Stainless Steel Plinth (Supplied separately)
When the wine cellar is installed in its final position, the stainless steel plinth should be
fitted. Remove the protective tape from the adhesive strips on the rear of the plinth and
then place firmly in position onto the bottom of the wine cellar cabinet.
THE FLOW OF AIR THROUGH THE GRILL MUST NOT BE OBSTRUCTED AT ANY
TIME. FAILURE TO ADHERE TO THIS WILL INVALIDATE THE GUARANTEE.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The wine cellar should be placed where the ambient temperature is between 0-35 deg
centigrade (32-95 degrees Fahrenheit). If the ambient temperature is above or below this
range, the performance of the unit may be affected. For example, placing your unit in
extreme cold or hot conditions may cause interior temperatures to fluctuate. The range of
5-18 ºC (40-65 degrees Fahrenheit) may not be reached.
Control Panel
• RUN
Indicator light illuminates to signify the cooling cycle is currently in operation.
• LIGHT SWITCH
To control the interior light, on/off.
• “UP” Button
To raise (warm) the temperature in 1 ºC stages.
• “DOWN” Button
To lower (cool) the temperature in 1 ºC stages.
Setting the Temperature Control
• You can set the temperature as you desire by pressing the UP or DOWN buttons. When
you press either of the two buttons for the first time, the LED readout will show the original
temperature set at previous time (the temperature preset at the factory is 12 ºC.
• The temperature that you desire to set will increase by 1ºC if you press the UP button
once, and will decrease 1ºC if you press the DOWN button once.
• The temperature selected will flash in the LED display for approximately 5 seconds, and
will then display the actual temperature (which will gradually reach the set temperature).
• To view the “set” temperature, press the UP or DOWN button, then the LED display will
“flash” for 5 seconds to show the “set” temperature.

Installation of Shelves
To fit or remove the shelf, tilt the shelf as per the diagram and simply pull out, or push the
shelf in until it sits on the support brackets securely.
NOTE:
• If the unit is unplugged, if power is lost, or turned-off, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before
restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the wine cellar will not
start.
• When you use the wine cellar for the first time or restart the wine cellar after it has been
switched off for a long time, there could be a few degrees variance between the
temperature you select and the one indicated on the LED readout. This is normal and it
is due to the length of the activation time. Once the wine cellar has been running for a
few hours, the temperature display will re-gain accuracy.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
• Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all items including shelves and
rack.
• Wash the inside surfaces with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution
should be about two tablespoons of baking soda to one litre of water.
• Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution.
• Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning the control panel, or any
electrical parts.
• Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and
wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
Power Failure
• Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature
of your appliance if you minimise 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 action to protect the contents.
Vacation Time
• Short vacations: Leave the wine cellar operating during vacations of less than three
weeks.
• Long vacations: If the wine cellar will not be used for several months, remove all items
and disconnect. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odour and mould
growth, leave the door open slightly (blocking it open if necessary).
Moving Your Wine Cellar
• Remove all bottles.
• Securely tape down all shelves inside the cabinet.
• Turn the adjustable legs up to the base to avoid damage.
• Tape the door shut.
• Be sure the appliance stays secure and upright during transportation. Also protect
the outside of the wine cellar. (e.g. with a blanket).
Energy Saving Tips
• The wine cellar should be located in the coolest area of a room, away from heat
producing appliances, and out of the direct sunlight.

sounds caused by the flow of refrigerant.
Contraction and expansion of the inside walls
may cause popping and crackling noises.

DEFROSTING/CONDENSATION
Your wine cellar is designed with an “Auto-cycle” defrost system. When the RUN cycle is OFF,
the refrigerated surface of the wine cellar (interior rear wall) defrosts automatically. The defrost
water is channeled into a drain pan which is located at the back of the wine cellar next to the
compressor from where it evaporates.
HUMIDITY MAINTENANCE SYSTEM
The wine cellar is equipped with a system for maintaining the correct level of humidity. If
humidity is too low, insert the small plastic reservoir on to the top shelf. Fill this reservoir 3/4 full
with water. Check the water level occasionally and refill as necessary.
