Overview

This document is an instruction manual for a Caple slot-in wine cabinet, model Wi6117. It provides comprehensive guidance on the installation, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of the appliance.

Function Description:

The Caple Wi6117 is a dedicated wine cabinet designed for the optimal storage and preservation of wine. Its primary function is to maintain a stable and controlled environment, including precise temperature and humidity levels, to ensure wines mature gracefully and are ready for consumption at their recommended drinking temperatures. The cabinet is designed to be slot-in, meaning it can be integrated seamlessly into kitchen cabinetry, offering a sleek and unobtrusive appearance. It features a cooling system that allows for temperature adjustment within a range of 3°C to 18°C, catering to various types of wine that require different storage conditions. The appliance also incorporates an "Auto-cycle" defrost system, which automatically defrosts the refrigerated surface and channels the defrosted water into a drain pan for evaporation, eliminating the need for manual defrosting. Furthermore, a humidity system is included to maintain the correct level of humidity, crucial for preventing corks from drying out and allowing air to enter the bottles.

Usage Features:

The wine cabinet is equipped with a user-friendly control panel located at the top of the unit. This panel includes "Power," "Light," "Up," and "Down" buttons, along with a "Run" indicator light and an LED display for temperature.

  • Power Button: Allows users to switch the appliance on or off by pressing and holding for approximately 3 seconds.
  • Light Button: Controls the internal light, enabling users to illuminate the cabinet's contents without opening the door.
  • Up/Down Buttons: These buttons are used to set the desired cooling temperature. Each press adjusts the temperature in 1°C increments. The temperature setting can be adjusted from 3°C to 18°C. The LED display shows the set temperature, and by pressing and holding either the "Up" or "Down" button for about 5 seconds, the actual cabinet temperature can be viewed temporarily.
  • Run Indicator: This light illuminates to indicate that the cooling mode is currently active.

The shelves inside the cabinet are designed for easy access and secure bottle storage. To prevent damage to the door gasket, the door should be fully open when pulling shelves out. For convenient access to bottles, shelves can be pulled out approximately one-third of the way. The shelves are designed with notches on each side of the tracks to prevent bottles from falling. Removing or installing shelves involves tilting them as per the provided diagram and sliding them in or out.

The appliance also features reversible doors, allowing users to change the door opening direction to suit their kitchen layout. A left-hand hinge kit is supplied with the unit for this purpose, and detailed instructions are provided for the reversal process, involving the removal and reinstallation of hinges and screws.

For optimal performance, the manual advises storing wine in sealed bottles and avoiding overloading the cabinet. It also suggests not opening the door unnecessarily and not covering shelves with materials that could obstruct air circulation.

Maintenance Features:

The manual outlines several key maintenance procedures to ensure the longevity and efficient operation of the wine cabinet.

  • Cleaning: Regular cleaning is recommended. Before cleaning, the appliance should be unplugged, and all items, including shelves and racks, should be removed. The interior surfaces can be cleaned with lukewarm water and a baking soda solution (2 tablespoons of baking soda to 2 pints 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. The exterior cabinet can be cleaned with warm water and mild liquid detergent, rinsed well, and wiped dry with a soft cloth.
  • Defrosting: The "Auto-cycle" defrost system handles defrosting automatically, eliminating the need for manual intervention. The defrosted water evaporates from a drain pan located at the back of the cabinet near the compressor.
  • Humidity System: To maintain the correct humidity level, a small plastic reservoir is provided. If humidity is too low, this reservoir should be placed on the top shelf and filled three-quarters full with water. The water level should be checked occasionally and refilled as needed.
  • Power Failure: In the event of a power failure, most issues are corrected within a few hours and should not significantly affect the cabinet's temperature if the door is kept closed. For longer power outages, users are advised to take steps to protect the contents.
  • Vacation Time: For short vacations (less than three weeks), the wine cabinet can be left operating. For long vacations (several months), it is recommended to remove all items, turn off the appliance, clean and dry the interior thoroughly to prevent odors and mold, and leave the door slightly ajar to allow air circulation.
  • Moving the Cabinet: When moving the wine cabinet, all items should be removed, and loose items (shelves) should be securely taped down. The adjustable legs should be wound up to the base to prevent damage. The door should be taped shut, and the appliance should remain in an upright position during transportation, protected by a blanket or similar item.
  • Energy Saving Tips: To optimize energy efficiency, the wine cabinet should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing appliances and direct sunlight.

The manual also includes a troubleshooting guide to help users diagnose and resolve common issues before contacting Caple Service, covering problems such as the cabinet not operating, not being cold enough, frequent compressor cycling, light not working, vibrations, excessive noise, and the door not closing properly.
