Appliance Model
Serial Number
EU Declarations of Conformity:
This appliance has been designed, constructed and marketed in
compliance with safety requirements of EU Directive 2014/35/EU (Low
voltage) and requirements of Directive 2014/30/EU (EMC).
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR CORRECT DISPOSAL OF THE
PRODUCT IN ACCORDANCE WITH EC DIRECTIVE 2012/19/EU.
Please render the appliance unusable before disposal. This includes
removing the plug and breaking the door fixings to prevent children
being trapped inside the appliance during play, or any other risk of
injury.
At the end of its working life, the product must not be disposed of as
urban waste. It must be taken to a special local authority dierentiated
waste collection centre or to a dealer providing this service.
Disposing of a household appliance separately avoids possible
negative consequences for the environment and health deriving from
inappropriate disposal and enables the constituent materials to be
recovered to obtain significant savings in energy and resources. As a
reminder of the need to dispose of household appliances separately,
the product is marked with a crossed-out wheeled dustbin.

Before first use
You must allow the appliance to settle for at least twenty four
hours prior to switching the power on.
It is recommended that you remove all internal and external
packaging and clean the interior of the appliance prior to first use. We
recommend that you use a solution of bicarbonate of soda and warm
water and then thoroughly dry the interior.
The appliance may have an odour to it at first use. This will disappear
as the appliance cools.
Please note:
• The appliance will work continuously until it gets to the correct
temperature. Continuous noise from the compressor and
refrigeration system is normal.
• If the appliance is switched o, you should allow five minutes before
switching it on again to prevent the risk of unnecessary damage to
the compressor.
•The LED display may not show the selected temperature whilst the
appliance first gets to the correct temperature. This is normal, and
the display will be corrected automatically once the appliance has
run for a few hours.

Use
• Only store wine in sealed containers.
• Do not overload the cabinet.
• Only open the door when necessary.
• Do not cover the shelves with aluminium foil or anything else that
will prevent air from circulating around the cabinet.
• To prevent damage to the door seal, ensure the door is fully open
before removing the shelves.
• This is a self-defrosting appliance. The compressor will not run
during the thirty minute defrost cycle.
•Do not pull the shelves beyond the anti-stop position (approximately
one third out) when fully loaded.
•This appliance is intended to be used exclusively for the storage of
wine.
•In the event of a power failure, leave the door closed as much
as possible to maintain the internal working temperature. Should
the power failure continue for a prolonged period, you should
take steps to protect the contents of the wine cooler against a
rise in temperature. The wine cooler will remember the selected
temperature settings and revert to these settings once the power is
restored.
This appliance is suitable for use in an extended temperature climate
(ST) and has a normal operating ambient temperature of 16-38°C.
Use of the appliance below 10°C may cause performance issues that
are not indicative of a fault. Normal operation will resume once the
appliance is within the specified range.

cooler is on.
Optimal temperature selection
Whilst wine is best stored at temperatures between 13 and 15˚ C, your
wine can also be stored at drinking temperature. For red wine this is
between 15 and 17˚C, and for white wine between 12 and 13˚C.
To use the internal light
• Press the light button to switch the light on or o.

Optimal temperature selection
Whilst wine is best stored at temperatures between 13°C and 15˚C,
your wine can also be stored at drinking temperature, for red wine this
is between 15°C and 17˚C, and for white wine between 12°C and 13˚C.
To use the internal light
• Press the light button to switch the light on or o.
Please note:
The temperature in the lower zone must be set either the same
as or higher than the temperature in the upper zone. For optimal
performance, the temperatures in the two zones should dier by at
least 4˚C.
Use
Internal Humidity
The wine coolers are equipped
with a humidity system to maintain
optimal humidity within the wine
cooler.
Fill the humidity reservoir
approximately 3/4 full with water.
Place the reservoir on the runners on the top shelf as shown in fig. 4.
Ensure it is located correctly to prevent water spillage.
Check the water level regularly and refill if required.

Temperature display
The temperature display will show the current internal temperature.
The display flashes:
• When a dierent temperature is being set
• If the internal temperature is +/- 5˚ away from the set temperature.
This serves as a warning to prevent damage to the contents of the
appliance should the temperature be too high.
Dynamic Cooling and Silent modes
The appliance has two dierent running modes.
Silent mode
Once the required temperature is reached, the appliance will run without
the fan. The wine cooler is factory set to silent mode.
To change to dynamic cooling mode, touch and hold the "-" button for
approximately five seconds (left hand "-" button on FWC604 & FWC624).
The wine cooler will beep five times to confirm dynamic cooling is on.
Dynamic cooling mode
The fan cycles on and o to circulate the air even after the required
temperature is reached. This ensures consistent humidity and
temperature distribution in the wine cooler, creating perfect conditions
for long term storage.
Using the dynamic mode increases the level of noise in operation.
To change to silent mode, touch and hold the "+" button for
approximately five seconds (left hand "+" button on FWC604 & FWC624).
The wine cooler will beep three times to confirm silent mode is on.
