WINE CARE
Having purchased our dual-zone Integrated Column — Wine Cabinet, you can rest
assured that your wines are well cared for. Your Integrated Column — Wine Cabinet
model has been designed to carefully consider both the maturation and ideal drinking
temperature of all wine varieties. Our Wine Modes have been created to offer guidance
for the perfect storage conditions for your wine, whilst allowing you adjustability to suit
your personal needs.
Temperature
Temperature control is critical for the maturation of wines, as significant daily or weekly
temperature fluctuations can denature wines. If storage temperatures are excessively
high this can reduce the wines aromatic potential and can speed up maturation. This
can cause some wines to take on a ‘spoiled fruit’ flavouring. If storage temperatures are
excessively low, this can have the opposite effect and stunt a wine’s natural maturation
process. This can prevent a wine’s flavours from developing to their full potential.
Humidity
Optimum humidity levels are also important for the storage of cork enclosed wines,
especially for long term storage. Dry environments can lead to dried out corks
encouraging wine evaporation as well as oxygen permeation leading to oxidised wine.
As for extremely humid conditions, there is potential for mould growth on bottles and
labels.
UV-Tempered Glass Door
Light is known to be damaging to wines, particularly UV light. Light can react with wine,
creating hydrogen sulphide compounds affecting the tannins and colour. Your Integrated
Column — Wine Cabinet has been designed to eliminate this threat by incorporating a
double UV-tempered glass door, dark interiors and dimmed LED lighting.
Vibration
Your Integrated Column — Wine Cabinet model has been designed to have minimal
vibrations, important for optimal wine care.
Ventilation
Wine should be stored in an odour-free environment. You Integrated Column — Wine
Cabinet model comes with an activated carbon air filter to assist with removing taint
and odour inside each compartment.
Helpful tips:
 Follow our pre-set Wine Modes as a guideline for optimal storage and the perfect
drinking temperature.
 For entertaining, choose from one of our four Light Modes. Light Modes will default to
Low after a certain duration to ensure the best wine care.
 If storing wine for long durations we recommend turning the Light Mode to Off.
 Store bottles lying flat on their sides to keep the liquid up against the cork which should
keep the corks from drying out.
 Allow red wine to breathe. We suggest opening the bottle at least 1 hour before serving.
Alternatively, decant red wine into a decanter.

capacity of 91 standard 750ml bottles. The loading arrangement outlined is
recommended when using the wine cabinet at full capacity. Racks may be removed to
store larger sized bottles.
DOs
 Before loading wine into the cabinet confirm
that all racks are secured and stable.
 Stack wine bottles of same sizes to enable
easy access if required.
 Only interlock wine bottles of the same size.
This ensures the first tier is stable to allow
stacking.
 Follow the recommended loading arrangement
outlined for each rack.
DON’Ts
 Do not load more than the recommended
number of wine bottles on each rack.

CLEANING CARE — EXTERIOR
Glass door
Use only mild liquid detergent dissolved in warm water and a soft cloth. Rinse with
clean water and dry with a clean, lint-free cloth.
Stainless steel door panel
Use only mild liquid detergent dissolved in warm water and a soft cloth. Rinse with
clean water and dry with a clean, lint-free cloth.
Toe kick grilles and filter
Your Integrated Column — Wine Cabinet is fitted with a toe kick grille to protect the
internal working components. We recommend cleaning the grille.
 The condenser coils of your Integrated Column — Wine Cabinet require periodic
cleaning by a Fisher&Paykel trained service technician.
 To maximize operating efficiency, keep ventilation openings clear of obstructions by
regularly vacuuming the flooring in front of your appliance.
 More frequent cleaning may be necessary for dusty homes or those with pets sheddinghair.
Other exterior surfaces
 We recommend to clean the magnetic door gasket every three months with a brush (eg
old toothbrush) and liquid dishwashing agent dissolved in warm water.
IMPORTANT!
 Many commercially available cleaning products contain solvents which may attack
plastic components of your Integrated Column — Wine Cabinet and cause them

IMPORTANT!
Remove all wooden racks prior to cleaning.
 Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasives, ammonia, chlorine, bleach, concentrated
detergents, solvents or abrasive scouring pads on any part of your appliance.
Some of these chemicals may damage your appliance.
 Wipe interior surfaces with a mild liquid detergent dissolved in warm water and a soft
cloth. Rinse with clean water and dry with a clean, lint-free cloth.
Wooden racks
Do not use water or cleaners for general (day-to-day) cleaning as they will damage
the wood. Wine spills should be immediately wiped up to avoid rack staining. If a wine
stain has appeared, it may be spot cleaned using mild liquid detergent dissolved in
warm water and a soft cloth. Only just dampen the cloth and dab the stain to keep the
wood as dry as possible. Follow up using a damp (water only), soft cloth and then dry
thoroughly with a clean, dry cloth. If racks are heavily stained, the color may darken
over time.
Replacement racks can be purchased through Fisher & Paykel Customer Care Center, or
online at finsherpaykel.com (this service is available to selected markets only)

USER WARNINGS AND SOUNDS
Faults
 In the unlikely event a fault occurs, 4rapid beeps will be heard and the fault
will be displayed on the control panel.
– Record the fault code displayed on the control panel and contact a
Fisher&Paykeltrained and supported service technician in order to
repair thefault. You can do this by going online to fisherpaykel.com or
bycontactingourCustomer Care Center.
Normal appliance sounds
This wine column has been designed to have excellent energy ratings and cooling
performance. As a result, it can produce sounds somewhat different to your
oldappliance.
Normal operational sounds include:
 Low frequency ticking sound. This is the valve that controls cooling to each
compartment. This noise will only last for a few seconds at a time.
 Fan air flow sound. Integrated Columns has fans which change speed depending on
demand. During cooling periods, such as after frequent door openings, fans circulate
thecoldair in the appliance producing some air flow sound. This is quite normal.
 Cracking or popping sounds. This may occur when the automatic defrost function
isoperating.
 Running water sound. This is the liquid refrigerant in the system and can be heard
asaboiling or gurgling noise.
 Humming sounds. This is the compressor running and is quite normal.
 Other sounds may be heard for the following reasons:
– Floor uneven or weak.
