Upon completing installation, allow 24 hours to pass before powering up the wine cooler.
During this time, we recommend that you leave the door open to clear any residual odours.
BEFORE LOADING & PLUGGING IN THE wine cooler
Important: All models without front venting (air opening) are strictly for freestanding only (see technical chart).
Recommendations:
Ensure the space you’ve selected for your personal wine cooler is:
●
Unencumbered by clutter and well ventilated
●
Located away from any heat source and direct sunlight
●
Dry and disconnected from any possible sources of dampness (i.e. laundry room, pantry room, bathroom, etc.)
●
Flat, stable, and secure
●
Powered by a reliable electricity (standard socket to country standards, linked to the ground). It is NOT
recommended to use a multi-socket or extension lead
●
Have a surge protector fitted to the electrical outlet
●
In no proximity to a microwave oven. Certain microwave ovens do not have a wave interference shield, which
can interfere with how the wine cabinet operates
Notes:
●
V300-BG-ST-RH model is for freestanding ONLY
●
V54-BG-ST-RH/V54-BG-DT-RH/V164-BG-ST-RH/V163-BG-DT-RH models are available as both built-in and
freestanding units (as per the drawings thereafter).
Wine coolers must remain within a controlled environment to preserve a proper ambient temperature (please view the
end of manual). If the temperature exceeds the optimal range, it will affect the performance of the wine cooler. Placing
the unit in cold or hot temperature conditions may cause the wine cooler’s temperatures to fluctuate, which could disrupt
the wine fermentation process.
Grounding instructions:
The wine cooler must be grounded to reduce risks for electrical shock. The wine cooler is equipped with a power cord,
a grounding wire, and a plug that must be properly affixed and grounded into an electrical outlet.
Improper use of the grounding plug increases the risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or service person
if the grounding instructions are not completely understood. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a
qualified person in order to avoid an electrical hazard.
Note:
If your wine cooler is exposed to frequent sources of light, you are advised to use surge protectors to shield the
cellar from the effects of the light.
INSTALLING YOUR wine cooler
Unpack and remove all protection and adhesive strips from the wine cooler packaging.
Once all the packing materials are removed, move the wine cooler to your desired location. It must be positioned so that
the plug is accessible, and the compressor is unobstructed by another physical object. Then, release the power cord.
Levelling your wine cooler:
Wine cooler must be levelled BEFORE loading your wines.
Your wine cooler is equipped with 4 adjustable feet to assist with the levelling process. We recommend that you adjust
the back feet to their maximum height and adjust the front feet to level the wine cooler with your flooring.
