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 temperatu re display (The temperature can be set between +6°C an d +15°C.) "+" raises the temperatu re. "-" lowers the temperature.

Once set, the temperature display shows the current temperature inside the cabinet.8 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. Temperature inside the wine cooler NOTE: The picture shows the coldest and warmest places inside the fridge. (+ warm, - cold)

Wine Placement Storage tips The amount of time to store wine depends on its maturity, type of grape, alcohol content, and dissolved fruc- tose 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. Accord- ingly, 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 usedtostorewinethatistobeserved cold. In the upper part of the cooler. In the upperpart,storewinethatyouwishto let further mature, wines that are served at a warmer temperature, and those wines you in tend 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 n ot agitated. Heed an y advice and recommenda- tions given at the time of purchase or in the professional literature concer n - ing 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 +12to+16°C - for champagne an d sparkling wines +6 to +8°C If you stack several bottles on top of one another, make sure they do not tou ch the cabinet's cooling plate.9 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 pr oducts. Do not place the thermometer hanging or lying directly on the shelf. Switching off Switch off the cabinet by pressing 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 au dible 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 an gle. 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. HINT 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.

• Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods, or opening the door too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet, and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.

• Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the door from closing properly.

• It is advisable to periodically clean the refrigeration system at the back of the appliance with a duster or vacuum cleaner.

• Make sure the door gasket is complete and always clean.10 Food Storage

• To obtain the best r esults from your appliance, neither hot foods nor liquids which may evaporate, should be placed in the l arder compartment.

• A void buying frozen food if you can not store it straight away. The use of an insulated container is advisable. When you arrive home place the frozen food in the freezer immediately.

• Ensure that food placed in the freezer is dated an d labelled and used in date order to ensure that food is consumed at its best. Remove suspect food from you refrigerator and clean, refer to cleaning and maintenance. Protect the environment

• Han d over the cabinet packaging and discarded fridges an d freezers to a recycling station. Contact your local city office or your closest dealer for more information.

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 ch an n el is clear at all times.

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 movin g 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 rati n g of 25 W. Defrosting the wine cooler The wine cooler is defr osted automatically every time the compressor stops. Frost formation can be prevented by:

• not putting warm foodstuff inside the cabinet.

• avoiding frequently opening the door or keeping it open too long. When the appliance is not in u se Disconnect the appliance from 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.12

Make sure that the door is completely closed and that the insulating strip is complete and clean. Sound level in cabinet is too high. The refrigerating system will always produce some sounds. A pulsing sound is heard when coolant is pumped inside the cooling pipes. A ticking sound from the thermostat can be heard when the compressor switches on and off. The sound level varies depending on the operation of the cabinet. If you feel the sound level is incorrect: Make sure the pipes at the back of the cabinet do not touch each other. Carefully bend them if they do. If the cushion spacers (between the cabinet wall and pipes) come loose, put them back in place again.
