Compatibility (EMC).



INSTALLATION

Before using your wine cabinet

- Remove the exterior and interior packing.

-

IMPORTANT

: Before connecting the wine cabinet to the power source, let it stand upright for at least 12 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.

- Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.

Before installation, turn the unit off and unplug it from the outlet.

NOTE

To protect the appliance in transit and delivery the door is packed tightly against the cabinet. When first installed this can mean the door seal appears thinner on one side of the door due to compression, this is normal and once out of the box it will relax over a short period of time and the door will return to the normal position. If you wish to speed up the process you can gently warm the seal with a hair dryer on a low temperature setting. This can help relax the seal helping it return to normal thickness a little faster.

INSTALLATION OF YOUR WINE CABINET

- Place your wine cabinet on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded.

- To level your wine cabinet, adjust the front levelling leg at the bottom of the cabinet.

- Ensure it is perfectly level, as this will minimise any vibrations.

- This appliance uses flammable refrigerant. Never damage the cooling pipework during transportation.

- Locate the wine cooler away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (ovens, hobs, heaters, radiators, etc.).

- Never clean appliance parts with flammable fluids. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion. When disposing your appliance, please choose an authorized disposal site.

- Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.

- It is fitted with a power cord having an earth wire terminating in a 13amp plug.



- Ensure the product is correctly ventilated (see pages 14 & 15).

- Consult a qualified electrician or service engineer if the earthing instructions are not completely understood.

- Plug the wine cabinet into an exclusive, properly installed-grounded wall outlet.

Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) pin from the plug. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or Caple service.

WARNING: INCORRECT EARTHING CAN RESULT IN THE

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

Attention!

- Store wine in sealed bottles

- Do not overload the cabinet

- Do not open the door unless necessary

- Do not cover shelves with aluminium foil or any other shelf material which may prevent air circulation

- Should the wine cabinet be stored without use for long periods it is suggested, after careful cleaning, to leave the door ajar to allow air to circulate inside the cabinet in order to avoid possible formations of condensation, mould or odours.

- Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction;

- Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer;

- Do not damage the refrigerant circuit;

- Do not use electrical appliances inside the storage compartments of the appliance, unless they are the type recommended by the manufacturer



OPERATING YOUR WINE CABINET

Please use the cabinet within ambient temperatures between 16-32ºC, if the ambient temperature is higher or lower than this, it will cause the temperature to fluctuate in the cabinet, possibly preventing it from reaching 5-18ºC.

SETTING THE TEMPERATURE

To set the temperature, connect the power cord to a properly grounded outlet. In the event of a power interruption, the previous temperature setting is automatically erased and it will default to a preset temperature setting of 12°C

Set the desired cooling temperature by pressing the buttons adjacent to the / indicators. Each press of the buttons will scroll through the available temperature settings in increments of 1°C.

The temperature setting can be adjusted from 5°C to 18°C

To view the actual temperature at anytime press and hold the temperature adjustment button (up or down) for approximately 5 seconds, the actual temperature will temporarily flash in the LED display for 5 Seconds. After this it will revert back to the set temperature.

Flashing LED = Cabinet temperature

Steady LED = Set temperature

NOTE

If the unit is unplugged, power lost or turned off, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the wine cabinet will not start.

When you use the wine cabinet for the first time or you restart the cabinet 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 LED readout. This is normal and it is due to the length of the activation time. Once the wine cabinet has been running for a few hours everything will be back to normal.

- Securely tape down all loose items (shelves) inside your appliance.

- Wind the adjustable legs up to the base to avoid damage.

- Tape the door shut.

- Be sure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation.

DEFROSTING/CONDENSATION

Your wine cabinet is designed with an “Auto-cycle” defrost system. When the RUN cycle is OFF, the refrigerated surface of the wine cabinet (interior rear wall) defrosts automatically. The defrosted water is channelled into a drain pan which is located at the back of the cabinet next to the compressor from where it evaporates.

HUMIDITY SYSTEM

The wine cabinet is equipped with a system for maintaining the correct level of humidity. If humidity is too low, insert the small plastic reservoir on to the top shelf.

Fill this reservoir 3/4 full with water. Check the water level occasionally and refill as necessary.
