located on the LEFT

SIDE of unit.

MAXIMUM CAPACITIES AND LOADING TIPS

Maximum capacities and sample loading arrangements for Vintage Keeper Tuscany wine cellars are illustrated below. Note the variations in shelf height, to accommodate the widest variety of bottle types and sizes. Standard Burgundy and Bordeaux bottles are best arranged with necks facing out; some taller bottles may need to be arranged neck to neck. Never stack bottles more than two rows high on a shelf; all shelves must be installed as directed. Avoid placing bottles directly in front of the cooling unit’s circulating fan for more uniform temperature in cabinet.

TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE

Although each Vintage Keeper cooling unit has been carefully tested at every stage of manufacture, occasional problems arise, the majority of which are due to rough or careless handling during shipping or installation. Other problems may derive from improper cabinet assembly, power interruption or surge, low line voltage (less than your unit rating of 105V or 240V), or failure to clean the unit regularly (see illustration below). The following may help you determine what the problem may be; what steps you can take to correct it, and what further steps may be required. Additional Trouble-Shooting information and downloadable documents are available in the “Support” area of our web site:

www.koolspace.com

Cleaning the coil

Coil is located at the top of back panel.

Vacuum it periodically

IMPORTANT NOTE:

In order to provide maximum protection for your valuable wine collection, the following steps are highly advisable.

First and foremost, have your wine collection adequately insured. Second, install a battery-powered heat-sensitive alarm to warn of any loss of cooling due to power interruption. Third, monitor your storage and ambient conditions on a regular, daily basis. Fourth, install a high quality surge suppressor to protect against sudden power fluctuations. Fifth, clean the unit as directed, on a regular basis, every 3 to 4 months vacuum the cooling unit coils (check our website for more info).

Sixth make sure to check water level in the

DRAIN CUP periodically and empty. Be advised, also, that Drobot-Vintage

Keeper cannot in any event be liable or responsible for incidental or consequential damages.

IF: CHECK: THEN:

- Is the unit plugged in?

COOLING UNIT

DOES NOT RUN

AT ALL WHEN

PLUGGED IN

- Is the power supply operational?

- Is the LED display functional?

- Is there any evidence of shipping

damage on the cooling unit or

packaging materials?

- Note that the unit has a 1-minute cautionary delay

between plugging in and full start-up; this is a built-in

safeguard to protect the compressor in the event of

sudden power failure

- Note that the power supply must be a dedicated,

separately-fused and grounded 15 Amp, 120V line or 7.5

_Amp, 240 V line rated for your unit. Must not use an extension cord. Do not share the outlet with other appliances

- If the unit is receiving power yet fans or compressor fail

to run, unplug for ten minutes, then try again

COOLING UNIT

RUNS BUT DOES

NOT COOL

SUFFICIENTLY

- Is the storage temp properly

set?

- Is the cabinet properly

assembled, with all joints air

tight?

- Is the door properly adjusted to

seal tightly when closed?

- Is airflow to and from the

cooling unit unobstructed?

- Is the ambient air temperature

within the specified range?

- Are any exterior surfaces of the

cabinet exposed to sunlight?

- Note that the unit may take a few days to achieve the

desired storage temperature, even in a properly located,

airtight cabinet

- Take steps to reduce ambient temperatures and

compensate for additional heat gain if any cabinet walls

receive direct sunlight

- If gaps are visible at any panel joints, ensure that you

have tightened all cams in all panels, to ensure

an airtight seal as detailed in our instructions

- Take steps to improve circulation of air to and from the unit

- Adjust the door, if necessary, to seal tightly by

re-positioning the upper hinge and improving the cabinet

level

- Increase your SET TEMPERATURE

- Clean the fan and grille areas

- If the problem persists, go to our website at

www.koolspace.com and perform the “cooling unit

diagnostic” in the support section.

WHAT MUST YOU DO?

Your unit is designed to perform with a minimum amount of user maintenance when

installed and operated precisely as directed in

the manual. You are, however, responsible for the required user maintenance described in the manual, specifically, regular cleaning of the condensor coil and fans. Also, you must take steps to protect the unit from sudden power surges. As with any sensitive electronic device, your Koolspace unit may be damaged by power surges or spikes, including lightning strikes, acts of god, sudden interruptions or prolonged low-voltage conditions, which are not covered by this Warranty. You must monitor your unit’s performance on a daily basis.

It is your responsibility to insure your wine, and to take all reasonable and necessary precautions to safeguard its condition.

WHAT THE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER

This warranty covers only defects in materials and workmanship provided by VINTAGE KEEPER INC. and does not cover equipment damage or malfunction from misuse, abuse, accident, act of God, or any unauthorized alteration or modification. The product must have been installed and operated precisely as directed in the manual which accompanies each product. Improper return shipping, inadequate packaging or shipping damage is not covered unless the unit is packaged and shipped in accordance with Koolspace replacement procedures. Third party servicing of this product during the warranty period will also void the warranty, as will any evidence of tampering or alteration to the serial number and or the original dated bill of sale.

REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR ARE YOUR ONLY REMEDIES

YOUR ONLY REMEDY UNDER THIS WARRANTY IS THE REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR OF YOUR ELIGIBLE PRODUCT AS DESCRIBED ABOVE. NEITHER

THIS WARRANTY NOR ANY OTHER WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF

MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, SHALL EXTEND BEYOND THE ONE-YEAR WARRANTY PERIOD. UNDER NO

CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL VINTAGE KEEPER INC. BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR FOR ANY

CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING SPOILAGE OF WINE, EVEN IF VINTAGE KEEPER INC. KNOWS OR IS INFORMED THAT SUCH DAMAGES

ARE POSSIBLE. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO INSURE YOUR WINE, AND TAKE ALL REASONABLE, NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS TO SAFEGUARD

ITS CONDITION. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE

ABOVE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. NO RESELLER IS AUTHORIZED TO MODIFY THE TERMS OF THIS WARRANTY. ANY

ADDITIONAL WARRANTY OFFERED BY A RESELLER IS THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THAT RESELLER.

SERVICE AFTER YOUR WARRANTY EXPIRES
