What Check Cond
actually means.

Bertazzoni asks for the toe kick cover, filter and condenser to be cleaned every six months. If the reminder was switched on in the maintenance settings, the display shows Check Cond with a sound when that time comes. The reminder is off by default.

What to do when Check Cond shows on the wine cooler

Before you book,
in this order.

Each step comes from Bertazzoni's own guidance for Check Cond on its wine coolers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Switch the column off by holding the Unit button for about 3 seconds.

02

Give the finned condenser about half an hour to reach room temperature, then take off the removable grille below the door.

03

Vacuum the condenser gently with a soft brush attachment, using gloves because the fins are sharp.

04

Restart the column with the Unit button, then touch the reset icon so the reminder returns in six months.

What not to do

Check Cond is not a cooling failure; it is a scheduled reminder. A column that runs warm even with a clean condenser needs a technician, not another cleaning.

Questions
about Check Cond.

Can I clear Check Cond myself?
Switch the column off by holding the Unit button for about 3 seconds. If it comes back, it needs a visit.
Where is the condenser on a Bertazzoni wine column?
Behind the toe kick cover at the bottom front. A vacuum with a soft brush does most of the work; for heavy dust the cover can come off.
Can I turn off the Check Cond reminder on my Bertazzoni?
Yes. It is off by default, and if someone turned it on, the Off icon in the maintenance settings disables it. The cleaning is still worth doing every six months.
Why does my Bertazzoni run for long periods?
Bertazzoni says long runs are normal in very hot weather, after long door openings or after a big load, and a dirty condenser makes them longer.

Back to your everyday

Still showing Check Cond?

When you book, copy the code or the blink pattern as the display shows it, add the whole model number, and say whether the bottles still feel cool — a code gives the technician a head start.
