INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
¾Before using your wine cabinet
•Remove the exterior and interior packing.
•Before connecting the Wine cabinet to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately
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.
•When disposing your appliance, please choose an authorised disposal site.
¾Installation 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 Wine cabinet.
•Locate the Wine cabinet away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator,
etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical
consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the unit not to perform
properly.
•Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.
•Plug the Wine cabinet into an exclusive, properly installed-grounded wall outlet. Do not under
any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions
concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an
authorised Caple service centre.
¾Attention
•Store wine in sealed bottles;
•Do not overload the cabinet;
•Do not open the door unless necessary;
•Do not cover shelves with aluminium foil or any other shelf material which may prevent air
circulation;
•Should the Wine cabinet be stored without use for long periods it is suggested, after a careful
cleaning, to leave the door ajar to allow air to circulate inside the cabinet in order to avoid
possible formations of condensation, mould or odours.

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 restart the appliance 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 is running for a few hours everything will be back to
normal.
¾Shelves

DEFROSTING/CONDENSATION
Your wine cellar is designed with an “Auto-cycle” defrost system. When the RUN cycle is OFF, the
refrigerated surface of the wine cellar (interior rear wall) defrosts automatically. The defrost water is
channelled into a drain pan which is located at the back of the wine cellar next to the compressor
from where it evaporates.
HUMIDITY MAINTENANCE SYSTEM
The wine cellar is equipped with a system for maintaining the correct level of humidity. If humidity is
too low, insert the small plastic reservoir on to the top shelf. Fill this reservoir 3/4 full with water.
Check the water level occasionally and refill as necessary.
