Your Baumatic Wine Cooler might not be cooling adequately due to several reasons. First, ensure the temperature control is properly set. The external environment may require a higher setting. Also, avoid opening the door too frequently or leaving it ajar. Finally, check that the door gasket seals correctly.
What to do if my Baumatic BWCDZ150SS Wine Cooler does not operate?
If your Baumatic Wine Cooler isn't working, start by checking if it's properly plugged into the power outlet and turned on. Also, verify that the circuit breaker hasn't tripped or the fuse hasn't blown.
Why does my Baumatic BWCDZ150SS Wine Cooler automatically turn on and off frequently?
Your Baumatic Wine Cooler may cycle on and off frequently due to several factors. The room temperature might be higher than normal, or a large amount of contents may have been recently added. Opening the door too often, not closing it completely, incorrect temperature control settings, or a faulty door gasket seal can also cause this issue.
Why does the door of my Baumatic BWCDZ150SS Wine Cooler not close properly?
If the door of your Baumatic Wine Cooler won't close correctly, make sure the appliance is level. Also, check if the door was reversed and improperly installed. A dirty gasket or shelves that are out of position can also prevent the door from closing properly.
Why is my Baumatic BWCDZ150SS Wine Cooler making too much noise?
Some noise from your Baumatic Wine Cooler is normal. The rattling noise may be due to the flow of refrigerant. Gurgling sounds can occur as each cycle ends, also caused by the refrigerant. Popping and crackling noises may result from the contraction and expansion of the inside walls. Also, ensure that the appliance is level.
How to fix too much vibration in my Baumatic BWCDZ150SS?
To reduce vibration in your Baumatic Wine Cooler, first, ensure the appliance is level. Then, check that no parts inside the cabinet or in the compressor chamber are loose.
What to do if the lighting does not work in my Baumatic BWCDZ150SS?
If the lights in your Baumatic Wine Cooler aren't working, make sure the unit is plugged in. Check if the circuit breaker has tripped or a fuse has blown. Also, ensure that the lighting is turned on.
What does “HH” or “LL” mean on my Baumatic BWCDZ150SS LED display?
The temperature control is out of order.
This document serves as a user manual for the Baumatic 51 Bottle Temperature Controlled Wine Cabinet, covering both dual zone models (BWCDZ150SS/BWCDZ150GL) and single zone models (BWCSZ150SS/BWCSZ150GL). It provides essential information for installation, operation, and maintenance to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the appliance.
The Baumatic wine cabinet is specifically designed for the storage and chilling of wine bottles in a household setting. It is not intended for storing foodstuffs or for commercial use. The appliance is built to maintain precise temperature control, crucial for preserving the quality and taste of various wines. Dual zone models offer two independently controlled compartments, allowing different types of wine to be stored at their ideal temperatures simultaneously. Single zone models provide a single temperature-controlled compartment for uniform storage. The cabinet operates within specific climate classifications (SN, N, ST, T), ensuring efficient performance within a recommended ambient temperature range of 22-25°C.
Installation and Positioning: The wine cabinet is designed for built-in and permanent installation under a kitchen tabletop. Proper positioning is crucial for its functionality and safety. It should be installed in a location where the ambient temperature aligns with the appliance's climate classification. Two people are recommended for positioning to prevent injury or damage. The appliance should not be exposed to direct sunlight, continuous heat, or extreme temperatures; if proximity to heat sources is unavoidable, an insulation plate should be used. A readily accessible electrical socket is required. The appliance must be placed on a solid, level base, using the adjustable front feet for leveling. Adequate space must be left for door opening to avoid damage or injury. Crucially, the vent at the base of the appliance is for ventilation and must not be obstructed, as this will impair proper operation.
Electrical Connection: The wine cabinet requires a 10 amp moulded lead with an AS/NZS 3112 approved plug. Installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician registered on the E.W.R.B. website, adhering to AS/NZS 3000 Wiring Regulations and local regulations. The mains lead wiring follows a standard color code: brown for live (L), blue for neutral (N), and green and yellow for earth (E). It is imperative to ensure no stray strands or cut wires are present and that the cord clamp secures the outer sheath.
First Use and Power Control: After installation, the appliance should stand upright for approximately 2 hours before connecting to the mains supply to allow refrigerant gases to settle. The exterior and removable accessories should be cleaned with a liquid detergent solution, and the interior with a solution of sodium bicarbonate in lukewarm water, ensuring all parts are thoroughly dried. An initial odor may be present but will dissipate as the appliance cools. The appliance powers on automatically when plugged into a power outlet. It can be turned on or off by touching the power mark. A critical safety measure: if the unit is switched off or unplugged, a minimum of 5 minutes must pass before restarting or reconnecting to the mains supply to prevent damage to the compressor.
Temperature Setting:
Interior Lighting: The interior cool LED lighting can be switched on or off by touching the light button. The light automatically turns off after 10 minutes. To keep the light on continuously, press the button for 3 seconds until an audible sound is heard.
Wine Storage: The standard shelves are designed for Bordeaux bottle storage, though the maximum number of bottles may vary based on their size and the number of pre-installed shelves. Shelves come in two designs:
Vacation Time:
Moving the Wine Cabinet: When moving the appliance, remove all items, securely tape down loose shelves, turn up the adjustable foot to prevent damage, tape the door closed, and ensure the appliance remains upright during transport, protecting its exterior with a blanket or similar item.
Cleaning: Regular cleaning is essential. Before cleaning, ensure the appliance is disconnected from the mains supply. Do not pour or spray water directly onto the appliance. The interior should be cleaned periodically with a solution of about 2 tablespoons of baking soda in 1 liter of lukewarm water. Accessories should be cleaned separately with soap and water, not in a dishwasher. Wooden shelves must be thoroughly dried before being returned to the cooler. Abrasive products, detergents, or soaps should not be used. When cleaning controls or electrical parts, wring excess water from the sponge or cloth. Steel wool or steel brushes should not be used on stainless steel surfaces, as this can cause contamination and rusting.
Power Failure: Most power failures are brief and should not significantly affect the appliance's temperature if the door is opened minimally. For longer power outages, take appropriate steps to protect the contents. Remember the 3-5 minute delay before restarting the wine cabinet after a power loss or unplugging to prevent compressor damage.
Troubleshooting: The manual provides a troubleshooting guide for common issues:
Service and Warranty: Users should not attempt repairs themselves. If issues persist after troubleshooting, disconnect the appliance from the mains supply and contact Baumatic Service Care. Repairs must be performed by a qualified engineer. If a service call is made under warranty and no appliance fault is found, the user may be liable for the call-out charge. The appliance must be accessible for repairs; if installation hinders access or risks damage, the engineer may not complete the repair. This includes situations where the appliance is tiled in, sealed with sealant, or has obstructions like plinths. The warranty conditions, including a 24-month period (3 months for non-residential commercial use), are detailed, covering defects from materials, components, or workmanship, but excluding normal wear and tear, accidental damage, misuse, or unauthorized repairs.
Energy Saving Tips: To maximize energy efficiency, locate the appliance away from heat-producing devices and direct sunlight. Ensure adequate ventilation and never cover air vents. Only open the door when necessary, avoiding prolonged openings or frequent opening/closing.
Lock and Unlock (Option): For models with a door lock, a key is provided. Insert the key and turn it counter-clockwise to unlock, and follow the reversed operation to lock. The key should be kept in a safe place.
