Before you switch on
Plug in and switch on
Temperature control
Your wine cooler should not be installed on a
carpet, this may prevent sufficient air
circulation.
Don't locate your wine cooler near a heat
source, e.g. cooker, boiler or radiator. Avoid
placing in direct sunlight. An unheated
garage or outbuilding is also inappropriate.
Your wine cooler was not designed to
operate in an ambient temperature of less
than 16°C.
When installing it is important to keep a
minimum clearance of 50mm (2”) all around
the cabinet to allow for ventilation.
Remove all external and internal packing.
clean your wine cooler
We recommend that you clean your wine
cooler before use, refer to the section
‘Cleaning your wine cooler.’
leave your wine cooler for 2 hours
Before switching on leave your wine cooler
upright for 2 hours to allow the coolant fluid
time to settle.
ensure your wine cooler is level
Your wine cooler has four adjustable levelling
feet, two at the front and two at the back. A
very slight backward lean will ensure that the
door closes better.
The wine cooler runs on an electricity supply
of 220-240 V 50Hz and must be earthed.
Plug in the wine cooler and switch it on at the
socket.
To turn your wine cooler off, switch off at the
socket.
door lock
Your wine cooler is fitted with a door lock that
does not lock the door until the key is
removed.
going on holiday
If you’re going on holiday you may wish to
leave your wine cooler running, alternatively,
switch off, empty, clean and dry your wine
cooler and leave the door propped open to
allow the free movement of air.

electronic temperature controller
The internal temperature of your wine cooler
is controlled by an electronic temperature
controller situated in the front panel.
When you first switch the wine cooler
on, wait for 30 minutes before altering
the setting to let the wine cooler
stabilise. During this time the ‘Red’ wine
light may stay on.
The wine cooler is preset from the
factory to automatically accommodate
temperature requirements for red or
white wines. If you store mostly white
wines, press the ‘White’ button and the
wine cooler will maintain an average
temperature between 7 and 10°C.
Pressing the ‘Red’ button will yield an
average temperature between 13 and
16°C.
The wine cooler can be set to any
temperature required. To set the
temperature, press both the ‘Red’ and
‘White’ buttons simultaneously and
hold for approximately 3 seconds. You
are now in the ‘Temperature Set’ mode.
Decrease the temperature by pressing
the ‘White’ button and increase the
temperature by pressing the ‘Red’
button. When the temperature is set,
press the ‘Light’ button to return to
normal operating mode, the
temperature display will revert to
displaying the current internal
temperature.
There is up to a +/- 3 degree variance
between the temperature set and the
temperature indicated on the LED
readout. This is because of the cyclical
way that the cooler operates. There may
be up to 10°C variation between the top
and bottom shelves of the wine cooler.
therefore, if you have set the wine
cooler to 10°C and have a mix of red and
white wines, you may want to put the
white wine on the bottom shelf where
the temperature will be approximately
7°C and the red wine on the top shelf
where the temperature will be
approximately 13°C.
The temperatures achieved by the wine
cooler, between approximately 7°C and
16°C, are specifically designed for the
storage of wine and are not suitable for
the storage of food.

Cleaning your wine cooler
Defrosting your wine cooler
Changing the plug
Changing the internal light
on the outside
Use a good wax furniture polish to clean your
wine cooler's exterior. Make sure that the
doors are closed, to prevent polish getting on
the magnetic door seal or inside. Do not use
an aerosol polish as the spray may damage
plastic parts.
on the inside
Switch off and unplug from mains supply.
Wipe the inside with a soft cloth dampened
with a solution of one teaspoon of
bicarbonate of soda to one litre of warm
water. Rinse with clean warm water and dry
thoroughly.
After replacing the shelves, plug in and
switch on the mains supply.
Take care to avoid the light and the electronic
controller, water could cause serious
electrical damage.
Do not use soaps, wire wool, scouring
powder or disinfectants of any kind.
Your wine cooler is a ‘wet wall’ cooler, i.e. the
cooling plate is located behind the rear wall
of the cabinet. It is normal for ice and water to
collect on this wall. Any ice automatically
defrosts, every time the larder finishes a
cooling cycle. The defrost water will collect in
the trough, located at the back of the larder,
before running away through the drain hole.
It is important to keep the defrost drain (the
small hole in the middle of the trough) clear,
otherwise defrost water will overflow onto the
inside floor of the wine cooler. If the drain
does become blocked you can clear it by
using the drain clearing rod provided.

Your wine cooler is fitted with a fused three
pin plug which will be suitable for use in all
residences fitted with sockets to current
specifications.
The wine cooler runs on an electricity supply
of 220-240 V 50Hz and must be earthed. If
the plug is removed it should not be re-used,
but thrown away immediately. A cut off plug
can be dangerous if plugged into a socket.
If the plug supplied becomes damaged it
must be replaced with a new one and the
flexible mains lead connected as shown
below.
Note: Only 13 amp fuses approved to
BS 1362 A.S.T.A. should be used. After
replacing or changing a fuse, the fuse cover
in the plug must be replaced. If lost,
replacement fuse covers are available for a
nominal charge from:

connect BLUE to connect GREEN &
NEUTRAL(N) YELLOW to EARTH (E)
connect BROWN
to LIVE (L)
make sure the cable
is held by the clamp
Do not push excess mains lead into the
compressor (motor) compartment as this
may cause an electrical hazard.
Your wine cooler conforms with the
requirements of EEC Directive
No. 821499/EEC & BS 800-1983 relating to
radio interference suppression.
The light is operated by the button ‘Light/Set’
on the electronic temperature controller.
Before carrying out the fluorescent tube
replacement always switch off and
disconnect the electricity supply.
Remove the two screws holding the light
cover in place.
Remove the old tube by gripping the tube
mounting socket with one hand and carefully
pulling the tube clear with the other.
Replace with a new fluorescent tube (5 Watt
max.), making sure that it is secure in the
tube holder.
Replace the cover and fix using the securing
screws. Re-connect your wine cooler to the
electrical supply and switch on.

Useful hints Troubleshooting
If your appliance is to be out of service for any
length of time ensure that the interior is
carefully cleaned and dried. Leave the door
open and disconnect the plug from the
mains socket.
Carry out regular cleaning as described
previously.
If condensation appears on the outside of
your wine cooler because it is in a cold
location, cleaning the outside with a good
wax furniture polish may help.
5
your wine cooler rattles
This could be because it is not standing level,
or not standing on all four feet. Try adjusting
the levelling feet.
See that vibration noises are not caused by
objects in contact with your appliance and
each other.
not working / stops cooling
Check it is plugged in and switched on.
Check the fuse in the plug has not blown.
the cabinet is too warm
This may be caused by frequent door
openings.
Check that the door gasket is sealing
properly, it may be helped by adjusting the
cabinet levelling feet.
Adjust the temperature controller to a colder
setting.
noises
‘Whooshing’ or ‘gurgling’ noises from the
circulation of refrigerant liquid is not a fault.
your wine cooler makes a humming
noise
This is the normal running of the compressor.
If it is on continuously your wine cooler is
probably getting too warm. This may be
caused by warm weather, the door being left
open too long, a rise in room temperature, a
damaged door seal or the door is not aligned
properly (an uneven gap can be seen above
the door). Check all these things. Try
adjusting the levelling feet to correct door
alignment problems.
water on the floor of the larder
This may be due to the defrost drain being
blocked. The drain may be cleared using the
drain clearing rod provided.
internal light doesn’t work
There may be a power supply problem. The
fluorescent tube may need replacing.
If the ideas given above have not solved the
problem, call customer service. Do not
attempt repairs on your own, particularly on
electrical components.
