NORMAL OPERATION & MAINTENANCE
The cooling unit will cycle on and off as needed once the temperature has stabilized and the initial “cool-
down” has been completed. The condensate evaporator and temperature equalizer switches may be turned
off for normal operation.
—
Thermostat
: Should be 55°F or desired wine temperature.
—
Condensate evaporator
: Switch “On” or “Off” as ambient humidity requires. In areas of high humidity,
leave the switch “On” to evaporate excess condensation. In environments of low humidity, leave the switch in
the “Off” position.
—
Temperature equalizer
: Turn on whenever a temperature difference is noted between the top and
bottom bottle rows.
Maintenance
Vinothèque recommends vacuuming of the condenser fins located in the rear of the cabinet every three
months. A partially obstructed condenser dramatically reduces the efficiency of the cooling unit.
Monthly:
— Check filters
— Check for unusual noise or vibration
Quarterly:
— Clean filters
o Remove grille/ducting on the evaporator
o Remove the filter covering the coil
o Wash with warm water
o Dry off filter by shaking off excess water
