Overview

This document is an owner's manual for a Danby Wine Cooler, specifically model DWC036A1BSSDB-6. It provides comprehensive instructions for installation, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting, ensuring proper and safe use of the appliance.

Function Description:

The Danby Wine Cooler is designed for household use to store wine bottles at controlled temperatures. It functions as a dedicated wine storage unit, maintaining optimal conditions for wine preservation. The appliance is not intended for outdoor installation or in environments that are not temperature-controlled, such as garages or porches. Its primary function is to cool and store up to 36 standard 750 ml wine bottles, protecting them from temperature fluctuations, UV light, and excessive humidity.

Important Technical Specifications:

  • Model: DWC036A1BSSDB-6
  • Capacity: Holds up to 36 wine bottles (750 ml size).
  • Dimensions: 44.5 cm (17.5 inches) wide, 84 cm (33.1 inches) high, 51 cm (20.1 inches) deep.
  • Refrigerant: Uses a flammable refrigerant. Users are warned against puncturing refrigerant tubing.
  • Power Supply: Designed for specific voltage and frequency as indicated on the serial rating plate. Requires a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
  • Defrost System: Equipped with an automatic defrost function. Defrost water is channeled to a drip tray above the compressor, where it evaporates due to heat transfer.
  • Temperature Control: Features an externally mounted rear wall thermostat with a graduated blue dial. Thicker, darker blue indicates colder temperatures, while thinner, lighter blue indicates warmer temperatures. The "O" position turns the appliance off.
  • Shelving: Includes plastic-coated, odor-resistant, rustproof, and removable shelves. The top six shelves can hold five bottles each, and the two lower shelves can hold three bottles each.
  • Door: Features a tempered glass door for UV protection and easy interior viewing. It also has magnetic door gaskets for tight sealing, which helps retain cooling power and humidity levels.
  • Leveling: Equipped with an adjustable leveling leg to ensure the appliance is stable and level.

Usage Features:

  • Installation: Requires two people for moving. Before plugging in, the appliance should stand upright for approximately 6 hours to allow the cooling system to settle. It needs 12.7 cm (5 inches) of space between the back, sides, and top and all adjacent walls for proper ventilation. It is designed for free-standing installation and should not be built into a cabinet or counter.
  • Temperature Setting: The thermostat dial allows users to control the internal temperature. Setting the knob just past the middle point of the graduated blue line is recommended for adequate cooling.
  • Interior Light: An interior light illuminates the compartment when turned on, controlled by a switch on the ceiling of the appliance, on the right side of the interior light housing.
  • Shelf Management: Shelves are removable for cleaning and can be reinserted by ensuring they rest securely on support brackets and pushing inward until they lock. Users are advised not to cover shelves with materials that obstruct air circulation.
  • Door Reversal: The manual provides detailed instructions for reversing the door swing, allowing for flexible placement. This process involves removing and reattaching hinges and feet, and requires the appliance to remain upright for 6 hours after the process if it was placed on its back or side.
  • Child Safety: Caution is advised to supervise children to prevent them from playing with the appliance. For old appliances, the door or lid should be removed, and shelves left in place to prevent child entrapment. Locks should not be added to the door or lid.

Maintenance Features:

  • Cleaning: The appliance should be unplugged before cleaning. The interior can be cleaned with a soft cloth and a solution of baking soda (one tablespoon per quart of water) or mild detergent. Removable shelves should be washed in a mild detergent solution. The exterior should be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. The door seals should be cleaned with soapy water, rinsed, and dried. Ammonia or alcohol-based cleaners, abrasive cleaners, or sharp objects should not be used.
  • Defrosting: The automatic defrost function eliminates the need for manual defrosting.
  • Power Failure: Most power failures are short and should not significantly affect the internal temperature if the door is kept closed. For longer outages, steps should be taken to protect contents. A waiting period of 3 to 5 minutes is recommended before restarting the appliance after an interruption.
  • Vacation Mode:
    • Short Vacations (less than three weeks): Leave the appliance operating.
    • Long Vacations (several months): Remove all items, turn off the appliance, clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odors and mold, leave the door slightly ajar, blocking it open if necessary.
  • Moving: Before moving, ensure the appliance is empty, secure the door with tape, turn the adjustable leg up to the base, and protect the exterior with a blanket. The appliance should remain upright during transport. If it is placed on its back or side, it must stand upright for 6 hours before being plugged in at the new location to prevent damage to internal components.
  • Disposal: The appliance should not be treated as regular household waste. It must be taken to an appropriate waste collection point for recycling electrical components, following local waste removal agency or government office guidelines.

Safety Information:

The manual emphasizes several safety requirements, including warnings about flammable refrigerants, the importance of factory-authorized service, proper disposal, and handling instructions. It also highlights the need for proper grounding to prevent electrical shock and advises against using extension cords or ungrounded adapters. Ventilation openings must be kept clear, and mechanical devices or other means not recommended by the manufacturer should not be used to accelerate defrosting. Electrical appliances not recommended by the manufacturer should not be used inside the food storage compartments.
