Setting the Temperature Control
•
The unit has a single adjustable temperature zone. The temperature
can be set between 5°C and 20°C (41°F and 68°F). It can be used as
a wine maturing cabinet or a wine serving cabinet. The recommend-
ed temperature setting range for maturing wine is between 11°C
and 14°C (52°F and 57°F). The recommended temperature setting
range for serving white wine is between 5°C and 10°C (41°F and
50°F) and the recommended temperature setting range for serving
red wine is between 15°C and 20°C (58°F and 68°F).
•
When the unit is plugged in for the first time, the unit will power up
automatically to the preset defaults. The temperature preset at the
factory is 12°C (54°F) (ideal maturing temperature).
•
You can set the temperature as required by touching the UP or DOWN
key. When you touch either key at the first time, the display will show
the last temperature set previously. The temperature will increase
1°C/1°F if you touch the UP key once, or the temperature will de-
crease 1°C/1°F if you touch the DOWN key once. The display flashes
while you make the setting.
•
After the temperature has been set, the display shows the current
inner temperature.
•
To view the set temperature at any time, touch the UP or DOWN
key and the set temperature will temporarily flash in the display for
5 seconds. Then the display shows the current inner temperature
again.
TEMPERATURE DISPLAY
During normal operation, the temperature display on the control panel
shows the temperature inside the appliance. The temperature display
will flash if
•
A different temperature is being set,
•
The temperature in the zone deviates by more than 5°C (9°F) from
the set temperature.
The temperature display flashing ensures that the temperature cannot
rise or fall unnoticed and impair the wine.
TEMPERATURE MEMORY FUNCTION
In the event of a power interruption (power surge, breaker switch, etc.),
the unit remembers the previous temperature settings. When the power
is recovered, the cabinet temperature will go back the same setting tem-
perature as before the power interruption.
TEMPERATURE ALARM
An audible alarm will sound if the temperature rises or falls outside the
temperature range. The temperature display will flash at the same time.
The temperature the appliance is set at determines the temperature the
appliance recognizes as being too warm or too cool.
The audible alarm will sound and the temperature display will flash:
•
When you switch the appliance on, if the temperature inside the ap-
pliance is very different from the temperature set.
•
When there has been a lengthy interruption to the power supply.
•
When too many items have been put into the unit at one time. Or too
much ambient air flowed in when rearranging and removing storage
items.
•
When the door is not been closed tightly.
•
The appliance is faulty.
