Charcoal filter:
In order to preserve the quality and taste of your fine wines, they must be stored at
the ideal temperature and ambient conditions. Your cellar is equipped with an active
charcoal filtration system to ensure air purity, cooling efficiency, and to maintain an
odor free cabinet for the storage of your fine wines. The filter assembly is located at
the rear panel inside your cellar. Keep in mind, that this filter must be changed every
12 months.
Hold the filter and turn it at 45 degrees in the counter-clockwise direction and then
pull it out. Put the new filter into the hole and then turn the filter at 45 degrees in
clockwise direction.
Before cleaning your appliance (something that should be done regularly), disconnect it by removing
the plug or by pulling the fuse on the circuit.
Before using your appliance for the first time and regularly after that, we recommend that you clean
the inside and outside (front, side and top) with warm mixed with a gentle cleaning product. Rinse with
clean water and allow drying before reconnecting. Do not use solvents or abrasives.
When the appliance is switched on for the first time, there may be a residual odor. In that case, runt
the appliance empty for a few hours at the coldest possible temperature. The cold will kill any odors.
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.
