INSTALLATION
Location
When selecting a position for your unit make sure the floor is flat and firm, and that the room is well
ventilated with an average room temperature of between 16°C and 32°C. Avoid locating your unit near
a heat source, e.g. a cooker, boiler or radiator. Avoid direct sunlight. If you are placing your unit in an
outbuilding such as a garage or annex ensure that the unit is placed above the damp course, otherwise
condensation will occur on the cabinet. Never place the unit in a wall recess or into fitted cabinets or
furniture.
When installing the unit, ensure that 2 cm of free space is left at both sides and 3 cm at the rear of the
unit. The door can open to the right or the left, depending on what better suits the location. Please
ensure there is adequate space for the door to fully open.
• If you want to have the door swing reversed, we recommend that you contact a qualified
technician. You should only try to reverse the door yourself if you believe that you are qualified
to do so.
• All parts removed must be saved to do the reinstallation of the door. You should rest the unit
on something solid so that it will not slip during the door change process. Do not lay the unit
flat as this may damage the coolant system. Ensure the unit is unplugged and empty.
Installing the Door Handle
1. Remove the 2 decorated caps on the left hand side of the
front of the glass door.

INSTALLATION
12. Set the door back onto the bottom hinge, re-attach the top
hinge bracket to where it was located on the opposite side
(right to left).
13. Check that the door is aligned horizontally and vertically and
that the seals are closed on all sides before finally tightening
the bottom hinge. Re-adjust the levelling feet.
Adjusting the door
If the door supporter is blocking the door, or the door
becomes unbalanced during use, please adjust using 1 of
the following methods:
1. Insert 2 or 3 plastic rings on to the bottom door hinge.
2. If the door supporter is not needed, please change it to
the supplied levelling foot.
Levelling the Unit
To do this use the two levelling feet at the front of the unit.
If the unit is not level, the door and magnetic seal alignments will
not be covered properly.
Cleaning Before Use
Wipe the inside of the unit with a weak solution of bicarbonate soda. Then rinse with warm water using
a ‘wrung-out’ sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before replacing the shelves and bottle rack. Clean
the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth.
If you require more information refer to the Cleaning section.
• Before Plugging in YOU MUST
Check that you have a socket which is compatible with the plug supplied with the unit.
• Before Turning On!
Do not turn on until two hours after moving the unit. The coolant fluid needs time to settle.
Before Using Your Unit
Before placing any wine in the unit, turn it on and wait for 24 hours, to make sure it is working properly
and to allow it time to fall to the correct temperature. Your unit should not be overfilled.

Operation
Switching On Your Wine Cooler
1. Press the POWER
button to switch on the Wine Cooler.
2. You can select the temperature display setting from Fahrenheit to Celsius degrees by pressing the °C/°F
button. When Fahrenheit is selected, the °F indicator will illuminate on the display. When Celsius is
selected, the °C indicator will illuminate on the display.
3. You can turn the interior light on or off by pressing the
button.
4. You can set the temperature in the upper / lower chamber by pressing the respective
or
button.
The flashing number shown on the display represents the selected temperature. After the selected
temperature is set, the display will show the actual temperature. The temperature will then gradually
adjust to your selected temperature.
5. The upper chamber temperature can be set from 12°C to 22°C, and the lower chamber temperature
from 5°C to 12°C. You can increase or decrease 1°C (or 1°F) with each press of the
or
button. To
avoid frost build up, the temperature should be set above 7°C when the ambient temperature is above
28°C.
When you use the wine cooler for the first time or restart the wine cooler after having been shut off
for a long time, there could be some frost form inside the compartment. There could also be a few
degrees variance between the temperature you select and the one indicated on the display. This
is normal and it due to the length of the activation time. Once the wine cooler is running for a few
hours everything will be back to normal.
6. If you are concerned that the temperature display of wine
cooler is not correct and wish to check the temperature
you will need a special fridge/freezer thermometer.
You may also need a hygrometer to check the humidity
of your wine cooler. These are available from most
supermarkets and hardware shops.
Place the thermometer and hygrometer on the middle
shelf of the wine cooler, where it can be read easily. Leave
overnight, compare the temperature of the thermometer
and the display in the wine cooler. The humidity in the
wine cooler should be between 50%-80% RH depending
on the type of wine.
Using the Humidifier
Using the humidifier can protect wine from too much or too less humidity. If your wine cooler is too dry
(below 50% RH), the cork dries up. The air can get into the wine and alter its composition.
The humidity of the wine cooler can’t be too high (above 80% RH), as the humidity damages the cork and
the smell of the cork will go into the wine.

