• Read all instructions before using the appliance.
• Ensure the appliance is properly grounded.
• Do not operate the appliance with a damaged cord or plug.
• Keep ventilation openings clear of obstruction.
• Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable propellant in this appliance.
• Unplug the appliance before cleaning or performing maintenance.

Unpacking and Setup

Unpacking

Carefully remove all packaging materials. The package includes the wine cabinet. Inspect the unit for any shipping damage. Report any damage immediately to your dealer.

It is recommended to keep the original packaging for future transport of the appliance.

Placement

This is a freestanding wine cooler. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit. Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight or near heat sources (e.g., oven, radiator, or other heat-generating appliances). The appliance should be placed on a flat, stable surface.

Allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) of space at the back and sides of the unit for proper air circulation.

Leveling

The unit is equipped with adjustable feet. Adjust the feet to ensure the appliance is level. A level unit will operate more efficiently and prevent door alignment issues.

Electrical Connection

Before plugging in the unit, allow it to stand upright for at least 2-4 hours. This allows the refrigerant to settle. Connect the appliance to a dedicated, properly grounded 110v/60Hz, 1.7 amps electrical outlet (NEMA 5-15P). Do not use extension cords or adapter plugs.

Operating Instructions

Temperature Control

The Eurodib USF168S features a single temperature zone with a digital control panel, typically located at the top interior of the unit. The temperature range is adjustable between 41°F and 64°F (5°C and 18°C). Use the up and down arrows on the control panel to set your desired temperature. The fan-forced evaporator cooling system will then circulate cold air to maintain this setting.

Loading Bottles

The unit is equipped with fifteen beech wood shelves designed to hold up to 165 standard wine bottles. Ensure bottles are placed securely on the shelves to prevent rolling or damage. Avoid overloading shelves to allow for proper air circulation.

LED Interior Lighting

The interior LED lighting illuminates the wine collection. This light can typically be turned on or off via a button on the control panel. It is recommended to keep the light off when not viewing the contents to conserve energy and minimize heat transfer.

Maintenance

Cleaning the Interior

Before cleaning, unplug the appliance. Clean the interior with a soft cloth dampened with a solution of mild detergent and warm water. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the interior is dry before plugging the unit back in.

Cleaning the Exterior

Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For stainless steel parts, use a stainless steel cleaner. Avoid getting water into the control panel or electrical components.

Defrost System

The Eurodib USF168S features an automatic defrost system. During operation, frost may accumulate on the evaporator. This frost will periodically melt and drain into an evaporation tray, where it evaporates. Ensure the drain hole (if visible) is not obstructed.

Power Outage

In case of a power outage, the wine cooler will generally maintain its temperature for several hours if the door remains closed. Avoid opening the door unnecessarily during a power outage to preserve the internal temperature.

Troubleshooting

Before contacting service, please check the following common issues:

• Appliance does not operate: Check if the power cord is properly plugged into the outlet. Verify the circuit breaker or fuse.
• Temperature is not cold enough: Ensure the door is closed properly. Check if the temperature setting is correct. Avoid placing the unit near heat sources. Ensure adequate ventilation.
• Excessive noise: Ensure the unit is level. Check for any objects vibrating against the unit.
• Water on the floor: Check if the drain hole is clear (if applicable) and the evaporation tray is correctly positioned.

If problems persist after checking these points, please contact Eurodib customer support.
