DYNAMIC CLIMATE / SILENT MODE
This Dynamic Climate mode enables the relative
humidity inside the Wine Cellar and the temperature to be
distributed evenly around the interior so you can store all
your wine under exactly the same excellent conditions. If
you would like to use the Wine Cellar to store wine long
term, the dynamic climate mode is a must. This will
create a continuous climate in the wine cellar
compartment.
In the Dynamic Climate mode, the interior fan circulates
the inside air evenly even the set temperature is reached.
Dynamic Climate mode is
NOT the factory preset mode
because of creating noises and more energy consumption.
To change to Dynamic Climate mode, touch and hold the
DOWN key for approximately five seconds. The wine
cellar will beep five times to confirm Dynamic Climate
mode is on. To change back to default (Silent) mode
(Also named as energy saving mode), touch and hold the
UP key for approximately five seconds. The wine cellar
will beep three times to confirm default (Silent) mode is
on.
SABBATH MODE
Sabbath mode is available for the observance of certain
religious holidays. This mode turns off the displays,
interior light and audible alarms and prevents them from
turning on again. Normal cooling operations will still take
place.
To initiate Sabbath mode, press the
POWER and
LIGHT
keys at the same time for at least 5 seconds. The
indicator light will flash four times and confirm the
Sabbath mode is ON.
Sabbath mode can be exited by repeating the above
process. The Sabbath Mode will automatically exit after
96 hours.
OPERATING NOISES
The Wine Cellar is cooled by a compressor (refrigeration
aggregate). The compressor pumps coolant through the
cooling system, producing operating noise. Even when
the compressor cuts out, noises caused by changes in
temperature and pressure are unavoidable. Operating
noise will be most audible immediately after the
compressor cuts in. It becomes quieter as the operating
period continues.
The following noises are normal and occur from time to
time:
-
Gurgling sound, caused by the refrigerant flowing
through the Wine Cellar’s coils,
-
Humming noise made by the motor compressor. This
noise can get louder for brief periods when the motor is
switching on.
-
Cracking/popping sounds, resulting from the materials
contraction and expansion due to temperature variations,
-
Fan operating sound, to circulate the air within the wine
cellar compartment.
Unusual noise is normally the result of improper
installation. Under no circumstances must tubing come
into contact with a wall, other furniture or with other
tubing.
Where the Wine Cellar is installed in open-plan kitchen or
in partition walls, the level of operating noise will be
heard more acutely. However, this is due to the
surrounding architecture and not to the Wine Cellar.
An individual’s perception of noise is directly linked to the
environment in which the Wine Cellar is located, as well
the specific type of models. Our Wine Cellars are in line
with international standards for such appliance and in
line with the latest technical developments. But please
remember that the noise of the compressor and the
coolant circulating in the system is unavoidable.
DEFROSTING / HYGROMETRY /
VENTILATION
Your Wine Cellar is designed with an automatic defrost
system. During the “Off-cycle” the evaporator behind the
rear wall of the Wine Cellar defrosts automatically. The
condensate collects in the drain trough behind the rear
wall of the Wine Cellar, and part of it flows through the
drainage hole into the drip tray by/above the compressor.
The heat is transferred from the discharge pipe or
compressor and evaporates any condensation that has
collected in the tray. Part of the remaining water is
collected within the Wine Cellar for humidity purposes.
This system enables the creation of the correct humidity
level inside your Wine Cellar required by the natural cork
to maintain a long lasting seal.
The Wine Cellar is not totally sealed: fresh air admission
is permitted through the drainpipe. Air is circulated
through the Wine Cellar by means of a fan / fans and the
hollow shelves.
NOTE:
Frost may be accumulated on the evaporator if
the Wine Cellar is repeatedly opened in a high heat or
high humidity location. If this frost pattern does not clear
within 24 hours, your Wine Cellar will require manual
defrosting.
