Normal Sounds
Your new wine refrigerator may make sounds that are not familiar to
you. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces like the
floor, walls can make the sounds seem louder than they actually
are. The following describes the kinds of sounds that might be new
to you and what may be making them.
Ratting noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant or the
water line, Items stored on top of the wine refrigerator can also
make noises.
The high efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high-
pitched sound.
Water running from the evaporator to the water bin may make a
splashing sound.
As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the
refrigerant flowing in your wine refrigerator.
You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the
condenser fan.
Defrosting
Note that under most refrigerating settings, the unit will
automatically defrost under most ambient conditions. However, on
colder settings, some frost may build up. Additionally, the more
humid the ambient conditions, the more frost may build up. Keep
the door closed as much as possible and avoid opening the door
unnecessarily to minimize frost build-up.
If frost is preventing the door from closing properly, you may need
to power the unit off until the frost melts. Use a soft absorbent towel
to dry the unit.
WARNING: Never attempt to remove frost with a sharp object!
Preparing the Wine Refrigerator for Storage
If the wine refrigerator will not be used for a long time, or is to be
moved to another place, it will be necessary to defrost the unit and
dry the interior.
1. Disconnect the cooler from the power supply by removing the
power plug from the wall socket.
2. Leave the door open to allow for air circulation and to prevent
mold, mildew and unpleasant smells.
CAUTION: Store the unit out of the reach of children. If you have
children, you may want to take additional precautions such as
removing the door to prevent a child from being trapped inside the
cooler!
IMPORTANT:
• Do not touch the power plug
when your hands are wet.
• Never unplug the unit by
pulling on the plug.
