Your Fisher & Paykel Wine Chiller  
Your Fisher & Paykel Wine Chiller  
The storage of wine is important; as wine is a natural, perishable beverage the storage conditions  
impact greatly on the overall taste, quality and aroma of wine. It is therefore important to store  
and serve wine correctly. The Fisher & Paykel Wine Chiller provides you with all the necessary  
storage requirements to ensure your wine is adequately cared for.  
Temperature control is important when storing wine. Too high a temperature ages wine  
prematurely and prevents it from developing to its full complexity. At temperatures above 20°C  
volatile aroma and flavour compounds are lost and oxidation occurs, all contributing to aging  
the wine prematurely. Too low a temperature delays maturation and can result in deposits or  
suspensions in the wine. The Wine Chiller can be set between 6 and 18°C, depending on the type  
of wine and length of storage required.  
More important than the actual temperature of wine is the fluctuation in temperature the wine  
is subjected to. Changes in temperature can ruin wine, as it causes the wine to expand and  
contract in the bottle, damaging the integrity of the cork allowing oxygen to seep in. Daily and  
weekly fluctuations in household temperatures will over time cause damage to your wines and  
age them prematurely. The Wine Chiller provides a constant temperature storage environment  
with minimal fluctuations in temperature, suited to both long and short-term storage of red and  
white wine.

Installation instructions  
Installation instructions  
Please follow the installation instructions below to ensure your appliance operates correctly.  
Power supply  
ƒ
ƒ
The appliance must be installed so that the plug is accessible.  
To ensure that the appliance is not accidentally switched off, connect your Wine Chiller to its  
own power point. Do not plug in any other appliance at this power point or use extension cords  
and double adaptors, as the combined weight of both power cords can pull the double adaptor  
from a wall outlet socket.  
ƒ
For power requirements, refer to the information on the serial plate located on the back of the  
Wine Chiller.  
Note:  
It is essential that the appliance be properly grounded (earthed).  
Positioning your Wine Chiller  
ƒ
Your Wine Chiller should not be located in direct sunlight or next to any heat-generating  
appliance such as a cooktop, oven or dishwasher.  
Ventilation requirements  
ƒ
ƒ
Your Wine Chiller is designed for freestanding installation only. It is not designed for built-in  
application.  
To ensure adequate ventilation for your Wine Chiller, allow a minimum of 50mm of airspace on  
each side of the cabinet, and 50mm at the rear.  
Levelling your Wine Chiller  
ƒ
ƒ
It is important that all four corners of the Wine Chiller base are supported firmly on the floor to  
eliminate any cabinet movement.  
Installing the appliance on a soft, uneven or unlevelled floor may result in twisting of the cabinet  
and poor sealing of the door.  
1
Before moving your Wine Chiller into its position, ensure that the adjustable front feet are fully  
retracted by turning them anti-clockwise, i.e. towards the right of the cabinet.  
Position your Wine Chiller.  
Turn the adjustable feet clockwise, i.e. to the left, to lower the adjustable front feet.  
Raise the front of the appliance until it is stable and the door starts to self-close from an  
open position.  
2
3
4
5
The front levelling foot on the hinge side should take the majority of the weight of the cabinet  
and the cabinet should be stable, i.e. cabinet should not rock or wobble.

Installation instructions  
Before first use  
ƒ
ƒ
Remove all packaging from inside the Wine Chiller.  
Clean the inside of the appliance with warm water and a little liquid dishwashing detergent to  
remove manufacturing and transportation dust.  
ƒ
ƒ
Allow the Wine Chiller to run empty for at least 30 minutes to allow the appliance to acclimatise  
itself before making any temperature adjustments.  
The appliance may have an odour on its initial operation. This will go when the Wine Chiller has  
cooled sufficiently.  
Energy efficiency  
For optimal energy efficiency when operating your Wine Chiller:  
Do not cover your appliance with any material that will prevent air from flowing around the  
cabinet’s sides.  
ƒ
ƒ
Do not leave the door open for any longer than is necessary.

