the wine cabinet.
Unusual noise is normally the result of improper
installation. Under no circumstances must tubing
come into contact with a wall, other furniture or with
other tubing.
If this wine cooler is placed in an open kitchen or
next to partition walls, the operating noise will echo
and feel louder. This is only due to its surroundings
and not the unit itself. To lessen the amount of noise,
we recommend placing this unit next to structure
walls.
DEFROSTING
Your wine cooler is designed with Automatic defrost
system. When the compressor on your unit is off,
the evaporator behind the rear wall of the unit
defrosts automatically. The condensate collects in
the drain trough behind the rear wall of the unit and
flows through the drainage hole into the drip tray
by/above the compressor. The heat is transferred
from the discharge pipe or compressor and
evaporates any condensation that has collected in
the tray.
NOTE: The frost may be accumulated on the
evaporator if the unit is repeatedly opened in a high
heat or high humidity location. If this frost pattern
does not clear within 24 hours, your unit will require
manual defrosting.
BOTTLE STORAGE
Capacity: 16 standard wine bottles in the upper zone
and 30 standard wine bottles in the lower zone.
Please note that many bottles may differ in size and
dimensions. As a result, the actual number of bottles
you will be able to store may vary.
Bottle capacities are approximate maximums when
storing traditional Bordeaux 750 ML bottles and
include bulk storage.
You may load your wine bottles in a single row or by
stacking. If you do not have enough bottles to fill
your unit, it is better to distribute the load throughout
the unit so as to avoid "all on top" or "all below" type
storage.
- Remove or relocate adjustable
shelves to accommodate larger type of bottles
or increase the capacity of the cellar by
stacking the bottles up when necessary. (See
Removing Shelves section on page 12).
- Keep small gaps between the walls and the
bottles to allow air circulation. Like an
underground cellar, air circulation is important
for preventing mold and
temperature within the cellar.
- Do not over load your unit in order to better
facilitate air circulation.
- Avoid obstructing the internal fans (located
inside at the back of the wine cellar).
- Do not try to 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 if not properly installed.
