Clean the shelves with a gentle detergent then dry with a soft
dry cloth.
At the moment of the first use, some odours can persist. In this
case, make functioning the appliance at the coldest tempera-
tures, empty, during a few hours. The cold will cancel all these
possible odours.
Defrosting
• The unit defrosts automatically.
• The evaporator behind the rear wall of the unit defrosts automa-
tically. The condensate collects in the drainage channel behind
the rear wall of the unit, and flows through the drainage hole into
the drip tray by the compressor where it evaporates.
Care and Maintenance
Removing Shelves
• To remove any of the shelves from the rail compartment, move
the shelf to the position where the notch on the shelf is exactly
under the plastic post then lift the shelf to release it. When repla-
cing the shelves, always ensure they are correctly located.
Humidity Control (Optional)
• The wine cooler is equipped with a system for maintaining the
correct level of humidity. Fill the small plastic reservoir (humidity
box) ¾ full with water, and fit onto the runners found on the top
shelf of the wine cooler. Check the water level regularly and refill
as necessary.
• Please ensure the reservoir is positioned correctly on the run-
ners on the top shelf to avoid the possibility of water spillage.
Active Charcoal Filter (Optional)
Replace the active charcoal filter with new one once a year. It
can be purchased from your dealer or from the Spare Parts De-
partment.
• Turn the filter 90°clockwise or anti-clockwise. And then remove
the filter.
• Insert the new filter with the handle in the vertical position.
• Turn the filter 90° clockwise or anti-clockwise until they click
into position.
Cleaning Your Wine Cooler
• Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all items
including shelves and rack.
• Wash the inside surfaces with a warm water and baking soda
solution. The solution should be about 2 tablespoons of baking
soda to a pint of water.
• Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution.
• Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning
any area of the controls.
• Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid deter-
gent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
Power Failure
• Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should
not affect the temperature of your appliance if you minimize the
number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to be
off for a longer period of time, you need to take the proper steps
to protect your contents.
Vacation Time
• Short holidays: Leave the Wine Cooler in operation for holidays
of less than three weeks.
• Long absences: If the appliance will not be used for several
months, remove all items, turn off the appliance and unplug.
Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odour and mold
growth, leave the door open slightly: blocking it open if neces-
sary.
Moving Your Wine Cooler
• Remove all items.
• Securely tape down all loose items (shelves) inside your
appliance.
• Turn the adjustable leg up to the base to avoid damage.
• Tape the door shut.
• Be sure the appliance stays secure in the upright position
during transportation. Also protect outside of appliance with a
blanket, or similar item.
Energy Saving Tips
• The Wine Cooler should be located in the coolest area of the
room, away from heat producing appliances, and out of the direct
sunlight.
• Ensure that the unit is adequately ventilated. Never cover air
vents.
• Only open the door for as long as necessary.
