Damages due to power surges are not considered a manufacturer covered defect and will void your product warranty.
OPERATING THE UNIT
Initial Use
Plug in and switch on the cellar by pressing on the power button
for a few seconds.
When you use the wine cellar for the first time (or restart the wine cellar after having it shut off for a long time), there will
be a few degrees variance between the temperature you have selected 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 cellar is running for a few hours everything will
stabilize.
IMPORTANT:
If the unit is unplugged, power is lost, or turned off, wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit. The
wine cellar will not start if you attempt to restart before this time delay.
Operating Noises
To reach the desired temperature settings, Cavavin wine cellars and beverage centers, like all units operating with
compressors and fans, may produce the following types of noises. These noises are normal and may occur as follows:
−
Gurgling sound -
caused by the refrigerant flowing through the appliance’s coils.
−
Cracking/popping sounds -
resulting from the contraction and expansion of the refrigerant gas to produce
cold.
−
Fan operating sound -
to circulate the air within the wine cellar.
An individual’s perception of noise is directly linked to the environment in which the wine cellar is located, as well the
specific type of models. Cavavin wine cellars and beverage centers are in line with international standards for such
appliance. Cavavin will always do its utmost to satisfy its customers but will not retake possession of the goods due to
complaints based on normal operating noise occurrences.
Loading the Wine Bottles
You may load your wine bottles in single or double rows while taking note of the following: if you do not have enough
bottles to fill your wine
cellar, it is better to distribute the load throughout the wine cellar so as to avoid “all on top” or “all
below” type loads.
−
Do remove or relocate adjustable wooden shelves to accommodate larger type of bottles or increase the
capacity of the cellar by stacking the bottles up when necessary. (See removing shelves)
−
Keep small gaps between the walls and the bottles to allow air circulation. Like an underground cellar air
circulation is important to prevent mold and for a better homogeneous temperature within the cellar.
