Start-up and Monitoring
In order to prevent any damages caused by potential overheating, after startup and power
failures each unit has to be closely monitored for 12 hours. The WineKoolR products are built
with an upper temperature safety limit, that under normal operating conditions will shut down the
unit at 72 degrees and the display will blink “AL” (alarm) in case the temperature in the cold room
exceeds this value.
In order to allow the unit to cool down your cabinet after plug-in, to a temperature below 72, the
Alarm mode is disregarded by the controller in the first 4 hours of operation.
Allow at least 24 hours to reach the set temperature.
Start-up
– Normal odors
As any new appliance, after assembly, the WineKoolR cabinet might have harmless odors
trapped inside the airtight enclosure. This odor will fade away once the unit is running, and the
door is opened a few times during normal use.
Use - Normal Sounds
Your new WineKoolR
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 WineKoolR is designed to run more efficiently to keep your collection at the desired
temperatures and to minimize energy usage. The high efficiency compressor and fans may
cause your WineKoolR 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 your room.
■
As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your
WineKoolR.
■
You may hear water running into the drain pan.
■ You may hear clicking sounds when the WineKoolR starts or stops running.
Using the Control
For your convenience, your WineKoolR control is preset at the factory. When you first install your
WineKoolR, make sure that the control is still preset at 57 degrees.
Adjusting Controls
– follow steps in the ASSEMBLY and OPERATION MANUAL
The mid-setting indicated in the previous section should be correct for normal usage.
If you need to adjust the temperature, wait at least 24 hours between adjustments and then
recheck the temperature. To make the cellar colder, adjust the control to the next lower setting.
To make the cabinet less cold, adjust the control to the next higher setting.
The controller displays the current temperatures (Fahrenheit or Celsius) of the cellar if not within
