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.

10 Instruction manual Wi6234 & Wi6235 Please keep this instruction manual for future reference
› It is fitted with a power cord having an earth wire terminating in a 13amp plug.

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.

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 / 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 / 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.
