Moving

When you are moving your wine cellar to a new home, follow these steps to prepare it for the move.

1.Remove all wine bottles from the wine cellar.

2.Unplug the wine cellar.

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 wine cellar.

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 wine cellar will not operate

WARNING

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.

■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 Wine Cellar Control turned to the OFF position? See “Using the Control.”

The lights do not work

■Is the power supply cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

■Is a light bulb loose in the socket or burned out? See “Changing the Light Bulb.”

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 wine cellar 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 wine cellar will warm when this occurs. In order to keep the wine cellar cool, try to get everything you need out of the wine cellar 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 wine cellar 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 wine cellar 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 wine cellar. 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 wine cellar when the air is humid.

■Is the control set correctly for the surrounding conditions? See “Using the Control.”
