INSTALLING YOUR DUAL ZONE WINE STORAGE UNIT

Figure 1

Select Location

The proper location will ensure peak performance of your

appliance. Choose a location where the unit will be out of

direct sunlight and away from heat sources. Best perfor-

mance will be maintained when installed within the follow-

ing parameters:

Ideal Ambient Temperature Range

Built-In 18-22 °C

Free-Standing 18-32 °C

Cabinet Clearance

Ventilation is required from the bottom front section of the

unit. Keep this area open and clear of any obstructions.

Adjacent cabinets and countertop can be installed on top,

back and sides of the unit as long as the grille and door

access remain unobstructed.

Leveling Legs

Adjustable legs at the front corners of the unit should be set

so the unit is ﬁrmly positioned on the ﬂoor and the front is

raised just enough so the door closes easily when opened

about halfway.

Turn leveling legs clockwise to raise unit, counterclockwise

to lower it.

Green/Yellow

(Earth) Fuse (13A.)

Blue (Neutral) Brown (Live)

Electrical Connection

Use nominal 230 VAC, 50 Hz only. DO NOT USE AN

EXTENSION CORD.

WARNING! THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. All

external wiring must comply with the IEE Regulations for

the Electrical Equipment of Buildings. Connections to the

electrical supply can be made with either a plug and socket

or be permanently wired via a double-pole switch.

The appliance is supplied with a 250VAC PVC (85 degrees

C) core cable (0.5mm=x2.5 metres long). Any replace-

ment cable ﬁtted must follow this speciﬁcation. The unit

may be supplied with either a moulded or rewirable plug.

Should the plug not ﬁt the socket at the installation site, it

should be removed and replaced with the correct type of

plug.

If a moulded plug is ﬁtted which is not suitable, it must be

removed and disposed of. To avoid the risk of electrocu-

tion, a plug must not be left where a child may plug it into

a supply socket. It must not be used for any other appli-

ance. A three pin plug to BS 1363 with a capacity of not

less than 13A must be used and ﬁtted with a 13A fuse

“ASTA” approved to BS 1363.

If you replace the fuse, the cover must be reﬁtted. If the

cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a replacement

has been obtained from your supplier. The color of the

fuse cover is that of the insert in the base of the fuse recess

or elsewhere on the plug. Always state this color when

ordering a replacement cover.

If your appliance has a moulded plug, you do NOT have

to do the following assembly as shown in Figure 1. Appli-

ances with moulded plugs are ready to use as is.

IMPORTANT: The wires should be connected to the ter-

minals of the plug as follows:

Earth to the terminal marked E or coloured Green or•

Green/Yellow.

Neutral to the terminal marked N or coloured Black or•

Brown.

Live to the terminal marked L or coloured Red or•

Brown.

When wiring the plug, ensure that all strands of wire are re-

tained in each terminal. The ﬂexible main cable, plug and

socket must not be exposed to ﬂue products or be allowed

to come in contact with a hot surface. The cable must not

be trapped or pulled taut when the appliance is pushed into

position.

THIS UNIT SHOULD NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES,

BE USED WITHOUT ADEQUATE EARTHING.

Start Your Appliance

Your unit will start upon initial plug-in. The message center

will display an amber “POWER FAILURE” message upon

initial plug-in due to your unit being powered-on at the

factory to verify performance and then powered-off. The

Sentry System™ refrigeration monitor senses a power out-

age has occurred and relays this information to you when

you initially power-up your unit. This is normal and press-

ing the “ON/OFF” button for one (1) second will reset this

alarm function.

If your unit does not start upon initial plug-in, push and

hold the “ON/OFF” key located on the display panel for

ﬁve (5) seconds.

Once loaded with wine bottles, allow at least 72 hours for

the unit to stabilize before making any adjustments to the

initial setting.

Set Your Temperature Mode

This product can display either Fahrenheit or Celsius. To

do so, press the “°F/C” key on the display panel.

Control Range

The unit is equipped with two individual refrigeration

compartments, each one independent of the other. The

available temperature range of each compartment is from

4 to 18 °C (40 to 65 °F). The control range allows ﬂexibility

of temperature preferences and provides the ideal wine

storing and/or serving temperatures. Optimum efﬁcien-

cies regarding performance and energy consumption are

achieved when the lower compartment is chosen as the

coldest compartment of the two compartments.

View Your Current Compartment Settings

Push the “SET” key once and the word “SET” and the cur-

rent set-point will be displayed in the upper compartment.

Push the “SET” key a second time and the word “SET” and

the current set-point will be displayed in the lower compart-

ment. Push the “SET” key a third time to exit view compart-

ment settings.

Change Compartment Temperatures

While the “SET” icon is displayed for a given chamber,

push the “WARMER” or “COLDER” key for your desired

temperature. Push the “SET” key to exit set-point mode

and activate your new temperature settings, or after 10

seconds the new settings will automatically be activated.

Interior Light and Switch

The interior light makes it easy to view your wine labels

and enhances the display of your collection. Pressing the

“LIGHT” key toggles between 2 modes of operation for

the internal lights: functional (default) mode and showcase

mode. If you are in functional (default) mode, the lights

will turn on only if the door is open. If you are in showcase

mode, the lights will be on whether or not the door is open.

When in showcase mode, a light indicator is illuminated on

the display.

