Testing the Refrigeration Unit
FRANCISCAN CREDENZA
OPERATING SWITCHES
1. Door adjustments. Not Applicable. Based on the design of the credenza, no door
adjustments are needed.
2. QT controls: The controls on the credenza have been eliminated for a number of reasons.
A. There is no need for the Temperature Equalizer system. Because of the vertical height
of the unit, the temperature between the top and bottom of the unit will not vary
significantly and thus the fan and control switch have been removed.
B. The Condensate Evaporator system is present on the unit and operates in the
automatic mode. This mode turns on the system whenever the cooling unit is operating.
3. Light: Along with the separate control switches, the unit does not come equipped with a
light. A light fixture takes away from the overall bottle capacity while not adding any significant
enhancement to the credenza.
TESTING THE REFRIGERATION UNIT
Do not start or plug-in your unit for 24 hours after delivery. Many units are placed on their
sides during shipping which may allow compressor oil to escape their reservoirs.
Premature starting before the oil has had a chance to resettle can cause damage to the
compressor and result in a lack of cooling.
Before you fill the cabinet with wine, you’ll want to check the operation of the unit. The
cabinet has successfully passed the quality control department at the factory. However,
periodically a unit’s cooling system is damaged in transport. Simply turn the unit on for
approximately one hour and confirm that the temperature is cooling down. This will prevent
the inconvenience of stocking and restocking a damaged unit. If the unit is not working
correctly, contact the Customer Service department immediately. They will work with you
to diagnose the problem and promptly resolve it.
