Initial Use

Plug in and switch on the cellar by pressing on the power button for a few seconds.
When you use the wine cellar for the first time (or restart the wine cellar after having it shut off for a long time), there will
be a few degrees variance between the temperature you have selected and the one indicated on the LED readout. This
is normal and it is due to the length of the activation time. Once the wine cellar is running for a few hours everything will
stabilize.
IMPORTANT: If the unit is unplugged, power is lost, or turned off, wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit. The
wine cellar will not start if you attempt to restart before this time delay.

Operating Noises

To reach the desired temperature settings, Cavavin wine cellars and beverage centers, like all units operating with
compressors and fans, may produce the following types of noises. These noises are normal and may occur as follows:
−
Gurgling sound - caused by the refrigerant flowing through the appliance's coils.
−
Cracking/popping sounds - resulting from the contraction and expansion of the refrigerant gas to produce
cold.
−
Fan operating sound - to circulate the air within the wine cellar.
An individual's perception of noise is directly linked to the environment in which the wine cellar is located, as well the
specific type of models. Cavavin wine cellars and beverage centers are in line with international standards for such
appliance. Cavavin will always do its utmost to satisfy its customers but will not retake possession of the goods due to
complaints based on normal operating noise occurrences.

Loading the Wine Bottles

You may load your wine bottles in single or double rows while taking note of the following: if you do not have enough
bottles to fill your wine cellar, it is better to distribute the load throughout the wine cellar so as to avoid "all on top" or "all
below" type loads.
−
Do remove or relocate adjustable wooden shelves to accommodate larger type of bottles or increase the
capacity of the cellar by stacking the bottles up when necessary. (See removing shelves)
−
Keep small gaps between the walls and the bottles to allow air circulation. Like an underground cellar air
circulation is important to prevent mold and for a better homogeneous temperature within the cellar.
Please note that depending on the loading and settings chosen, it takes about 24 hours for the wine cellar to see the
temperature stabilizing. During this time LED seems to move erratically in particular. It is normal and this process occurs
whenever the setting is modified and/or whenever a large amount of bottles are added to the cellar.
 Do not over load your wine cellar to facilitate air circulation.
 Do not stack more than half a row of standard 0.75L bottles per shelves above the regular row to facilitate air
circulation
 Avoid obstructing the internal fans (located inside on the back panel of the wine cellar).
 Do not slide the shelves outwards beyond the fixed position to prevent the bottles from falling.
 Do not pull out more than one loaded shelf at a time as this may cause the wine cellar to tilt forward.
 Do not cover the wooden shelves with alloy foil or other materials, as it will obstruct air circulation.
 Do not move your wine cellar while it is loaded with wines. This might distort the body of the wine cellar and
cause back injury.