Operating instructions  
Storing red and white wine in the Wine Chiller  
The temperature varies within the Wine Chiller, creating different wine storage zones. When  
storing a combination of red and white wine in the Wine Chiller, the top three shelves, the  
bottom shelf and the drawer should be used for red wine storage. Shelves four to eight should  
be used for white wine storage.  
Short-term storage/serving  
The Wine Chiller is perfect for short-term storage (less than one week) of wines.  
The display has a “white wine” and “red wine” button, which sets the cabinet to the ideal  
temperature for the short-term storage of either red or white wine.  
Red wine  
For short-term storage of red wine it is recommended that the Wine Chiller be set at 13°C as red  
wine is best served slightly warmer. Serving red wines too warm (over 18°C) is undesirable, as  
the alcohol can leave an unpleasant taste on the palate.  
ƒ
ƒ
To activate the red wine setting, simply press the button labelled “red” and the light next to the  
button will illuminate, indicating the chiller is set to it’s red wine setting.  
The default of the Wine Chiller, when on it’s red wine setting is 13°C. (To display the set  
temperature of the red wine setting, press and hold the “white” and “red” buttons simultaneously  
for 3 seconds).  
White wine  
In comparison to red wine, white wine is best served at cooler temperatures, so for short-  
term storage 8°C is recommended. If white wines are stored and served at colder refrigerator  
temperatures, the aromas and flavours are decreased and you won’t get full enjoyment.  
To activate the white wine setting, simply press the button labelled “white” and the light next to  
the button will illuminate, indicating the chiller is set to it’s white wine setting.  
The default of the Wine Chiller, when on it’s white wine setting is 8°C. (To display the  
set temperature of the white wine setting, press and hold the “white” and “red” buttons  
simultaneously for 3 seconds).  
ƒ
ƒ
Long-term storage of wine  
In addition to short-term storage of wine, the Wine Chiller is also perfect for long-term storage of  
wines.  
ƒ
ƒ
The ideal long-term storage (more than one week) temperature for both red and white wine is  
12°C.  
Setting the Wine Chiller at 12°C for long-term storage of wine will maintain and develop the  
quality of the wine to perfection.

Operating instructions  
Interior fan  
The interior fan will stop when the door is opened and will start up again once the door has  
been closed.  
Ventilation control  
Your Wine Chiller is fitted with a ventilation control. This allows ambient air to enter and circulate  
through the Wine Chiller.  
Note:  
In areas or times of high humidity, the vent should always be closed.  
ƒ
ƒ
The ventilation control is located at the bottom rear of the unit.  
To have all the air holes open simply adjust the ventilation control so all the holes are on the top  
(see Fig 3).  
Fig 3. Ventilation control  
Condensation control  
At certain times of the year, your Wine Chiller may produce condensation on the glass door (this  
is normal). Condensation forms when warm, humid ambient air meets a cooler surface causing  
the moisture in the air to condense and collect on the coldest surface.  
To overcome this, your Wine Chiller has a demister function, which when activated gently lifts  
the glass surface temperature, clearing the condensation.  
To clear condensation from the glass door:  
Open the door.  
Press and hold the “Demister” button until the indicator light turns on.  
The condensation control mode is now activated.  
Once the condensation has cleared, press and hold the “Demister” button until the indicator light  
turns off.

Carefully lift the shelf from the securing hooks on the tracks and remove.  
To replace the shelf, make sure that the securing hooks on each track are in between the  
stoppers on the shelf.  
Deodoriser  
The cabinet is fitted with a deodoriser, which helps to remove stale unwanted odour.  
The deodoriser air holes (Fig 5) are located on the rear of the unit, internally and externally to  
allow airflow in and out of the Wine Chiller.  
Fig 5. Deodoriser  
Interior light  
To compliment the look of your wine collection, a soft light has been built into the Wine Chiller.  
The interior light will automatically turn on when the door is opened.  
To turn the light off:  
Push the light button (see Fig 6).  
To set the light to remain on after the door has been closed:  
Push the light button (see Fig 6) before closing the door.
