GETTING STARTED

• Plug in the power plug. When you use the wine cooler for the first time (or restart
the wine cooler after having it shut off for a long time), there will be a few degrees
variance between the temperature you have selected and the one indicated on the
LED readout. This is normal and it is due to the length of the activation time. Once
the wine cooler is running for a few hours everything will stabilize.
Note: If the unit is unplugged, power is lost, or turned off, wait 3 to 5 minutes before
restarting the unit. The wine cooler will not start if you attempt to restart before this
time delay.

Operating Noises

To reach the desired temperature settings, wine coolers, like all wine coolers operating
with compressors and fans, may produce the following types of noises. These noises are
normal and may occur as follows:
• Gurgling sound - caused by the refrigerant flowing through the appliance's coils.
• Cracking/popping sounds - resulting from the contraction and expansion of the
refrigerant gas to produce cold.
• Fan operating sound - to circulate the air within the wine cooler.
Loading the Wine Cooler
• You may load your wine bottles in single or double rows while taking note of the
following: if you do not have enough bottles to fill your wine cooler, it is better to
distribute the load throughout the wine cooler so as to avoid "all on top" or "all
below" type loads.
• Do remove or relocate adjustable wooden shelves to accommodate larger type
of bottles or increase the capacity of the cooler by stacking the bottles up when
necessary.
• Keep smalls gap between the walls and the bottles to allow air circulation. Like an
underground cooler air circulation is important to prevent mould and for a better
homogeneous temperature within the cooler.
• Do not over load your wine cooler to facilitate air circulation.
