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 appli-
ance.
When the unit is plugged in for the first time, the unit will power up automatically to the preset defaults. The
preset temperature is 54ºF (12ºC).
You can press the UP and DOWN keys to control the internal temperature of the appliance.
The temperature that you desire to set will increase 1ºC or 1ºF if you press the UP key once and will decrease
1ºC or 1ºF if you press the DOWN key 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 temper-
ature of the particular temperature zone.
To view the set temperature at any time, press the UP or DOWN key, 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 tem-
perature settings. When the power has restored, the temperature display will show the current cabinet tempera-
ture.
INTERIOR LIGHT
The interior light makes it easy to view your wine labels and enhances the display of your collection. Pressing the
LIGHT key toggles between 2 modes of operation for the internal lights: Functional (default) mode and Showcase
mode. If you are in functional (default) mode, the lights will turn on only when the door is open. If you are in Show-
case mode, the lights will be on whether or not the door is open.
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 door is
opened completely before pulling the shelves out.
For easy access of the wine bottles, 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 con-
tinue 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 operat-
ing noise. Even when the compressor cuts out, noises caused by changes in temperature and pressure are una-
voidable. 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 switch-
ing on.
Cracking/popping sounds, resulting from the materials contraction and expansion due to temperature varia-
tions,
Fan operating sound, to circulate the air within the wine cabinet.
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.
