Appliance Equipment Appliance overview

Feet Delivery scope 2x bottle rack, 1x door handle incl. mounting material Installation Conditions for the installation location Good ventilation is required around the appliance to dissipate the heat properly and to guarantee ef- ficient cooling operation at low power consump- tion. Enough clearance is necessary. - Gap to the back approx. 50～70 mm, to the side walls and above the device each approx. min. 100 mm; - Place the appliance so that the appliance door can open without being impeded. Only install at a location with an ambient tempera- ture suitable for the climate class of the appliance. The climate class can be found under "Technical Data" and on the rating label located in the interior or on the appliance rear. Place the appliance on a steady and safe surface. If the appliance is not horizontally leveled, adjust the feet accordingly.

Avoid the installation: - near heaters, next to a stove, direct sunlight or any other heat sources; - at locations with high humidity (e.g. outdoors, bathroom), as metal parts would be suscepti- ble to corrosion under such circumstances; - near volatile or flammable materials (e.g. gas, fuel, alcohol, paint, etc.), in rooms which may have poor air circulation (e.g. garages). - Do not expose the appliance any weather. Assembly of the door handle

Screws incl. washers Open the appliance door and slightly remove the door rubber seal on the inner door frame. Note the holes underneath for the positioning of the door handle. Fasten the handle with the enclosed screws incl. washers and bring the door rubber seal back to its original position.35 Electrical connection

The installation to the mains supply must conform to the local standards and regulations. Improper connection may cause to an electric shock

Do not modify the appliance plug. If the plug does not fit properly to the outlet, let install a proper outlet by an authorized specialist. The accessibility of the power plug must be en- sured to disconnect the appliance from the power supply in case of emergency. Make sure that the voltage supply matches the specifications on the rating label before connect- ing. Connect the mains cable to a properly installed and earthed wall outlet. If the plug after installation is not accessible, a corresponding disconnect device must be availa- ble to meet the relevant safety regulations. Startup / Operation Prior to first use CAUTION: After transport, the appliance should be left standing upright for approx. four hours before connecting to the power supply. Nonobservance could lead to mal- function of the cooling system and causes an appli- ance breakdown. Clean the appliance interior including all accessory parts. Consider the instructions which we provide in the chapter “Cleaning and Maintenance”

Starting the appliance Connect the appliance to the power supply. Set the desired indoor temperature. Read the following sections. Operation overview

Switch interior lighting on and off

Increase temperature stepwise by 1°C (1°F)

Decrease temperature stepwise by 1°C (1°F) 3+4

Switch display between °C and °F Press the button (2) to switch the interior lighting off and on again. The indoor lighting will turn off automatically after about 10 minutes, saving energy. Use the buttons (3) and (4) to set the interior tem- perature. The display (1) shows the selection. A few seconds after the last button press, the temperature display will automatically change to the actual temperature value currently in the ap- pliance. The next time the button is pressed, the display will first show the last set temperature value. By pressing the button combination (3+4) , you can change the temperature display to Fahrenheit or Celsius. Settings The temperature value is adjustable between: +11°C to +18°C (+52°F to +65°F) The reachable value cannot be higher than the am- bient temperature at the place of installation. During initial startup, longer standstill of the device or temperature adjustment, there may be a deviation of a few degrees between the temperature you have selected and the temperature shown on the display.36 It takes some time until the desired temperature has been set. Basically, the temperature changes depending on the ambient temperature (place of installation), the fre- quency of opening the door and the equipment. Storage The appliance is exclusively suitable for cooling and storing drinks. Model dependent: Several storage levels for inserting the grid shelves, allows individual storage. Depend- ing on requirements, the shelves can be (partially and depending on model) adjusted in height or re- moved to optimize the storage space

Store the bottles horizontally with the opening facing forward. NOTE: For the most efficient use of energy, place all shelves in their original position. Capacity The number of bottles that can be placed in the ap- pliance varies depending on the size and shape of the bottles.

