below drawing should be followed for both types of installation.
• Avoid damaging the product during installation, positioning of the appliance requires two
people in order to avoid injuries or damage to the appliance.
• Your appliance should not be located in direct sunlight or exposed to continuous heat or
extremes of temperature (e.g. next to a radiator or boiler). If this is not feasible, then you should
install an insulation plate between the appliance and the adjacent heat source.
• You should check whether there is an electrical socket available, which will be accessible after
your appliance is installed.
• Place the appliance flatly and firmly on a solid base. The appliance is fitted with adjustable feet,
which should be used to level the appliance.
• Be sure to leave enough space for the opening of the door, to avoid damage to the appliance
or personal injury
• If installing as a built in unit the aperture size has to be a minimum of (H)875 x (W)300 x
(D)590mm. The depth dimensions in particular must be observed.
Important: The vent at the base of the appliance is for ventilation. Nothing should be placed in
front of this vent; otherwise your wine cabinet may not operate properly.
• A decorative plinth can be fitted to the front of the base vent as long as the cut out shown in the
diagram below is made in the plinth. This cut out is required whether the vent is removed or not.

Handle installation
To install the door handle follow the below steps:
1. Open the door of the appliance and move the
door gasket slightly to one side so that you can
see two designated holes for handle installation
2. Install the handle tightly as shown in the diagram
above with the two screws provided.
3. Ensure the door gasket falls back into place and
that the door opens and closes correctly.
Control panel
The control panel is situated in the middle of the appliances cavity and has a power, light,
temperature up and temperature down touch controls, these are explained below:
1. Power on/off – press to turn the appliance on and off
2. Light on/off – press to turn the internal light of the appliance on and off
3. Temperature display – displays the internal temperature of the appliance in Celsius or
Fahrenheit
4. Temperature up – press to increase the internal temperature of the appliance
5. Temperature down – press to decrease the internal temperature of the appliance
Allow to stand for a minimum of 3 hours before plugging in to the mains
During first use
Important: When you use the wine cooler for the first time or restart the appliance after it has been
turned off for a long time, there could be a few degrees variance between the temperature you
select and the one indicated on the display. This is normal and it is due to the length of activation
time. Once the wine cabinet has been running for a few hours everything will be back to normal.
When you first switch on the appliance, the compressor will run continuously until the wine cabinet
reaches a cool enough temperature.
During this period of time, you should try not to open the door frequently or place bottles inside
of the appliance
If the unit is switched off or unplugged, you must allow at least 5 minutes before restarting the
appliance or reconnecting it to your mains supply.

Switching on the appliance and setting the temperature
Follow the below steps to switch on the appliance and set the required temperature:
1. Switch the appliance on at the plug, then press and hold the power on/off control button for
at least 5 seconds. The appliance will beep and the internal temperature of the appliance will
be shown on the display.
2. The temperature setting for the appliance is adjustable within the range of 5°C to 22°C or
40°F / 72°F.
3. When you press the temperature up or temperature down controls for the first time, the LED
display will show the factory default temperature setting of 12°C / 54°F.
4. Use the temperature up and temperature down controls to set the desired internal
temperature.
5. The temperature will increase by 1°C or 1°F if you touch the temperature up control once and
will decrease by the same amount if you press the temperature down control once.
6. When you set a new temperature, the display will show the previous temperature for 5
seconds, before showing the actual temperature. During this time, the cooler temperature will
adjust accordingly.
7. To view the set temperature in the wine cooler, press the temperature up) or temperature
down control. The display will flash the temperature for 5 seconds.
Note: We recommend that the door is not opened for a minimum of 4 hours to allow the appliance
to reach the standard operating temperature.
Note: The temperature of the drinks and how often the door is opened affects the temperature in
the cooler. If required, change the temperature setting.
Note: Cool air falls and warmer air rises, so there will be a slight temperature variation between
the top of the cabinet and the bottom of the cabinet.
Important: When the temperature is changed, the compressor works harder to reach the required
temperature. During this time, the side panels of the wine cabinet can reach up to 45°C however
they will cool down when the set temperature is reached.
Changing between Fahrenheit and Celsius
You can select whether the temperature display shows Celsius or Fahrenheit:
1. To change the temperature reading from Celsius to Fahrenheit you must press and hold the
light on/off control until the appliance beeps and the °F indicator will be lit.
2. You cannot change the display if you are in the process of adjusting the temperature of the
wine cabinet.

