USE
Position and clean the cabinet as explained in the section "Installation". Check that the drain hose at the rear of the cabinet discharges into the drip tray.
Before inserting the power plug into the outlet and switching on the cabinet for the first time, leave it standing upright for about 2 hours. Otherwise the compressor may sustain damage. This time will allow the oil sufficient time to return to the compressor.
Control Panel
A. Wine cooler power switch Switches the wine cooler on and off.
B. Temperature display Shows the average temperature in the middle of the wine cooler.
C. Temperature adjustment buttons/thermostat Used to set the temperature.
D. Lighting
E. Alarm shut-off button Used to turn the audible alarm off.
F. Red warning lamp Flashes when the alarm in the cabinet has been triggered.
To start the wine cooler and set the correct temperature
Switching on: Switch on the wine cooler by pressing the power switch.
Setting the temperature Press the buttons until the desired temperature flashes in the temperature display. (The temperature can be set
between +6°C and +15°C.) "+" raises the temperature. "-" lowers the temperature.
Once set, the temperature display shows the current temperature inside the cabinet.
NOTE: The controllable area is limited by a room temperature of 17°C or below.
Allow the cabinet to run for a period of 24 hours whenever the temperature setting is changed. This will allow the temperature to stabilise inside the cabinet.
It is not necessary to reset the temperature when the cabinet is switched on after it has been out of use. The thermostat recalls the previously set temperature.

Wine Placement Storage tips
The amount of time to store wine depends on its maturity, type of grape, alcohol content, and dissolved fructose and tannins. When purchasing your wine, find out whether it is mature or if it will improve over time.
In the lower part of the cooler. Cold air prolongs the time to maturity. Accordingly, store old and mature wine as well as wine you would like to store for a long time in the lower portion of the cooler. The lower part should also be used to store wine that is to be served cold.
In the upper part of the cooler. In the upper part, store wine that you want to let mature further, wines that are served at a warmer temperature, and those wines you intend to consume relatively soon.
Store the bottles lying down so that the corks do not dry out.
Store the wine in the dark. The cooler doors are made with double-paned glass with a dark coating. This will protect the wine against light damage if the cooler is placed in a well-lit area.
Avoid turning on the light in the cooler too often or for too long. The wine should be stored in the dark.
Handle the bottles with care, so that the wine is not agitated.
Heed any advice and recommendations given at the time of purchase or in the professional literature concerning the wine's quality, durability and optimal storage temperature.
Recommended storage temperatures:
- For white wines: +10 to +12°C - For rosé wines and light red wines: +12 to +16°C - For champagne and sparkling wines: +6 to +8°C
If you stack several bottles on top of one another, make sure they don't touch the cabinet's cooling plate.
Measuring the temperature
If the temperature is measured using a standard, single thermometer, this should be put in a glass of water centrally placed inside the cabinet. This will reflect the temperature inside the food products. Do not place the thermometer hanging directly on the shelf.
Switching off
Switch off the cabinet by passing the power switch.
Keep the button pressed for approx. 1 second.
Power to the cabinet is completely interrupted only when the power plug is disconnected.
Alarms and other features
Door open alarm
If the fridge door remains open for more than 5 minutes, the red warning lamp starts flashing and an audible alarm sounds.
To switch off the alarm:
Press the "alarm shut-off button". The red warning lamp goes out when the door is closed.
Lighting
The cooler lighting may be turned on with the door closed. This makes it
easy to survey the contents of the cooler without opening the door. The cooler lighting should normally be off, so that the wine is not unduly exposed to light. The lighting turns off automatically after about 5 minutes.
Cabinet interior
The shelves may be placed flat or at an angle.
Angle the shelf by placing the front pegs in a lower set of tracks. You can store already opened bottles on the shelf in this position.
HINTS AND TIPS
Saving energy
- Pay careful attention to where the cabinet is placed. See the section "Installation". When installed correctly, the cabinet will consume less energy.

MAINTENANCE and CLEANING
Removing the ventilation grille
The ventilation grille can be removed, e.g. to wash the grille.
Make sure the door is open when removing the ventilation grille. Unsnap the upper edge of the grille by pulling outward/downward. Then pull the grille straight out to completely remove it.
Cleaning
Clean the cabinet at regular intervals. Disconnect the appliance from electricity supply.
Clean out the drip channel inside the wine cooler at regular intervals and ensure that the drip channel is clear at all times. If blocked, carefully clear using a piece of flexible curtain wire inserted into the drain outlet to remove the blockage.
Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0.5 litre water). Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are clean and free from debris.
Clean off the interior wooden details with a moist rag and mild kitchen soap. Do not soak the wood.
Drawer.
Pull out drawer.
Lift it over the locks in back on the sliding guides. Tip drawer downwards and pull it out.
Clean.
Assemble in reverse order.
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. Remove the ventilation grille (see the section "Removing the ventilation grille") and vacuum-clean under the cabinet. Once or twice a year dust the condenser (black grille) and the compressor at the back of the appliance, with a brush or vacuum cleaner, as an accumulation of dust will affect the performance of the appliance and cause excessive electricity consumption.
When moving the cabinet, lift it by the front edge to avoid scratching the floor.
To change the lamp
Before replacing the light bulb, disconnect the power plug from the outlet.
Fold the grille backward by unsnapping the front edge.
Use a bulb of the same type, E14 socket, maximum rating of 25W.
Defrosting the wine cooler
The wine cooler is defrosted automatically every time the compressor stops. Frost formation can be prevented by:
· not putting warm foodstuff inside the cabinet.
Avoid frequently opening the door or keeping it open too long.
When the appliance is not in use
Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply.
If the cabinet is to be kept on, ask somebody to check it once in a while to prevent the food inside from spoiling in case of a power failure.
Empty all foods and clean the appliance, leaving the doors ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.
