DISPOSAL OF OLD APPLIANCES
BE SURE TO MAKE ANY LOCKS UNUSABLE. IF POSSIBLE , REMOVE THE
DOOR (S) AND DISCARD SEPARATELY.
WARNING – CHEMICAL HAZARD: DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO PLAY
WITH OLD APPLIANCES . CONTACT YOUR LOCAL AUTHORITY FOR
PROPER DISPOSAL PROCEDURES.
Before disposing of an old appliance, please make sure it is switched off and safe. Unplug the
unit and break any locks in order to avoid children becoming trapped.
Please note : the refrigeration system contains gases and refrigerants which require specialist
waste disposal. The valuable materials contained in an appliance can be recycled.
Contact your local waste disposal depot for proper disposal of an old unit and contact your
local authorit y or dealer if you have any questions.
Ensure the pipework of the old unit is not damaged prior to disposal. You can contribute to
the environmental awareness by insisting on an appropriate non-polluting method of disposal.
USERS IN EUROPE – WEEE COMPLIANCE
Husky appliances are authorised to carr y the CE (Confor mité
Européene) and WEEE (Was te Electrical and Electronic
Equipment Directive) symbols.
The WEEE symbol on this appliance indicates that the
product must not be disposed of with household waste.
Husky appliances and their components under go stric t product testing by independent
companies to comply or exceed all applicable local and international regulatory standards.
DISPOSAL OF PACK AGING
All the packaging materials with your Husky appliance may be disposed of without danger to
the environment.
The cardboard carton and polythene wrappers are recyclable – check with your local
authority for the best recycling options. The expanded polystyrene materials included in the
packaging can be placed in general waste.
HOW TO MINIMISE THE ENERGY CONSUMPTION OF
YOUR HUSKY WINE COOLER
• Energ y consumption will be lower if the unit stands in a well ventilated space and in
par ticular the back of the unit and front vent at the bottom of the unit are clear of
obstruction.
• Do not place the appliance in direct sunlight or near a heat source such as ovens,
radiators, heaters, etc as this will increase energy consumption.
• Keep the door closed as much as possible.
• Setting the ther mostat to a colder temper ature means higher energy consumption,
so set only as cool as you really require.
• Do not over fill the cabinet - over filling means that the air cannot circulate freely inside
the cabinet which may slow the process of cooling and make the cabinet less eff icient.
• Defrost the appliance if fros t can be seen building up inside - frost will increase energy
consumption and make the cooling process slower.
• Turn the appliance off completely if it is not required for a period of days or longer to
avoid wasting energy (see also section ‘When your appliance not in use’).
HANDLING YOUR APPLIANCE
This appliance uses R600a (Isobutane) natural refrigerant gas as part of its cooling system.
R600a is environmentally friendly but can be combustible. Care should therefore be taken
when handling or transporting the product to ensure that none of the refrigeration circuit
components are damaged.
To lift the appliance safely, tilt it backwards by no more than 45 degrees, hold the base and
rear corners of the appliance carefully. Never use the door handles for lif ting.
This appliance is heavy and could cause injur y. Ensure there are adequate people present to
move the appliance.
POSITIONING YOUR APPLIANCE
• Please allow a minimum of 50 mm clearance at the rear of the wine cooler and
suff icient room around the sides and top of the wine cooler to enable good air
circulation.
• Ensure that the appliance is situated :
• Away from direct sunlight and in a dry and well-ventilated space
• Away from stoves, ovens, radiators and any other heating appliances
• Do not position the appliance in conser vatories or outbuildings with ex treme high or
low ambient temperatures
• Do not use outdoors or leave in rain
• Do not place any thing on your appliance
• The appliance must be used in the ver tical position and stand on an even, f lat surface
for quieter operation
• If your appliance is to be to be placed on carpet, suppor t it with a wooden board
under neath. Be aware that placing the appliance on carpet may mean that heat from
the compressor may cause the carpet to fade
• Ensure that the plug is easily accessible.
WARNING: When positioning the appliance ensure the supply cord is not
trapped or damaged. Do not locate extension sockets or charging transformers/
power supplies adjacent to the compressor at the back of the unit, as they could
overheat.

