Operation and Controls
• For easy access of the wine bottles, you must pull the shelves approximately ⅓ out of the railing.
• The shelves are designed with an emergency stop to prevent them being removed too far when loaded.
• When removing the shelves out of the railing, make sure to remove all items first.
• To remove the shelves, pull the shelf forward until the notch aligns with the plastic post. Lift the shelf and
continue to pull the shelf forward until it is completely removed from the internal compartment.
NORMAL SOUNDS
The unit is cooled by a compressor. The compressor pumps refrigerant through the cooling system, producing
operating noises. Even when the compressor shuts off, noises caused by changes in temperature and
pressure are unavoidable. Operating noise will be most audible immediately after the compressor comes on.
It becomes quieter as the operating period continues.
The following noises are normal and occur from time to time:
• Gurgling sound, caused by the refrigerant flowing through the appliance’s coils,
• Humming noise made by the compressor. This noise can get louder for brief periods when the motor is
switching on.
• Cracking/popping sounds, resulting from the materials contraction and expansion due to temperature vari-
ations,
• Fan operating sound, to circulate the air within the wine cabinet.
• Unusual noise is normally the result of improper installation.
• Where the unit is installed in open-plan kitchen or in partition walls, the level of operating noise will be
heard more acutely. However, this is due to the surrounding architecture and not to the unit.
NOTE: An individual’s perception of noise is directly linked to the environment in which the unit is located, as
well the specific type of model. Our appliances are in line with international standards for such appliance and
in line with the latest technical developments. Please remember that the noise of the compressor and the
refrigerant circulating in the system is unavoidable.
DEFROSTING AND VENTILATION
Your wine refrigerator is designed with an automatic defrost system. During off-cycle, the evaporator behind
the rear wall of the unit defrosts automatically. Condensation is collected in the drain at the back of the unit
and flows through the drainage hole into the drip tray above the compressor. The heat is transferred from
compressor and evaporates any condensation that has collected in the drip tray. Part of the remaining water
within the wine refrigerator is collected for humidity purposes.
NOTE: Frost may accumulate on the evaporator if the unit is repeatedly opened in a high heat or high humidi-
ty location. If this frost pattern does not clear within 24 hours, your unit will require manual defrosting.
