Before first use
You must allow the appliance to settle for at least twenty four
hours prior to switching the power on.
It is recommended that you remove all internal and external
packaging and clean the interior of the appliance prior to first use.
We recommend that you use a solution of bicarbonate of soda and
warm water and then thoroughly dry the interior.
The appliance may have an odour to it at first use. This will
disappear as the appliance cools.
Please note:
• The appliance will work continuously until it gets to the correct
temperature. Continuous noise from the compressor and
refrigeration system is normal
• If the appliance is switched o, you should allow five minutes
before switching it on again to prevent the risk of unnecessary
damage to the compressor
•The LED display may not show the selected temperature whilst
the appliance first gets to the correct temperature. This is
normal, and the display will be corrected automatically once the
appliance has run for a few hours
• If the appliance does not have a freezer compartment ( )
it is not suitable for freezing foodstus.

Instruction Manual | 7
Use
• Only store wine in sealed containers
• Do not overload the cabinet
• Only open the door when necessary
• Do not cover the shelves with aluminium foil or anything else that
will prevent air from circulating around the cabinet
• To prevent damage to the door seal, ensure the door is fully
open before removing the shelves
• This is a self-defrosting appliance. The compressor will not run
during the thirty minute defrost cycle
•Do not pull the shelves beyond the anti-stop position
(approximately one third out) when fully loaded
•This appliance is intended to be used exclusively for the storage
of wine
•In the event of a power failure, leave the door closed as much
as possible to maintain the internal working temperature. Should
the power failure continue for a prolonged period, you should
take steps to protect the contents of the wine cooler against a
rise in temperature. The wine cooler will remember the selected
temperature settings and revert to these settings once the power
is restored
This appliance is suitable for use in an extended temperature
climate (ST) and has a normal operating ambient temperature of
16-38°C. Use of the appliance below 10°C may cause performance
issues that are not indicative of a fault. Normal operation will
resume once the appliance is within the specified range.

Optimal temperature selection
Whilst wine is best stored at temperatures between 13°C and 15˚C,
your wine can also be stored at drinking temperature, for red wine
this is between 15°C and 17˚C, and for white wine between 12°C
and 13˚C.
To use the internal light
• Press the light button to switch the light on or o.
Please note:
The temperature in the lower zone must be set either the same
as or higher than the temperature in the upper zone. For optimal

Use
Internal Humidity
The wine coolers are equipped with a humidity system to maintain
optimal humidity within the wine cooler.
Fill the humidity reservoir approximately 3/4 full with water.
Place the reservoir on the runners on the top shelf as shown in fig.4.
Ensure it is located correctly to prevent water spillage. Check the
water level regularly and refill if required.
Fig. 4
Temperature display
The temperature display will show the current internal temperature.
The display flashes:
• When a dierent temperature is being set
• If the internal temperature is +/- 5˚ away from the set temperature
This serves as a warning to prevent damage to the contents of the
appliance should the temperature be too high

Instruction Manual | 11
Use
Silent mode
Once the required temperature is reached, the appliance will run
without the fan. The wine cooler is factory set to silent mode. To
change to dynamic cooling mode, touch and hold the "-" button for
approximately five seconds (left hand “-” button on AWC601). The
wine cooler will beep five times to confirm dynamic cooling is on.
Dynamic cooling mode
The fan cycles on and o to circulate the air even after the required
temperature is reached. This ensures consistent humidity and
temperature distribution in the wine cooler, creating perfect
conditions for long term storage. Using the dynamic mode increases
the level of noise in operation. To change to silent mode, touch
and hold the "+" button for approximately five seconds (left hand "+"
button on AWC601). The wine cooler will beep three times to confirm
silent mode is on.
Sabbath mode
Sabbath mode is available for the observance of certain religious
holidays. This will switch o the displays, interior light and audible
alarms. The cooling process will continue. To switch the Sabbath
mode on, touch and hold the power and light keys simultaneously
for five seconds. The indicator light will flash four times and confirm
the Sabbath mode is on. Sabbath mode will switch o automatically
after 48 hours, but to switch the Sabbath mode o at any time,
touch and hold the power and light keys simultaneously for five
seconds.

12 | Instruction Manual
Use
Door alarm
The wine cooler is equipped with an alarm that will sound if the
door is left open for more than 60 seconds. To switch o the alarm,
press the power button. If the temperature has risen beyond the
set temperature, the display will flash until the zone has returned to
the required temperature.
Interior light
The wine cooler has two options for the interior lights. To change
from one option to the other, press the light button.
• Display mode - This mode will leave the interior light on
constantly, allowing you to see the contents of the wine cooler
at a glance at any time
• Energy saving mode - This mode only switches on the interior
light when the door is opened

Bottle storage
To achieve the most eective preservation of your wine for
the longest time possible and avoiding any waste, position the
products as shown in the diagrams in this section. In addition, this
figure illustrates the layout of drawers, baskets and shelves, which
allows the most ecient use of energy.
Optimal temperature and storage conditions will extend product
shelf life and optimize electricity consumption. Optimal storage
temperature should be stated on the food product packaging.