The maximum number of bottles that can be stored is based on standard 0.75 liter bottles: max. 6 bottles x 0.75 liter. General storage recommendations for wine Type of wine Temp. °C Temp. °F Red wine 15 – 18°C 58 – 65°F White wine 9 – 14°C 48 – 57°F Sparkling wine / champagne 4 – 8°C 39 – 47°F The most important thing when storing wine is that the storage temperature remains continuous- ly stable. Vibrations, temperature variations, light exposure and humidity are factors that can cause wine to tip over. Wine that is stored at a higher temperature ma- tures faster. Wines which are stored at more than 18°C lose their flavor and aroma. If wine is stored at too low a temperature, this can lead to the development of residues that are harmful to health. An air humidity of 60% - 70% is ideal to prevent corks from shrinking. After a wine bottle has been opened, the wine comes into contact with air. It is therefore recom- mended to store the rest of the wine upright in the bottle to minimize the surface area that comes in- to contact with air. Once a wine bottle has been opened, white wines can be drunk for another 2 days and red wines for another 3 days if the bottle has been closed. Special stoppers, which keep wine and cham- pagne fresh, can be purchased in most wine shops. If white wine is stored correctly, it can be kept for up to 2 years. Full-bodied red wines can be stored for up to 10 years and dessert wines for up to 20 years. Operating noise Type of sound Cause Liquid sounds Circulation of the refrigerant Disturbing noises Vibration of the shelves or cool- ing coils37 Switching off To switch off the appliance disconnect the appliance from the power supply. If the appliance is out of use for long periods: Remove the appliance content. Defrost (model dependent) and clean the appli- ance thoroughly (see ”Cleaning and Mainte- nance”

Leave open the appliance door to avoid formation of mold and unpleased odor. Tips for Energy saving Disconnect the appliance from the power supply if it isn’t in use. Do not install the appliance near stoves, heaters or other heat sources. In case of higher ambient temperatures, the appliance will run more fre- quently and longer. Ensure enough ventilation at the bottom and rear side. Never block ventilation openings. Place all shelves, racks or drawers (depending on the model) in their original position. Adjust the temperature not colder than necessary. Open the unit door only as necessary. Defrost the unit regularly (model dependent). Switch on the lighting only if necessary. The seal of the appliance door must be complete- ly intact, so that the door closes properly. Cleaning and Maintenance

Always disconnect the appliance from the power supply before cleaning and user maintenance. Do not use steam cleaners for cleaning the appli- ance; moisture could enter electrical components. Risk of electric shock! Hot steam could damage the plastic parts. The unit must be dry before restarting operation. CAUTION: Do not use a wire brush or other sharp, abrasive items. Do not use any acidic or abrasive detergents. Do not damage the refrigerant circuit. Cleaning the appliance including interior Clean the appliance interior, the exterior surfaces, the accessories and the door seal regularly with warm water and mild detergent; or with a clean, damp microfiber cloth without cleaning agent. Remove for that the appliance content and stor- age at a cool location. After everything was thoroughly dried, you can restart the operation. Dust and anything else that blocks the exhaust air openings will reduce the cooling capacity of the unit. If necessary, suck off the exhaust air open- ing. Defrosting CAUTION: Never use metal objects (e.g. knives) for removing ice from the vaporizer. The vaporizer could be dam- aged. The appliance has an automatic defrosting. During the defrosting process, the water drops flow through a drainage channel into a catch tray on the back of the appliance, from which it then evaporates. Changing the bulb CAUTION:

NOT remove the cover of the interior light. The LED light may be replaced / repaired in case of failure / defect only by an authorized specialist.38 Troubleshooting Before you contact an authorized specialist Problem Cause / Action Unit is not working properly or at all ∙ Check the power supply / temper- ature setting / ambient temperature. ∙ Unblock the ventilation openings, install the appliance freely.
