How do I change the door hinge side?

The door is reversible. Consult the manual for step-by-step instructions. Typically, you need to unscrew the hinges, swap the door, and reattach. Ensure the appliance is unplugged.

Why is my wine cellar not cooling properly?

Check if the ambient temperature is within 10-38°C. Ensure ventilation slots are not blocked. Clean the condenser coil if dusty. If the problem persists, contact service.

How often should I clean the carbon filter?

The carbon filter should be replaced every 6-12 months for optimal performance. It helps reduce odors and maintain humidity.

CLASS 1 LED PRODUCT

Installation and start-up

Placement.

For safety and operational reasons, the appliance must not be installed outdoors.

The appliance should be placed on a level surface in a dry, well ventilated room (max. 75% relative air humidity). Never place the appliance close to sources of heat such as cookers or radiators, and avoid placing it in direct sunlight.

Ambient temperature.

The climate class is stated on the name-plate (see page 20). This specifies the optimum ambient temperature. Wine coolers with winter position, however, function at ambient temperatures as low as 5^ C.

Climate class	Optimum room temperature
SN +10 °C to +3	2 °C
N +16 °C to +32	°C
ST +16 °C to +38	°C
T +16 °C to +43	°C

Installation

The surface on which the appliance is to be placed must be level. Do not use a frame or similar.

The appliance can be installed as a free-standing unit against a wall, built into a kitchen element, or lined up with other appliances (fig 4)

Levelling the appliance

It is important that the appliance be absolutely level. It can be levelled in the following way (fig 2):

1. Level the appliance sideways by screwing the adjustable feet up or down using the accompanying spanner.
2. Check that the appliance is absolutely level.

If the appliance is to be placed on a soft surface, e.g. floorboards or a carpet, it is best to recheck whether the appliance is still level after a period of time as the underlying surface may give under the weight of the appliance.

Fault finding

Fault Possible cause	Remedy
The control lamp is not lit.	The appliance is switched off. Power failure; the fuse is blown; the appliance is not plugged in correctly.	Press the on/off switch. Check that power is connected. Reset the fuse.
Water collects on the shelves.	The defrost water drain is blocked.	Clean the defrost water channel and the drain hole on the rear wall of the cabinet.
Vibration or bothersome noise.	The appliance is not level. The appliance is resting against other elements.	Level the appliance using a spirit level. Move the appliance away from other elements or appliances it is in contact with.
Compressor runs continuously.	Temperature setting too low. High room temperature.	Raise the temperature setting. Ensure adequate ventilation.
Temperature in cabi-net too high.	Temperature setting too high. The cabinet has recently been filled with unchilled bottles.	Lower the temperature setting. Distribute items within the cabi-net to improve air circulation.
Ice formation on evaporator.	Door is open. Close the door

Defrosting, cleaning and maintenance

Automatic defrosting.

The appliance is defrosted automatically. Defrost water runs through a pipe and is collected in a tray above the compressor where the heat generated by the compressor causes it to evaporate.

Cleaning.

Switch off the appliance by pressing the on/off button before cleaning it inside.

The cabinet is best cleaned using warm water (max. 65°C) with a little mild detergent. Never use cleaning agents that scour. Use a soft cloth. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly. It is important to prevent water from entering the control panel.

The defrost water channel, in which condensation from the evaporator runs, is located on the rear wall of the cabinet and must be kept clean. Add a few drops of disinfectant, e.g. Rodalon, to the defrost water drain a couple of times a year, and clean the drain using a pipe cleaner or similar. Never use sharp or pointed implements.

The sealing strip around the door must be cleaned regularly to prevent discolouration and prolong service life. Use clean water. After cleaning the sealing strip, check that it continues to provide a tight seal.

Dust collecting on the compressor and in the compressor compartment is best removed using a vacuum cleaner.

Warranty, spare parts and service

Warranty disclaimer

Faults and damage caused directly or indirectly by incorrect operation, misuse, insufficient maintenance, incorrect building, installation or mains connection. Fire, accident, lightening, voltage variation or other electrical interference, including defective fuses or faults in mains installations.

Repairs performed by others than approved service centres and any other faults and damage that the manufacturer can substantiate are caused by reasons other than manufacturing or material faults are not covered by the warranty.

Please note that changes to the construction of the appliance or changes to the component equipment of the appliance will invalidate warranty and product liability, and the appliance cannot be used lawfully. The approval stated on rating plate will also be invalidated.

Transport damage discovered by the buyer is primarily a matter to be settled between the buyer and the distributor, i.e. the distributor must ensure that such complaints are resolved to the buyer's satisfaction.

Before calling for technical assistance, please check whether you are able to rectify the fault yourself. If your request for assistance is unwarranted, e.g. if the appliance has failed as a result of a blown fuse or incorrect operation, you will be charged the costs incurred by your call for technical assistance.
