ASSEMBLY & OPERATION MANUAL

READ BEFORE YOU START

1. LOCATING YOUR WINE CELLAR - Remember, it is not only an appliance but also a piece of furniture

A. Provide 3” minimum clearance for all surfaces especially top and back.
Under no circumstances should the unit be “built-in” in any way.

B. Never locate your wine cellar outdoors or in an area with extremes of temperature and
humidity.

Garages, attics, unnished basements, laundry rooms, breezeways, closets or any

unventilated room. In other words these units must be installed in air-conditioned

environments which do not “trap” the warm air being exhausted

C. Temperatures in surrounding area must not exceed 80 °F (25 °C) with humidity levels not
to exceed 80% R.H. (Relative Humidity).

D. Outlet power must be a DEDICATED separately fused, grounded, 15 Amp 110 - 120 V line

E. You must monitor your unit DAILY. If unit is in “Alarm”, unplug the unit inmediately.

Vintage Keeper will not be liable or responsible for incidental or consequential damages.
(See Warranty).

F. Place unit in a clean area and allow access to the exterior surfaces for periodic vacuuming
of the condensor coil

2. AREA FOR ASSEMBLING YOUR WINE CELLAR

Choose a clear 12’ by 12’ area with a level oor and carpenting to help reduce scratching of surfaces.

3. TOOLS

* Hex wrench (included)
* Phillips screwdriver
* Rubber mallet
* Carpenter’s level
* Helper or two is strongly recommended

4. TEST THE COOLING UNIT

Plug it in for a few minutes on a table top, to verify that controls and display are functional, and that
the unit is producing cool air after a few minutes of operation.

Note that the electronic controller has a one-minute cautionary delay between initial plug-in and
start-up of the compressor.

Record the serial number (located on both front and rear surfaces of the cooling unit) and ll out and
fax or mail the warranty registration sheet. or register your warranty on-line at www.vintagekeeper.com.

DEFAULT SETTINGS : Storage Temperature : 57°F / 14°C (ideal temp for wine cellaring)

Fan Speed: Optimized for maximum efciency and moderate noise

Display: Set-Temp in Fahrenheit degrees (during normal operation)

Digital Sensor: Reads AIR temperature in cabinet

NOTE:

One-minute cautionary delay between plug-in and start-up, also between EACH RESET and start-up. Unit will auto-switch to
Emergency fan speed on initial power-up and whenever it reads a cabinet temperature three degrees above Set, and will then
adjust to Default or selected fan speed when it reaches one degree above Set. Unit will display Set-Temp when reading temp within
two degrees of Set; when reading a higher temp, for example during initial cycle, unit will display actual air temp in cabinet.

IF YOU MUST PLAY WITH THE CONTROLS, HERE IS HOW TO DO IT . . .

By reading AIR temperature in the cabinet, the controller will respond more quickly to temperature
change than if reading actual LIQUID temperature, because liquid temperature changes about 10
times more slowly than air. Although air temperature in the cabinet may change 7 or 8 degrees
during a complete On/Off cycle, the liquid temperature, which corresponds to your selected SET­TEMP, will remain constant, typically within one degree F. The Digital Sensor, which is encased in a
red vinyl cap and permanently mounted on the side of the unit, must not be handled or modied.

QUIET2 mode = Moderate

quieter operation

Change Fan Speed from

QUIET2 to QUIET1:

PRESS and HOLD “SET” 4
seconds, until indicator
“Out 1” lights:
QUIET1 mode = Slowest
fan speed, least
efciency, quietest
operation

To Re-calibrate Digital Sensor:

1. PRESS and HOLD “UP” and “DOWN” arrows,
to display “0” offset

2. Press “UP” or “DOWN” arrow, once per degree,
to change offset from +4 to -4 degrees

RESET FROM ALARM : Alarm will Display (“AL”) if controller reads temp above 72F and is unable to lower the temp after auto­switching to Emergency speed. If the condition persists even after auto-reset, the unit will shut itself off. To correct the condition:
unplug the cooling unit, inspect cabinet assembly and seal any cracks, adjust the door to seal more tightly, take steps to reduce
ambient temp, remove any obstruction and/or dust buildup on the exhaust side, compensate for heat gain if any cabinet walls
receive direct sunlight. Plug the unit in and toggle the display, by pressing “SET” and “UP” arrow, to restore all Default settings.

