only.
Wine cellar should be placed where the ambient temperature is proper (Please view
the end of Manual). If the temperature is above or below this range, it will affect the
performance of the cellar. Placing in cold or hot temperature conditions may cause
cellar's temperatures fluctuating, and it will not reach the ideal one.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
The wine cellar must be grounded in case of wire leakage. Grounding reduces the risk
of electrical shock. The wine cellar is equipped with a power cord having a grounding
wire and plug. The wine cellar plug must be plugged into a properly affixed and
grounded electrical outlet.
Note: In locations where there is frequent lightning, it is advisable to use surge
protectors.
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in the risk of electric shock. Consult a
qualified electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified person to avoid
electrical hazard.
INSTALLING YOUR WINE CELLAR
Unpack and remove all the protection and adhesive strips from the packaging around
and inside the wine cellar.
The wine cellar must be positioned such that the plug is accessible. Release the
power cord. Move your wine cellar to its final location. The wine cellar should be
installed in a suitable place where the compressor will not be subject to physical
contact.
Levelling your wine cellar: Wine cellar must be levelled BEFORE loading your wines.
Your wine cellar is equipped with 4 adjustable feet to facilitate easy levelling. We
recommend that you tighten the back feet to the maximum and adjust the front feet
to level the wine cellar.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Please follow the installation diagram when installing wine cellars. No less than
the minimum installation dimension, or it will affect the venting of cellar.
2. All WCI and WI models have rear ventilation and must be able to draw air from
underneath the appliance.
3. All wine cellars have a power switch located on the control panel, so power
point location is not critical.
4. The wine cellar requires a standard 240 volt/10-amp power point. (Or according
to different countries specifications).
5. The power cord is 2.0m in length and is fixed on the right side at the back when
looking from front of cabinet.
6. As with most appliances of today, the wine cellar has sensitive electronic
components which are susceptible to damage through lightning and electricity
supply faults. It is therefore advised to use a power surge protector to avoid
problems of this nature.
7. IMPORTANT: The manufacturer does not recommend installing the wine cabinet
directly above a built-in oven. Depending on how often the wine cabinet is
exposed to heat from the oven, it can affect the wine cabinet's ability to cool the
wine and maintain an even temperature, and both the wine cabinet and its
contents can be damaged. The manufacturer will carry out service on the wine
cabinet in accordance with current legislation if the cabinet’s ventilation
requirements are carried out correctly, however the manufacturer cannot be
held responsible for the contents inside the wine cabinet if installed above a
built-in oven.
In Hot climate zone, an air vent or grid, with a minimum ventilation size of 200mm x
40mm MUST be cut out at the rear top of the back partitioning or at the top of either
side of the partitioning, allowing cool fresh air full access to flow into the 30mm gap
located at the rear of the cabinet.
This air vent or grid must not be opened on the same side as other appliances such as
ovens or an area that is sealed and without access to fresh cool air. Failing to comply
with the above specifications could result in WARRANTY void.

INSTALLATION DRAWINGS
Ensure good ventilation according to the installation drawings, otherwise it will affect
the wine cooler working normally.
Note: The appliance must be positioned so that the plug is accessible after
installed.

TURNING ON YOUR WINE CELLAR
Plug in and switch on the cellar by pressing on the power button for a few seconds.
When you use the wine cellar for the first time (or restart the wine cellar after having
it shut off for a long time), there will be a few degrees variance between the
temperature you have selected and the one indicated on the LED readout. This is
normal and it is due to the length of the activation time. Once the wine cellar is
running for a few hours everything will stabilize.
Important: If the unit is unplugged, power is lost, or turned off, wait 3 to 5 minutes
before restarting the unit. The wine cellar will not start if you attempt to restart
before this time delay.
OPERATING NOISES
To reach the desired temperature settings, our wine cellars, like all wine cellars
operating with compressors and fans, may produce the following types of noises.
These noises are normal and may occur as follows:
•Gurgling sound - caused by the refrigerant flowing through the appliance’s coils.
•Cracking/popping sounds - resulting from the contraction and expansion of the
refrigerant gas to produce cold.
•Fan operating sound - to circulate the air within the wine cellar.
An individual’s perception of noise is directly linked to the environment in which the
wine cellar is located, as well the specific type of models. Our wine cellars are in line
with international standards for such appliance. We will always do its utmost to
satisfy its customers but will not retake possession of the goods due to complaints
based on normal operating noise occurrences.
LOADING YOUR WINE CELLAR
You may load your wine bottles in single or double rows while taking note of the
following: if you do not have enough bottles to fill your wine cellar, it is better to
distribute the load throughout the wine cellar to avoid “all on top” or “all below”
type loads.
•Do remove or relocate adjustable wooden shelves to accommodate larger type
of bottles or increase the capacity of the cellar by stacking the bottles up when
necessary. (See removing shelves)

17
•Keep small gap between the walls and the bottles to allow air circulation. Like an
underground cellar air circulation is important to prevent mould and for a better
homogeneous temperature within the cellar.
DANGER!
•Do not overload your wine cellar to facilitate air circulation.
•Do not stack more than 1.5 rows of standard 0.75L bottles per shelves to
facilitate air circulation.
•Avoid obstructing the internal fans (located inside on the back panel of the wine
cellar).
•Do not slide the shelves outwards beyond the fixed position to prevent the
bottles from falling.
•Do not pull out more than one loaded shelf at a time as this may cause the wine
cellar to tilt forward.
•Do not cover the wooden shelves with alloy foil or other materials, as it will
obstruct air circulation.
•Do not move your wine cellar while it is loaded with wines. This might distort the
body of the wine cellar and cause back injury.
TYPES OF REGULATION
Please note that depending on the loading and settings chosen it takes about 24
hours for the wine cellar to see the temperature stabilizing.
During this time LED seems to move erratically in particular, it is normal, and this
process occurs whenever the setting is modified and/or whenever many bottles are
added to the cellar.
Designed to store and mature all wines: red, white, and sparkling. These wine cellars
reproduce the ideal conditions for wine storage, at a constant recommended
temperature of 12ºC. They can also be set to provide ideal serving temperature for
full enjoyment of the wine’s qualities. Unless stated by the wine maker on the bottle
we recommend 7ºC for your champagne, 12ºC for whites and 18ºC for reds. (Refer to
“Wine Service Temperature” recommendation chart)

18
TEMPERATURE SETTINGS
Important: The LED displays by default the actual internal air temperature.
The temperature of the power, before all Settings will be resumed after the
electricity to power the pre-set temperature.
The electrical board of all models comes with memory function.
It is important to understand that there is a difference between the air temperature
inside the wine cellar and the actual temperature of the wine: You will need to wait
approximately 12 hours before noticing the effects of temperature adjustment due
to the critical mass within a full wine cellar.
Once the temperature is set, it is strongly advised not to toy with it or adjust
frequently. The thermostat will maintain the temperature inside the wine cellar
within a +/- 2.5ºC range. But the thermal inertia of the wine and the glass is such that
within this temperature range, the actual temperature of the wine will only fluctuate
0.5ºC to 1ºC.
If the light is turned off before you get the door closed, then light will turn on
automatically while you open the door, and it will be off automatically when the door
is closed. If you want to keep the light always on, just turn on the light after you open
the door.
