INSTALLATION

Location

When selecting a position for your unit make sure the floor is flat and firm, and that the room is well ventilated with an average room temperature of between 10°C and 32°C. Avoid locating your unit near a heat source, e.g. a cooker, boiler or radiator. Avoid direct sunlight.

If you are placing your unit in an outbuilding such as a garage or annex ensure that the unit is placed above the damp course, otherwise condensation will occur on the cabinet. Never place the unit in a wall recess or into fitted cabinets or furniture.

Free Space Requirements

When installing the unit, ensure that 25 mm of free space is left at both sides, 50 mm at the rear of the unit and 25 mm at the top of the unit. Please ensure there is more than twice the width and depth distance space of the unit to fully open the door to a maximum angle.

Cleaning Before Use

Wipe the inside of the unit with a weak solution of bicarbonate soda. Then rinse with warm water using a ‘wrung-out’ sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before replacing the shelves and bottle rack. Clean the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth.

If you require more information refer to the Cleaning section.

• Before Plugging in YOU MUST

Check that you have a socket which is compatible with the plug supplied with the unit.

• Before Turning On!

Do not turn on until two hours after moving the unit. The coolant fluid needs time to settle.

Before Using Your Unit

Before placing any wine in the unit, turn it on and wait for 24 hours, to make sure it is working properly and to allow it time to fall to the correct temperature. Your unit should not be overfilled.

Operation

Switching On or Off Your Wine Cooler

Connect the mains cable to the mains socket. The wine cooler will automatically turn on.

Adjusting the Temperature

Press and repeatedly to adjust the temperature.

At normal room temperature (16°C to 25°C, or 60°F to 90°F), the unit’s operating temperature can be set between 8°C to 18°C.

Changing between Fahrenheit and Celsius

Press °C/°F to choose Celsius or Fahrenheit.

Switching On or Off the Internal Light

The wine cooler’s light does not automatically illuminate when you open the door. It also does

not automatically switch off when you close the door.

Press to switch on or off the internal light.

When you use the wine cooler for the first time or restart the wine cooler after having been shut off for a long time, there could be a few degrees variance between the temperature you select and the one indicated on the display. This is normal and is due to the length of the activation time. Once the wine cooler is running for a few hours everything will be back to normal.

If you are concerned that the temperature display of wine cooler is not correct and wish to check the temperature you will need a special fridge/freezer thermometer. You may also need a hygrometer to check the humidity of your wine cooler. These are available from most supermarkets and hardware shops.

Place the thermometer and hygrometer on the middle shelf of the wine cooler, where it can be read easily. Leave overnight, compare the temperature of the thermometer and the display in the wine cooler. The humidity in the wine cooler should be between 50%-80% RH depending on the type of wine.

Stacking the Wine Bottles

When placing the bottles into the wine cooler, make sure there is no contact with the back inner surface.

Max Capacity: 8 bottles

Storing Wine in Your Wine Cooler

By using a wine cooler thermometer you can ensure a constant temperature of around 8°C -

18°C, which is ideal for storing wine. Make sure that the bottles are lying on their sides. This ensures that the wine inside is in contact with the cork, which stops the cork from drying out, shrinking, letting air in and spoiling the wine. After a bottle has been opened, the wine comes into contact with air which will start to oxidise the wine. This generally occurs on the wine’s contact surface, leaving the remaining wine in good condition. By leaving your bottle standing, you minimise the surface area of the wine which is in contact with air.

If you’re serving white, rose or sparkling wine, chill it lightly for at least 2 hours in the wine cooler before serving. Most reds should be served at room temperature, or in the case of lighter reds like Beaujolais, very slightly chilled.

Opened wine will remain in good condition for up to 2 days (for delicate whites), or 3 days (for rich reds), as long as the bottle is resealed and stored in your wine cooler. Special stoppers that keep sparkling wine and champagne bubbling for 1 or 2 days after opening can be bought at most good wine shops. When storing leftover wine, attempt to minimise the oxidation process of the wine. You can use a ‘vacuum’ which pumps out the air from the bottle leaving it semivacuum. The wine should last for about two weeks.

However, if it is a good quality wine and you intend to finish it within one week, all you’ll need to do is to replace the cork and leave it standing in your wine cooler.

Different wines are best kept at different temperatures.

Filling Your Wine Cooler

When filling your wine cooler the greater the amount of cans and bottles placed inside the wine cooler from room temperature, the longer it will take to cool them to the desired temperature.

You may wish to temporarily adjust the temperature to a lower setting to speed up the cooling process. If you do this remember to return it to the previous setting once the drinks have reached the required temperature in order to conserve energy.

Keep the Door Closed

To prevent cold air from escaping, limit the number of times your open the door.

Cleaning

Cleaning the Inside of the Wine Cooler

There is usually no need to defrost the wine cooler as any ice that is deposited on the back wall will defrost automatically.

• Before cleaning the wine cooler always disconnect the mains supply.

• Remove all the shelves and detachable accessories and wash in warm soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly.

• You should clean the interior of the wine cooler with a damp cloth.

• Check that the drain outlet at the rear wall of the wine cooler compartment is clear of debris as this will affect the automatic defrosting.

• Empty the water collection tray at the back of the unit. Rinse and dry thoroughly before replacing.

• Do not let liquid get into the controls or the light.

• It may be necessary to periodically wipe the bottom part of the storage area.

• Never clean the appliance parts with flammable fluids. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.

• Do not store or use gasoline or any other flammable vapours and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire or explosion.

Cleaning the Outside of the Wine Cooler

Use a damp cloth to clean the wine cooler exterior and a glass cleaner to clean the door. Make sure that the door is closed, to prevent cleaners from getting on the magnetic door seal or inside.

Maintenance

Changing the Internal Light

This is not a user-serviceable part. Please contact a qualified engineer to replace the internal light for you.

Care When Handling

Ensure the unit is empty and all loose items are secured before moving it. Hold the wine cooler around its sides or base when moving it. Under no circumstances should it be lifted by holding the edges of the top surface.

Installation

Don’t cover or block the sides of your wine cooler. - Keep out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources.

Servicing

This wine cooler should be serviced by a qualified service agent and only genuine spare parts should be used. Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the wine cooler yourself.

Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunctioning.

Switching Off for Long Periods of Time

When the wine cooler is not in use for a long period of time, disconnect it from the mains supply, empty all wine and clean the wine cooler. Leave the door ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.

Condensation

Condensation may appear on the outside of the wine cooler. This maybe due to a change in room temperature. Wipe off any moisture residue. If the problem continues, please contact a qualified service agent for assistance.

Disposal

Old units still have some residual value. An environmentally friendly method of disposal will ensure that valuable raw materials can be recovered and used again.

Up to date information concerning options of disposing of your old unit and packaging from the new one can be obtained from your local council office.

If your unit is fitted with a lock, to prevent children from being trapped inside, keep the key out of reach and not in the vicinity of the unit.

When disposing of an old unit break off any old locks or latches and remove the door as a safeguard.
