8. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning your appliance (something that should be done regularly), disconnect it by removing
the plug or by pulling the fuse on the circuit.
Before using your appliance for the first time and regularly after that, we recommend that you clean the
inside and outside (front, side and top) with warm mixed with a gentle cleaning product. Rinse with clean
water and allow drying before reconnecting. Do not use solvents or abrasives.
When the appliance is switched on for the first time, there may be a residual odor. In that case, runt the
appliance empty for a few hours at the coldest possible temperature. The cold will kill any odors.
In case of a power cut
Most power cuts are resolved within a short time. A power cut of 1 or 2 hours will not affect the
temperature in your cabinet. To protect your wines during a power cut, avoid opening the door as much
as possible. During very long power cuts, take the necessary measures to protect your wine.
•
If the appliance is disconnected or if there is a power cut, you must wait three to five minutes before
re- starting. If you try to re-start before this time, the compressor will only re-start after 3 to 5 minutes
(if the temperature requires).
•
When switching on for the first time or following a prolonged shutdown, it is possible that when re-
starting, the temperatures selected and those displayed are not the same. This is normal. It will take
a few hours before they stabilize.
Vacation time
•
Short vacations: leave the wine cooler operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
•
Long vacations: if the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all items and turn off
the appliance. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door
open slightly: blocking it open if necessary.
Moving your wine cooler
•
Remove all items.
•
Securely tape down all loose items (shelves) inside your appliance.
•
Turn the adjustable leg up to the base to avoid damage.
•
Tape the door shut.
•
Be sure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation. Also protect outside
of appliance with a blanket, or similar item.
9. IN THE EVENT OF A BREAKDOWN
Despite the care we take during production, a breakdown can never be totally ruled out. Before contacting
your retailer’s after-sales department, please check that:
•
The appliance is properly plugged in
•
There is not a power cut in progress
•
The breakdown is not one of those described in the table at the end of this manual
IMPORTANT: if the power cable supplied is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, a
service centre approved by the brand or the retailer. In all events, it must be replaced by qualified
personnel in order to avoid any risk of injury.
