Vacation and Moving Care
Vacations
If you choose to turn the beverage center off before you leave,
follow these steps.
1. Remove all wine bottles from the beverage center.
2. Unplug the beverage center.
3. Clean the beverage center. See “Cleaning.”
4. Tape a rubber or wood block to the top of the door to prop it
open far enough for air to get in. This stops odor and mold
from building up.
Moving
When you are moving your beverage center to a new home, follow
these steps to prepare it for the move.
1. Remove all wine bottles from the beverage center.
2. Unplug the beverage center.
3. Clean, wipe, and dry it thoroughly.
4. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape them
together so they don’t shift and rattle during the move.
5. Tape the doors shut and tape the power cord to the beverage
center.
When you get to your new home, put everything back and refer to
the “Installation Instructions” section for preparation instructions.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Try the solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.
Your beverage center will not operate
■
Is the power supply cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded
3 prong outlet.
■
Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker
tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit.
■
Is the Beverage Center Control turned to the OFF
position? See “Using the Control.”
The motor seems to run too much
■
Is the temperature outside hotter than normal? Expect the
motor to run longer under warm conditions. At normal
temperatures, expect your motor to run about 40% to 80% of
the time. Under warmer conditions, expect it to run even more
of the time.
■
Is the door opened often? Expect the motor to run longer
when this occurs. In order to conserve energy, try to get
everything you need out of the beverage center at once, keep
wine bottles positioned label side up so that they are easy to
find, and close the door as soon as the wine is removed.
■
Is the control set correctly for the surrounding conditions?
See “Using the Control.”
■
Is the door closed completely? Push the door firmly shut. If
it will not shut all the way, see “The door will not close
completely” later in this section.
■
Are the condenser coils dirty? This obstructs air transfer and
makes the motor work harder. Clean the condenser coils. See
“Cleaning.”
Temperature is too warm
■
Is the door opened often? Be aware that the beverage
center will warm when this occurs. In order to keep the
beverage center cool, try to get everything you need out of the
beverage center at once, keep wine bottles positioned label
side up so that they are easy to find, and close the door as
soon as the wine is removed.
■
Is the control set correctly for the surrounding conditions?
See “Using the Control.”
■
Is the base grille blocked? For best performance, do not
install the beverage center behind a cabinet door or block the
base grille.
There is interior moisture buildup
■
Is the door opened often? To avoid humidity buildup, try to
get everything you need out of the beverage center at once,
keep wine bottles positioned label side up so that they are
easy to find, and close the door as soon as the wine is
removed. When the door is opened, humidity from the room
air enters the beverage center. The more often the door is
opened, the faster humidity builds up, especially when the
room itself is very humid.
■
Is it humid? It is normal for moisture to build up inside the
beverage center when the air is humid.
■
Is the control set correctly for the surrounding conditions?
See “Using the Control.”
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
