Is it normal for the CWC-3000CU to make noise during operation?

Some noise during operation is normal due to the compressor and fan. However, if you hear unusual or loud noises, check that the unit is level and positioned on a stable surface. Ensure there is sufficient clearance around the cooler for proper air circulation.

How can I improve the energy efficiency of my wine cooler?

To improve energy efficiency, place the cooler in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Ensure the door seals are clean and tight. Avoid frequent door openings and overloading the cooler. Regularly clean the condenser coils to maintain optimal performance.
