Chapter 1 GENERAL INFORMATION MT-01 Indice 0 Page 4
CHAPTER 1: GENERAL INFORMATION 1. Wine and its requirements Wine is the culmination of passion. Thanks to its complexity, it develops very slowly and peacefully! Wine requires the combination of several conditions to flourish and gradually reach its fullest potential.
Serving or temperature control: Climatic single or multi-compartment environment designed to ensure you can enjoy your best wines at the right temperature so that the refined aromas come to life. The mechanical refrigeration system relies on one or several mechanical or electronic thermostats to precisely regulate the temperature. The wine cabinet therefore operates in cycles of minor temperature fluctuations, which can be observed in the cabinet's air flow.
It is controlled through the combination of three factors: - Circulation of ambient, humid air Functionality of the device Inner surface covered in a paint with a high level of granularity (retains condensation droplets) During the cooling period (cold air dries out the air), frost forms and humidity levels can increase to 40%. While the compressor is shut down, the frost melts during the warming-up period and levels can rise to 70%.
The best way to determine a meaningful diagnosis is to fit a temperature recorder for 24 to 48 hours. The curve clearly illustrates the average temperature and the corresponding fluctuations linked to the shut-down and start-up periods of the compressor or winter system (refer to the section on the winter system). Also place a submersible thermometer in a bottle filled with water to determine the exact temperature of the liquid. This enables the explanatory drawings below to be illustrated precisely.
Minimum application temperature: +0°C. Assuming that a wine cabinet is subjected to such extreme temperatures, the winter system will work although it does not have enough power to compensate for extremely cold ambient temperatures. Compressor operating Compressor and winter system not operating Compressor stops the operation of the winter system Reheating in progress Return to 12°C +/-2°C At 25°C, the device is regulated by normal refrigeration.
Always remember the concept of thermal inertia. Ambient temperature Air temperature in the cabinet Increase in temperature before any heat is exchanged with the bottle Start-up of the winter system The conditions of the bottle can also be illustrated in a diagram in the event of a disturbance to the ambient temperature.
The internal temperature increases gradually — the customer opens the door several times a day to check the temperature: It must be explained to worried customers who open the door very frequently in order to check the winter system is working correctly, that this is detrimental to restoring a higher temperature in the device.
Cool the sensor down again. Wait a few minutes, then place your hand on heating device located at the back of the evaporator, on the lower part, for Hungarian models. On Portuguese models, you must place your hand on the step above the compressor, inside the cabinet. If heat is coming out, the system is working. If this is not the case, check the power supply to the element, thermostat and/or replace if necessary (only to be completed by specialist technicians). 6.

Chapter 3 MULTI-PURPOSE WINE CABINETS MT-01 Indice 0 Page 16
CHAPTER 3: MULTI-PURPOSE WINE CABINETS 1. Operating principles These devices are designed for preserving wine and controlling its temperature. Preservation: maintaining the quality of wine over time. Controlling the temperature: bringing the wine to the right service temperature. The temperature distribution is controlled via a static principle: cold air is heavier than hot air.
Humidity: The average humidity is around 55% +/-10 (refer to the general notes): the average is calculated by adding the instant peaks (several fluctuations throughout the day as part of the compressor's operating and shut-down cycles) and dividing the total by two; for example (30% + 80%) / 2 = 55%.
2.2 Lava stones Lava stones absorb and then restore the humidity generated by the condensed water. They do not have a predefined service life. Replace when the stones are showing signs of erosion. The stones must be placed in the defrosting gutter (as indicated on the photograph) after being moistened with water. View of the location of the lava stones. 3. Help resolving problems 3.1 Humidity level is too low: The humidity fluctuates continuously.
How long have you had this wine cabinet? Check the carbon filter is not too old (to be replaced annually) Where is the thermostat located? What is the temperature at the top of the cabinet compared to the bottom? Based on a physical principle, the cold air dries out the air while the compressor is in operation. If the average temperatures are too low, adjust the thermostat setting.
