The installation location should neither be exposed to direct sunlight nor near a heat source, e.g. acooker, radiator, etc. If installation next to a heat source is unavoidable, use asuitable insulating plate or observe the following minimum distances to a heat source: 3cm to electric or gas cookers. 30 cm to an oil or solidfuel cooker. Changing over the door hinges The door hinges on this appliance cannot be changed over. Aligning the appliance Fig.2 Place the appliance in the designated location and align. The front screw feet can be adjusted. en17 Note ambient temperature and ventilation The climatic class can be found on the rating plate. It specifies the ambient temperatur es at which the appliance may be operated. Climatic category Permitted ambient temperature N +16 °C to 32 °C ST +16 °C to 38 °C T +16 °C to 43 °C

Attention The room temperature must not drop below +16°C. Otherwise the refrigerator compartment will become too cold and perishable items may be damaged. Ventilation Fig.3 The heated air on the side panels of the appliance must be able to escape freely. Otherwise, the refrigerating unit must work harder and the power consumption is increased. For this appliance there must be a 4 cm gap between the wall and adjacent furniture. This distance is also required so that the door can be opened by at least 90°. Connecting theappliance After installing the appliance, wait at least 1hour until the appliance starts up. During transportation the oil in the compressor may have flowed into the refrigeration system. Before switching on the appliance for thefirst time, clean the interior of the appliance (seechapter Cleaning). The socket must be close to the appliance and must be freely accessible even after the appliance has been installed. Connect the appliance only to 220240V/50Hz alternating current via acorrectly installed earthed socket. Thesocket must be fused with a 10A to16 A fuse. If the appliance is to be operated in anonEuropean country, check on therating plate whether the indicated voltage and current type correspond tothe values of your mains supply. Therating plate is situated in the bottom lefthand side of the appliance. Thepower cord may be replaced by atechnician only. ! Warning Never connect the appliance to electronic energy saver plugs or to power inverters which convert the direct current to 230V alternating current (e.g. solar equipment, power supplies on ships). en18 Switching on the appliance Press the On/Off button Fig.1/1. Theappliance starts refrigerating. Interiorlight is switched on when the dooris open. At the factory the appliance has been set to the mi ddle setting (3) Operating tips While the refrigerating unit is running, beads of water or hoarfrost form at the back of the refrigerator compartment. Thisis quite normal. It is not necessary to scrape off the frost or wipe off the beads of water. The rear panel defrosts automatically. The condensation collects in the drainage channel Fig.4 and is conveyed to the refrigerating unit where itevaporates. Selecting the temperature The temperature can be set from 1−5. Press button Fig.1/6 for 3seconds until display flashes. Then keep pressing the button until the required setting is displayed. The last setting is saved. Setting 1, low cooling capacity. Setting 5, maximum cooling capacity At a setting of 3 a refrigerator compartment temperature of +8°C to +12°C is reached depending on the ambient temperature and load. Refrigerating capacity The temperature in the refrigerator compartment may rise temporarily if loaded with fairly large amounts of food. Placing bottles in the refrigerator Note when loading products: S Depending on the model, a max. number of bottles can be stored on thebottle shelves, see loading example, Figs.9and0. This number of bottles can be stored ifthe bottles are placed with their necks facing forwards. S To ensure good air circulation in the appliance, the bottles should not be stored opposite each other or touch therear panel of the refrigerator compartment. S The indicated number of bottles may vary depending on the shape and size of the bottles. S The area at the bottom is not very deep on account of the motor compartment. Drinks cans or short wine bottles can bestored. For presentation purposes it is also possible to store the wine bottles upright, Fig.5. Usable capacity Information on the usable capacity can be found inside your appliance on the rating plate. en19 Use temperature zones in the refrigerator compartment! The air circulation in the appliance produces different refrigeration zones: The warmest zone is at the top. The coldest zone is at the bottom. Arrange drinks Store different types of wine from top tobottom according to the following sequence: S Haevy red wines S Rosé and light red wines S White wine S Champagne and sparkling wines It is recommended to serve the wine a few degrees colder than the required drinking temperature, as the wine warms up quickly when poured into glasses. Practical tips for storing wine S Unpack bottles of wine do not leave incrates or cardboard boxes before storing in the refrigerator compartment. S Place old bottles so that the cork

always wet. There should never beanair gap between the wine and thecork. S The open bottle shelves are especially suitable because they do not interrupt the air circulation. As a result, the atmospheric humidity which condenses on the bottles quickly dries again. S Before the wine is drunk, it should be “warmed up” (chambré): Place e.g. rosé wine on the table approx. 2−5 hours before drinking, redwine 4−5 hours before drinking. Thewine will then be at the correct drinking temperature. Sparkling wine and Champagne should be cooled inthe refrigerator shortly before drinking. S Remember that wine should always becooled slightly lower than the ideal serving temperature, as its temperature increases by 1 to 2 °C assoon as it is poured into a glass! en20 Drinking temperatures The correct serving temperature is crucial for the taste and therefore your enjoyment of the wine. We recommend serving wine at the following drinking temperatures: Type of wine Drinking tempera ture Bordeaux red 18ºC Côtes du Rhône red/Barolo 17ºC Burgundy red/ Bordeaux red 16ºC Port 15ºC Young Burgundy red 14ºC Young red wine 12ºC Young Beaujolais/ all white wines with little residual sugar 11ºC Old white wines/ Chardonnay 10ºC Sherry 9ºC Young white wines from late vintage 8ºC White wines Loire/ EntredeuxMers 7ºC Switching off and disconnecting the appliance Switching off the appliance Press the On/Off button Fig.1/1.
