When selecting a position for your unit you should make sure the floor is flat and firm, and the
room is well ventilated. Avoid locating your unit near a heat source, e.g. cooker, boiler or radiator.
Also avoid direct sunlight as it may increase the electrical consumption. Extreme cold ambient
temperatures may also cause the unit not to perform properly. This unit is not designed for use in
a garage or outdoor installation. Do not drape the unit with any covering.
When installing the unit, ensure that 20 cm of free space is left at both sides, 15 cm at the rear
and 20 cm at the top of the unit. This will allow cold air to circulate around the wine cooler and
improve the efficiency of the cooling process. The door can be opened to the right or the left,
depending on what better suits the location. Please ensure there is adequate space for the door
to fully open.

4. OPERATION
4.1 Adjusng temperature inside cabinet
The thermostat knob is used to adjust the temperature inside cabinet according to different ambient
temperature. At the same ambient temperature, higher number means lower temperature inside
cabinet, ‘OFF’ means power off of the refrigerator.
If the compressor keep running connuously or frost accumulated inside cabinet, please adjust
the thermostat knob to the smaller number. If the temperature inside cabinet is too high, please
adjust the knob to the higher number. Generally speaking, number ‘3’ is suggested seng for
most situaons.
4.2 Noise Inside the Unit
You may noce that your unit makes some unusual noises. Most of these are perfectly normal,
but you should be aware of them.
These noises are caused by the circulaon of the refrigerant liquid in the cooling system. It has
become more pronounced since the introducon of CFC free gases. This is not a fault and will not
affect the performance of your unit. This is the compressor motor working,as it pumps the
refrigerant around the system.
4.3 Tips for Keeping Food in the Unit
◆ Cooked meats/fishes should always be stored on a shelf above rawmeats/fishes to avoid
bacterial transfer. Keep rawmeats/fishes in a container which is large enough to collect juices
and cover it properly. Place the container on the lowest shelf.
◆ Leave space around your food, to allowair to circulate inside the unit. Ensure all parts of the
unit are kept cool.

◆ To prevent transfer of favours and drying out, pack or cover the food separately. Fruit and
vegetables do not need to be wrapped.
◆ Always let pre-cooked food cool down before you put in the unit. This will help to maintain
the internal temperature of the unit.
◆ To prevent cold air escaping from the unit, try to limit the number of mes you open the
door. We recommend that you only open the door when you need to put food in or take food
out.
