Warning: Never attempt to remove frost with a sharp object!
Normal Sounds
Your new wine refrigerator may make sounds that are not familiar to you. Most of the new
sounds are normal. Hard surfaces like the floor and walls can make the sounds seem louder
than they actually are. The following describes the kinds of sounds that might be new to you
and what may be making them.
Rattling noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant or the water line. Items stored on
top of the wine refrigerator can also make noises.
The high efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high-pitched sound.
Water running from the evaporator to the water bin may make a splashing sound.
As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your
wine refrigerator.
You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.
Defrosting
Note that under most refrigerating settings, the unit will automatically defrost under most
ambient conditions. However, on colder settings, some frost may build up. Additionally, the
more humid the ambient conditions, the more frost may build up. Keep the doors closed as
much as possible and avoid opening the doors unnecessarily to minimize frost build-up.
If frost is preventing the doors from closing properly, you may need to power the unit off until
the frost melts. Use a soft absorbent towel to dry the unit.
Preparing the Wine Refrigerator for Storage
If the wine refrigerator will not be used for a long time, or is to be moved to another place, it will
be necessary to defrost the unit and dry the interior.
1. Disconnect the wine cooler from the power supply by removing the power plug from the
wall socket.
2. Leave the doors open to allow for air circulation and to prevent mold, mildew, and
unpleasant smells.
IMPORTANT:
• Do not touch the power plug
when your hands are wet.
• Never unplug the unit by
pulling on the plug.
Caution: Store the unit out of the reach of children. If you have children, you may want to take
additional precautions such as removing the doors to prevent a child from being trapped
inside the cooler!
Important:
Do not touch the power plug when your hands are wet.
Never unplug the unit by pulling on the plug.
