Select Location
The proper location will ensure peak performance of your
appliance. Choose a location where the unit will be out of
direct sunlight and away from heat sources. Best perfor-
mance will be maintained when installed within the follow-
ing parameters:
Ideal Ambient Temperature Range
Built-In 18-22 °C
Free-Standing 18-32 °C
Cabinet Clearance
Ventilation is required from the bottom front section of the
unit. Keep this area open and clear of any obstructions.
Adjacent cabinets and countertop can be installed on top,
back and sides of the unit as long as the grille and door
access remain unobstructed.

Adjustable legs at the front corners of the unit should be set
so the unit is firmly positioned on the floor and the front is
raised just enough so the door closes easily when opened
about halfway.
Turn leveling legs clockwise to raise unit, counterclockwise
to lower it.
Green/Yellow
(Earth) Fuse (13A.)
Blue (Neutral) Brown (Live)
Electrical Connection
Use nominal 230 VAC, 50 Hz only. DO NOT USE AN
EXTENSION CORD.
WARNING! THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. All
external wiring must comply with the IEE Regulations for
the Electrical Equipment of Buildings. Connections to the
electrical supply can be made with either a plug and socket
or be permanently wired via a double-pole switch.
The appliance is supplied with a 250VAC PVC (85 degrees
C) core cable (0.5mm=x2.5 metres long). Any replace-
ment cable fitted must follow this specification. The unit
may be supplied with either a moulded or rewirable plug.
Should the plug not fit the socket at the installation site, it
should be removed and replaced with the correct type of
plug.
If a moulded plug is fitted which is not suitable, it must be
removed and disposed of. To avoid the risk of electrocu-
tion, a plug must not be left where a child may plug it into
a supply socket. It must not be used for any other appli-
ance. A three pin plug to BS 1363 with a capacity of not
less than 13A must be used and fitted with a 13A fuse
“ASTA” approved to BS 1363.
If you replace the fuse, the cover must be refitted. If the
cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a replacement
has been obtained from your supplier. The color of the
fuse cover is that of the insert in the base of the fuse recess
or elsewhere on the plug. Always state this color when
ordering a replacement cover.
If your appliance has a moulded plug, you do NOT have
to do the following assembly as shown in Figure 1. Appli-
ances with moulded plugs are ready to use as is.
IMPORTANT: The wires should be connected to the ter-
minals of the plug as follows:
Earth to the terminal marked E or coloured Green or•
Green/Yellow.
Neutral to the terminal marked N or coloured Black or•
Brown.
Live to the terminal marked L or coloured Red or•
Brown.
When wiring the plug, ensure that all strands of wire are re-
tained in each terminal. The flexible main cable, plug and
socket must not be exposed to flue products or be allowed
to come in contact with a hot surface. The cable must not
be trapped or pulled taut when the appliance is pushed into
position.
THIS UNIT SHOULD NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES,
BE USED WITHOUT ADEQUATE EARTHING.

Start Your Appliance
Your unit will start upon initial plug-in. The message center
will display an amber “POWER FAILURE” message upon
initial plug-in due to your unit being powered-on at the
factory to verify performance and then powered-off. The
Sentry System™ refrigeration monitor senses a power out-
age has occurred and relays this information to you when
you initially power-up your unit. This is normal and press-
ing the “ON/OFF” button for one (1) second will reset this
alarm function.
If your unit does not start upon initial plug-in, push and
hold the “ON/OFF” key located on the display panel for
five (5) seconds.
Once loaded with wine bottles, allow at least 72 hours for
the unit to stabilize before making any adjustments to the
initial setting.
Set Your Temperature Mode
This product can display either Fahrenheit or Celsius. To
do so, press the “°F/C” key on the display panel.
Control Range
The unit is equipped with two individual refrigeration
compartments, each one independent of the other. The
available temperature range of each compartment is from
4 to 18 °C (40 to 65 °F). The control range allows flexibility
of temperature preferences and provides the ideal wine
storing and/or serving temperatures. Optimum efficien-
cies regarding performance and energy consumption are
achieved when the lower compartment is chosen as the
coldest compartment of the two compartments.
View Your Current Compartment Settings
Push the “SET” key once and the word “SET” and the cur-
rent set-point will be displayed in the upper compartment.
Push the “SET” key a second time and the word “SET” and
the current set-point will be displayed in the lower compart-
ment. Push the “SET” key a third time to exit view compart-
ment settings.
Change Compartment Temperatures
While the “SET” icon is displayed for a given chamber,
push the “WARMER” or “COLDER” key for your desired
temperature. Push the “SET” key to exit set-point mode
and activate your new temperature settings, or after 10
seconds the new settings will automatically be activated.
Interior Light and Switch
The interior light makes it easy to view your wine labels
and enhances the display of your collection. Pressing the
“LIGHT” key toggles between 2 modes of operation for
the internal lights: functional (default) mode and showcase
mode. If you are in functional (default) mode, the lights
will turn on only if the door is open. If you are in showcase
mode, the lights will be on whether or not the door is open.
When in showcase mode, a light indicator is illuminated on
the display.
Warning Alarms
Your dual zone wine cellar has been fitted with a Sentry
System™ refrigeration monitor. This monitor will let you
know that your cellar is functioning properly for optimum
wine storage and will alert you in the unlikely event there is
an unstable condition.
Door Ajar Alarm
If the door has been left open for over five (5) minutes, the
alarm will sound and the message center will display an
amber “DOOR AJAR” message.
High and Low Temperature
If your unit reaches temperatures outside normal operating
temperatures for your set point for one (1) hour or greater,
an alarm will sound and the message center will display ei-
ther a red “HI/LOW TEMP UPPER” or a red “HI/LOW TEMP
LOWER” message. This will warn you that your wines have
seen temperatures that are out of range.
Power Failure
If your unit experiences a power failure, the message center
will display an amber “POWER FAILURE” message.
Reset Alarms
Press the “ON/OFF” button for approximately one second.
This will reset all audible and display alarms.
Sabbath Mode
By enabling this mode, you will be disabling the display,
Sentry System™ message center, audible alarms and
interior lights. To enable Sabbath Mode, press and hold
the “SET” key while pressing the “°F/C” key 4 times within
7 seconds. To disable Sabbath Mode, repeat the enable
process. The Sabbath Mode will automatically disable after
72 hours. A power outage will not disable Sabbath Mode.

