PLACING THE CABINET (CONT.) Ventilation The cabinet must have adequate ventilation to allow the exhaust side of the cool- ing unit to operate correctly. As the unit cools on the inside, condensing refriger- ant creates heat, which will need to dissipate away from the unit on the outside. Some units have an exhaust fan mounted on top of the cabinet, which forces air away from the unit vertically. In order to avoid disrupting the ventilation, do not place anything on top of the cabinet. If your

LEVELING THE CABINET The cabinets have leveling legs that can be adjusted up or down with a wrench (provided with unit) as needed. There are two primary reasons for leveling the cabinet: — To assure that the unit stands solidly on the floor without rocking back and forth — To adjust the doors and make sure they are flush with one another, providing a tight seal These leveling legs are pre-adjusted at our factory, but they may need to be tweaked to fit your specific install location.

DOOR ALIGNMENT To assure the best performance from your Vinothèque wine cabinet, the doors must seal properly in order to prevent cool air from escaping. Check the alignment of the doors before filling it with bottles of wine. The doors are aligned at the factory and no additional special door alignment is needed for Credenzas. If adjustments are necessary, compensate for this problem by adjusting the two front and/or outside legs. The high side of the cabinet should be adjusted down while th

LIQUID MEASURING THERMOMETER All cabinets come with our Precision Digital Technology liquid temperature measuring thermostat system. With this technology, a bottle probe relays information back to the thermostat, giving you a reading of the wine, not of the air around it. Aside from the probe, the system offers other advantages: — A built-in defrost cycle: The unit is designed to shut off for five minutes every 90 minutes in order to prevent frost. This allows the cooling unit to cool effecti

Vinothèque units are equipped with sophisticated heating elements that automatically sense the presence of water and work until the water is gone. — “On”: Turning the condensate evaporator on causes the heating element to operate whenever water is present in

TESTING THE REFRIGERATION UNIT Remember, do not start or plug in your unit for 24 hours after delivery. Many units are placed on their sides during shipping, which may allow compressor oil to escape their reservoirs. Premature starting before the oil has had a chance to resettle can cause damage to the compressor and result in a lack of cooling. Before you fill the cabinet with wine, you’ll want to check the operation of the unit. All cabinets successfully pass quality control at the Vinothèq

Examine the door gasket around the entire unit. You can also check this by turning on the cabinet’s interior light and turning off the lighting in the room. Determine if there is an area that is not sealing properly. If a problem exists, use the following guidelines to reso
