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