Cabinet exterior sides feel very hot to the touch during operation.

Safety: Unplug the unit before moving or cleaning it.

Steps:

• Improve ventilation: Ensure the Auseo wine cooler has the recommended clearance on all sides and is not built into a tight cabinet unless it is a built-in model with front ventilation.
• Clean condenser: Remove the rear panel and clean the condenser coil and fan.
• Check ambient temperature: Move the cooler to a cooler room if it is currently in a very hot environment.

Note: Some warmth on the sides is normal, but surfaces should not be too hot to touch comfortably.
