WINE CELLAR USE

Normal Sounds

Your new wine cellar may make sounds that your old one didn’t make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces, such as the flooring and surrounding structures, can make the sounds seem louder. The following describes the kinds of sounds and what may be making them.

■Your wine cellar is designed to run more efficiently to keep your food items at the desired temperatures and to minimize energy usage. The high efficiency compressor and fans may cause your wine cellar to run longer than your old one. You may also hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound from the compressor or fans adjusting to optimize performance.

■Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant or items stored inside the wine cellar.

■As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your wine cellar.

■You may hear water running into the drain pan when the wine cellar is defrosting.

■You may hear clicking sounds when the wine cellar starts or stops running.

Usingthe Control

For your convenience, your wine cellar control is preset at the factory. When you first install your wine cellar, make sure that the control is still preset to the mid-setting as shown.

Adjusting Controls

The mid-setting indicated in the previous section should be correct for normal usage. The control is set correctly when beverages are as cold as you like.

If you need to adjust the temperature, wait at least 24 hours between adjustments and then recheck the temperature.

To make the wine cellar colder, adjust the control to the next higher setting. To make the wine cellar less cold, adjust the control to the next lower setting.

Temperature Separator (Temperature Display)

The temperature separator displays the current temperatures (Fahrenheit or Celsius) for the upper and lower zones (compartments) of the wine cellar. To adjust the temperature settings, see “Adjusting Controls” earlier in this section.

It combines stylish design with advanced technology to ensure that bottles are stored at optimal conditions, protecting them from light, temperature fluctuations, and vibration.