Ensure that the value indicated is not the result of an instant reading taken while the compressor was shut down (the internal temperatures then rise again). 3.3 Odours, moulds and labels coming off: The atmosphere in the cabinet is very humid: has the filter been replaced? (To be replaced annually) If not, replace the carbon filter. 3.
Check the functionality of the thermostat: if it is faulty, replace it (only to be completed by specialist technicians) Is the compressor cooling? Several minutes after the compressor has been operating, place your hand on the evaporator inside the cabinet: If it is cold the refrigeration process is in progress. If it is not cold, refer to the checks listed below. Is the compressor continuously in operation? Yes: Check that there is no gas leak or an obstruction on the refrigerating circuit.
Is the door closed correctly? Is the door joint completely airtight? A loss of energy will result in the continuous operation of the refrigerating units.
3.8 How do I determine the internal temperature and properly regulate the temperature of my wine cabinet? Placing a thermometer in the atmosphere of the wine cabinet will only lead to confusion, even if that is what everyone would do instinctively. The wine cabinet was designed to maintain the temperature of the wine in the bottles at a constant level rather than that of the air. In contrast to the wine and even the material of the bottles, air does not have a mass or any inertia.
If nothing happens, the thermostat and/or the compressor are faulty. Replace (only to be completed by specialist technicians) To test the functionality of the refrigerating units (thermostat + compressor): (only to be completed by specialist technicians) Disconnect the thermostat terminals and bring together to generate a short-circuit. If the compressor is activated, replace the thermostat. If it is not activated, the compressor or the temperature switch is faulty (thermal protector faulty).
Chapter 4 WINE AGEING CABINETS MT-01 Indice 0 Page 26
CHAPTER 4: WINE AGEING CABINETS 1. Operating principles Description of the device CVP180 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16.
These units are designed for ageing wine. The ageing process consists of exposing young or partially aged wines to all of the optimum conditions so that they develop to their full potential. The homogenisation of the temperature operates on a thermodynamic principle and the distribution of the cold: larger production of cold air in the top part and natural homogenisation without any mechanical stirring. The air temperature fluctuates between +10°C and +14°C.
Depending on the thermostat, a temperature of 12°C may not be able to be achieved precisely on setting 3. In such an instance, it is necessary to adjust the position of the cursor. Please note that we have not used the entire adjustable range available on the thermostat (3/4 end stop). You can therefore go beyond the specified reference points, if necessary.
The filter has several purposes including the maintenance of the natural ventilation in the cabinet and also preventing bad odours and insects from entering while ensuring complete darkness. Combined with a hole to extract air (vent located at the bottom of the cabinet) it ensures a continuous circulation of clean air in the cabinet. This natural ventilation has a knock-on effect on the humidity levels in the device.
How long have you had this wine cabinet? Check the carbon filter is not too old (to be replaced annually) Where is the thermostat located? What is the temperature at the top of the cabinet compared to the bottom? Based on a physical principle, the cold air dries out the air. If the average temperatures are too low, adjust the thermostat setting.
How many readings were taken? How? Using what type of device? Ensure that the value indicated is not the result of an instant reading taken while the compressor was shut down (the internal temperatures then rise again). 3.3 Odours, moulds and labels coming off: The atmosphere in the cabinet is very humid: has the filter been replaced? (to be replaced annually) If not, replace the carbon filter. 3.
Where is the thermostat positioned? (if the ambient temperature is higher than 14°C) The required ambient temperature can be a readjusted reading: place the thermostat on a colder application. Check the functionality of the thermostat: if it is faulty, replace it (only to be completed by specialist technicians) Is the compressor cooling? Several minutes after the compressor has been operating, place your hand on the vaporizer inside the cabinet: If it is cold the refrigeration process is in progress.
The temperature indicated on the display keeps fluctuating: This is predominantly a display and not a thermometer indicating the temperature of the wine in the bottles. As explained previously, the device works in cycles and fluctuations are therefore normal and only indicate the air temperature at a given moment. It is based on this principle of fluctuation to the air that a consistent average temperature is maintained in the bottles.
