nding the wine cellar and may result in shock hazard.

or heated e.g. garage etc. Your wine cellar was not designed to

operate in ambient temperature below 16°C.

• Select a suitable location for the wine cellar on a hard even surface

away from direct sunlight or heat source e.g. radiators, under floor

heaters, cooking appliances etc. Any floor unevenness should

e corrected with the leveling feet located on

bottom corners of the wine cellar.

• Your wine cellar is designed for free-standing installation only. It is

not designed for built-in application.

Wine Cellar Features And Use

Note: You can add water to the tray to increase the humidity inside

the wine cellar. Some degree of humidity is required in order to keep

wines with corks from drying out. Even when wine bottles are stored

on their sides, one end of the cork is still exposed to air. If the cork

begins to dry out, it can allow oxygen to enter the bottle, filling the u-

llage space and possibly causing the wine to spoil or oxidize. Exces-

sive humidity can also pose the risk of damaging wine labels, which

may hinder identification or hurt potential resale value.6

• The shelves are designed for appearance and easy cleaning.

Larger bottles or Magnums can be more easily accommodated at

the cross shelves at the bottom of the cellar.

• There are some shelves for easy storage and removal of your

light will go off.(Except WS30GA/WS30GAE/WS32GAE/WS33GAE)

Normal Operating Sounds You May Hear

baking soda mixed with warm water. Use sponge or

soft cloth, dampened with the cleaning solution, to

wipe down your wine cellar.

• Rinse with clean warm water and dry with a soft cloth.

• Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasives, ammonia,

chlorine bleach, concentrated detergents, solvents or

metal scouring pads. Some of these chemicals may

dissolve, damage and/or discolor your wine cellar.

the wine cellar and door gaskets according to "General cleaning"

section. Leave doors open, so air can circulate inside.
