the left side toward the top of the cavity.

Remove Packaging

Your wine storage unit has been packed for shipment with
all parts that could be damaged by movement securely fas­tened. Cut the banding material at the bottom of the carton,
unfold the cartoning at the bottom and remove the carton
from the appliance. Remove the plastic bag, styrofoam
corner posts, and any tape holding the door closed and
internal components in place.
The owners manual is shipped inside the wine storage unit
in a plastic bag.

Important

Keep your carton packaging until your wine storage unit has
been thoroughly inspected and found to be in good condi­tion. If there is damage, the packaging will be needed as
proof of damage in transit. Afterwards please dispose of all
items responsibly in particular the plastic bags which can be
a suffocation hazard.

Help Prevent Tragedies

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the
past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous.
Even if they sit out for “just a few days”.

If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow
the instructions below to help prevent accidents.

Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer:

• Take off the doors or remove the drawers.

• Leave the shelves in place so children may not easily

climb inside.

INSTALLING YOUR WINE STORAGE UNIT

Select Location

The proper location will ensure peak performance of your
appliance. We recommend a location where the unit will
be out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources. To
assure your product performs to specifications the recom­mended installation location temperature range is from
18 to 27°C for indoor built in units,18 to 32°C for indoor
freestanding units.

Cabinet Clearance

Ventilation is required from the bottom front section of the
unit. Keep this area open and clear of any obstructions.
Adjacent cabinets and counter top can be installed around
the unit as long as the grille and door access remain unob­structed.

Leveling Legs

Adjustable legs at the front and rear corners of the unit
should be set so the unit is firmly positioned on the floor and
level from side to side and front to back. Turn leveling legs
clockwise to raise unit, counterclockwise to lower it. (See
Figure 1).

Front Grille,
keep this
area open.

Front Grille

Do not obstruct the front grille. The openings within the front
grille provide air to flow into and exit from the refrigerator
condenser. For this reason it is important this area to not be
obstructed and be kept clean. Rangemaster does not recom­mend the use of custom made grilles as air flow may be
restricted because of inadequate openings. (See Figure 1).

If you replace the fuse, the cover must be refitted. If the
cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a replacement
has been obtained from your supplier. The color of the fuse
cover is that of the insert in the base of the fuse recess or
elsewhere on the plug. Always state this color when order­ing a replacement cover.

If your appliance has a moulded plug, you do NOT have to
do the following assembly as shown in Figure 2. Appliances
with moulded plugs are ready to use as is.

IMPORTANT: The wires should be connected to the termi­nals of the plug as follows:

• Earth to the terminal marked E or coloured Green or
Green/Yellow.

• Neutral to the terminal marked N or coloured Blue.

• Live to the terminal marked L or coloured Brown.

When wiring the plug, ensure that all strands of wire are
retained in each terminal. The flexible main cable, plug and
socket must not be exposed to flue products or be allowed
to come in contact with a hot surface. The cable must not
be trapped or pulled taut when the appliance is pushed into
position.

THIS UNIT SHOULD NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES,
BE UNEARTHED.

Figure 2

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. All external wiring
must comply with the IEE Regulations for the Electrical Equip­ment of Buildings. Connections to the electrical supply can
be made with either a plug and socket or be permanently
wired via a double-pole switch.

The appliance is supplied with a 250VAC PVC (85 degrees
C) core cable (0.5mm x 2 metres long). Any replacement
cable fitted must follow this specification. The unit may be
supplied with either a moulded or rewirable plug. Should
the plug not fit the socket at the installation site, it should be
removed and replaced with the correct type of plug.

FEATURES FOR MODEL RWS38

Insert Wine Bottles

The six (6) roll-out shelves each hold four (4) bottles. See
Figure 5 for typical wine bottle spacing. Tall bottles should
not be loaded on the bottom rack because they may prevent
the door from closing.

Loading Tips and Suggestions

Position white wines on the middle or lower racks and red
wines on the upper racks (see Figure 6).

Keep wines that you plan to use for everyday drinking and
entertaining on the front half of the racks where labels are
completely visible. Place wines for aging or longer term
storing in the rear.

Roll-out Racks

The six (6) roll-out wine racks may be pulled out approxi­mately 355 millimeters to facilitate adding or removing
bottles. Do NOT lean on or press down heavily on the wine
shelves. Doing so may damage the shelves and the wine
bottles stored on them. Pull the wine racks out gently and

Vibration Neutralization System

The Vibration Neutralization System (VNS) is a unique three­layer design that protects your wine from damaging vibra­tion without sacrificing cabinet capacity.

1. The compressor is isolated from the wine storage cavity,
virtually eliminating the transfer of vibration.

2. Vibration isolating mounts on the compressor offer a
second layer of protection from vibration transfer.

3. A vibration dampening mat inserted onto each shelf
absorbs any stray vibrations.

CARE AND CLEANING

Condenser

The condenser underneath the cabinet does not require
frequent cleaning; however, satisfactory cooling depends on
adequate ventilation over this heat exchanger. It is recom­mended to annually clean the condenser by vacuuming and
brushing. To access the condenser, the unit must be pulled
out from the installation, and the lower machine compart­ment access cover removed.

Disconnect the power cord before removing the access
cover.

Be sure that nothing obstructs the required air flow openings
in front of the cabinet. At least once or twice a year, brush
or vacuum lint and dirt from the front grille area
(see page 3).

