Operation and Controls
NOTE
: If the appliance is unplugged, encounter power interruption, or turned off, you must wait 3 -5 minutes
before restarting the appliance. If attempted to restart before this time delay, the appliance may not start.
SETTING THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL
•
During normal operation, the temperature display on the control panel shows the temperature inside the
appliance.
•
This refrigerator has two separate temperature zones.
For the beverage refrigerator zone (left), the temperature range can be set between 36ºF -
65
ºF / 2ºC
-
18
ºC.
For the wine refrigerator zone (right), the temperature range can be set between 40ºF -
72
ºF / 5ºC
-
22
ºC
•
When the unit is plugged in for the first time, the unit will power up automatically to the preset defaults. The
preset temperature for the
beverage refrigerator
zone
(left)
is
38
ºF (
3
ºC) and for
the wine refrigerator
zone
is 54ºF (12ºC).
•
You can press the left
zone
UP and DOWN buttons to control the internal temperature of the
beverage
refrigerator
zone and press the right
zone
UP and DOWN buttons to control the internal temperature of
the
wine refrigerator
zone.
•
The temperature that you desire to set will increase 1ºC or 1ºF if you press the UP button once and will
decrease 1ºC or 1ºF if you press the DOWN button once. The display flashes while you make the setting.
•
After the temperature has been set, the display will flash four times before it shows the current internal
temperature of the particular temperature zone.
•
To view the set temperature at any time, press the UP or DOWN button, the set temperature will
temporarily flash in the display for 5 seconds. Then the display shows the current internal temperature
again.
TEMPERATURE MEMORY FUNCTION
In the event of a power interruption (power surge, breaker switch, etc.), the unit can remember the previous
temperature settings. When the power has restored, the temperature display will show the current cabinet
temperature.
INTERIOR LIGHT
The interior light makes it easy to view your
refrigerator contents.
The light can be turned on or off using the
light button on the display.
CABINET SHELVES
NOTE:
Do not cover any part of the shelves with aluminum foil or any other material that will prevent adequate
air circulation within the cabinet.
•
This appliance is equipped with removable shelves. To prevent damage to the door gasket, make sure the
doors are opened completely before pulling the shelves out.
•
For easy
content
access, you must pull the shelves approximately ⅓ out of the railing.
•
The shelves are designed with an emergency stop to prevent them being removed too far when loaded.
•
When removing the shelves out of the railing, make sure to remove all items first.
•
To remove the shelves, pull the shelf forward until the notch aligns with the plastic post. Lift the shelf and
continue to pull the shelf forward until it is completely removed from the internal compartment.
NORMAL SOUNDS
The unit is cooled by a compressor. 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 comes on. 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 appliance’s coils,
• Humming noise made by the 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 cabinet for even temperature distribution and to
save energy. The fan running saves energy by circulating the cool air to avoid the compressor from running
too frequently.
• Unusual noise is normally the result of improper installation.
• Where the unit 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 unit.
