Operating your wine cabinet and setting the temperature The wine cabinet should be placed where the ambient temperature is between 5-32 deg centigrade. If the ambient temperature is above or below this range, the performance of the unit may be affected. For example, placing your unit in extreme cold or hot conditions may cause interior temperatures to fluctuate and prevent it reaching the set temperature.
Setting the temperature Each cooling compartment of the wine cooler is independently controlled. To set the temperature: • Connect the power cord to a properly grounded outlet. In the event of a power interruption, all previous temperature settings are automatically erased and each compartment will default to a preset temperature setting of: 7°C for upper compartment, 7°C for middle compartment and 12°C for lower compartment.
Using the shelves • • • To prevent damaging the door gasket, make sure the door is fully open when pulling shelves out of the rail compartment. For easy access to the storage content, you must pull the shelves approximately 1/3 out of the rail compartment; however this unit was designed with a notch on each side of the shelf tracks to prevent bottles from falling. Place the shelf gap (left and right) under the square plastic block, lift the shelf, then pull the shelf from the wine cabinet.