Cabinet

The stainless steel cabinet can be washed with either a stain­less steel cleaner or a mild soap and water and thoroughly
rinsed with clear water. NEVER use abrasive scouring clean­ers. Painted surfaces can be cleaned with mild soap and
water.

Interior

Wash interior compartment with mild soap and water. Do
NOT use an abrasive cleaner, solvent, polish cleaner, or
undiluted detergent.

Wine Shelves

The racks may be cleaned with mild soap and water and a
soft cloth. Do NOT use any abrasive cleaners. See below
for instructions for removing the wine shelves.

Door Gasket

The vinyl gasket may be cleaned with mild soap and water,
a bicarbonate of soda solution, or a mild scouring powder.

CARE AND CLEANING

Light Tube Replacement

DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD BEFORE ATTEMPTING
LIGHT TUBE REPLACEMENT. Failure to do so may result in
an electrical shock that could severely injure you.

The RWS38 uses one, 6 watt light tube and the RWS60DX
and RDZ60 use two, 6 watt light tubes to illuminate the
interior of the wine storage unit. The light tube is a very reli­able electrical component, but should it not function prop­erly, please call the dealer you purchased your wine storage
unit from for a replacement light tube. Use only an original
equipment light tube from your dealer or Rangemaster.

It may be necessary to remove 1 or 2 shelves directly below
the light tube to gain access for removal. See page 13 for
instructions on removing the shelves.

Do NOT under any circumstance use a light tube that ex­ceeds 10 watts!

two screws to secure it in place. Plug the wine storage unit
into the electrical socket. Check to see if the light tube oper­ates properly. Your light tube’s replacement is complete.

For model RDZ60:

This product uses two, 6 watt light tubes to illuminate the
interior of the dual zone wine storage unit: one in the up­per compartment and one in the lower compartment. The
upper compartment light tube is located behind the display
housing. The lower compartment light tube is located on
the underside of the divider that separates the compart­ments.

To replace the light tube, disconnect power to the unit. Use
a hex-head driver to remove the two hex-head screws hold­ing the old light tube in place. Disconnect the electrical plug
from the cabinet’s electrical receptacle and discard the old
light tube. Reconnect the electrical plug of the new light
tube to the cabinet’s electrical receptacle. Make sure it is
secure and fully installed.

Using the hex-head driver and the two hex-head screws
secure the light tube in place. Plug the unit into the electri­cal socket. Check to see if the light tube operates properly.
Your light tube’s replacement is complete.

For Models RWS38 & RWS60DX

To replace a light tube, use a hex-head driver, remove the
two hex-head screws that hold a cover plate over the back
section of the light tube. Set the screws and cover plate
aside for reassembly later.

Using a small flat-blade screwdriver, gently lever the front
section of the light tube down to allow it to be pulled clear of
the light housing.

Disconnect the two insulated electrical connectors from the
cabinet’s electrical cable and discard the old light tube. Re­connect the electrical connector of the new light tube to the
cabinet’s electrical cable connectors. Make sure it is secure
and fully installed.

Carefully realign the light tube’s electrical terminal back into
the rear of the light enclosure channel making sure not to
crimp them. Gently insert the light tube along the length of
the light enclosure channel. Press the light tube gently into
the light enclosure channel. Only a small part of the light
tube should project below the ceiling of the wine storage
unit. DO NOT USE A HAMMER TO FIT THE LIGHT TUBE.

The light tubes are not covered by your warranty. Replace­ment tubes can be obtained from your dealer or from
Rangemaster.

In the Event of a Power Failure

If a power failure occurs, try to correct it as soon as possible.
Minimize the number of door openings while the power is
off so as not to adversely affect the unit’s temperature.

Disposal

When you dispose of this product, do so in a way sympa­thetic to the environment. For further information, contact

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

Energy Saving Tips
The following suggestions will minimize the cost of oper­ating your refrigeration appliance.

1. Do not install your appliance next to a hot appliance,
(cooker, dishwasher, etc.). heating air duct, or other heat
sources.

2. Install product out of direct sunlight.

3. Assure the toe grille vents at front of unit beneath door
is not obstructed and kept clean to allow ventilation for
the refrigeration system to expel heat.

4. Plug your appliance into a dedicated power circuit. (Not
shared with other appliances).

5. When initially loading your new product, or whenever
large quantities of warm contents are placed within
refrigerated storage compartment, minimize door open­ings for the next 12 hours to allow contents to pull down
to compartment set-point temperature.

6. Maintaining a relatively full storage compartment will
require less appliance run time than an empty compart­ment.

7. Assure door closing is not obstructed by contents stored
in your appliance.

8. Allow hot items to reach room temperature before plac­ing in product.

9. Minimize door openings and duration of door openings.

10. Use the warmest temperature control set-point that
meets your personal preference and provides the proper
storage for your stored contents.

11. For wine storage products:

a. When serving temperatures are not required, re­ turn the compartment(s) set-point to the ideal red
and white wine long term storage temperature of
13°C / 55°F.
b. For Dual-Zone product with two (2) independent
temperature controlled compartments, use the
lower compartment for the coldest storage /
serving temperature, (i.e.- red wines on top, white
wines in lower).

12. Minimize use of display lighting option on glass door

products, (light stays on with door closed).

13. When on vacation or away from home for extended pe-

riods, set the appliance to warmest acceptable tempera­ ture for the stored contents.

14. Set the control to the “off” position if cleaning the unit

requires the door to be open for an extended period of
time.

15) Annually clean condenser heat exchange coil located

in machine compartment underneath unit, (see “Care
and Cleaning” page 13).
