It may take up to 24 hours for each compartment to
reach the desired temperature.
If the refrigerator was stored for a long period of time
or moved on its side, it is necessary for the refrigerator
to stand upright for 24 hours before connecting it to
power.
Modern refrigerators require more operating time but
use less energy due to more efficient technology.
The refrigerator will take up to 24 hours to cool
completely.
Adding wine bottles and opening the door warms the
refrigerator, requiring the compressor to run longer in
order to cool the refrigerator back down. In order to
conserve energy, try to get everything you need out of
the refrigerator at once, keep wine bottles organized
so they are easy to find, and close the door as soon
as the wine bottle is removed.
Firmly push the doors shut. If they will not shut all the
way, see the "Doors will not close correctly or pop
open" section.
The compressor will run longer under warm conditions.
At normal room temperatures (70 °F/21 °C) expect
your compressor to run about 40-80 % of the time.
Under warmer conditions, expect it to run even more
often. The refrigerator should not be operated above
100 °F/38 °C.
