DEFROST - CONDENSATION
The cabinet is equipped with an automatic defrost cycle. When the cooling cycle is finished, the refrigerated parts of the
cabinet are defrosted automatically. The water from the defrost is channelled into an evaporation tray which is located in the
back of the cabinet close to the compressor. The heat from the compressor then evaporates the water from the tray.
UPKEEP
Before cleaning the cabinet (this must be done regularly), disconnect it either by unplugging it or by removing the fuse.
It is suggested that before first use and then regularly, the cabinet be cleaned both inside and out (front, sides and on top)
with a mixture of warm water and gentle cleaning fluid. Rinse with water and let dry completely before reconnecting. Do not
use solvents or abrasive products.
Clean the shelves with a gentle detergent then dry with a soft dry cloth.
At the moment of the first use, some odours can persist. In this case, make functioning the appliance at the coldest
temperatures, empty, during a few hours. The cold will cancel all these possible odours.
WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF A POWER OUTAGE
Most power outages are resolved in a short time. An outage of 1 or 2 hours will not affect the temperatures in your cabinet.
In order to protect the wines during the outage, open the door as little as possible. For outages that are very long, take
necessary steps to protect the wine. In the event of a power interruption, the unit can remember the previous temperature
settings, and when the power is recovery, the cabinet temperature will go back the same setting temperature as power off.
STORING THE CABINET
If the cabinet is going to be unused for a short period of time. Leave the control panel with the normal settings.
In case of prolonged un-use
- Remove the bottles from the cabinet
- Unplug the cabinet
- Clean both the inside and the outside of the cabinet
- Leave the door open to avoid condensation, odours and mold.
IF THE CABINET MUST BE MOVED

feet, screw them completely into their base.
