Eco Demo mode can be activated by presenting the
appliance at exhibitions or in salesrooms. In Eco Demo
mode, the compressor and all fan motors are switched
OFF.
By pressing and holding the “
UP
”&“
DOWN
” (The controls
of lower zone for dual zone & three zone models) and
“
LIGHT
” keys at the same time for at least 5 seconds,
the indicator light will flash five times to confirm the input
and the unit will operate in Eco Demo mode. Eco Demo
mode can be exited by repeating the above process.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Operating Noises
The unit 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 appliance’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 cabinet.
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 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.
An individual’s perception of noise is directly linked to
the environment in which the unit is located, as well the
specific type of models. Our appliances 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 unit is designed with an automatic defrost system.
During the “Off-cycle” the evaporator behind the rear wall
of the unit defrosts automatically. The condensate
collects in the drain trough behind the rear wall of the
unit, 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
unit for humidity purposes.
This system enables the creation of the correct humidity
level inside your unit required by the natural cork to
maintain a long lasting seal.
The appliance is not totally sealed: fresh air admission is
permitted through the drainpipe. Air is circulated through
the unit by means of a fan / fans and the hollow shelves.
NOTE:
Frost may be accumulated on the evaporator if
the unit is repeatedly opened in a high heat or high
humidity location. If this frost pattern does not clear within
24 hours, your unit will require manual defrosting.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
Failure to unplug the appliance during
service and cleaning could result in electrical shock or
other personal injury.
REMOVING SHELVES
To remove any of the shelves from the rail compartment,
move the shelf to the position where the notch of wooden
shelf is exactly under the plastic post and then lift it up
and pull out.
In order to replace the shelf, repeat steps described
above in reverse. And make sure to engage the shelves
with the small pegs of the extended rails when the model
is equipped with roller system.
HUMIDITY CONTROL
The appliance is equipped with a system for maintaining
the correct level of humidity. Under extremely dry
environmental conditions, you may have to add some
water into the humidity box provided with your wine
cellar.
Fill the small plastic reservoir (humidity box) ¾ full with
water, and fit onto the runners found on the top shelf of
the appliance. Check the water level regularly and refill
as necessary.
Please ensure the reservoir is positioned correctly on the
runners on the top shelf to avoid the possibility of water
spillage.
