INOXPAN S.L. WINE CABINETS
5.5 DEFROSTING / HIGROMETRY / VENTILATION
The unit has an automatic defrosting system. During the "switching off cycle" the evaporator at
the rear of the unit will automatically defrost.
Condensation is accumulated in the drainage tray at the rear of the unit and some of it flows
through the drainage hole in the drip tray above the compressor.
Heat is transferred from the discharge tube or the compressor, evaporating any condensation
accumulated in the tray. Part of the remaining water is collected inside the unit for humidity
purposes.
This system keeps correct humidity inside the unit, something that natural cork, needs to maintain
its sealing properties and long life.
The unit is not completely sealed from the outside: Fresh air can enter through the drainage
tube. Air circulates through the unit, moved by a fan/fans through the gaps between the
shelves.
NOTE: Frost may accumulate on the evaporator if the unit is opened frequently and it is very hot
or the unit is located in a very humid place. If the frost does not disappear within 24 hours, the
unit will require manual defrosting.
IMPORTANT:
Do not locate the wine cabinet, especially integrated models, with sources of heat under it,
such as freezers, ovens, stoves, etc.
This may result in the compressor working all the time and the unit will produce an excessive
amount of ice, affecting correct operation of the internal fans and the compressor itself.
