12. PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS
You can solve many simple problems with your wine cellar yourself, thus avoiding having to contact your
after-sales department. Try the following suggestions.
PROBLEM
The cellar will not start
The cellar does not cool sufficiently
The cellar is too cold
The humidity level is too high
Bottle labels are coming unstuck
The humidity level is too low
POSSIBLE CAUSES
The cellar is not plugged in.
If your wine cellar is in an unheated room, refer to the
section "Winter Kit".
The fuse in your electrical installation has blown.
The thermostat position is set to provide insufficient
cooling: adjust it.
The external temperature is beyond the cellar's
operating temperature.
The thermostat is set to provide excessive cooling:
adjust it.
Humidity is regulated
thermodynamics. During a cooling period, a frost forms
(cold air dries the air), humidity will fall to 40%. During a
heating period, the frost melts and humidity may reach
70%.
Taking an average of these two values, we obtain an
average humidity of 55%. It is essential to calculate an
average value over several cycles and not from a single
reading.
There are two alternatives for reducing the cellar's
humidity:
- Replace the charcoal filters
- Decrease the temperature slightly inside the cellar
