Location
When selecting a position for your unit make sure the oor is at and rm, and that the
room is well ventilated with an average room temperature of between 10°C and 32°C. Avoid
locating your unit near a heat source, e.g. a cooker, boiler or radiator. Avoid direct sunlight.
If you are placing your unit in an outbuilding such as a garage or annex ensure that the unit
is placed above the damp course, otherwise condensation will occur on the cabinet. Never
place the unit in a wall recess or into tted cabinets or furniture.
Free Space Requirements
When installing the unit, ensure that 25 mm
of free space is left at both sides, 50 mm at the
rear of the unit and 25 mm at the top of the
unit. Please ensure there is more than twice the
width and depth distance space of the unit to
fully open the door to a maximum angle.

Cleaning Before Use
Wipe the inside of the unit with a weak solution of bicarbonate soda. Then rinse with warm
water using a ‘wrung-out’ sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before replacing the shelves
and bottle rack. Clean the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth.
If you require more information refer to the Cleaning section.
• Before Plugging in YOU MUST
Check that you have a socket which is compatible with the plug supplied with
the unit.
• Before Turning On!
Do not turn on until two hours after moving the unit. The coolant uid needs
time to settle.
Before Using Your Unit
Before placing any wine in the unit, turn it on and wait for 24 hours, to make sure it is
working properly and to allow it time to fall to the correct temperature. Your unit should not
be overlled.

Operation
Switching On or OYour Wine Cooler
Connect the mains cable to the mains socket. The wine cooler will automatically turn on.
Adjusting the Temperature
Press and repeatedly to adjust the temperature.
At normal room temperature (16°C to 25°C, or 60°F to 90°F), the unit’s operating temperature can
be set between 8°C to 18°C.
Changing between Fahrenheit and Celsius
Press °C/°F to choose Celsius or Fahrenheit.
Switching On or O the Internal Light
The wine cooler’s light does not automatically illuminate when you open the door. It also does
not automatically switch o when you close the door.
Press
to switch on or o the internal light.
When you use the wine cooler for the rst time or restart the wine cooler after having
been shut o for a long time, there could be a few degrees variance between the
temperature you select and the one indicated on the display. This is normal and is due
to the length of the activation time. Once the wine cooler is running for a few hours
everything will be back to normal.
Max Capacity: 8 bottles
If you are concerned that the temperature display of wine cooler is not correct and wish to
check the temperature you will need a special fridge/freezer thermometer. You may also
need a hygrometer to check the humidity of your wine cooler. These are available from most
supermarkets and hardware shops.
Place the thermometer and hygrometer on the middle shelf of the wine cooler, where it can be
read easily. Leave overnight, compare the temperature of the thermometer and the display in the
wine cooler. The humidity in the wine cooler should be between 50%-80% RH depending on the
type of wine.
Stacking the Wine Bottles
When placing the bottles into the wine cooler, make
sure there is no contact with the back inner surface.

Storing Wine in Your Wine Cooler
By using a wine cooler thermometer you can ensure a constant temperature of around 8°C -
18°C, which is ideal for storing wine. Make sure that the bottles are lying on their sides. This
ensures that the wine inside is in contact with the cork, which stops the cork from drying out,
shrinking, letting air in and spoiling the wine. After a bottle has been opened, the wine comes
into contact with air which will start to oxidise the wine. This generally occurs on the wine’s
contact surface, leaving the remaining wine in good condition. By leaving your bottle standing,
you minimise the surface area of the wine which is in contact with air.
If you’re serving white, rose or sparkling wine, chill it lightly for at least 2 hours in the wine cooler
before serving. Most reds should be served at room temperature, or in the case of lighter reds
like Beaujolais, very slightly chilled.
Opened wine will remain in good condition for up to 2 days (for delicate whites), or 3 days (for
rich reds), as long as the bottle is resealed and stored in your wine cooler. Special stoppers that
keep sparkling wine and champagne bubbling for 1 or 2 days after opening can be bought at
most good wine shops. When storing leftover wine, attempt to minimise the oxidation process
of the wine. You can use a ‘vacuum’ which pumps out the air from the bottle leaving it semi-
vacuum. The wine should last for about two weeks.
However, if it is a good quality wine and you intend to nish it within one week, all you’ll need to
do is to replace the cork and leave it standing in your wine cooler.
Dierent wines are best kept at dierent temperatures.
Serving Temperatures
Wine Type °F °C
Rose Wine 48-54 9-12
White Wine 48-58 9-14
Sherry (Light) 48-58 9-14
Red Wine 57-68 13-20
Fortified Wine 57-68 13-20
Sherry (Dark) 57-68 13-20
Filling Your Wine Cooler
When lling your wine cooler the greater the amount of cans and bottles placed inside the wine
cooler from room temperature, the longer it will take to cool them to the desired temperature.
You may wish to temporarily adjust the temperature to a lower setting to speed up the cooling
process. If you do this remember to return it to the previous setting once the drinks have
reached the required temperature in order to conserve energy.
Keep the Door Closed
To prevent cold air from escaping, limit the number of times your open the door.

Cleaning
Cleaning the Inside of the Wine Cooler
There is usually no need to defrost the wine cooler as any ice that is deposited on the back wall
will defrost automatically.
• Before cleaning the wine cooler always disconnect the mains supply.
• Remove all the shelves and detachable accessories and wash in warm soapy water, rinse and
dry thoroughly.
• You should clean the interior of the wine cooler with a damp cloth.
• Check that the drain outlet at the rear wall of the wine cooler compartment is clear of debris
as this will aect the automatic defrosting.
• Empty the water collection tray at the back of the unit. Rinse and dry thoroughly before
replacing.
• Do not let liquid get into the controls or the light.
• It may be necessary to periodically wipe the bottom part of the storage area.
• Never clean the appliance parts with ammable uids. The fumes can create a re hazard or
explosion.
• Do not store or use gasoline or any other ammable vapours and liquids in the vicinity of this
or any other appliance. The fumes can create a re or explosion.
Cleaning the Outside of the Wine Cooler
Use a damp cloth to clean the wine cooler exterior and a glass cleaner to clean the door. Make
sure that the door is closed, to prevent cleaners from getting on the magnetic door seal or inside.
Maintenance
Changing the Internal Light
This is not a user-serviceable part. Please contact a qualied engineer to replace the internal light
for you.
Care When Handling
Ensure the unit is empty and all loose items are secured before moving it. Hold the wine cooler
around its sides or base when moving it. Under no circumstances should it be lifted by holding
the edges of the top surface.
Installation
Don’t cover or block the sides of your wine cooler. - Keep out of direct sunlight and away from
heat sources.

Servicing
This wine cooler should be serviced by a qualied service agent and only genuine spare parts
should be used. Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the wine cooler yourself.
Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunctioning.
Switching O for Long Periods of Time
When the wine cooler is not in use for a long period of time, disconnect it from the mains supply,
empty all wine and clean the wine cooler. Leave the door ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.
Condensation
Condensation may appear on the outside of the wine cooler. This maybe due to a change in
room temperature. Wipe o any moisture residue. If the problem continues, please contact a
qualied service agent for assistance.
Disposal
Old units still have some residual value. An environmentally friendly method of disposal will
ensure that valuable raw materials can be recovered and used again.
Up to date information concerning options of disposing of your old unit and packaging from the
new one can be obtained from your local council oce.
If your unit is tted with a lock, to prevent children from being trapped inside, keep the key out
of reach and not in the vicinity of the unit.
When disposing of an old unit break o any old locks or latches and remove the door as a
safeguard.
