6. If you are concerned that the temperature display of wine
cooler is not correct and wish to check the temperature
you will need a special fridge/freezer thermometer.
You may also need a hygrometer to check the humidity
of your wine cooler. These are available from most
supermarkets and hardware shops.
Place the thermometer and hygrometer on the middle
shelf of the wine cooler, where it can be read easily. Leave
overnight, compare the temperature of the thermometer
and the display in the wine cooler. The humidity in the
wine cooler should be between 50%-80% RH depending
on the type of wine.
Operation
Switching On Your Wine Cooler
1. Press the
POWER
button to switch on the Wine Cooler.
2. You can select the temperature display setting from Fahrenheit to Celsius degrees by pressing the °C/°F
button. When Fahrenheit is selected, the °F indicator will illuminate on the display. When Celsius is
selected, the °C indicator will illuminate on the display.
3. You can turn the interior light on or off by pressing the button.
4. You can set the temperature in the chamber by pressing the or button. The selected temperature
will show in the
SET CHAMBER
display while the actual temperature will be shown in the
CHAMBER
display. The temperature will then gradually adjust to your selected temperature.
5. The temperature can be set from 5°C to 22°C. You can increase or decrease 1°C (or 1°F) with each press
of the or button. To avoid frost build up, the temperature should be set above 7°C when the
ambient temperature is above 28°C.
When you use the wine cooler for the first time or restart the wine cooler after having been shut off
for a long time, there could be a few degrees variance between the temperature you select and the
one indicated on the display. This is normal and it due to the length of the activation time. Once the
wine cooler is running for a few hours everything will be back to normal.
Using the Humidifier
Using the humidifier can protect wine from too much or too less humidity. If your wine cooler is too dry
(below 50% RH), the cork dries up. The air can get into the wine and alter its composition.
The humidity of the wine cooler can’t be too high (above 80% RH), as the humidity damages the cork and
the smell of the cork will go into the wine.
