Before use

At cabinet reception

Check that the cabinet and or box have not been damaged during transport. Do not
put in use if the cabinet has been damaged during transport.

Transport Damages must be reported to French Corner Cellars within 24 hours
of the delivery.

&

Remove the packaging. Clean the inside of the cabinet using warm water with a mild
detergent. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly (see cleaning instructions page

18). Use a soft cloth.

&

If the cabinet has been laid down during transport, or if it has been stored in cold
surroundings (colder than +41°F), it must be allowed to stabilize in an upright position
for at least twenty-four (24) hours before being
switched on.

The pieces on the rear of the cabinet ensure air
circulation by providing enough space for the
cabinet to operate normally. Fit the two caps
supplied with the cabinet as shown on the picture.

&

&

Setting up

It’s important to have the cabinet leveled. It can
be adjusted by screwing or unscrewing the
adjustable feet at the front of the cabinet.
Use a spirit level to check that the cabinet is
absolutely level sideways.

&
&

Installing shelves

There are three different shelf models.

Fixed shelves

Place the shelf on top of the internal wall supports, and then slide it towards the back
of the cellar. Make certain the wedge is on the upper end of the shelf.

Display shelves

Use two sets of side supports per display shelf. The posterior part of the shelf sits on
the upper level, the front part of the shelf sits on the lower level supports, creating a
tilted shelf allowing bottles to be placed in an angled position.

Sliding Shelves

Place the 2 rails on the internal wall supports, with the wheels at the front.
Then insert the shelf between the rails, with the wheels on the back, in diagonal from
the top; once placed between the rails slide is towards the back.

Operation & functions

&
&
&
&
&
&
&
&
&
&
&
&
&
&

Electronic control panel

The electronic control panel (above)
ensures that the temperatures set at the
top and at the bottom of the cabinet are
maintained. This is achieved by means of
an advanced control of the refrigeration
system, the heating element, and the fan.
The set temperature will be stored in the
event of power failure.

&

The electronic control has the following
functions:

• On/Off switch

• Light switch*

• Temperature setting

• Temperature indication

• Alarm for too high and too low

temperatures

• Door alarm

&

*The light may either be turned on
constantly or only when the door is open.

&

Temperature indication

The display shows the actual temperature.
The upper digits of the display indicate the
temperature at the top of the cabinet, and
the lower digits of the display indicate the
temperature at the bottom of the cabinet.
The temperature indicator is equipped with a
built-in filter, which simulates the actual

temperature in the bottles.
Consequently, the indicator does not
react on short-term fluctuations of the
air temperature (e.g. when opening
the door for a short period of time).

&

Temperature settings

The cabinet temperature is set by
selecting the low temperature for the
bottom of the cabinet and the high
temperature for upper part of the unit.
The pushed air system will then
establish 6 zones of temperature
distributed evenly between the two
selected temperature settings.

Temperature setting at the
top of the cabinet

Push SET1.The temperature at the top
of the cabinet may then be adjusted up
and down by means of the “up and
down” buttons. The temperature can be
adjusted from 46 to 72°F; however, the
top temperature cannot be set at a
lower temperature than SET2 (the
actual set point for the bottom
temperature sensor).

&

Temperature setting at the bot­tom of the cabinet

Push SET2. The temperature at the bottom
of the cabinet may then be adjusted up and
down by means of the “up and down”
buttons. The temperature can be adjusted
from 40 to 72°F; however the bottom
temperature cannot be set at a higher
temperature than the actual set point of the
upper temperature SET1.

&

Alarm devices

The cabinet is equipped with 2 alarms: one
for the low temperature (bottom area) and
one for high temperature (upper area).

The alarm consists of a beeper and a
display warning.

• Alarm for low temperature: beep
sound +“LtA” displayed on the
screen alternating with the current
temperature

• Alarm for high temperature:
beep sound +‘HtA” displayed on
the screen alternating with the
current temperature

&

The alarm temperature depends on the set
points. It is possible to manually configure
the temperature that will trigger the alarm.

&

The beep sound alarm can be cancelled by
pushing any random key on the thermostat
button. Push the on/off button to erase the
display alarm sign on the display, then again
for restarting the compressor.

&

Door alarm

When the door has been open for more
than 2 minutes, the door alarm is activated.

Child lock

The thermostat is equipped with a child
lock. This device function is activated by

pushing the “up and down” buttons
simultaneously. After approximately 3
seconds “Pof” flashes on the display.
Then the actual temperatures are
shown as usual. In addition, the set
temperatures can be shown by
pushing SET1 and SET2,
respectively.

&

The child lock function is cancelled
by pushing the “up and down”
buttons simultaneously. After approx.
3 seconds “Pon” flashes in the
display, and the temperature can be
set.

Light

To turn off the lights, press once .

Permanent lighting

To turn the lights on permanently,
press the light switch symbol twice.
To switch on the light press again the
light switch symbol .

Two-zone setting for
serving temperature

Typical serving temperature settings
for the top and bottom sections are
60°F and 43°F respectively. With
these settings, a suitable temperature
gradient will be achieved in the
cabinet for the storage of various
types of wine distributed from top to
bottom as follows:

• Heavy body red wines +60

to +66°F

• Rosé and light red wines

+54 to +60°F

• White wines +50 to +54°F

• Champagne and sparkling

wines +43 to +46°F

&

It is recommended to serve the wine

USA

11

USA/CA&

&

at a temperature which is a few degrees
lower than the desired
drinking temperature, as the wine will be
warmed slightly when it is poured (into the
glass.)

