Loading The indicated maximum numbers of bottles which can be stored are only reference numbers to give you an idea of how many bottles the appliance can hold (the same as the capacity in litres for refrigerators). The numbers were ascertained in tests carried out with a sample bottle: the bottle for "Bordeaux light 75 cl" (the standard shows the geographic origin for each bottle shape - Bordeaux, Burgundy, Provence, etc. - and a type - traditional, heavy, light, flute, etc. - each with its own specific diameter and height). Theoretically, in an extreme case, more bottles could be stored by stacking a single type of bottle without shelves, but a “varied” collection of wines is made up of a large variety of bottles and the practical handling of such a collection limits the number of bottles stored in the wine refrigerator. You will probably store fewer bottles than the maximum number indicated. Bottle types Here you see different 75-cl bottles of Burgundy and Bordeaux wine with different dimensions. There are of course many other shapes and contents. There are different methods for storing the bottles depending on the height, diameter and method of mixing the bottles. For example, if you only fill the wine refrigerator with Burgundy wine, you will remain below the quantity calculated for Bordeaux wine by about 30

Crossed arrangement Top down, neck on neck: pay attention to the difference in depth!

Top down, neck between the bottle bodies: more loading capacity

Opinions may vary and the ambient temperatures are different, but the following generally apply:

• Only store sealed bottles.

• Do not overload the appliance.

• Do not open the door more often than absolutely necessary.

• Do not cover the shelves with aluminium foil or any other material which may prevent air from circulating. Loading EN20 Storing the wine refrigerator Leave the settings as they are if you do not use your wine refrigerator for some time. If the refrigerator is not used for some time:

• Remove all the bottles from the wine refrigerator.

• Pull the plug out of the socket.

• Clean the interior and exterior of the appliance thoroughly.

• Leave the door open to prevent condensate, odours and mildew from developing. The surrounding temperature must be in the range of +16°C and + 38 °C. The performance of the wine refrigerator may be impaired if these surrounding temperatures exceed this temperature range. Please note When you use the appliance for the first time or put it into operation again after not using it for a long time, the selected temperature and the temperature indicated on the display may differ. This is completely normal and it is due to the operation time until the response time is reached. After a few hours of operation the two temperatures will be the same. You will need to wait at least three minutes before restarting the appliance after its has been disconnected from the power supply or after a short circuit. The appliance will not switch on if you attempt to restart it before this time has lapsed. The control panel

Left: upper compartment Right: lower compartment

Switching on the appliance To switch the appliance on or off, press the key for at least 5 seconds. Interior lighting To switch the LED interior lighting on and off. Plus and minus keys To increase the temperature by 1°C each time a key is pressed. To decrease the temperature by 1°C each time a key is pressed.

Setting the temperature control

The unit has two separate temperature zones. The temperature of both zones can be set between 5ºC and 22ºC (41ºF and 72ºF). The lower temperature zone is ideal for storing white and red wine at a setting of 13°C to 22°C (55°F to 72°F). The upper temperature zone is suitable for storing champagne and white wine at a setting of 5°C to 13°C (41°F to 55°F).

When the unit is plugged in for the first time, the unit will power up automatically to the preset defaults. The preset temperature at the factory for UPPER temperature zone is 10ºC (50ºF) and for LOWER temperature zone is 16ºC (60ºF).

You can press the left side plus and minus keys to control the internal temperature of the UPPER temperature zone and press the right side plus and minus keys to control the internal temperature of the LOWER/RIGHT temperature zone. When you press either key at the first time, the display will show the last temperature set previously.

IMPORTANT: The temperature set for the LOWER temperature zone must always be just as high as or higher than that in the UPPER temperature zone. For optimal performance, the set temperature of the two zones should differ by at least 4°C (7F°) (For example 8°C and 12°C).

The temperature that you desire to set will increase 1ºC or 1ºF if you press the plus key once, on the contrary the temperature will decrease 1ºC or 1ºF if you press the minus key. The display flashes while you make the setting.

After the temperature has been set, the display shows the current inner temperature of the particular temperature zone.

To view the set temperature at any time, press the plus or minus key, the set temperature will temporarily flash in the display for 5 seconds. Then the display shows the current inner temperature again. Temperature display ATTENTION! During normal operation, the temperature display shows the temperature inside the wine refrigerator.

Alarm of the appliance will sound when:

• A different temperature is being programmed

• The temperature in one of the zones deviates by more than 5°C from the temperature originally programmed. The display will flash only if the temperature rises or falls abnormally. Interior lighting The interior lighting can either be

• Switched on briefly: In this case the light will go on when you open the door and go off when you close the door. This is the standard mode.

• Switched on permanently: The light will remain switched on until you press the key again. Function and operation EN21

Door alarm An alarm will be triggered and the display will begin to flash if the door is not closed properly for more than 60s. The alarm will stop and the display will stop flashing as soon as the temperature that has been set is reached. However, if the noise made by the alarm is a nuisance, you can switch it off by pressing the key once. The display will continue to blink until the temperature setting has been reached, and the alarm will be automatically re- activated. ECO mode This mode can be used to switch off the temperature alarm, the display and the interior lighting for four days. The temperature inside the wine refrigerator is maintained. To activate the ECO mode, press the and keys at the same time for 5 seconds. Four signals will sound in confirmation. The wine cooler will then operate in this mode for 4 days. Low-power mode The wine cooler has been designed to store your wine safely under perfect conditions for long periods. Annoying noises may nevertheless occur in the case of ventilated cooling systems. You may select the low- power mode to stop the annoying noise made by the fan. To do so, keep the plus key pressed for 5 seconds. Three warning signals will sound to confirm that the appliance has switched to the low-power mode. Press the minus key for 5 seconds to switch off the low-power mode. Five warning signals will sound to confirm that the appliance has switched to the low-power mode. Defrosting The appliance carries out automatic defrost cycles. When the cooling cycle is finished, the refrigerated parts of the appliance are automatically defrosted. The water resulting from the defrosting is channelled into an evaporation tray on the back of the appliance close to the compressor. The heat from the compressor evaporates the water in the tray. Dual mode In dual mode, you have the option to set the same temperature for both storage compartments Proceed with the setting of the two compartments as described in "Setting the temperature control". Once both displays show the same temperature, you have the option to settle this uniform temperature synchronously over the two outer temperature selector buttons or . If you want to leave the dual mode, you can regulate the over the two inner temperature selector buttons or . Function and operation EN22

Before you clean your appliance (at regular intervals), you will need to disconnect it from the power supply (pull out the plug) or open the safety fuse. Remove all the shelves, etc. from the interior. We recommend that you clean the inside and outside (front, sides and top) of your wine refrigerator with a gentle, lukewarm detergent solution before you use it the first time and following this at regular intervals. Rinse the appliance with clear water and allow it to dry completely before you use it again. Do not use any solvents or scouring agents. Wash the shelves with a gentle detergent solution and dry them with a soft, dry cloth. You may perceive residual odours when you switch the wine refrigerator on the first time. If you do, leave the appliance to operate at the coldest operating temperature for a few hours. The cold will get rid of any odours.
