Use Operating noises The compartment is cooled by a compression system. To maintain the selected temperature inside the compartment, the compressor starts working and, depending on the requested temperature, it can operate continuously if necessary. When the compressor starts there is a buzzing sound that tends to decrease in intensity after a few minutes. Another noise related to the normal operation of the appliance is gurgling due to the passage of the refrigerant inside the pipes of the circuit. This noise is normal and is not a sign of machine malfunction. Shutdown If unused for a long time, it is advisable to turn the appliance off. 1. On the control panel, press the ON/ OFF button for a few seconds until the appliance turns off. 2. Remove the plug from the electrical socket. 3. Empty the compartment. 4. Dry off any accumulated residual moisture with a soft cloth. 5. Leave the door ajar to prevent moisture and stagnant air from generating unpleasant odors. 3.5 Alarms NOTE: Alarms are triggered to help protect the wine from temperatures that could compromise its quality. Each alarm is accompanied by flashing text on the display and an acoustic signal. The display continues to flash until the alarm status is eliminated. • To turn off the alarm, press any button on the control panel. Temperature alarm The temperature on the display starts to flash. This means that the temperature inside the compartment is too high or too low compared to the set temperature. This can occur: • When the appliance is first turned on. • If a temperature much higher or lower than the previous value is set. • If the compartment is filled with many bottles at room temperature. • In case of prolonged interruption of the electrical power. 20