Maximum capacities and sample loading arrangements for Vintage Keeper Odyssey wine cellars
are illustrated below. Note the variations in shelf height, to accomodate the widest variety of
bottle types and sizes. Standard Burgundy and Bordeaux bottles are best arranged with necks
facing out; some taller bottles may need to be arranged neck to neck. Never stack bottles more
than two rows high on a shelf; all shelves must be installed as directed. Avoid placing bottles
directly in front of the cooling unit’s circulating fan.

TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE

Although each Vintage Keeper cooling unit has been carefully tested at every stage of manufacture, occasional problems
arise, the majority of which are due to rough or careless handling during shipping or installation. Other problems may
derive from improper cabinet assembly, power interruption or surge, low line voltage (less than 105V), or failure to clean
the unit regularly. The following may help you determine what the problem may be, what steps you can take to correct
it, and what further steps may be required. Additional Trouble-Shooting information and downloadable documents are
available in the “Support” area of our web site: www.vintagekeeper.com

IMPORTANT NOTE:

In order to provide maximum protection for your valuable wine collection, the following steps are highly advisable.
First and foremost, have your wine collection adequately insured. Second, install a battery-powered heat-sensitive alarm
to warn of any loss of cooling due to power interruption. Third, monitor your storage and ambient conditions on a
regular, daily basis. Fourth, install a high quality surge supressor to protect against sudden power uctuations. Fifth,
clean the unit as directed, on a regular basis. Be advised, also, that Drobot-Vintage Keeper cannot in any event be liable
or responsible for incidental or consequential damages.

IF:

COOLING UNIT DOES
NOT RUN AT ALL WHEN
PLUGGED IN

COOLING UNIT RUNS
BUT DOES NOT COOL
SUFFICIENTLY

CHECK:

- Is the unit plugged in?

- Is the power supply operational?

- Is the LED display functional?

- Is there any evidence of shipping
damage on the cooling unit or
packaging materials?

- Is the storage temp properly
set?

- Is the cabinet properly
assembled, with all joints air
tight?

- Is the door properly adjusted to
seal tightly when closed?

- Is airow to and from the
cooling unit unobstructed?

- Is the ambient air temperature
within the specied range?

- Are any exterior surfaces of
the
cabinet exposed to sunlight?

THEN:

- Note that the unit has a 1-minute cautionary delay
between plugging in and full start-up; this is a built-in
safeguard to protect the compressor in the event of
sudden power failure

- Note that the power supply must be a dedicated,
separately-fused and grounded 15 Amp, 120V line. If an
extension cord must be used, it must be rated for 15
Amps. Do not share the outlet with other appliances

- If the unit is receiving power yet fans or compressor fail
to run, unplug for ten minutes, then try again

- Note that the unit may take a few days to achieve the
desired storage temperature, even in a properly located,
airtight cabinet

- Take steps to reduce ambient temperatures and
compensate for additional heat gain if any cabinet walls
receive direct sunlight

- If gaps are visible at any panel joints, it would be
advisable to apply silicone caulking to the area, to ensure
an airtight seal

- Take steps to improve circulation of air to and from the unit

- Adjust the door, if necessary, to seal tightly by
re-positioning the upper hinge and improving the cabinet
level

- Install the air deector as directed

- If the unit is currently running in “Quiet2” or “Quiet1”
mode, try switching back to “Default” mode and see if
the problem is corrected

- Clean the fan and grille areas

- If the problem persists, disconnect the unit and contact
