DEFROSTING/ CONDENSATION
Your wine cabinet is designed with an “Auto-cycle’ defrost system. When the cooling cycle is

defrosted water is channelled into a drain pan which is located at the back of the cabinet next to
the compressor from where it evaporates.

SHELVES
-For easy access to your wine, you must pull the shelves approximately 1/3 out of the cabinet
before inserting or removing bottles. The telescopic rail system is designed to only allow the
shelves to pull out a certain distance, to avoid the possibility of bottles falling.
-To remove the shelves from the telescopic rails, you must pull the shelf out until the holes either
side of the shelf line up with the lugs inside the wine cabinet. Once these are lined up, you can
lift the shelf off the rails, and pull out from the wine cabinet. To reinstall the shelves, you can
reverse this process, but also line up the telescopic rail supports with the holes on the bottom of
the shelf.
CAUTION
Do not store bottles crossways on the interior floor. Otherwise, bottles may fall out when the
appliance door is opened and this may cause injury or material damage.
