Description of the product features 1) Temperature control dial o The temperature control dial is located at the top right hand corner of the appliance, behind the glass door. It should be turned to set the temperature that the wine cooler is chilling at. o On the BW18BL, the temperature control dial is located at the front of the wine cooler, in the top right hand corner. o On the BW28BL, the temperature control dial is located at the rear of the wine cooler, in the top right hand corner.
Using your Baumatic wine cooler Before switching on o Make sure that it has been installed by a suitably qualified person, as per the information contained in Baumatic’s installation instructions. o The outside of the appliance and the removable accessories contained within it, should be cleaned with a solution of liquid detergent and water. o The interior of the appliance should be cleaned with a solution of sodium bicarbonate dissolved in lukewarm water.
Setting the temperature o When the appliance is connected to your mains supply, the power ON light will switch on. o Use the temperature control dial to set the temperature within the wine cooler. o If you set the control dial to the word “Low”, then the wine cooler will achieve a lower temperature. o If you set the control dial to the word “Med”, then the wine cooler will achieve a midpoint temperature (BW28BL only).
Interior light o To operate the interior light, you should use the light ON/OFF switch (2). Loading the wine cooler o IMPORTANT: Your appliance is ideally suited to store 0.75 litre wine bottles. Whilst it can store larger bottles, you must make sure that they do not prevent the door from shutting properly. o Always check that you can close the door without it fouling on a wine bottle, before shutting it.
Storing your wines The chart below indicates the ideal storage temperatures for different types of wine. Please note that regardless of the information given below, your appliance can only achieve a temperature of between 10°C and 18°C. Type of wine Red wine (*) White wine (**) Sparkling wines/champagne Rose wine Vintage wine Temperature (Celsius) 15.5 – 18.5°C 10 - 15°C 7.2 – 9.5°C Temperature (Fahrenheit) 59.9 – 65.3°F 50 – 59°F 45 – 49.1°F 9.5 – 10.5°C 13°C 49.1 – 50.
o Special stoppers that keep wine sparking and Champagne bubbling for one or two days after opening, can be bought at most good wine shops. o When stored correctly, white wines can keep well for up to two years. Full bodied reds will age well for ten years and dessert wines will age well for up to twenty years. o When you buy a bottle of wine, you should transfer it to a suitable storage location immediately (if you are not going to store it in your wine cooler).
Wine storage problems Corking- a tiny percentage of bottled wine (about 1%) will suffer from this. The cork reacts with the wine and gives it a musty, unpleasant taste. It is the most common wine storage problem and is caused by harmless bacteria growing on the cork. As unfortunate as this is, there is nothing to do but to discard all of the wine in the affected bottle. This is not to be confused with small fragments of cork floating in the wine itself, which will not impair the flavour.
Cleaning and maintenance WARNING: PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOUR APPLIANCE IS DISCONNECTED FROM YOUR MAINS SUPPLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CLEAN IT. o Do not clean the appliance by pouring water onto it or spraying water over it. o The interior of the wine cooler should be cleaned periodically, using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water. o Clean the accessories separately with soap and water. Do not clean them in a dishwasher. o Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps.
Defrosting o Defrosting occurs automatically inside of the wine cooler during operation. The defrost water is collected by the evaporating tray and evaporates automatically. o The evaporating tray and defrost water drain hole should be cleaned periodically. This will prevent water from collecting in the bottom of the wine cooler, instead of flowing down the defrost drainage channel and drain hole. o You can also pour a small amount of water down the drain hole to clean inside of it.
