Operating Instructions Wine Cooler Page 14

Many thanks for your trust. Congratulations on your purchase of this wine cooler. 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 cooler — 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. À 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 fac- tors: 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 cooler offers the best conditions for this.

The wine cooler G Wines only develop their full flavour and aroma when they are at the right tempera- ture for drinking. In your wine cooler, wines can be brought slowly and evenly to the ideal drinking temperature. Red wines and white wines can be stored at the same time at the optimal drinking temperature in two separately adjustable temperature zones.

Setting up + Avoid locating the appliance 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 ad- justing the adjustable feet. + Standard EN 378 specifies that the room in which you install your appliance must have a volume of 1 m° per 8 g 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 toits climate rating. These temperature limits should not be exceeded. The correct climate rating for your appliance is indicated on the type plate. SN = +10°C to +32°C SN -ST = +10°C to +38°C Electrical requirement Power supply (AC) and voltage at the operating point must comply with the details on the type plate. The type plate is located on the top left-hand side on the inside of the appliance. 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. Dimensions Saving energy Always ensure good ventilation. Do not cover ventilation openings or grille. Always keep fan louvres clear. Do not place appliance in areas of direct sunlight or next to a stove, heater or similar object. The energy consumption depends on the in- stallation conditions, e.g. the ambient tempe- rature. Keep the time the appliance is open to a minimum. To compensate for any unevenness, adjust the height of the feet with the open-ended wrench supplied.

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

Air exchange with activated carbon filter 6 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. For this reason, an activated charcoal filter is fitted in the interior rear wall of both the upper and lower compartments. We recommend that you replace the , filter once a year. Filters can be ob- tained 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 SNS handle in a vertical position. Turn it Bb = 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 com- pressor heat. Cleaning Before cleaning always switch off the appliance. Pull out the mains plug or remove/ unscrew the fuse. 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. + Ifthe motor compartment becomes dusty, it should be cleaned. To do this, remove the bottom ventilation plate as follows: 1 Remove the cover caps and screws. 2 Loosen (but do not remove) the left-hand screw on the hinge bracket. 3 Remove the cover panel. 4 Remove the ventilation plate to the left. The motor compartment can then be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner. After cleaning, replace the ventilation plate. Make sure you re-tighten the screw 2 on the hinge bracket properly.
