CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Moving your wine cellar
Remove all items (bottles) and tape down all loose items inside your unit. Turn the adjustable leg up to the base to
avoid damage and tape the door shut. Be sure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation.
If you absolutely need to transport the cellar horizontally, transport the cellar on its back (door on top). Also protect
outside of appliance with a blanket, or similar item.
Energy saving tips
The unit should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances, and out of the direct
sunlight.
Defrosting and Hygrometry
This wine cellar is designed with “Auto-cycle” defrost system. During “Off-cycle” the refrigerated surfaces of the unit
defrost automatically. Defrost water from the storage compartment drains automatically and part of it goes into a
drainage container, which is located at the back of the unit next to the compressor. The heat is transferred from the
compressor and evaporates any condensation that has collected in the pan. Part of the remaining water is collected
within the wine cellar for humidity purposes.
This system enables the creation of the correct humidity level inside your wine cellar required by the natural cork to
maintain a long lasting seal. The water collected by condensation, is therefore recycled. Under extremely dry
environmental conditions, you may have to add some water into the water container provided with your wine cellar.
All units are equipped with a double glazed glass door that has a third internal acrylic layer to minimize condensation
on the glass door.
The wine cellar is not totally sealed; fresh air admission is permitted through the drainpipe. Air is circulated through
the cellar by means of a fan/fans and the hollow shelves. During the refrigerating cycle, heat is given off and disperses
through the external surfaces of the wine cellar. Avoid touching the surfaces during those cycles.
Operation Anomalies
Ensure that there is power to the electrical supply plug by connecting another electrical appliance to it. Check fuse, if
any. Make sure that the door is closed properly.
If your wine cellar appears to be malfunctioning, unplug it and contact your Cavavin’s after sales service. Any
intervention on the cold circuit should be performed by a refrigeration technician who should carry out an inspection of
the circuit sealing system. Similarly, any intervention on the electrical circuit should be performed by a qualified
electrician.
Notes: Any intervention performed by a non-authorized technician by Cavavin will lead to the warranty being
considered as null and void.
Power Failures
In the event of a power interruption, all previous temperature settings are automatically preservation and it will revert
to a pre-set temperature setting.
Most power failures are corrected within a short period of time. An hour or two’s loss of power will not affect wine
cellar’s temperatures. To avoid sudden change of temperature while the power is off, you should avoid opening the
door. For longer period of power failure, do take steps to protect your wine. Irrespective of the cause, if you notice
either abnormal temperature or humidity levels inside your wine cellar, be reassured that only long and frequent
exposure to these abnormal conditions can cause a detrimental effect on your wines.
