3. Setup
3.1 Unpacking
Carefully remove the wine cooler from its packaging. Inspect the unit for any signs of damage during transit. Retain packaging materials for future transport or if the unit needs to be returned.
3.2 Placement
Choose a location that is dry, well-ventilated, and away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Ensure there is at least 10 cm (4 inches) of space around the back and sides of the unit for proper air circulation. The ambient temperature should be between 10°C and 32°C (50°F and 90°F) for optimal performance.
3.3 Leveling
The wine cooler must be level to function correctly. Adjust the leveling feet at the bottom of the unit until it is stable and level. This prevents vibrations and ensures proper door sealing.
3.4 Power Connection
Before plugging in, allow the unit to stand upright for at least 2 hours. This allows refrigerants to settle. Plug the power cord into a dedicated, grounded electrical outlet (230V, 50Hz). Do not use adapters or extension cords.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Control Panel
The control panel is located on the upper part of the door, featuring a digital display and touch buttons for temperature adjustment and light control.

4.2 Temperature Adjustment
The Orbegozo VT 2700 has two independent temperature zones. Each zone has its own digital display and temperature control buttons.
- Selecting a Zone: Press the 'Zone Select' button (if available, otherwise assume separate controls for each display) to toggle between the upper and lower zones.
- Setting Temperature: Use the 'Up' and 'Down' arrow buttons next to each digital display to adjust the desired temperature for that specific zone.
- Upper Zone: Adjustable from 7°C to 18°C. Ideal for white wines and sparkling wines.
- Lower Zone: Adjustable from 11°C to 18°C. Ideal for red wines.
- The display will show the set temperature, then revert to showing the actual internal temperature after a few seconds.
4.3 Interior Light
Press the 'Light' button (represented by a light bulb icon) on the control panel to turn the interior LED light on or off.
4.4 Loading Bottles
Arrange bottles on the shelves, ensuring they do not touch the back wall or obstruct the internal fan (if visible). Avoid overcrowding to allow for proper air circulation and temperature distribution. The shelves are designed to accommodate standard-sized wine bottles.

5. Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning the Interior
To clean the interior, first unplug the unit. Remove all bottles and shelves. Wipe the interior surfaces with a soft cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly before replacing shelves and bottles. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
5.2 Cleaning the Exterior
Clean the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For the glass door, use a glass cleaner. Avoid getting water into the control panel or electrical components. Dry thoroughly.
5.3 Power Outage
In case of a power outage, minimize opening the door to preserve the internal temperature. Once power is restored, the unit will resume operation at the previously set temperatures.
5.4 Extended Absence
If the wine cooler will not be used for an extended period, unplug it, empty all contents, clean the interior, and leave the door slightly ajar to prevent odors and mold growth.
