Many thanks for your trust.

Congratulations on your purchase of this wine storage refrigerator. In buying this product, which is distinguished by its perfect user-friendliness, impeccable reliability and high quality, you have chosen a top class appliance. We wish you a lot of pleasure with your new wine storage refrigerator – and a lot of enjoyment from your wines.

The fewer the grapes produced in an area, the better the wine.

Poor, well-drained soils are best for good wines. The properties of the soil influence the vitality of the vine, which in turn affects the quality of the grape. Climate is another factor that is important for wine. Because light and air humidity are important for the development of the flavour of the wine.

The right environment for your wines.

A vine is an extremely sensitive plant. From the time it is planted to its maturing period and the time the grapes are harvested and the wine is made, it is dependent on three factors: light, air humidity and ambient temperature. This sensitivity continues even once the wine is bottled. To allow the flavour of the wine to fully develop or to preserve the excellent aroma, the wine has to be stored perfectly – and your wine storage refrigerator offers the best conditions for this.

Description of appliance and equipment

Setting up

• Avoid locating it in direct sunlight or near heat sources such as an oven or a radiator.
• The floor should be level and even. You can compensate for an uneven floor by adjusting the adjustable feet.
• Please make sure the appliance is properly ventilated.
• 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.
• 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.

If F1 appears in the display, the appliance has a fault. Consult your nearest customer service point.

Fan switch

Thereby a climate which corresponds to that of a wine cellar is achieved inside the wine cooler. Corks are prevented from drying out due to an increased level of humidity.

To switch on:

Hold down the Alarm button and then press the Light button. The LED will come on.

To switch off:

Hold down the Alarm button and then press the Light button. The LED goes dark.

Additional functions

In set-up mode you can set the child-proof lock and adjust the brightness of the display. The child-proof lock is designed to protect the appliance from being switched off accidentally by children.

Activating set-up mode:

• Press Light button for approx. 5 secs - the Light button flashes - the display shows c for child-proof lock. Note: the value to be altered flashes.

• Select the required function by pressing the Up/Down button:

c = child-proof lock, h = brightness of the display

• Now select/acknowledge function by pressing Light button briefly:

For c = child-proof lock, press the Up/Down button to select c1 = child-proof lock on or c0 = child-proof lock off and acknowledge with the Light button. When the symbol is lit, the child-proof lock is activated.

For h = brightness, press Up/Down button to select h1= minimum to h5 = maximum brightness and acknowledge with Light button.

Exit set-up mode:

• Exit the set-up mode by pressing the On/Off button; after 2 min. the electronic system switches over automatically. The normal operating mode is activated again.

Audible warning signal

The audible warning signal helps to protect your wines against excessive temperature fluctuations.

• It sounds when the door has been left open for longer than about 60 seconds. The audible warning device is switched off by pressing the Alarm button.
• It sounds when the interior gets too warm or too cold. The temperature display will also flash. The audible warning device is switched off by

pressing the Alarm button. The temperature display will continue to flash

until the cause of the alarm has been rectified.

Equipment

Labels

The appliance is supplied with a label holder with labels for each shelf. Use these to label the type of wine stored on each shelf. Additional labels can be obtained from your dealer.

Installation: Click the label holder into place and slide the label in from the side.

Lock

If required, the enclosed lock can be fitted.

Locking the appliance:

• 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.

Air exchange with activated carbon 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. An activated carbon filter has been fitted in the lower area of the rear wall of the appliance to ensure that the air throughput remains at an optimum quality.

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.

Defrosting

The appliance defrosts automatically. The water that forms on the rear wall drains into a reservoir at the back of the appliance and evaporates automatically through the compressor heat.

Cleaning

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

Never use abrasive or acidic cleaning agents or chemical solvents. We recommend the use of an all-purpose cleaner with neutral pH.

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

• Do not use abrasive sponges or scourers, do not use concentrated cleaning agents and never use cleaning agents containing sand, chloride or acid or chemical solvents, as these would damage the surfaces and could cause corrosion.
• Use a glass cleaner to clean the glass surfaces and a commercially available stainless-steel cleaning agent for the stainless-steel surfaces.
• Clean the inside and equipment with lukewarm water and a little detergent, with the exception of the wooden trims on the grid shelves.
• Ensure that no cleaning water penetrates into the electrical components.
• Dry all parts well with a cloth.
• Do not remove the type plate from the inside of the appliance; it is important for after-sales servicing.

Malfunctions

Your appliance is designed and manufactured for a lengthy, reliable operating life with no malfunctions. If a malfunction nonetheless occurs during operation, check whether it is due to an operating error. Please note that even during the warranty period the resultant servicing costs in this case will have to be borne by the owner.

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

• Appliance does not function:
• Check that the appliance is properly connected to the mains.
• Is the socket fuse intact?
• Loud running noise:
• Check that the appliance is standing firmly on the ground. Please note that it is impossible to avoid flowing noises in the refrigeration circuit.
• The temperature inside your wine storage refrigerator is too warm: Check the setting in accordance with the section Storing wine.
• Does the separately installed thermometer show the correct reading?
• Is the air extraction working properly?
• Is the wine storage refrigerator too close to a heat source?
• Please note that, as can happen with other forms of storage, slight mould may form depending on the type of adhesive on the labels. This can be rectified by carefully

cleaning any adhesive residues off the bottles.

If none of the above causes apply and you cannot rectify the fault yourself, contact the nearest customer service department stating the type ① of appliance, index ② and appliance number ③ as indicated on the type plate.

The type plate is located on the left-hand inside wall.
