Product Overview
Installation
Location
When selecting a position for your wine cooler you should make sure the oor is at and
rm, and the room is well ventilated with an average room temperature of between 16°C
and 32°C. Avoid locating your wine cooler near a heat source, eg. cooker, boiler or radiator.
Also avoid direct sunlight. If you are placing your wine cooler in an outbuilding such as a
garage or annex ensure that the wine cooler is placed above the damp course, otherwise
condensation will occur on the wine cooler cabinet. Never place the wine cooler in a wall
recess or into tted cabinets or furniture.
When your wine cooler is working, the sides may become warm. You may refer to the
Overall Space Required in the Specication section. Please ensure it is positioned at the
correct distance from the wall. The wine cooler door can open to the right or the left,
depending on what better suits the location. If you want to have the door swing reversed,
we recommend that you to contact the Service Centre or a qualied technician to assist
you. You should only try to reverse the door yourself if you believe that you are qualied to
do so.

Handle Assembly
1. Take out the handle and the 2 screws from the
accessories.
Levelling the Wine Cooler
To do this use the two levelling feet at the front of
the wine cooler.
If the wine cooler is not level, the door and
magnetic seal alignments will not be covered
properly.
2. Hold the handle onto the door edge then use a screwdriver and the 2 screws provided
to x the handle onto the door edge.

Cleaning Before Use
Wipe the inside of the wine cooler with a weak solution of bicarbonate soda. Then
rinse with warm water using a ‘wrung-out’ sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before
replacing the shelves and bottle rack. Clean the exterior of the wine cooler with a damp
cloth.
If you require more information refer to the CLEANING section.
• Before Plugging in YOU MUST
• Check that you have a socket which is compatible with the plug supplied with the
wine cooler.
• Before Turning On!
Do not turn on the appliance for two hours after moving the wine cooler. The
coolant fluid needs time to settle.
Before Using Your Wine Cooler
Before placing any wine in your wine cooler, turn it on and wait for 24 hours, to make sure
it is working properly and to allow the wine cooler to fall to the correct temperature. Your
wine cooler should not be overlled.

Operating Instructions
Switching On Your Wine Cooler
1. The internal temperature of your wine cooler
is controlled by a thermostat. There are 7
settings, of which position 7 is the coldest and
position 0 turns the wine cooler o.
2. Make sure that the Thermostat Control Dial,
located inside the wine cooler on the right
hand side is set to 7.
3. After the wine cooler has been on for 20
minutes adjust the Thermostat Control Dial
to 5 – 6.
4. This is the recommended setting for the
wine cooler when operating at normal room
temperature (between 16°C and 32°C).
5. The wine cooler may not operate at the
correct temperature if it is in a particularly hot
or a particularly cold room, or if you open the
wine cooler door often.
6. If you are concerned that your wine cooler is
not being kept cold enough and wish to check
the temperature you will need a special wine
cooler thermometer. These are available from
most supermarkets and hardware shops.
7. Place the thermometer on the middle shelf of
the wine cooler, where it can be read easily.
Leave overnight, the temperature in the
wine cooler should be between 5°C and 20°C
depending on the type of wine.
8. In the 0 position the wine cooler will not
operate, but the power supply remains
connected.
Stacking the Wine Bottles
The shelf system has been designed
so that a range of shelf heights can be
selected. All the shelves can be adjusted.
There is also a bottle rack at the bottom
of the wine cooler.
Max Capacity :
16 bottles

Noises Inside the Wine Cooler
If you have not owned a wine cooler before, you may notice that it makes some rather
unusual noises. Most of these are perfectly normal, but you should be aware of them!
These noises are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant liquid in the cooling system. It
has become more pronounced since the introduction of CFC free gases. This is not a fault
and will not aect the performance of your wine cooler.
This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the refrigerant around the system.
Storing Wine in Your Wine Cooler
One benet of your new wine cooler is that you can simulate the conditions of a wine cellar.
By using a wine cooler thermometer you can ensure a constant temperature of around
5-20°C, which is ideal for storing wine. Make sure the bottles are lying on their sides.
This ensures the wine inside is in contact with the cork, which stops the cork drying out,
shrinking, letting air in and spoiling the wine. After a bottle has been opened, the wine
comes into contact with air which will start to oxidise the wine. This generally occurs on
the wine’s contact surface, leaving the remaining wine in good condition. By leaving your
bottle standing, you minimise the surface area of the wine in contact with air.
If you’re serving white, rose or sparkling wine, chill it lightly for at least two hours in the
wine cooler before serving. Most reds should be served at room temperature, or in the case
of lighter reds like Beaujolais, very slightly chilled.
Opened wine will remain in good condition for up to two days (for delicate whites) or three
days (for rich reds) as long as the bottle is resealed and stored in your wine cooler. Special
stoppers that keep sparkling wine and Champagne bubbling for one or two days after
opening can be bought at most good wine shops. When storing leftover wine, attempt to
minimise the oxidation process of the wine. You can use a ‘vacuum’which pumps out the
air in the bottle leaving a semi-vacuum. The wine should last for about two weeks.
However, if it is a good quality wine and you intend to nish it within one week, all you’ll
need to do is to replace the cork and leave it standing in your wine cooler.
Dierent wines are best kept at dierent temperatures. To choose the temperature at
which to store your wines please consult the table below.

Wine Type °F °C
Rose Wine 48-54 9-12

Filling Your Wine Cooler
When lling your wine cooler the greater the amount of wine placed inside the wine cooler
from room temperature, the longer it will take to cool them to the desired temperature.
You may wish to temporarily turn the Thermostat Control Dial to a higher setting to speed
up the cooling process. If you do this remember to return it to the previous setting once
the wines have reached the required temperature in order to conserve energy.
Shut the Door
To prevent cold air escaping, limit the number of times your open the door.

Cleaning
Cleaning the Inside of the Wine Cooler
There is usually no need to defrost the wine cooler as any ice that is deposited on the back
wall will defrost automatically.
1. Before cleaning the wine cooler always switch o and disconnect the mains supply.
2. Remove all the shelves and detachable accessories and wash in warm soapy water,
rinse and dry thoroughly.
3. If any ice has been deposited on the rear wall, leave the door open and wait until
it begins to thaw. As the solid frost loosen, prize it away with a plastic scraper and
remove. Never use metal or sharp instruments to remove the ice deposit.
4. You should clean the interior of the wine cooler with a weak solution of bicarbonate of
soda.
5. Check that the drain outlet at the rear wall of the wine cooler compartment is clear of
debris as this will aect the automatic defrosting.
6. Rinse the wine cooler with warm water using a clean ‘wrung-out’ sponge or cloth.
Then, wipe it dry before replacing the shelves and accessories.
7. Plug in and switch on the mains supply.
Cleaning the Outside of the Wine Cooler
• Use a damp cloth to clean the wine cooler exterior and a glass cleaner on the door.
Make sure that the door is closed, to prevent polish getting on the magnetic door seal or
inside.
Cleaning Tips
• Condensation may appear on the outside of the wine cooler. This maybe due to a change
in room temperature. Wipe o any moisture residue. If the problem continues, please
contact a qualied technician for assistance.
