Noises during operation
The wine cellar is cooled by means of a
compression system. In order to maintain
the preset temperature inside the wine
cellar, the compressor comes into operation
in response to the level of cooling required,
and may operate continuously if necessary.
When the compressor starts to function, it
creates a buzzing noise which generally
diminishes in intensity after a few minutes.
Another normal wine cellar operating noise
is a gurgling due to the refrigerant flowing
through the pipes in the circuit. This noise is
normal and does not indicate an appliance
malfunction.
Turning the appliance off
Whenever the appliance is to remain
unused for long periods, it should be
switched off.
1. Press and hold the ON/OFF
key
on the control panel for a few seconds
until the appliance turns off.
2. Unplug the appliance from the wall
socket.
3. Empty the wine cellar.
4. Dry any residual moisture which has
accumulated with a soft cloth.
5. Leave the door ajar to prevent the
humidity and trapped air from creating
unpleasant smells.
3.7 Alarms
Each alarm consists of a message flashing
on the display, the
Alarm
key lighting
up and an audible warning.
The display continues to flash until the alarm
condition finishes.
• To deactivate the alarm, press the
Alarm
key.
Temperature alarm
The temperature on the display may start to
flash. This means that the temperature inside
the wine cellar compartment is too high or
too low in relation to that set.
This may occur:
• when the appliance is first turned on;
• if a temperature much higher or much
lower than the previous one is set;
• if the wine cellar is loaded with many
bottles at ambient temperature;
• in the event of an extended interruption
in mains voltage.
The alarms help protect the wine
from temperatures which could
compromise its quality.