DUAL ZONE WINE STORAGE UNIT FEATURES

Independent Storage Compartments
Both compartments can be set for either temperature
range, red or white, but for more efficient energy usage
and functionality of the unit, it is better to use the top com-
partment for reds (warmer) and the bottom compartment
for whites (cooler).
Insert Wine Bottles
The five (5) upper shelves each hold eight (8) bottles in a
front to back fashion. See Figures 4 and 5 for typical wine
bottle spacing. The bottom shelf holds four (4) bottles in a
side to side fashion.
Roll-out Racks
The top five (5) roll-out wine racks may be pulled out
approximately 355 mm. to facilitate adding or removing
bottles and the bottom shelf may be pulled out approxi-
mately 196 mm. Do NOT lean on or press down heavily
on the wine shelves. Doing so may damage the shelves
and the wine bottles stored on them. Pull the wine racks
out gently and carefully to minimize unsettling your wine
collection. AVOID pulling out more than one rack at any
time to maintain stability.
Single Bottle Racks
Since bottles are not stacked on top of each other, you can
easily view and access your inventory without disturbing
other bottles (see Figure 5).
Vibration Neutralization System
The Vibration Neutralization System (VNS) is a unique
three-layer design that protects your wine from damaging
vibration without sacrificing cabinet capacity.
The compressor is isolated from the wine storage cav-1.
ity, virtually eliminating the transfer of vibration.
Vibration isolating mounts on the compressor offer a2.
second layer of protection from vibration transfer.
A vibration dampening mat inserted onto each shelf3.
absorbs any stray vibrations.

CARE AND CLEANING OF YOUR DUAL ZONE WINE STORAGE UNIT
Condenser
The condenser tubing inside the cabinet does not require
frequent cleaning; however, satisfactory cooling depends
on adequate ventilation over the coils. Be sure that noth-
ing obstructs the required air flow openings in front of the
cabinet. At least once or twice a year, brush or vacuum lint
and dirt from the condenser for efficient performance by
unscrewing the grille on the bottom front of the cabinet.
Cabinet
The painted cabinet can be washed with a mild soap and
water and thoroughly rinsed with clear water. NEVER use
abrasive scouring cleaners.
Interior
Wash interior compartment with mild soap and water. Do
NOT use an abrasive cleaner, solvent, polish cleaner or
undiluted detergent.
Roll-out Racks
The racks may be cleaned with mild soap and water and a
soft cloth. DO NOT use any abrasive cleaners.
Door Gasket
The vinyl gasket may be cleaned with mild soap and water,
a baking soda solution or a mild scouring powder.
Light Bulb Replacement
WARNING! DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD BEFORE
ATTEMPTING LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT. Failure to do so
may result in an electrical shock that could severely injure
you.
This product uses two, 6 watt light tubes to illuminate the
interior of the dual zone wine storage unit: one in the
upper compartment and one in the lower compartment.
The upper compartment light tube is located behind the
display housing. The lower compartment light tube is
located on the underside of the divider that separates the
compartments. The light tube is a very reliable electrical
component, but should it not function properly, please call
the dealer you purchased your dual zone wine storage unit
from for a replacement light tube. Use only an original
equipment light tube from your dealer or from Falcon.
Do NOT under any circumstance use a light tube that
exceeds 10 watts!
To replace the light tube, disconnect power to the unit.
Use a hex-head driver to remove the two hex-head screws
holding the old light tube in place. Disconnect the electri-
cal plug from the cabinet’s electrical receptacle and discard
the old light tube. Reconnect the electrical plug of the new
light tube to the cabinet’s electrical receptacle. Make sure
it is secure and fully installed.
Using the hex-head driver, resecure the two hex-head
screws to secure the light tube in place. Plug the unit into
the electrical socket. Check to see if the light tube operates
properly. Your light tube’s replacement is complete.
The light tubes are not covered by your warranty. Replace-
ment tubes can be obtained from your dealer or from
Falcon.
In the Event of a Power Failure
If a power failure occurs, try to correct it as soon as pos-
sible. Minimize the number of door openings while the
power is off so as not to adversely affect the unit’s tem-
perature.
Disposal
When you dispose of this product, do so in a way sympa-
thetic to the environment. For further information, contact
your local authority.
