Operation and Controls 

 

SABBATH MODE 

Sabbath mode is available for the observance of certain religious holidays. This mode turns off the displays, 
interior light and audible alarms and prevents them from turning on again. Normal cooling operations will still 
take place. To initiate Sabbath mode, press and hold the POWER  and LIGHT keys at the same time for at 
least 5 seconds. The indicator light will flash four times and confirm the Sabbath mode is ON. Sabbath mode 
can be exited by repeating the above process. The Sabbath Mode will automatically exit after 96 hours. 

 

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.  

BWR-171DS - 5 removable shelves 
BWR-401DS - 11 removable shelves 

 

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 
continue 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 
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 comes on. It be-
comes 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 
switching on. 

 

Cracking/popping sounds, resulting from the materials contraction and expansion due to temperature vari-
ations, 

 

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. 

 

NOTE: 

An individual’s perception of noise is directly linked to the environment in which the unit is lo-

cated, as well the specific type of models. Our appliances are in line with international standards for such ap-
pliance and in line with the latest technical developments. Please remember that the noise of the compressor 
and the coolant circulating in the system is unavoidable. 

 

DEFROSTING AND VENTILATION

 

Your wine refrigerator is designed with an automatic defrost system. During off-cycle, the evaporator behind 
the rear wall of the unit defrosts automatically. Condensation is collected in the drain at the back of the unit 
and flows through the drainage hole into the drip tray above the compressor. The heat is transferred from 
compressor and evaporates any condensation that has collected in the drip tray. Part of the remaining water 
within the wine refrigerator is collected for humidity purposes. 

 

NOTE: 

Frost may accumulate 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.
