Climate rating

The appliance is set to operate within specific ambient temperature limits according to its climate rating. These temperature limits should not be exceeded. The correct climate rating for your appliance is indicated on the type plate.

Climate rating Ambient temperature

SN	+10°C to +32°C
N	+16°C to +32°C
ST	+16°C to +38°C

The appliance complies with the relevant safety regulations and EC directives 2004/108/EC and 2006/95/EC.

Setting up

• Avoid positioning the appliance in direct sunlight or near cookers, radiators and similar sources of heat.
• The floor on which the appliance stands should be horizontal and level. Compensate for uneven floors with the adjustable feet.
• Always ensure that there is good ventilation and that the outward flowing air is able to escape.
• Standard EN 378 specifies that the room in which you install your appliance must have a volume of 1m^3 per 8g of R 600a refrigerant used in the appliance, so as to avoid the formation of inflammable gas/air mixtures in the room where the appliance is located in the event of a leak in the refrigerant circuit. The quantity of refrigerant used in your appliance is indicated on the type plate on the inside of the appliance.
• Do not connect the appliance to the supply with other equipment using an extension cable - risk of overheating.
• Always install the appliance directly against the wall.

Dimensions

Connecting to the mains

Power supply (a.c.) and voltage at the operating point must comply with the details on the type plate. The socket must be fused with a 10 A fuse or higher, it must be away from the rear of the appliance and must be easily accessible.

Connect the appliance with a properly earthed fused plug and socket only.

To switch off: Press the Ventilation button. The indicator lamp in the switch goes dark.

Storing wine

If you are storing wine for long periods of time, it should be stored at a temperature of between 10^ and 14^ .

This is the temperature wine cellars are kept at, and it is just right to allow wine to mature properly.

The following drinking temperatures are recommended for the various types of wine.

Red wines: +14^ C to +18^ C

Rose wines: +10^ C to +12^ C

White wines: +8^ C to +12^ C

Sparkling wines, Prosecco +7^ C to +9^ C

Champagne +5^ C to +7^ C

Caution!

The maximum load capacity of the wood racks is 80kg

Socket: E 14.

Replacing the bulb:

Pull out the mains plug or remove/unscrew the fuse.

Change the bulb behind the operating panel.

Air exchange with activated charcoal filter

The way in which wines continue to mature depends on the ambient conditions. The quality of the air is therefore decisive for preserving the wine.

We recommend that you replace the filter once a year. Filters can be obtained from your dealer.

Changing the filter:

Take the filter by the handle. Turn it 90^ to the left or right and remove.

Inserting the filter:

Insert with the handle in a vertical position. Turn it 90^ to the left or right until it clicks into place.

• Insert the key as shown by arrow 1.
• Turn the key 90^ .

To unlock the appliance, the same procedure must be repeated in the same order.

Defrosting

The appliance defrosts automatically.

Cleaning

Before cleaning always switch off the appliance. Pull out the mains plug or remove/unscrew the fuse.

• Clean the inside, equipment and outer walls with lukewarm water and a little detergent. Do not use abrasive or acid cleaners or chemical solvents.

Do not use steam cleaners because of the risk of injury and damage.

• Ensure that no cleaning water penetrates into the electrical components or ventilation grille.
• The dust should be removed from the refrigeration unit and heat exchanger - metal grid at the back of the appliance - once a year.
• Do not damage or remove the type plate on the inside of the appliance. It is very important for servicing purposes.

Malfunctions

You may be able to rectify the following faults by checking the possible causes yourself:

• Appliance does not function:
• Is the appliance switched on?
• Is the plug correctly fitted in the mains socket?
• Is the socket fuse intact?
• Loud running noise:
• Is the appliance set up firmly on the floor?
• Does the appliance cause nearby items of furniture or objects to vibrate? Ensure that the appliance is stable and that all parts at the back can vibrate freely. Please note that noises caused by the refrigerant circuit cannot be avoided.
• The temperature is not low enough:
• Is the temperature setting correct (see „Setting the temperature“)?
• Does the separately installed thermometer show the correct reading?
• Is the ventilation system working properly?
• Is the appliance set up too close to a heat source?

If none of the above causes apply and you cannot rectify the faulty yourself, contact the nearest customer service department stating the type of appliance ① , service number ② and appliance number ③ as indicated on the type plate. The type plate is located in the refrigerator compartment on the left-hand side.
