o If you are trying to store a mixture of wine types in the appliance, we would recommend that red wines are stored at the top of the cooling zone, white wines in the middle of the cooling zone and sparkling wines at the bottom of the cooling zone. 3) Interior light o The cooling zone has an interior light. The light can be switched on and off by using the light ON/OFF button (C).
Using your Baumatic wine cooler Before switching on o Make sure that it has been installed by a suitably qualified person, as per the information contained in Baumatic’s installation instructions. o After delivery, wait for eight hours before connecting the appliance to your mains supply. This will allow any refrigerant gasses that may have been disturbed during the transportation process to settle.
Switching on the appliance and setting the temperature o When the appliance is connected to your mains supply, the temperature LED display (E) will show the factory pre-set temperature of +12°C. o Use the temperature increase (A) and temperature decrease (B) buttons to set the temperature that you require. Each press of these buttons will adjust the temperature on the temperature LED display (E) by one degree.
o You cannot change the display if you are in the process of adjusting the temperature of the cooling zone (i.e. the display is flashing). Interior light o To operate the interior light, you should use the light ON/OFF button (C). You cannot operate the interior light if you are in the process of adjusting the temperature of a cooling zone (i.e. the displays are flashing). Loading the wine cooler o IMPORTANT: Your appliance is ideally suited to store 0.75 litre wine bottles.
o Temperature stability is the most important factor when it comes to storing wine. o Exposure to light, vibrations or fluctuations in temperature and humidity can all cause wine to spoil. When properly stored, wines not only maintain their quality but many will actually improve in aroma, flavour and complexity as they mature. o Wines kept at a higher temperature will age faster. Wine that is exposed to temperatures that are greater than 21°C (70°F) will suffer from poorer flavour and aroma.
Wine storage problems Corking- a tiny percentage of bottled wine (about 1%) will suffer from this. The cork reacts with the wine and gives it a musty, unpleasant taste. It is the most common wine storage problem and is caused by harmless bacteria growing on the cork. As unfortunate as this is, there is nothing to do but to discard all of the wine in the affected bottle. This is not to be confused with small fragments of cork floating in the wine itself, which will not impair the flavour.
Cleaning and maintenance WARNING: PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOUR APPLIANCE IS DISCONNECTED FROM YOUR MAINS SUPPLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CLEAN IT. o Do not clean the appliance by pouring water onto it or spraying water over it. o The interior of the wine cooler should be cleaned periodically, using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water. o Clean the accessories separately with soap and water. Do not clean them in a dishwasher. o Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps.
Defrosting o Defrosting occurs automatically inside of the wine cooler during operation. The defrost water is collected by the evaporating tray and evaporates automatically. o The evaporating tray and defrost water drain hole should be cleaned periodically. This will prevent water from collecting in the bottom of the wine cooler, instead of flowing down the defrost drainage channel and drain hole. o You can also pour a small amount of water down the drain hole to clean inside of it.
o Remove the upper hinge cover (1). o Use a screwdriver to remove the two screws (2) holding the upper hinge (3) to the right hand side of the housing. o Carefully lift up the door and place it on a soft surface to protect it from scratches. o Use a suitable pointed tool to remove the covers for the screw holes (12). o Pull out the two bolts (6) which hold the lower right hinge plate (10) in position.
