This document describes the Ca'Lefort Dual Zone Wine/Beverage Refrigerator, model Clf-WF24, designed to store and cool wine and beverages. It emphasizes user convenience, advanced cooling, and a stylish design suitable for various home environments.
The Ca'Lefort Clf-WF24 is a dual-zone wine and beverage refrigerator that allows for separate temperature control in two distinct compartments. This enables optimal storage conditions for different types of beverages, such as red wines, white wines, sparkling wines, and various canned drinks. The appliance is designed to maintain temperatures between 36°F and 72°F (2°C and 22°C), ensuring that both red and white wines are kept at their ideal serving temperatures. The dual-zone functionality is managed through an internal digital temperature control panel, providing precise and customizable temperature settings for each zone.
The refrigerator utilizes an advanced cooling system to ensure consistent and efficient temperature regulation. It also incorporates a charcoal filtration system to maintain air purity and an odor-free environment, which is crucial for wine storage. The unit features automatic defrosting, where condensate collects in a drainage channel and evaporates, simplifying maintenance.
The design supports both freestanding and built-in installations, offering flexibility in placement within kitchens, living rooms, offices, or bar areas. Its aesthetic appeal is enhanced by a seamless stainless steel frame, a double tempered grey glass door, and three-color interior LED lighting (white, blue, and amber).
The Ca'Lefort Clf-WF24 is equipped with several features designed for ease of use and optimal beverage storage.
Storage Capacity: The appliance offers a generous storage capacity, accommodating approximately 20 traditional Bordeaux 750ml wine bottles in the right zone and 60 standard 12oz beverage cans in the left zone. The interior includes 6 movable carbonized wooden shelves for wine bottles and 3 removable chrome wire shelves for beverage cans, allowing for flexible organization of contents.
Temperature Control: The dual-zone system allows users to set independent temperatures for the left and right compartments. The control panel features capacitive touch electronic controls for adjusting temperatures. Users can increase or decrease the temperature by 1°C or 1°F with dedicated UP/DOWN buttons. The temperature display can be switched between Fahrenheit and Celsius. After 5 minutes of inactivity, the keypad lights turn off, and the temperature displays normally, with any touch reactivating the button lights.
Interior Lighting: The refrigerator includes three interior LED lighting options: white, blue, and amber. Users can cycle through these colors or turn the light off using the light control button, enhancing visibility and presentation of the contents.
Door Features: The unit features a double-layer tempered grey glass door that improves temperature stability and reduces condensation, contributing to energy efficiency. The door also has reversible hidden hinges, allowing for flexible door swing configuration to suit different installation needs. An aluminum alloy handle adds to the appliance's luxurious and classic style.
Safety Precautions: The manual emphasizes important safety rules, including proper grounding of the appliance with a 3-prong outlet, avoiding extension cords unless specifically rated, and ensuring adequate ventilation. It also warns against child entrapment, advising users to remove doors and leave shelves in place when disposing of old units. The appliance uses R600a refrigerant, which is environmentally friendly but flammable, necessitating careful handling during transportation and installation to prevent damage to the refrigerant circuit.
Installation Flexibility: The design supports both freestanding and built-in installations. For built-in setups, specific clearances (1/4" on each side and top) are recommended to ensure proper air circulation. For freestanding use, 5 inches (127mm) of space behind and on the sides is suggested. The unit must be leveled for proper operation using adjustable leveling legs at the bottom.
Power Management: The appliance requires a standard 115V/60Hz electrical ground outlet. It is recommended to use a power surge protector, especially in areas prone to power surges, to protect the control boards from damage.
Maintaining the Ca'Lefort Clf-WF24 is designed to be straightforward, ensuring longevity and optimal performance.
Cleaning the Interior: Regular cleaning of the interior surfaces is recommended. This can be done with a warm water and baking soda solution (approximately 2 tablespoons of baking soda to 1 cup of water). Shelves should be washed with a mild detergent solution. When cleaning near controls or electrical parts, excess water should be wrung out of the cloth or sponge.
Cleaning the Exterior: The outside cabinet can be cleaned with warm water and a mild liquid detergent, then rinsed well and wiped dry with a soft cloth.
Charcoal Filtration System: The wine cooler is equipped with an active charcoal filtration system to maintain air purity and an odor-free cabinet. This filter, located at the bottom of the rear panel, should be changed every 12 months. The process involves removing bottles from the front shelves, setting aside the shelves, turning the filter 45 degrees counter-clockwise to pull it out, replacing it with a new one, and then turning the new filter 45 degrees clockwise to secure it.
Automatic Defrosting: The unit features automatic defrosting, eliminating the need for manual defrosting. The evaporator behind the rear wall defrosts automatically, and the condensate drains into a drip tray where it evaporates.
Power Failure Protection: In the event of a power failure, the appliance is designed to maintain its internal temperature for several hours, provided the door opening is minimized. If the power outage is prolonged, users are advised to take steps to protect the contents.
Moving the Appliance: When moving the wine cellar, all items (bottles) should be removed, and loose items (shelves) should be securely taped down. The adjustable legs should be turned up to the base to prevent damage. The door should be taped shut, and the appliance should remain upright during transportation. If horizontal transport is necessary, it should be transported on its back with the door on top. The exterior should be protected with a blanket or similar item.
Troubleshooting Guide: The manual includes a comprehensive troubleshooting guide to help users diagnose and resolve common issues, such as the cellar not operating, not being cold enough, frequent compressor/fan cycling, excessive noise, display errors, flashing interior lights, frost appearance, and improper door closure. This guide aims to reduce the need for professional service calls.
Warranty Information: The product comes with a 1-year warranty on parts and labor and a 3-year warranty on the compressor, covering defects in material or workmanship under normal use. Specific exclusions, such as damage from misuse, acts of God, or unauthorized repairs, are detailed.