Loading the wine cooler
Important: Your appliance is ideally suited to store 0.75 litre Bordeaux style wine bottles. While the
cabinet can store larger bottles, you must make sure that they do not prevent the door from
shutting properly.
• Always check that you can close the door without it touching on a wine bottle, before shutting
it.
• When loading several bottles of wine at once, it will take longer for the appliance to cool the
individual bottles.
• As many bottles may differ in size and dimensions, the actual number of bottles you are able to
store may vary. The maximum storage number is based on standard 0.75 litre Bordeaux style
wine bottles.
• You can place 18 standard size bottles in your appliance

• Temperature stability is the most important factor when it comes to storing wine.
• Exposure to light, vibrations or fluctuations in temperature and humidity can all cause wine to
spoil. When properly stored, wines not only maintain their quality but many will actually
improve in aroma, flavour and complexity as they mature.
• Wines kept at a higher temperature will age faster. Wine that is exposed to temperatures that
are greater than 21°C (70°F) will suffer from poorer flavour and aroma.
• If wine is kept at too low a temperature, this can result in the development of harmful deposits.
A humidity of 70% is ideal for keeping corks from shrinking.

• After a bottle of wine has been opened, the wine comes into contact with air. So it is best to
store the remainder of the bottle upright, to minimize the surface area of the wine that is
coming into contact with the air.
• Once opened, wine will remain in a drinkable condition for two days for delicate whites or
three days for rich reds, as long as the bottle has been resealed. You should make sure that
the seal is firm by checking the stopper.
• Special stoppers that keep wine sparkling and Champagne bubbling for one or two days after
opening, can be bought.
• When stored correctly, unopened white wines can keep well for up to two years. Full bodied
reds (unopened) will age well for ten years and dessert wines (unopened) will age well for up
to twenty years.
• When you buy a bottle of wine, you should transfer it to a suitable storage location immediately
(if you are not going to store it in your wine cooler).
• Cheaper bottles of wine will not age as well as more expensive ones.
• To make the most of the bouquet and taste of your wine, never fill more than half a glass at a
time. It will also help if the shape of your wine glass is appropriate for your wine. The size and
shape of your wine glass’s bowl will determine the intensity and complexity of the bouquet.
The stem should be long enough to allow you to avoid hand contact with the bowl of the glass
and should be tulip-shaped or tapered at the top.
Wine storage problems
Corking -
a tiny percentage of bottled wine (about 1%) will suffer from this. The cork reacts with
the wine and gives it a musty, unpleasant taste. It is the most common wine storage problem and
is caused by harmless bacteria growing on the cork. As unfortunate as this is, there is nothing to
do but to discard all of the wine in the affected bottle. This is not to be confused with small
fragments of cork floating in the wine itself, which will not impair the flavour.
Oxidisation -
when wine has been opened and left for longer than a day; it tends to lose its aroma
and colour, giving an overall flat taste. The only way to avoid this, it to either drink the wine on the
same day it was opened or to use a vacuum device specially designed for removing oxygen from
opened wine bottles. If you use such a device, the wine should still be consumed shortly afterwards.
Ullage -
this is loss of wine from the bottle by evaporation or leakage. Signs of ullage include wine
seeping around the cork, a protruding cork or a stained label. It can happen if the bottle has been
allowed to get too warm. The wine may still be drinkable, if the leakage was recent; however, you
should be aware that if the wine cools down again, contraction can cause more air to be sucked
into the bottle and result in further deterioration.
Slight effervescence in still wine -
this isn’t really a problem with the way the wine has been stored,
but as a result of incomplete malolactic fermentation before the wine was bottled. A good way to
get rid of the effervescence is to let the wine breathe. Alternatively you can use a bottle vacuum
device, after about five minutes the effervescence will vanish.
Sediment -
this is not normally a problem, however both red and white wines can produce sediment
after a number of months in a bottle. The sediment consists of tartrate crystals and is totally

