MAXIMUM CAPACITIES AND LOADING TIPS

Maximum capacities and sample loading arrangements for WineKoolR wine cellars are illustrated below. 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 for more uniform temperature in cabinet.

IMPORTANT NOTE

The top shelf of the cabinet should have the coldest temperature and may be used as your “chilling” section.

All Wine Cabinets have minor differences in temperature depending on where articles are stored. Top to Bottom differences will be present in any Cellar due to layering and pressure differences. The coldest temperatures will occur closest to the “Top” where the cold air originates.

The temperature readout represents samples of the air close to the position of the sensor. Other points in the cabinet will vary according to many factors, including the type of bottle loading, proximity to the door, corners, exposure to outside temperature, door usage etc. Just as in air conditioned rooms and refrigerators, not all locations measure the same temperature.

For example if you measure the air temperature exiting the coil, it will always be substantially colder than the set

air back into the cooling unit causing short cycles.

Remember, the important element for storing wine is constant temperature, not absolute temperature. We do guaran-

1/4 of a degree C.

Although each WineKoolR 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 issues may occur due to improper cabinet assembly, power interruption or surge, low line voltage (less than your unit rating of 105V or 240V), or failure to clean the unit regularly (see illustration below). 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 website: www.koolr.com

Coil is located at the top of back panel, vacuum it periodically.

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

unit as directed, on a regular basis. Every 3 to 4 months vacuum the cooling unit coils (check our website for more info). Be advised, also, that

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 or 7.5 Amp, 240 V line rated for your unit. Must not

use an extension cord. 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.

(Troubleshooting)

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

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