REMOVING THE SHELVES
To remove a shelf, first remove the bottles and pull the shelf out to its limit. Depress the catch
on the left hand sliding rail (see above), and at the same time lif t the catch on the right hand
sliding rail. The shelf may now be removed.
RE-POSITIONING SHELVES WITHIN YOUR WINE COOLER
IMPORTANT: Take care when repositioning shelves. Ensure your appliance is
switched off, shelves are empty and when shelves are refixed they are done so
securely.
(models HUSWS54S, HUSWS72, HUS128, HUSWS168)
Follow the above instr uctions “Removing The shelves” to take out the extendable shelf first.
Then unscrew the remaining 2 fixed shelf supports lef t in the appliance and realign to other
available locating holes. Screw the supports back into your required location and reaffix the
extendable shelf thereafter ensuring all clicks back into place securely.
(models HUSWS33 WHUWS66)
Lift the front of the shelf upwards removing the locating hole from the pin at the back of the
unit, Pull the shelf out. Reverse the process when f ixing the shelf in its new position ensuring
the shelf is fixed correc tly.
CARBON FILTER
Your wine breathes through the cork of its bot tle. In order to preser ve the quality and tas te
of your wines, they should be stored at the ideal temperature and ambient conditions. Your
wine cooler is equipped with an active charcoal f iltration system to ensure air purity and to
maintain an odour free cabinet for the storage of your wines. The filter assembly is located
on the rear panel inside your wine cooler.
We recommend that you change the f ilter ever y 12 months. Filters can be purchased from
your local stockis t.
To replace your filter
1. Remove the bottles of wine stored on the two (2)
shelves in front of the f ilter.
2. Remove the shelves and set aside to replace once you
have changed the f ilter.
3. Hold the filter and turn it at 45 degrees anti-clockwise
or clock wise direction and then pull it out.
4. Remove the existing filter and replace with a new one.
5. Put the new filter into the hole and then turn the filter
at 45 degrees in clockwise or anti-clock wise direction.
The filter is situated
to the left of the
ventilation fan.
Turn left or right to
remove the filter.
MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
Disconnect the appliance from the power before cleaning. Always reconnect the
plug with dry hands. Never pour water over the appliance.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Before seeking assistance, please check the following points ; you may be able to solve any
problem yourself.
Problem
Not cooling.
Outer surfaces are
wet.
Inner surfaces are wet.
Not achieving
temperature set.
Solution
• Check power cable is connected and fuse is intact.
• Wrong temperature selected. Adjust setting on the thermostat
(see page 7)
• Cooler is over filled or the door is opened too often.
• The Wine Cooler is exposed to direct sunlight or a heat source,
so relocate the Wine Cooler.
• Water source or leak too near the Wine Cooler – dry surfaces
thoroughly and relocate the Wine Cooler.
• Door opened too of ten or left open.
• The temperature shown on the display is showing the
temperature of where the sensor is located. It is per fec tly normal
operation for the temperature to read a different temperature
to the set temperature, as the temperature within the Wine
Cooler will fluctuate continually.
• Temperature performance is affected by several factor s, i.e. how
often the door is opened, the ambient temperature, how full the
Wine Cooler is, etc.
• If the temperature shown is higher than the set temperature,
there is no need to reset as the Wine Cooler will be continually
working to reach the required set temperature.
The door will not close
properly
The display flashes

sound)
• The door is misaligned.
• The Wine Cooler is not on a level sur face.
• The shelves are out of position.
• Sensor failure. Please call your local stockist.
• High/low temperature alarm. The alarm will stop af ter 5 minutes.

flow of refrigerant in your Wine Cooler.
• Contraction and expansion of the inside walls may cause popping
and crackling noises. All the above should be at a minimum.
• The Wine Cooler is not on a level sur face, or may be touching
other items.
