In case of a power cut
Most power cuts are resolved within a short time. A power cut of 1 or 2 hours will not affect the
temperature in your cabinet. To protect your wines during a power cut, avoid opening the door as
much as possible. During very long power cuts, take the necessary measures to protect your wine.
• If the appliance is disconnected or if there is a power cut, you must wait three to five minutes
before re- starting. If you try to re-start before this time, the compressor will only re-start after 3 to 5
minutes (if the temperature requires).
• When switching on for the first time or following a prolonged shutdown, it is possible that when re-
starting, the temperatures selected and those displayed are not the same. This is normal. It will
take a few hours before they stabilize.
Vacation time
• Short vacations: leave the wine cooler operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
• Long vacations: if the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all items and turn off
the appliance. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the
door open slightly: blocking it open if necessary.
Moving your wine cooler
•
Remove all items.
•
Securely tape down all loose items (shelves) inside your appliance.
•
Turn the adjustable leg up to the base to avoid damage.
•
Tape the door shut.
•
Be sure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation. Also protect
outside of appliance with a blanket, or similar item.
Energy saving tips
•
The wine cooler should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing
appliances, and out of the direct sunlight.
•
Ensure that the unit is adequately ventilated. Never cover air vents.
•
Only open the door for as long as necessary.
