TROUBLESHOOTING You can easily solve many common problems by trying the suggestions below. SYMPTOM Vibrations The door will not close properly. Fan is always running. POSSIBLE CAUSE • Check to make sure the wine cooler is on a level surface. • The wine cooler is not on a level surface. • The racks are out of position. • A bottle is too long. • This is simply a function of the cooling system. The lower the setting, the more the fan will run. If the room is warmer than 70°F (21°C), it will run more. Unit has no power. The inside temperature does not seem correct. The unit does not operate. The unit will not cool. Power is on. General Statements • Check the wall outlet for power. Make sure the outlet is not controlled by a wall switch. • Make sure the cooling vents on the right and left sides of the cooler are not obstructed. Have at least 3" (76 mm) of space on both sides and rear of unit. • The room may be too hot. Example: if the ambient temperature is 80°F (27°C) or higher, the unit can have difficulty chilling adequately on the white wine setting. • When using the unit for the first time, it can take the unit up to 24 hours to reach the desired temperature. • It may not be plugged into the wall socket. • Make sure the wall socket is functional by testing another electrical appliance in the power socket. • Make sure there are at least 3 to 5 bottles in the unit. • Allow at least 24 hours for the internal temperature to adjust properly. • If the room temperature is above 75°F (24°C), the unit will not get below 51°F (11°C). Humidity does not affect the cooling ability of the unit. To achieve accurate temperature control, the unit should not be used or operated in any of the following locations: - in a sunny place - in a room with poor air circulation such as a garage - near another heat-producing appliance (dishwasher, oven, refrigerator). - with an outlet shared with a refrigerator, as the refrigerator will drain power from the wine cellar. - in a cabinet or closet. And remember to have at least 3" (76 mm) of space on all sides of unit. • The unit can be manually set using the + and - symbols.The minimum setting is 45°F (7°C) and maximum is 68°F (20°C). • The unit does not use any CFCs. There is no compressor inside this unit. • The unit uses about as much energy as a 100-watt light bulb.

You can easily solve many common problems by trying the suggestions below.
SYMPTOM
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Vibrations
• Check to make sure the wine cooler is on a level surface.
The door will not close properly.
• The wine cooler is not on a level surface.
• The racks are out of position.
• A bottle is too long.
Fan is always running.
• This is simply a function of the cooling system. The lower the setting,
the more the fan will run. If the room is warmer than 70°F (±1°C), it will
run more.
Unit has no power.
• Check the wall outlet for power. Make sure the outlet is not controlled
by a wall switch.
The inside temperature does not
seem correct.
• Make sure the cooling vents on the right and left sides of the cooler are
not obstructed. Have at least 3" (76 mm) of space on both sides and
rear of unit.
• The room may be too hot. Example: if the ambient temperature
is 80°F (±7°C) or higher, the unit can have difficulty chilling adequately
on the white wine setting.
• When using the unit for the first time, it can take the unit up to ±4 hours
to reach the desired temperature.
The unit does not operate.
• It may not be plugged into the wall socket.
• Make sure the wall socket is functional by testing another electrical ap-
pliance in the power socket.
The unit will not cool.
Power is on.
• Make sure there are at least 3 to 5 bottles in the unit.
• Allow at least ±4 hours for the internal temperature to adjust properly.
• If the room temperature is above 75°F (±4°C), the unit will not get below
51°F (11°C). Humidity does not affect the cooling ability of the unit. To
achieve accurate temperature control, the unit should not be used or
operated in any of the following locations:
— in a sunny place
— in a room with poor air circulation such as a garage
— near another heat-producing appliance (dishwasher, oven, refrig-
erator).
— with an outlet shared with a refrigerator, as the refrigerator will
drain power from the wine cellar.
— in a cabinet or closet. And remember to have at least 3" (76 mm)
of space on all sides of unit.
