DOOR LOCK
If the unit is provided with a lock system, the keys are
located inside the plastic bag that contains the
Owner’s Manual. Insert the key into the lock, push in
and turn it counterclockwise to unlock the door. To
lock the door do the reverse operation making sure
metal pin is engaged completely. Remove the key and
place it in a secure place for safekeeping.
CLEANING YOUR APPLIANCE
Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove
all items including shelves and rack.
Wash the inside surfaces with a warm water and
baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2
tablespoons of baking soda to a pint of water.
Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution.
Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when
cleaning any area of the controls.
Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild
liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean
soft cloth.
Do not clean the stainless steel with steel wool
pads.
Suggest to using an all-in-one stainless steel
cleaner to clean the stainless steel and always clean
in the direction of grain.
POWER FAILURE
In the event of a power interruption, all previous
temperature settings are automatically memorized. If
power is interrupted (power surge, breaker switch,
etc.) and then powered up again, the unit will operate
with the last temperature set-point.
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours
and should not affect the temperature of your
appliance if you minimize the number of times the
door is opened. If the power is going to be off for a
longer period of time, you need to take the proper
steps to protect your contents.
NOTE:
Irrespective of the cause, if you notice either
abnormal temperature or humidity levels inside your
unit, be reassured that only long and frequent
exposure to these abnormal conditions can cause a
detrimental effect on your wines.
VACATION TIME
Short holidays:
Leave the unit in operation for
holidays of less than three weeks.
Long absences:
If the appliance will not be used for
several months, remove all items, turn off the
appliance and unplug. Clean and dry the interior
thoroughly. To prevent odour and mold growth, leave
the door open slightly: blocking it open if necessary.
MOVING YOUR APPLIANCE
Unplug the power plug from the electrical outlet.
Remove the contents from the racks and all moving
parts from inside.
Raise the adjustable legs up to the base to avoid
damage.
Tape the door shut and lock it if with a lock system.
Transport the wine cellar only in the upright position.
Also protect the outside of the appliance with a
blanket or similar item.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
Should the unit be left empty for long periods of time,
it is suggested that the appliance is unplugged, and
after careful cleaning, leave the door ajar to allow air
to circulate inside the cabinet in order to avoid
possible condensation, mold or odors forming.
The appliance should be installed in the coolest area
of the room, away from heat producing appliances,
and out of the direct sunlight.
Ensure that the unit is adequately ventilated. Never
cover air vents. Clean dust and dirt from the
condenser at regular intervals.
Only open the door for as long as necessary and for
as short a time as possible.
Store the content in an organised way.
Do not over-fill the appliance to allow air to circulate.