Noises Inside the Wine Cooler
You may notice that your wine cooler makes some unusual noises. These noises are perfectly normal,
and are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant liquid in the cooling system. It has become more
pronounced since the introduction of CFC free gases. This is not a fault and will not affect the performance
of your wine cooler.
This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the refrigerant around the system.

24/05/2012 5:26 PM
Storing Wine in Your Wine Cooler
One benefit of your new wine cooler is that you can simulate the conditions of a wine cellar.
By using a wine cooler thermometer you can ensure a constant temperature of around 5-20°C, which is
ideal for storing wine. Make sure that the bottles are lying on their sides. This ensures that the wine inside
is in contact with the cork, which stops the cork drying out, shrinking, letting air in and spoiling the wine.
After a bottle has been opened, the wine comes into contact with air which will start to oxidise the wine.
This generally occurs on the wine’s contact surface, leaving the remaining wine in good condition. By
leaving your bottle standing, you minimise the surface area of the wine which is in contact with air.
If you’re serving white, rose or sparkling wine, chill it lightly for at least two hours in the wine cooler before
serving. Most reds should be served at room temperature, or in the case of lighter reds like Beaujolais, very
slightly chilled.
Opened wine will remain in good condition for up to two days (for delicate whites), or three days (for rich
reds), as long as the bottle is resealed and stored in your wine cooler. Special stoppers that keep sparkling
wine and champagne bubbling for one or two days after opening can be bought at most good wine shops.
When storing leftover wine, attempt to minimise the oxidation process of the wine. You can use a ‘vacuum’
which pumps out the air in the bottle leaving a semi-vacuum. The wine should last for about two weeks.
However, if it is a good quality wine and you intend to finish it within one week, all you’ll need to do is to
replace the cork and leave it standing in your wine cooler.
Different wines are best kept at different temperatures. To choose the temperature at which to store your
wines please consult the table below.

Filling Your Wine Cooler
When filling your wine cooler the greater the amount of cans and bottles placed inside the wine cooler
from room temperature, the longer it will take to cool them to the desired temperature. You may wish to
temporarily set the temperature to a lower temperature to speed up the cooling process. If you do this
remember to return it to the previous setting once the drinks have reached the required temperature in
order to conserve energy.
Space Around the Wine Cooler
Ensure that 2 cm of free space is left at both sides and 3 cm at the rear of the wine cooler. This will allow
cold air to circulate around the wine cooler and improve the efficiency of the cooling process.
Keep the Door Closed
To prevent cold air escaping, limit the number of times your open the door.

Cleaning
Cleaning the Inside of the Wine Cooler
There is usually no need to defrost the wine cooler as any ice that is deposited on the back wall will defrost
automatically.
1. Before cleaning the wine cooler always switch off and disconnect the mains supply.
2. Remove all the shelves and detachable accessories and wash in warm soapy water, rinse and dry
thoroughly.
3. If any ice has been deposited on the rear wall, leave the door open and wait until it begins to thaw.
As the solid frost loosen, prize it away with a plastic scraper and remove. Never use metal or sharp
instruments to remove the ice deposit.
4. You should clean the interior of the wine cooler with a weak solution of bicarbonate of soda.
5. Check that the drain outlet at the rear wall of the wine cooler compartment is clear of debris as this will
affect the automatic defrosting.
6. Rinse the wine cooler with warm water using a clean ‘wrung-out’ sponge or cloth. Then, wipe it dry
before replacing the shelves and accessories.
7. Plug in and switch on the mains supply.
Cleaning the Outside of the Wine Cooler
Use a damp cloth to clean the wine cooler exterior and a glass cleaner on the door. Make sure that the
door is closed, to prevent polish getting on the magnetic door seal or inside.
Cleaning Tips
Condensation may appear on the outside of the wine cooler. This maybe due to a change in room
temperature. Wipe off any moisture residue. If the problem continues, please contact a qualified technician
for assistance.
