Before first use
You must allow the appliance to settle for at least twenty four hours prior to switching the power on.
It is recommended that you remove all internal and external packaging and clean the interior of the appliance prior to first use,
using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and warm water and then thoroughly dry the interior.
The appliance may have an odour to it at first use. This will disappear as the appliance cools.
Please note:
• The appliance will work continuously until it gets to the correct temperature.
• If the appliance is switched off, you should allow five minutes before switching it on again to prevent the risk of
unnecessary damage to the compressor.
• The LED display may not show the selected temperature whilst the appliance first gets to the correct temperature. This is
normal, and the display will be corrected automatically once the appliance has run for a few hours.
Use
• Only store wine in sealed containers
• Do not overload the cabinet
• Only open the door when necessary
• Do not cover the shelves with aluminium foil or anything else that will prevent air from circulating around the cabinet.
• To prevent damage to the door seal, ensure the door is fully open before removing the shelves.
• This is a self-defrosting appliance. The compressor will not run during the thirty minute defrost cycle.
• Do not pull the shelves beyond the anti-stop position (approximately one third out) when fully loaded.
• This appliance is intended to be used exclusively for the storage of wine.
• In the event of a power failure, leave the door closed as much as possible to maintain the internal working
temperature. Should the power failure continue for a prolonged period, you should take steps to protect the contents
of the wine cooler against a rise in temperature.
This appliance is suitable for use in an extended temperature climate (N for FWC151, N/ST for FWC301/FWC601/
FWC621) and has a normal operating ambient temperature of 16-38C. Use of the appliance below 10C may cause
performance issues that are not indicative of a fault. Normal operation will resume once the appliance is within the
specified range.
FWC151, FWC301 & FWC621 will not be able to reach the required temperature if the ambient temperature is lower than
that required.
