TROUBLESHOOTING CONT.
Unnished Wood Cabinets are NOT Warranted Against Warpage
Although the nest craftsmanship and materials are always used to make Vinothèque products, unnished wood
cabinets are not warranted against warpage. Because the grain of the wood is not sealed against
potential warpage that can occur through dierent kinds of climates, it is not recommended to request yours in this
style.
The Vinothèque panel construction is a “sandwich” of rigid insulating foam between two outside veneer
panels. This construction will only deform if the moisture content of one panel is at variance with that of the other.
A warpage condition, which is reversible, might develop during transportation or after installation in an ambient
environment substantially dryer or substantially more humid than that in which the unit was
manufactured and packaged with the doors closed (only exterior panel of door exposed to ambient).
For example, a unit manufactured in California during the rainy season (winter) and installed in an eastern heated
room will tend to develop a concave warp as the outside exposed veneer panel dries up; while the same unit built in
the dry summer weather and installed in Florida will develop a convex warp as the exposed panel absorbs outside
moisture.
If a problem exists, use the following guidelines to resolve the problem:
• Heat up the gasket with a hair dryer while using your ngers to pull the
gasket outward. Doing this for several minutes will loosen the gasket
material and increase its exibility.
• Close the door and determine if the magnetic strip within the gasket will
seal with the metal strip on the door.
• Repeat steps until gasket seals correctly. Once it has reseated itself, leave
the doors closed for two to three hours. The seal should retain the new
shape after this process.
Door Gasket Not Sealing Correctly
If the cabinet’s cooling system is running continually without reaching the desired
temperature, the problem may lie with the door gaskets not sealing correctly.
Examine the door gasket around the entire unit.
You can also check this by turning on the cabinet’s interior light and turning o the lighting
in the room. Determine if there is an area that is not sealing properly.
