GETTING STARTED
Plug in and switch on the cellar by pressing on the power button for a few seconds.
When you use the wine cellar for the first time (or restart the wine cellar after having it
shut off for a long time), there will be a few degrees variance between the temperature
you have selected and the one indicated on the LED readout. This is normal and it is
due to the length of the activation time. Once the wine cellar is running for a few hours
everything will stabilize.
Note: If the unit is unplugged, power is lost, or turned off, wait 3 to 5 minutes before
restarting the unit. The wine cellar will not start if you attempt to restart before this
time delay.
Operating Noises
To reach the desired temperature settings, wine cellars, like all wine cellars operating
with compressors and fans, may produce the following types of noises. These noises are
normal and may occur as follows:
• Gurgling sound - caused by the refrigerant flowing through the appliance's coils.
• Cracking/popping sounds - resulting from the contraction and expansion of the
refrigerant gas to produce cold.
• Fan operating sound - to circulate the air within the wine cellar.
Loading the Wine Cellar
• Do remove or relocate adjustable wooden shelves to accommodate larger type
of bottles or increase the capacity of the cellar by stacking the bottles up when
necessary. (See removing shelves)
• Keep smalls gap between the walls and the bottles to allow air circulation. Like an
underground cellar air circulation is important to prevent mould and for a better
homogeneous temperature within the cellar.
• Do not over load your wine cellar to facilitate air circulation.
• Avoid obstructing the internal fans (located inside on the back panel of the wine cellar).
• Do not slide the shelves outwards beyond the fixed position to prevent the bottles from falling.
• Do not pull out more than one loaded shelf at a time as this may cause the wine cellar
to tilt forward.
• Do not cover the wooden shelves with alloy foil or other materials, as it will obstruct
air circulation.
• Do not move your wine cellar while it is loaded with wines. This might distort the
body of the wine cellar and cause back injury.
