Operating Your Refrigerator  
Set the Control  
Defrosting  
The total available temperature range of the unit is from  
33°F to 45°F. The temperature can be lowered or raised by  
turning the control clockwise or counterclockwise,  
respectively. As with any refrigeration product, there is a  
slight temperature variance at different locations within the  
cabinet. To start your appliance, use a screwdriver to turn  
the control clockwise to the middle thermostat setting.  
Once the bottles are loaded, allow at least 48 hours for the  
unit to stabilize before making any adjustments to the  
initial setting.  
Your refrigerator automatically defrost its cooling plate  
during each compressor off cycle. No manual defrosting is  
required.  
We recommend you place a small thermometer inside the  
refrigerator that can be monitored easily when the door is  
opened.. This will help you establish the cabinet interior  
temperature you wish to store your wine collection at.

Cleaning and Maintaining Your Refrigerator  
Carefully realign the light tube’s electrical terminals back  
into the rear of the light enclosure channel making sure  
not to crimp them. Gently insert the light tube along the  
length of the light enclosure channel. Press the light tube  
gently into the light enclosure channel. Only a small part of  
the light tube should project below the ceiling of the  
refrigerator. DO NOT USE A HAMMER TO FIT THE LIGHT  
TUBE.  
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 nothing  
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 grille. Also 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.  
Place the light tube terminal cover plate back in its original  
position on the light enclosure’s flange. Re-use the original  
two screws to secure it in place. Plug the refrigerator into  
the electrical socket. Check to see if the light tubes operate  
properly. Your light tube’s replacement is complete.  
Cabinet  
The painted cabinet can be washed with mild soap and  
water and thoroughly rinsed with clear water. Never use  
abrasive scouring powders.  
The light tubes are not covered by your guarantee.  
Replacement tubes can be obtained from your service  
provider or from Aga Appliances.  
Interior  
Wash interior compartment with mild soap and water. Do  
not use an abrasive powder, solvent, polish cleaner or  
undiluted detergent.  
Door Gasket  
The vinyl gasket may be cleaned with mild soap and water,  
a baking soda solution or a mild scouring powder.  
Light Tube Replacement  
WARNING! DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD BEFORE  
ATTEMPTING LIGHT TUBE REPLACEMENT. Failure to do  
so may result in an electrical shock that could severely  
injure you.  
Light Tube  
Connectors  
This product uses two, 6 watt light tubes to illuminate the  
interior of the refrigerator. The light tubes are very reliable  
electrical components, but should either or both light  
tubes not function properly, please call the dealer you  
purchased your refrigerator from for replacement light  
tubes. Use only original equipment light tubes from your  
dealer or manufacturer.  
Cover Plate  
Screws  
Light tube replacement consists of using a small cross head  
screwdriver to remove the two screws that hold a cover  
plate over the back section of the light tube. Set the screws  
and cover plate aside for re-assembly later.  
Using a small flat-blade screwdriver, gently lever the front  
section of the light tube down to allow it to be pulled  
clear of the light housing.  
Disconnect the two insulated electrical connectors from  
the cabinet’s electrical cable and discard the old light tube.  
Reconnect the insulated electrical connector of the new  
light tube to the cabinet’s electrical cable connectors.  
Make sure they are secure and fully inserted.

Troubleshooting  
In the Event of a Power Failure  
Most power failures are corrected within two hours and  
will not affect the unit’s temperature providing you  
minimize the number of door openings while the power is  
off. If it is extremely hot and power remains off for an  
extended period of time you may want to move the  
contents of your refrigerator to a cooler place until power  
is restored.  
What to Do If You Need Service  
Before calling for service, check the trouble shooting table.  
This table lists possible problems that you can remedy  
without difficulty to avoid an unnecessary service call.
