• Store wine bottles in designated spaces
• Your wine cooler has a limited capacity. Do not place more bottles in your wine cooler than recommended in specification
• Do not open the wine cooler door if it is not necessary
• Do not cover the shelves with aluminium foil or other material. This blocks the air circulation inside the appliance
• To avoid damage to the door seal, make sure that the door is completely open before pulling out the shelf. The shelves should be inserted as far as possible, otherwise the shelf may deform and damage the door seal.
• Do not extend the loaded shelves beyond the extension limit (about 1/3 of the shelf length)
• This appliance is designed for storing bottles of wine. Do not use it for any other purpose.
• Temperature stability is very important when storing wine.
• Exposing your wine cooler to sunlight, significant temperature fluctuations, high humidity and vibrations may cause the wine to go bad.
• In periods of high humidity, condensed water vapour may appear on the outer surfaces of the glass door. To prevent this, install the appliance in a dry, adequately ventilated room.
• Selected models have an 'external handle. You need to install it on your own. Do not use electric tools for this purpose (fig. 3^* ). To do this, pull the door seal slightly to the side and place the screws on the inside of the door. Align the handle with the holes on the outside of the door and tighten the screws with a screwdriver. Reinstall the door seal.
• The maximum capacity of the appliance is given in the product sheet enclosed with the wine cooler. This capacity applies to standard 0.75 litre bottles of Bordeaux.
• Selected models have an Anti-tip kit. Install it according to the enclosed diagram (fig. 6*).
• This refrigeration appliance is intended for use as a built-in appliance.
• To achieve the most effective food preservation for the longest possible time and to avoid wasting any food, position the products as shown in Figure 12. In addition, this figure illustrates the layout of drawers, baskets and shelves, which allows the most efficient use of energy.
• Optimal temperature and storage conditions will extend product shelf life and optimize electricity consumption. Optimal storage temperature range should be stated on the food product packaging.

Child Lock

If in 2 minutes or longer without touching any key, the child lock will be activated automatically. To cancel the lock, touch the UP and DOWN keys simultaneously for at least 5 seconds.

Setting the Temperature Control

• The unit has a single adjustable temperature zone. The temperature can be set between 5^ and 20^ (41°F and 68°F). It can be used as a wine maturing cabinet or a wine serving cabinet. The recommended temperature setting range for maturing wine is between 11^ and 14^ (52°F and 57°F). The recommended temperature setting range for serving white wine is between 5^ and 10^ (41°F and 50°F) and the recommended temperature setting range for serving red wine is between 15^ and 20^ (58°F and 68°F).

• When the unit is plugged in for the first time, the unit will power up automatically to the preset defaults. The temperature preset at the factory is 12^ ( 54^ ) (ideal maturing temperature).

• You can set the temperature as required by touching the UP or DOWN key. When you touch either key at the first time, the display will show the last temperature set previously. The temperature will increase 1^ / 1^ if you touch the UP key once, or the temperature will decrease 1^ / 1^ if you touch the DOWN key once. The display flashes while you make the setting.

• After the temperature has been set, the display shows the current inner temperature.

• To view the set temperature at any time, touch the UP or DOWN key and the set temperature will temporarily flash in the display for 5 seconds. Then the display shows the current inner temperature again.

TEMPERATURE DISPLAY

During normal operation, the temperature display on the control panel shows the temperature inside the appliance. The temperature display will flash if

• A different temperature is being set,

• The temperature in the zone deviates by more than 5^ ( 9^ ) from the set temperature.

The temperature display flashing ensures that the temperature cannot rise or fall unnoticed and impair the wine.

TEMPERATURE MEMORY FUNCTION

In the event of a power interruption (power surge, breaker switch, etc.), the unit remembers the previous temperature settings. When the power is recovered, the cabinet temperature will go back the same setting temperature as before the power interruption.

TEMPERATURE ALARM

An audible alarm will sound if the temperature rises or falls outside the temperature range. The temperature display will flash at the same time. The temperature the appliance is set at determines the temperature the appliance recognizes as being too warm or too cool.

The audible alarm will sound and the temperature display will flash:

• When you switch the appliance on, if the temperature inside the appliance is very different from the temperature set.
• When there has been a lengthy interruption to the power supply.
• When too many items have been put into the unit at one time. Or too much ambient air flowed in when rearranging and removing storage items.
  When the door is not been closed tightly.
• The appliance is faulty.

The audible alarm will be automatically silenced, the temperature display stops flashing when the set temperature is reached again. However, if the noise disturbs you, you can switch the audible alarm off before this if you wish by touching the POWER key once. The alarm will stop. The relevant temperature display continues to flash until the set temperature has been reached. The display then lights up constantly and the alarm system is fully active again.

DOOR ALARM

If the door has been left open for more than 60 seconds, the audible alarm will sound. Closing the door or touching the POWER key once can switch off the audible alarm.

INTERIOR LIGHT

The interior lighting makes it easy to view your wine labels and enhances the display of your collection. Touching the LIGHT key toggles between 2 modes of operation for the interior lights: functional (default) mode and showcase mode. If you are in functional (default) mode, the lights will turn on only when the door is open. The interior light will go out approx. 5 seconds after the door is closed. If you are in showcase mode, the lights will be on whether or not the door is open.

DYNACLIMA / SILENT MODES

The appliance has two different running modes: DynaClima and Silent modes.

The DYNACLIMA (Dynamic Climate) mode enables the relative humidity inside the unit and the temperature to be distributed evenly around the interior so you can store all your wine under exactly the same excellent conditions. If you would like to use the unit to store wine long term, the DYNACLIMA mode is a must. This will create a continuous climate in the cabinet which imitates that of a wine cellar.

In the DYNACLIMA mode, the interior fan circulates the inside air evenly even when the set temperature is reached. To change to DYNACLIMA mode, touch and hold the DOWN key for approximately five seconds. The wine cellar will beep five times to confirm DYNACLIMA mode is on. To change to SILENT mode (Also known as energy saving mode), touch and hold the UP key for approximately five seconds. The wine cellar will beep three times to confirm SILENT (default) mode is on.

SABBATH MODE

Sabbath mode is available for the observance of certain religious holidays. This mode turns off the displays, interior light, sensor tones and audible alarms and prevents them from turning on again. Normal cooling operations will still take place.

To initiate Sabbath mode, touch the POWER and ^ F keys simultaneously for at least 5 seconds. The displays and interior lights will go out to confirm the Sabbath mode is ON.

Sabbath mode can be canceled by repeating the above process. The Sabbath Mode will automatically turn off after 48 hours.

VENTILATION GAPS

If there is any gap at the top of unit or between the rear wall of unit and housing rear plate, use the provided sponge to seal as below figure to create the ventilation channel.

WARNING: If the ventilation gaps given are not observed, the compressor will run more frequently and for longer periods. This will result in increased energy consumption and a higher operating temperature for the compressor. This may, in turn, cause damage to the compressor. It is essential to observe the ventilation gaps given.
