• Do not expose the appliance to direct sunlight or a heat source such as ovens, radiators, heaters, etc.

and the ambient temperature.

BASIC OPERATIONIt  is  recommended  you  install  the  Wine  Cooler  in  a  place  where  the ambient  temperature  is  between  23º­26ºC/72º­78ºF.  If  the  ambient temperature is outside this range, the performance of the unit may be affected. Placing your unit in extreme cold or hot conditions may cause interior  temperatures  to  fluctuate  and  the  range  of  8º­18ºC/47º­64ºF may not be reached. • Temperature Range For Your Wine Cooler: 8-18°C/47-64°F • Recommended Temperatures for Chilling Wine Red wines: 14-18°C/57-65°F White wines: 9-14°C/49-58°F Rosé wines: 10-11°C/51-53°F Sparkling wines: 5-9°C/40-49°F

Setting the temperature controllerYour Husky Wine Cooler is fitted with an automatic control panel lock that activates 12 seconds after the last time a button has been touched. To unlock the panel press the UP and DOWN buttons simultaneously for three seconds. You will hear a ‘beep’. The panel is now active for 12 seconds.You can display the temperature in either Celsius or Fahrenheit by pressing

4 H U S k Y M I N I W I N E C O O L E R

H U S k Y M I N I W I N E C O O L E R 5

the °F/°C button. REMEMBER: you will need to unlock the control panel first (see above). The appropriate indicator will illuminate.You may set the temperature as you wish by pressing the UP or DOWN buttons on the control panel. The set temperature will increase by 1ºF or 1ºC for each depression of the UP button. The temperature will decrease by 1ºF or 1ºC for each depression of the DOWN button.If you store mostly red wines, the temperature will ideally be set between 14-18ºC (57-65ºF). The “RED” indicator will illuminate in red.If you store mostly white wines, the temperature will ideally be set between 9-14ºC (49-58ºF). The “WHITE” indicator will illuminate in white.NOTE: When you use the appliance for the first time or restart it after having been turned off for a long time, there may be a few degrees difference between the temperature you select and the one indicated on the LED readout. This is normal. Once the wine cooler has been running for a few hours the display will stabilise.

The temperature displayed may deviate from your set temperature. The internal temperature varies constantly due to the natural cooling cycle, the door being opened, the introduction of new bottles, or air variations around the position of the thermostat. This is not a sign of malfunction or failure of the wine cooler.

CapacityYou may place up to 8 standard-sized 75cl bottles in this wine cooler. As bottles differ widely in size the actual number of bottles may vary.

Interior lightThe interior light may be turned ON or OFF by pushing the button marked with the “Light” symbol. The light will turn off automatically after 10 minutes.

CleaningCAUTION: Failure to unplug the Wine Cooler could result in electrical shock or personal injury. • Unplug the Wine Cooler, and remove all items including shelves. • Wipe the inside surfaces with a damp cloth soaked in a solution of

two tablespoons of ordinary baking soda to a litre of water. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

the controls, or any electrical parts. • Wipe the outside cabinet with a solution of warm water and mild

liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.

Moving your Husky Wine Cooler • Remove all bottles. • Securely tape down the loose shelves inside your appliance. • Tape the door shut. • Protect the outside of appliance with a blanket, or similar item.

Energy SavingYour Husky Wine Cooler should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from sources of heat, and out of the direct sunlight.One characteristic of thermoelectric units is the length of time it requires to recover from having the door opened and shut frequently. It may be necessary to wait longer for the temperature to return to its former level once the door has been opened for too long. This is normal for this type of unit.
