2) Two cooling zones o There are two cooling zones inside of your wine cooler; they are separated by a middle partition. o Each cooling zone has an independent temperature control and temperature display. 3) Interior light o The wine cooler has an interior light. The light can be switched on and off by using the light control button (6). 4) The wine cooler shelves o The wooden shelves are fully adjustable to suit various wine bottle shapes and sizes.
o There can be an odour when you first switch on the appliance. It will lessen as the appliance starts to cool. During first use IMPORTANT: When you use the wine cooler for the first time or restart the appliance after it has been turned off for a long time, there could be a few degrees variance between the temperature you select and the one indicated on the LED display. This is normal and it is due to the length of activation time.
decrease by the same amount if you press the minus (3) button once. o When you set a new temperature for either of the zones, the display will show this temperature for 5 minutes before showing the actual zone temperature. During this time, the zone temperature will adjust accordingly. o When you are storing mostly red wines, the temperature needs to be set at 15°C - 22°C / 58°F - 71°F. The red LED lamp for red wine will light.
The humidity control box (optional) The wine cooler is equipped with a system for maintaining the correct level of humidity for wine storage. o Fill the small plastic reservoir (humidity box) ¾ full with water and replace. The humidity box is located on the top shelf and secured by runners. o Check the water level regularly and refill as necessary. o IMPORTANT: Please ensure the reservoir is positioned correctly on the runners to avoid the possibility of water spillage.
Storing your wines The chart below indicates the ideal storage temperatures for different types of wine: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 – 50.9°F 55°F * Light red wines, such as Beaujolais, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Franc benefit from being served slightly cooler than full-bodied reds.
o Wines kept at a higher temperature will age faster. Wine that is exposed to temperatures that are greater than 22°C (71°F) will suffer from poorer flavour and aroma. o If wine is kept at too low a temperature, this can result in the development of harmful deposits. A humidity of 70% is ideal for keeping corks from shrinking. o After a bottle of wine has been opened, the wine comes into contact with air.
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.
o You should be careful to make sure that wine bottles do not touch the rear wall of the appliance, as this can interrupt the automatic defrosting process and deflect water into the base of your wine cooler. Removing the shelves for cleaning o To remove any of the shelves from the rail compartment, move the shelf to the position where the notch of wooden shelf is exactly under the plastic post and lift the wooden shelf. Please ensure these are replaced when the shelf is put back.
Power failure o Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your appliance if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. o If the power is going to be off for a longer period of time, you need to take the proper steps to protect the contents. IMPORTANT: If the appliance is unplugged, the power is lost or turned off you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the wine cooler.
Installation IMPORTANT: Before installation and usage read all the instructions and make sure that the voltage (V) and the frequency (Hz) indicated on the rating plate are exactly the same as the voltage and frequency in your home. The rating plate can be found on the front left edge of the inside of the wine cooler.
o When the connection is completed, no stray strands or cut wire should be present. The cord clamp must be secured over the outer sheath. Positioning o It is advisable that your appliance is only installed in a location where the ambient temperature of the room, corresponds with the climate classification that is stated on the rating plate of your appliance. Your appliance may not function correctly if the ambient temperature falls outside of the following ranges.
