Vacation and Moving Care

Vacations
If you choose to turn the wine cellar off before you leave, follow
these steps.
1. Remove all wine bottles from the wine cellar.
2. Unplug the wine cellar.
3. Clean the wine cellar. See "Cleaning."
4. Tape a rubber or wood block to the top of the door to prop
it open far enough for air to get in. This stops odor and mold
from building up.
Try the solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.
Your wine cellar will not operate

The lights do not work
Is the power supply cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded

Your wine cellar is equipped with LED lighting which does not
■
need to be replaced. If there is power to the wine cellar and
the lights do not illuminate when the door is opened, call for
service or assistance.
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.

2. Unplug the wine cellar.
3. Clean, wipe, and dry it thoroughly.
4. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape them
5. Tape the doors shut and tape the power cord to the wine
When you get to your new home, put everything back and refer to
the "Installation Instructions" section for preparation instructions.

TROUBLESHOOTING

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."

cellar.
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."
