8 Defrosting and Cleaning
8.1 Automatic defrosting
The cabinet is equipped with an automatic defrost cycle. When the cooling cycle is
finished, the refrigerated parts of the cabinet are defrosted automatically. The water
from the defrosting process is channelled into an evaporation tray located in the back
of the cabinet, close to the compressor.
The heat from the compressor then
evaporates the water from the tray, drawing it up by the charcoal filter and bringing
humidity inside.
The wine cabinet produces cold air that is heavier than the warm air, so it drops
slowly. This creates pressure and the air is pushed out by the hole located in the
lower part of the appliance.
When the compressor is on, it heats and evaporates the water from the evaporation
tray. The warm, wet air rises and is sucked into the carbon filter. Eventually, the
humidity in the air turns to ice. When the compressor stops, the internal temperature
will increase slowly, the ice will melt, and condensation will appear.
The excess condensation will be collected by the water tank located on the
compressor. When the compressor starts again, the closed air circulation circuit
starts again.
8.2 Cleaning
Normally the wine cabinet does not require any specific maintenance, except that the
activated charcoal filter should be replaced once a year. However, if a cleaning is
considered necessary, disconnect and clean the cabinet inside and outside using a
soft detergent mixed with warm water. Do not use solvents or abrasive agents. Rinse