Is the door closed correctly? Is the door joint completely airtight? A loss of energy will result in the continuous operation of the refrigerating units. Significant formation of ice on the inside: unplug the device and leave it to defrost. Check the cabinet settings Ensure that a bottle is not blocking the door Replace the joint if it is deformed.
However, if the customer still wishes to place a thermometer in the cabinet, this should ideally be a measuring device with a portable display that records the minimum and maximum values ensuring that the average can easily be determined from the recorded values. The instant temperature that is displayed is not of great importance if it is not ensured that the internal temperature remains well within the "standard" limits.
3.10 Noises or bangs: This concept is very objective. Depending on its location, the time of day and a person's perception, the concept of noise varies greatly. As means of an example, during the day a mosquito is completely inaudible. However, once it is night and the noise of everyday life subsides, nothing is more unbearable, however, if the dB (A) levels are measured it cannot be perceived. The refrigerating gas circulates through coils. The gurgling noise, small creaks and light bangs are normal.

All of these models must be located in an environment with an ambient temperature of between +16°C and +32°C. These are wine cooling devices that do not have a "winter" system making it possible for them to be kept in an unheated environment. CHAPTER 5: SERVING CABINETS 1. Operating principles These devices are designed for cooling wine. Controlling the temperature: bringing the wine to the right temperature for serving.
1.1 Compression cabinets: Upper compartment: It is equipped with an evaporator and a central ventilator that transmits cold air into the lower compartment. Lower compartment: It is fitted with a heating element. Please note that this is not an actual heating system but rather an adjustment system. The temperature of the lower compartment is achieved through the simultaneous management of hot and cold air production in the upper compartment. 1.
2.2 Humidity level is too high: First of all reassure the customer that THIS PHENOMENON HAS ABSOLUTELY NO IMPACT ON THE WINE. The worse that can happen is that the labels come off. Sprays that protect the labels are commercially available (www.vinokado.com) This is not a model with naturally controlled humidity levels. Do not place the tub(s) of water (in the following models). Check that the door joint is fitted correctly. Do not open the door too often or for too long.
If there is a significant difference (more than 4°C) to the set point temperature, replace the display or the control card (only to be completed by specialist technicians). A maximum tolerance of +/- 3°C is permitted. Check the Ω values of the sensors (only to be completed by specialist technicians) Temperature is too high (compression and thermoelectric devices): Check the temperature control: the ambient temperature may require the thermostat to be adjusted. 1.
The frequent and brief fluctuations of the air temperature around the set point enable the operating principle of the device (specified below) to reach a stable average temperature in the bottle, which in contrast to the air has a mass and inertia. Very frequent ON/OFF cycles: Generally, frequent operations (linked to the internal ventilation) can be detected in these devices.
For built-in models (page 1) check that any remnant packaging does not touch the condenser's ventilator, as this can cause a loud noise. Replace faulty ventilator(s) (only to be completed by specialist technicians) Generally, the most sensitive ventilator in this regard is the condenser's ventilator, which on inbuilt models, is located at the rear next to the housing of the compressor. Due to its angle, it can sometimes slightly misalign generating a noise. 2.
5. If the temperature display shows "E7": there is connection problem with the sensor in the cooling compartment. Replace the sensor. 6. If the temperature display shows "E8": there is a problem with the sensor in the cooling compartment short circuiting. Replace the sensor. If the display shows 37°C, 99F or a "continuous" symbol on some models that have an old version of the control panel, replace the sensor. 7.
CV52IXDZ: Replacing the condenser 1. Cut tube "A" on the compressor and allow the gas to escape. 2. Heat contact points "B" and "C" using a soldering iron. 3. Remove screws 1, 2 and 3 using a screwdriver, then remove the condenser. 4. Put the new on in place, rinse the circuit and refill with gas.