Warning Alarms

Your dual zone wine cellar has been ﬁtted with a Sentry

System™ refrigeration monitor. This monitor will let you

know that your cellar is functioning properly for optimum

wine storage and will alert you in the unlikely event there is

an unstable condition.

Door Ajar Alarm

If the door has been left open for over ﬁve (5) minutes, the

alarm will sound and the message center will display an

amber “DOOR AJAR” message.

High and Low Temperature

If your unit reaches temperatures outside normal operating

temperatures for your set point for one (1) hour or greater,

an alarm will sound and the message center will display ei-

ther a red “HI/LOW TEMP UPPER” or a red “HI/LOW TEMP

LOWER” message. This will warn you that your wines have

seen temperatures that are out of range.

Power Failure

If your unit experiences a power failure, the message center

will display an amber “POWER FAILURE” message.

Reset Alarms

Press the “ON/OFF” button for approximately one second.

This will reset all audible and display alarms.

Sabbath Mode

By enabling this mode, you will be disabling the display,

Sentry System™ message center, audible alarms and

interior lights. To enable Sabbath Mode, press and hold

the “SET” key while pressing the “°F/C” key 4 times within

7 seconds. To disable Sabbath Mode, repeat the enable

process. The Sabbath Mode will automatically disable after

72 hours. A power outage will not disable Sabbath Mode.

DUAL ZONE WINE STORAGE UNIT FEATURES

Independent Storage Compartments

Both compartments can be set for either temperature

range, red or white, but for more efﬁcient energy usage

and functionality of the unit, it is better to use the top com-

partment for reds (warmer) and the bottom compartment

for whites (cooler).

Insert Wine Bottles

The ﬁve (5) upper shelves each hold eight (8) bottles in a

front to back fashion. See Figures 4 and 5 for typical wine

bottle spacing. The bottom shelf holds four (4) bottles in a

side to side fashion.

Roll-out Racks

The top ﬁve (5) roll-out wine racks may be pulled out

approximately 355 mm. to facilitate adding or removing

bottles and the bottom shelf may be pulled out approxi-

mately 196 mm. Do NOT lean on or press down heavily

on the wine shelves. Doing so may damage the shelves

and the wine bottles stored on them. Pull the wine racks

out gently and carefully to minimize unsettling your wine

collection. AVOID pulling out more than one rack at any

time to maintain stability.

Single Bottle Racks

Since bottles are not stacked on top of each other, you can

easily view and access your inventory without disturbing

other bottles (see Figure 5).

Vibration Neutralization System

The Vibration Neutralization System (VNS) is a unique

three-layer design that protects your wine from damaging

vibration without sacriﬁcing cabinet capacity.

The compressor is isolated from the wine storage cav-1.

ity, virtually eliminating the transfer of vibration.

Vibration isolating mounts on the compressor offer a2.

CARE AND CLEANING OF YOUR DUAL ZONE WINE STORAGE UNIT

Condenser

The condenser tubing inside the cabinet does not require

frequent cleaning; however, satisfactory cooling depends

on adequate ventilation over the coils. Be sure that noth-

ing obstructs the required air ﬂow openings in front of the

cabinet. At least once or twice a year, brush or vacuum lint

and dirt from the condenser for efﬁcient performance by

unscrewing the grille on the bottom front of the cabinet.

Cabinet

The painted cabinet can be washed with a mild soap and

water and thoroughly rinsed with clear water. NEVER use

abrasive scouring cleaners.

Interior

Wash interior compartment with mild soap and water. Do

NOT use an abrasive cleaner, solvent, polish cleaner or

undiluted detergent.

Roll-out Racks

The racks may be cleaned with mild soap and water and a

soft cloth. DO NOT use any abrasive cleaners.

Door Gasket

The vinyl gasket may be cleaned with mild soap and water,

a baking soda solution or a mild scouring powder.

Light Bulb Replacement

WARNING! DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD BEFORE

ATTEMPTING LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT. Failure to do so

may result in an electrical shock that could severely injure

you.

This product uses two, 6 watt light tubes to illuminate the

interior of the dual zone wine storage unit: one in the

upper compartment and one in the lower compartment.

The upper compartment light tube is located behind the

display housing. The lower compartment light tube is

located on the underside of the divider that separates the

compartments. The light tube is a very reliable electrical

component, but should it not function properly, please call

the dealer you purchased your dual zone wine storage unit

from for a replacement light tube. Use only an original

equipment light tube from your dealer or from Falcon.

Do NOT under any circumstance use a light tube that

exceeds 10 watts!

To replace the light tube, disconnect power to the unit.

Use a hex-head driver to remove the two hex-head screws

holding the old light tube in place. Disconnect the electri-

cal plug from the cabinet’s electrical receptacle and discard

the old light tube. Reconnect the electrical plug of the new

light tube to the cabinet’s electrical receptacle. Make sure

it is secure and fully installed.

Using the hex-head driver, resecure the two hex-head

screws to secure the light tube in place. Plug the unit into

the electrical socket. Check to see if the light tube operates

properly. Your light tube’s replacement is complete.

The light tubes are not covered by your warranty. Replace-

ment tubes can be obtained from your dealer or from

Falcon.

In the Event of a Power Failure

If a power failure occurs, try to correct it as soon as pos-

sible. Minimize the number of door openings while the

power is off so as not to adversely affect the unit’s tem-

perature.

Disposal

When you dispose of this product, do so in a way sympa-

thetic to the environment. For further information, contact

your local authority.