Single-zone setting for long­term storage

For long-term wine storage preservation, the
top and bottom sections should both be set at
about 54°C. With identical settings for the top
(SET1) and bottom (SET 2) sections, the
controls will maintain an even temperature
throughout the cabinet. However, in case of
significant difference of temperature between
the room and the desired temperature in the
wine cabinet, there might be a slight
temperature gradient difference between the
top and bottom. The controls will maintain the
set temperature at the bottom of the cabinet,
and any deviation from the setting will
therefore occur at the top.&The difference will
vary from 1 to 7°C, depending on the ambient
temperature.

Switch from F° to C°

Press simultaneously Set1 + Down arrow for
3 sec, then press again simultaneously Set1

+ Down arrow for 7 sec; Hyi.1 appears on the
display; press 8 times the up arrow, F° .CF°
appears on the display; press Set 1, F° is
blinking, then press the down arrow to
change to C°; wait for 15 sec to exit the
setting mode.

Defrosting and cleaning

Automatic defrosting.

The wine cooler is defrosting automatically. Defrost water runs through a pipe and is
collected in a tray above the compressor where the heat generated by the compressor
causes it to evaporate. The defrost water tray should be cleaned once a year.

&

Cleaning.

Before cleaning the cabinet, unplug it from the main power supply. The cabinet is best
cleaned using warm water (max. 150°F) with a little mild detergent. Never use aggressive
cleaning agents. Use a soft cloth. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly. The defrost
water channel, in which condensation from the evaporator runs, is located at the bottom of
the rear inside wall of the cabinet and must be kept clean. Add a few drops of disinfectant,
to the defrost water drain a couple of times a year, and clean the drain using a pipe cleaner
or similar. Never use sharp or pointed tools.

&

The sealing strip around the door must be cleaned regularly to prevent discoloration and
prolong service life. Use clean water. After cleaning the sealing strip, check that it continues
to provide a tight seal.

&

Dust collecting on the condenser on the rear of the cabinet, the compressor and in the
compressor compartment is best removed using a vacuum cleaner.

damage that the manufacturer can substantiate are caused by reasons other than
manufacturing or material faults, are not covered by the warranty.

&

Please note that changes to the construction of the cabinet or changes to the
component equipment of the cabinet will invalidate warranty and product liability,
and the cabinet cannot be used lawfully. The approval stated on rating plate will also
be invalidated.

&

Transport damage discovered by the buyer is primarily a matter to be settled
between the buyer and the distributor, i.e. the distributor must ensure that such
complaints are resolved to the buyer’s satisfaction.

&

Before calling for technical assistance, please check whether you are able to rectify
the defect yourself. If your request for assistance is unwarranted, e.g. if the cabinet
has failed a result of a blown fuse or incorrect operation, you will be charged the
cost incurred by your call for technical assistance.

&

Spare parts

When ordering spare parts, please state the type, serial number and production
numbers of your cabinet. This information is given on the rating plate and inside
the user guide. The rating plate contains various technical information, including
type and serial numbers.

Disposal

The symbol on the product, or on the documents accompanying the product,
indicates that this cabinet may not be treated as household waste. Instead it shall be
handed over to the applicable collection point for the recycling of electrical and
electronic equipment.

&

Environmental regulations on disposal must also be observed. When disposing of the
cabinet you should contact your local authority technical department who will inform
you of how collection and recycling of such units takes place in your area.

You should check with your electric utility company to see if a bounty program is
offered in your area. Since some bounty programs have required specifications for
appliances (e.g., must be in working condition, of a minimum vintage and/or
dimension), you may also need to confirm that your appliance is acceptable.

If a bounty program is not available, you can contact your municipal department of
public works to inquire about the procedures for collecting and disposing of
refrigerated appliances in your neighborhood. Typically, for refrigerators/freezers,
municipalities require you to make an appointment for bulky item collection, which
may be provided at no additional cost. Some municipalities charge a fee for
refrigerated appliance collection or require you to haul items to a transfer station or
dump. (Your municipality can direct you to a solid waste contractor for more
information.) Other municipalities may require the refrigerant to be recovered from
appliances before they will accept it for pick-up. In such cases owners would need
to hire a technician with certified recovery equipment to remove the refrigerant prior
to disposal.

By ensuring that this product is disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential
negative consequences for the environment and human health, which could
otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste handling of this product.
Disposal must be carried out in accordance with local environmental regulations for
waste disposal.

For more detailed information about treatment and recycling of this product, please
contact your local city office, your household waste disposal service or the store
where you purchased the product.

When disposing of a refrigerated appliance, try to inquire about the disposal practices
of the entity removing your unit to ensure that it will be disposed of responsibly. If you
learn about illegal or suspect activities (e.g., refrigerant venting), you can file a report
easily and anonymously by visiting EPA's Office of Enforcement and Compliance

Assurance website.

NOTE: Do not attempt to remove refrigerant or compressors yourself. Improperly
handled refrigerant may result in physical harm. Only properly trained individuals
using EPA-approved refrigerant recovery equipment should attempt to remove
refrigerant from appliances.