harmless. If anything the building of sediment can be considered a good sign because it means
that the wine was not subjected to much (if any) filtering, meaning that the flavours and aromas
should be preserved better.
A good way to get around sediment (if it is a problem) is to stand the bottle upright, the day before
opening, so that the sediment can settle to the bottom of the bottle.
You can also decant your wine; decanting will “open up” the flavour of both young and old wines,
but younger wines in particular. To decant, pour the wine slowly and evenly into your decanter.
Humidity control
Important note: this feature is optional and will only enhance the storage conditions of the wine
within the appliance. If you do not want to use this feature simply remove the humidity reservoir(s).
The wine cooler is equipped with a system for maintaining the correct level of humidity for storing
wine. There is a humidity reservoir (a small plastic container) installed on the top shelf of the top
zone. Remove this from the runner on the top shelf/shelves and fill it/them ¾full with cold water
and reinstall onto the runners.
Note: You must ensure the humidity reservoir is positioned correctly on the runners on the top
shelf to avoid the possibility of water spillage.
Note: Check the water level regularly and refill as necessary.
Removing the shelves
For easy access to the bottle stored, pull the shelves out approximately 1/3. The shelves are
designed with an emergency stop to prevent them being removed too far when loaded.
To prevent damaging the door seal, make sure the door is fully open when removing shelves. To
remove any of the shelves, move the shelf to the position where the notch/indentation on each
side of the wooden shelf is exactly under the plastic posts. Then simply lift the wooden shelf
upwards and remove.

When replacing the shelf you must ensure that you align the notches/indentations on the wooden
shelves with the plastic posts and that wooden shelf is dropped under the plastic posts.
Door reversal
This appliance has the capability of the door opening from either the left or right hand side.
Any parts that you remove from the appliance whilst reversing the door, should be retained for
later use.
You will need to tilt the cooler backward to access the lower hinge which holds screws. Do not tilt
more than 45 degrees and do not lay the cooler flat on its side.
Reversing the door :
1. Open the glass door and remove the two screws under the bottom hinge. These are used to
hold the right lower hinge to the door shaft assembly.
2. Be careful to support the glass door with both hands to prevent it dropping after removing
the screws. Pull down to remove the glass door and place it on a padded surface to prevent
scratching it.

3. Remove the 3 screws from the right top hinge and right lower hinge.
4. Remove the plastic screw covers from the bottom left and top left of the appliance.
5. Take the left top hinge and left bottom hinge from the plastic bag that contained the
instructional manual then install them in the designated positions on the left side of the cabinet
6. Turn the glass door around 180°, put the door shaft assembly from step 1 into the hole on the
bottom of the door and reinstall it. Fix the 2 screws into the bottom hinge and the door shaft
assembly
7. Replace the plastic screw covers from step 4 on the holes on the right hand side.
Check that the door opens and shuts correctly after you have completed the door reversal
process.The appliance must now be upright for a minimum of 3 hours before turning it on.

Energy Saving Advice
• Do not install the appliance close to sources of heat, such as a cooker, dishwasher or radiator.
• Locate the appliance in a cool well-ventilated room and make sure that the air vents are clear.
• Try to avoid keeping the doors open for a long time, warm air will enter the cabinet and may
cause a build-up of ice as well as affecting the energy consumption. Ensure there are no
obstructions preventing the doors from closing properly.
• Ensure that the door seals are clean and there are no tears or splits.
• Do not overload the appliance ; the cooling air that circulates to keep the appliance cold gets
blocked and pockets of warm air form.
III. MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before
cleaning.
Internal Cleaning
• Do not pour water over the appliance.
• The cavity should be cleaned periodically using a solution
of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water (5ml to 0.5
litre of water)
• Clean the accessories separately with soap and water. Do
not put them in the dishwasher.
• Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps.
• After washing, rinse with clean water and dry carefully.
• When you have finished cleaning reconnect the plug with
dry hands
.
External Cleaning
• Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. Do NOT
use abrasive products.
• There are sharp edges on the underside of the product so
care should be taken when cleaning.
• Once or twice a year dust the rear of the appliance and
the compressor at the back of the appliance, with a brush
or vacuum cleaner, as an accumulation of dust will affect

the performance of the appliance and cause increased
energy consumption.
When the appliance is not in use
When the appliance is not in use for long periods,
disconnect from the electricity supply, empty all of the
contents and clean the inside. Leave the door open to
prevent the build-up of odours.
Defrosting
• Defrosting occurs automatically inside of the wine cabinet
during operation. The defrost water is collected by the
evaporating tray and evaporates automatically.
• The evaporating tray and defrost water drain hole should
be cleaned periodically. This will prevent water from
collecting in the bottom of the wine cabinet, instead of
flowing down the defrost drainage channel and drain
hole.
• You can also pour a small amount of water down the drain
hole to clean inside of it.
• You should be careful to make sure that wine bottles do
not touch the rear wall of the appliance, as this can
interrupt the automatic defrosting process and deflect
water into the base of your wine cabinet
