Operation
Switching On Your Unit
1. Connect the mains cable to the mains socket. The
internal temperature of the wine cooler is controlled
by a thermostat. There are 3 settings, MIN, NORMAL,
MAX.
2. After the unit has been on for 20 minutes adjust
the thermostat control dial to NORMAL. This is the
recommended setting when operating at normal room
temperature (between 16°C and 32°C).
3. The unit may not operate at the correct temperature if
it is in a particularly hot or a particularly cold room, or
if you open the door often.
4. To ensure that the unit is cool enough to sufficiently
chill your food, wait 24 hours before filling it with food.
5. If you are concerned that your unit is not being kept
cold enough and wish to check the temperature, you
will need a special fridge/freezer thermometer. These
are available from most supermarkets and hardware
shops.
Place the thermometer in the centre of the unit, where
it can be read easily. Leave overnight, the temperature
in the unit should be between -18°C or lower.
Adjusting the Temperature
The internal temperature of the unit is controlled by a thermostat. MAX position is the coldest
setting and it is used for fast freezing. The recommended position is between MIN and MAX, but
it should be adjusted according to the environment.
Noises Inside the Unit!
You may notice that your unit makes some unusual noises. Most of these are perfectly normal,
but you should be aware of them!
These noises are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant liquid in the cooling system. It has
become more pronounced since the introduction of CFC free gases. This is not a fault and will
not affect the performance of your unit. This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the
refrigerant around the system.
