high compatibility with

the environment, that
are, however,
inflammable.

Caution: risk of

fire

If the refrigerant circuit
should be damaged:

• Avoid opening flames

and sources of

ignition.
Thoroughly ventilate the
room in which the
appliance is situated.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Before Using Your Wine Cooler

• Remove the exterior and interior packing,

including protective foam on door panels.

• Check to be sure the following parts are

included:

o 6 slide out shelves
o 2 wine rack
o 1 user manual

• Before connecting the appliance to the

power source, let it stand upright for
approximately 2 hours. This will reduce the
possibility of a malfunction in the cooling
system from handling during transportation.

• Clean the interior surface with lukewarm

water using a soft cloth.

Installation of Your Wine Cooler

• Place your appliance on a floor that is

strong enough to support the appliance

when it is fully loaded. To level your

appliance, adjust the legs at the front of

the appliance.

• Allow 5 inches of space between the back

and sides of the appliance, which allows

the proper air circulation to cool the

compressor.

• Locate the appliance away from direct

sunlight and sources of heat (stove,

heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may

affect the acrylic coating and heat sources

may increase electrical consumption.

• Extreme cold ambient temperatures may

also cause the appliance not to perform

properly.

• Avoid locating the appliance in moist

areas. Too much moisture in the air will

cause frost to form quickly on the

evaporator.

• Plug the appliance into an exclusive

properly installed-grounded wall outlet.

Do not under any circumstances cut or

remove the third (ground) prong from the

power cord.

• Any questions concerning power and or

grounding should be directed toward a

certified electrician or an authorized

products service center.

Warning: Improper use of the grounded plug
can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the
power cord is damaged, have it replaced by
an authorized products service center.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Do not store food in wine cooler, as interior
temperature may not get cool enough to
prevent spoilage. As a natural result of
condensation, in summer months or area of
high humidity, the glass door may build up
moisture on the outside. Just wipe it away.

OPERATING YOUR WINE COOLER

It is recommended you install the wine cooler
in a place where the ambient temperature is
between 22 -25 degree Celsius. If the ambient
temperature in above of below the
recommended temperature, conditions may
cause interior temperature to fluctuate.

If the interior light is left on, the temperature
inside the wine cooler will be higher.

Recommended Temperatures for chilling
Wine

CANDY MECHANICAL

This specification concerns the function of the
mechanical control for wine cellars. The image
below shows the Candy version of the user
interface.

The user interface is formed by:

- 1 knob for temperature setting

- 1 side button for the light

Function

Rotating the thermostat knob you can adjust
the temperature of the wine cellar to the
preset level.

SHELVES

Shelf is chrome plated. To accommodate
different size bottles, they can be moved up or
down by sliding them out the tracks first.
Shelves are designed to accommodate
maximum amount of bottles.

WINE RACK

There is an additional wine rack at bottom
section of the unit where you can store up to 6
wine bottles. This rack is removable for
cleaning purpose.

There is a 4 to 6 C variance between the top
and bottom shelves of the wine chiller.
Therefore, if you have set the wine chiller for
red wine only and you want to place a mix of
white and red wines, you should place the
white wine bottles on the bottom shelves and
the red wines on the top shelves.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning Your Wine Cooler

• Unplug the wine cooler and remove the

bottles.

• Wash the inside with a warm water and

baking soda solution. The solution should be
about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a liter
of water.

• Wash the shelves and trays with a mild

detergent solution.

• The outside of the wine cooler should be

cleaned with mild detergent and warm
water.

• It may also be necessary to periodically wipe

the bottom part of the storage area, as the

29

wine cooler is designed to retain humidity,
and condensation may collect there.

Maintenance of Your Wine Cooler

Power Failure

Most power failures are corrected within a few
hours and should not affect the temperature
of your wine cooler if you minimize the
number of times the door is opened. If the
power is going to be off for a longer period of
time, you need to take the proper steps to
protect your contents.

Vacation Time

During long absences, remove all the bottles;
unplug your wine cooler, clean your wine
cooler, and leave the door open slightly to
avoid possible formation of condensation,
mold, or odors.

Moving Your Wine Cooler

• Securely tape down all loose items inside

your wine cooler.

• Turn the levelling screws up to the base to

SCRAPPING OLD APPLIANCES

This appliance is marked according to the
European directive 2012/19/EU on Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).
WEEE contains both polluting substances
(which can cause negative consequences for
the environment) and basic components
(which can be re-used). It is important to have
WEEE subjected to specific treatments, in
order to remove and dispose properly all
pollutants, and recover and recycle all
materials.
Individuals can play an important role in
ensuring that WEEE does not become an
environmental issue; it is essential to follow
some basic rules:
WEEE should not be treated as household
waste.
WEEE should be handed over to the relevant
collection points managed by the municipality
or by registered companies. In many countries,
for large WEEE, home collection could be
present.
In many countries, when you buy a new
appliance, the old one may be returned to the
retailer who has to collect it free of charge on a
one-to-one basis, as long as the equipment is
of equivalent type and has the same functions
as the supplied equipment.

Conformity

By placing the mark on this product, we
are confirming compliance to all relevant
European safety, health and environmental
requirements which are applicable in
legislation for this product.

ENERGY SAVING

For better energy saving we suggest:

• Installing the appliance away from heat

sources and not exposed to direct sunlight
and in a well-ventilated room.

• Avoid putting hot food into the refrigerator

to avoid increasing the internal temperature
and therefore causing continuous
functionalizing of the compressor.

• Do not excessively stuff foods so as to

ensure proper air circulation.

• Defrost the appliance in case there is ice to

facilitate the transfer of cold.

• In case of absence of electrical energy, it is

advisable to keep the refrigerator door
closed.

• Open or keep the doors of the appliance

open as little as possible.

• Avoid adjusting the setting to temperatures

too cold.

• Remove dust present on the rear of the

appliance.
