ACCESSORY INSTALLATION BEFORE OPERATING
UNPACKING AND CLEANING THE WINE COOLER
• Remove the exterior and interior packing materials.
•
Let the appliance stand upright for approximately 24 hours before connecting it to the power source,
which helps to reduce the possibility of a cooling-system malfunction from handling during
transportation.
• Use a soft cloth to clean the interior surface with lukewarm water.
• Install the door handle provided with the appliance by following these steps:
-Remove the gasket on the internal
door to expose the two screw holes.
-Install the handle with the
screws and washers provided.
Restore the gasket.
OPERATING THE WINE COOLER
WORKING CLIMATE
• The appliance is designed for operating from SN to N climate (see below climate class chart). It is
recommended to maintain the ambient around 22-25°C which helps the appliance working with low power
consumption.
Climate Class
Ambient Temperature
SN
10 - 32 °C (50ºF-90ºF)
N
16 - 32 °C (61ºF-90ºF)
ST
18-38 °C (64ºF-100ºF)
T
18-43 °C (64ºF-109ºF)
• If the ambient temperature is above or below the designed climate range, the performance of the unit may
be affected. For example, the appliance operating in extreme cold or hot conditions may cause interior
temperatures to fluctuate, and the temperature set 5-22°C may not be reached sometimes.
WINE STORAGE
• The standard shelves are designed perfectly for Bordeaux style bottle storage. The maximum bottle loading
may vary subject to the different size or dimension of wine bottles you store.
• The shelves can be pulled out by approximately 1/3 for easy access to the wine storage.
• The shelves are fitted with a plastic Stopper on each side of the shelf track to prevent the shelf from sliding
out completely.
