REGLAGE DE TEMP.
AFFICHAGE
To temporarily disconnect the cooling cycle, unplug the wine cooler. When disengaging the cooling function
for long periods of time, disconnect the plug and leave the door partially open.
NOTE: Wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the wine cooler if operation has been interrupted.
INTERIOR LIGHT
The interior light can operate “manually” or “automatically”. The light automatically comes on with the opening
of the door and goes out when the door is closed. To operate the light manually, press the light/toggle switch
located at the bottom right of the wine cooler exterior cabinet to the “on” position. To turn the light off, toggle
the switch to the “off” position.
DEFROSTING/CONDENSATION
Your wine cooler is designed with an “Auto-Cycle” defrost system. During the “Off Cycle” the refrigerated
surfaces of the wine cooler defrost automatically. Defrost water from the wine cooler storage compartment
drains automatically, and is channeled into a condensate drain pan which is located in the back of the wine
cooler next to the compressor. The heat transferred from the compressor evaporates any condensation that
has collected in the pan.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
Upon receiving your wine cooler, leave the door open for 24 hours. When cleaning the inside of the wine
cooler you can use a solution of a tablespoon of baking soda to one (1) quart of water, or a mild soap suds
solution, or some mild detergent. Wood shelving does not require cleaning. To clean the exterior cabinet of
your wine cooler, use a soft damp cloth with mild detergent or appliance cleaner.

4. Leave the door open to avoid possible formations of condensation, mold or odors.
WHAT TO DO REGARDING POWER FAILURE
Most power failures are corrected within a short period of time. An hour or two loss of power will not affect your wine
cooler temperatures. To protect your wines while the power is off, you should minimize the number of door openings.
For power failures of longer durations, take steps to protect your wine.
