What to do if the display shows 'HI' or 'LO'?

'HI' indicates that the interior temperature exceeds 23 °C: the alarm sounds after one hour. 'LO' means a temperature below 0 °C. Check that the door is properly closed, that the appliance is not near a heat source, and that ventilation is not obstructed.

Follow the steps: open the door 90°, remove the screws from the lower hinge pin, remove the door, unscrew the end stop device, remove the top right hinge, install the replacement left hinge, then repeat for the bottom hinge. Refer to the diagram in the manual.

Why is the wine cellar not cooling?
