This document serves as a comprehensive user's guide for the Avallon Built-In Wine Refrigerator, models AWC242TSZRH and AWC242TSZLH, providing essential information for its installation, operation, and maintenance. Designed for domestic indoor use, this appliance is engineered to store wine and beverages within an optimal temperature range, ensuring their quality and longevity.
The Avallon Built-In Wine Refrigerator is a single-zone cooling unit specifically designed for the precise storage of wine and other beverages. Its primary function is to maintain a consistent internal temperature, adjustable by the user, to create an ideal environment for preserving wine. The unit features a high-efficiency compressor and an internal fan that circulates air to ensure uniform temperature distribution throughout the cabinet. A built-in carbon filter acts as a natural barrier against harmful odors, protecting the wine from external contaminants that could affect its flavor profile. The refrigerator is equipped with a seamless stainless steel door, which not only contributes to its aesthetic appeal but also helps in insulating the interior. Roll-out shelves provide convenient access to bottles, making it easy to organize and retrieve your collection. The unit is designed for both free-standing and built-in installations, offering flexibility in placement within a home environment, such as under a counter or within kitchen cabinetry.
The wine refrigerator offers several user-friendly features designed to enhance the experience of wine storage. The control panel, located at the top of the unit, allows for easy adjustment of the internal temperature. Users can increase or decrease the temperature in one-degree increments, providing precise control over the storage environment. The unit's power button allows for simple on/off functionality, with an indicator light to show when the unit is running.
A notable feature is the internal lighting system, which offers four distinct settings: Constant Blue, Constant White, Automatic Blue, and Automatic White. This allows users to customize the interior illumination to their preference. In "Constant Mode," the lights remain illuminated whether the door is open or closed, showcasing the wine collection continuously. In "Automatic Mode," the lights illuminate when the door is opened and fade off when closed, triggered by a sensor located on the front vent. This provides an energy-efficient way to light the interior only when needed. The light button on the control panel cycles through these settings, and holding it for three seconds can turn the lights completely off or on.
The roll-out shelves are designed for maximum storage capacity and ease of use. The unit comes with pre-installed rails and a factory-default display shelf, accommodating most standard 750 ml wine bottles. Additional storage shelves are included for those who require more capacity. The shelves glide smoothly, allowing for easy access to bottles without disturbing others. For larger Burgundy bottles that might interfere with overhead posts, the manual provides guidance on removing interfering rails to optimize space.
The unit also incorporates an automatic defrosting system, which operates under most temperature and ambient conditions, minimizing frost buildup. However, in colder or more humid environments, some manual defrosting might be necessary, for which the manual provides clear instructions.
Maintaining the Avallon wine refrigerator is straightforward, ensuring its longevity and optimal performance. Regular cleaning is recommended for both the interior and exterior of the unit. For interior cleaning, users are advised to disconnect power, remove contents and shelves, allow the unit to defrost, and then wipe down the interior with a clean cloth. This process helps prevent mold, mildew, and unpleasant odors.
Exterior cleaning involves using a mild detergent and lukewarm water solution, such as baking soda and water, to clean the door and cabinet. It is crucial to avoid solvent-based or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the unit's surfaces. For stainless steel panels, a cloth dampened with a mild detergent and warm water solution is recommended to prevent discoloration, especially when exposed to chlorine gas and moisture.
The carbon filter, which is vital for odor protection, needs regular replacement. Depending on the unit's exposure to odors, it should be replaced every 3 to 6 months, with more frequent replacement (every three months) suggested if the unit is located in a kitchen.
For long-term storage or relocation, the manual outlines a clear procedure: disconnect power, leave the door open for air circulation to prevent odors, and ensure the interior is dry and clean before storage. Special precautions are advised if children are present, such as removing the door to prevent entrapment. The leveling legs at the bottom of the unit allow for easy adjustment to ensure the refrigerator is stable and level, which is critical for its proper functioning. The door gasket should also be kept clean and properly installed to ensure a tight seal, contributing to the unit's efficiency.
