INSTALLATION
Before using your wine cabinet:
› Remove the exterior and interior packing.
IMPORTANT
Before connecting the wine cabinet to the power source, let it stand upright for at least 2
hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling
during transportation.
› Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth. Make sure to turn the
unit off and unplug it from the outlet.
NOTE
To protect the appliance in transit and delivery the door is packed tightly against the cabinet.
When first installed this can mean the door seal appears thinner on one side of the door due to
compression, this is normal and once out of the box it will relax over a short period of time and
the door will return to the normal position.
If you wish to speed up the process you can gently warm the seal with a hair dryer on a low
temperature setting. This can help relax the seal helping it return to normal thickness a
little faster.
INSTALLATION OF YOUR WINE CABINET:
› This appliance is designed to be for free standing installation.
› This appliance is intended to be used exclusively for the storage of wine or beverages.
› Place your wine cabinet on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is
fully loaded.
› To level your wine cabinet, adjust the front levelling leg at the bottom of the wine cabinet.
› Ensure it is perfectly level, as this will minimise any vibrations.
› This appliance uses flammable refrigerant. Never damage the cooling pipework
during transportation.
› Locate the wine cabinet away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (ovens, hobs,
heaters, radiators, etc.).

10 Instruction manual WF1552 & WF1553 Please keep this instruction manual for future reference

restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the wine cabinet will
not start.
When you use the wine cabinet for the first time or you restart the cabinet after having been
shut off for a long time, there could be a few degrees variance between the temperature you
select 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 cabinet has been running for a few hours everything will be
back to normal.
TEMPERATURE RECOLLECTION FUNCTION
In the event of a power interruption, the wine cabinet remembers the previous temperature
settings. When the power is recovered, the cabinet temperature will go back the same setting
temperature prior to powering off.
TEMPERATURE ALARM
If internal cabinet temperature is higher than 23°C, “HI” is shown in the display panel, and the
alarm sounds after one hour continuously to warn that the inner temperature is too high.
If internal temperature is lower than 0°C, “LO” is shown in the display panel, the alarm sounds
and the malfunction indicator lights up at the same time.
