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 12
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
› 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 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 cooler away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (ovens, hobs, heaters,
radiators, etc.). Never clean appliance parts with flammable fluids. The fumes can create
a fire hazard or explosion. When disposing your appliance, please choose an authorised
disposal site.
› Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.
› It is fitted with a power cord having an earth wire terminating in a 13amp plug.
› Ensure the product is correctly ventilated (see page; 13 & 14).
› Consult a qualified electrician or service engineer if the earthing instructions are not
completely understood.
› Plug the wine cabinet into an exclusive, properly installed-grounded wall outlet. Do not
under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) pin from the plug. Any questions
concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or
Caple service.
WARNING:
Incorrect earthing can result in the risk of electric shock.

OPERATING YOUR WINE CABINET
Please use the cabinet within ambient temperatures between 16-32ºC, if the ambient
temperature is higher or lower than this, it will cause the temperature to fluctuate in the
cabinet, possibly preventing it from reaching 5-18ºC.
SETTING THE TEMPERATURE
Set the desired cooling temperature by pressing the up and down keys. Each press of the keys
will scroll through the available temperature settings in increments of 1°C.
The temperature setting can be adjusted from 5°C to 18°C
To view the actual temperature at anytime press and hold either up or down for approximately
5 seconds, the actual temperature will temporarily flash in the LED display for 5 seconds. After
this it will revert back to the set temperature.
Flashing LED = Cabinet temperature
Steady LED = Set temperature
NOTE
If the unit is unplugged, power lost or turned off, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before
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.
CONTROL PANEL
BUTTONS
Light - Used to switch the internal light on/off
Power - To switch the appliance on/off
(press and hold this button for approximately 3 seconds)

If inner temperature is lower than 0ºC, “LO” is shown in the display panel, the alarm sounds
and the malfunction indicator lights at the same time.
INTERNAL LIGHT
In order to reduce energy consumption, the LED light within this wine cabinet will automatically
switch off after 10 minutes. If you would prefer the LED light to remain on continuously, this
is possible. Please press and hold the light key for 5 seconds, the display will show “LP”. After
4 seconds the display will revert back to normal and the light will remain on until manually
switched off.
