DOOR LOCK

Manual. Insert the key into the lock, push in and turn it

CLEANING YOUR APPLIANCE
Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all
items including shelves and rack.
Wash the inside surfaces with a warm water and baking
soda solution. The solution should be about 2
tablespoons of baking soda to a pint of water.
Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution.
Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when
cleaning any area of the controls.
Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid
detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
Do not clean the stainless steel with steel wool pads.
Suggest to using an all-in-one stainless steel cleaner to
clean the stainless steel and always clean in the direction
of grain.
POWER FAILURE
In the event of a power interruption, all previous
temperature settings are automatically memorized. If
power is interrupted (power surge, breaker switch, etc.)
and then powered up again, the unit will operate with the
last temperature set-point.
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours
and should not affect the temperature of your appliance
if you minimize the number of times the door is opened.
If the power is going to be off for a longer period of time,
you need to take the proper steps to protect your
contents.
NOTE:
Irrespective of the cause, if you notice either
abnormal temperature or humidity levels inside your
unit, be reassured that only long and frequent exposure
to these abnormal conditions can cause a detrimental
effect on your wines.
VACATION TIME
Short holidays:
Leave the unit in operation for holidays
of less than three weeks.
Long absences:
If the appliance will not be used for
several months, remove all items, turn off the appliance
and unplug. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To
prevent odour and mold growth, leave the door open
slightly: blocking it open if necessary.
MOVING YOUR APPLIANCE
Unplug the power plug from the electrical outlet.
Remove the contents from the racks and all moving parts
from inside.
Raise the adjustable legs up to the base to avoid
damage.
Tape the door shut and lock it if with a lock system.
Transport the wine cellar only in the upright position.
Also protect the outside of the appliance with a blanket
or similar item.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
Should the unit be left empty for long periods of time, it is
suggested that the appliance is unplugged, and after
careful cleaning, leave the door ajar to allow air to
circulate inside the cabinet in order to avoid possible
condensation, mold or odors forming.
The appliance should be installed in the coolest area of
the room, away from heat producing appliances, and out
of the direct sunlight.
Ensure that the unit is adequately ventilated. Never cover
air vents. Clean dust and dirt from the condenser at
regular intervals.
