Disposal notes
The appliance contains reusable materials and should be disposed of properly - not simply with unsorted household refuse. Appliances which are no longer needed must be disposed of in a professional and appropriate way, in accordance with the current local regulations and laws.
When disposing of the appliance, ensure that the refrigerant circuit is not damaged to prevent uncontrolled escape of the refrigerant it contains (data on type plate) and oil.
- Disable the appliance.
- Pull out the mains plug.
- Cut through the connection cable.
WARNING
Danger of suffocation due to packing material and plastic film!
Do not allow children to play with packaging material.
Take the packaging material to an official collection point.
Description of the appliance
Safety instructions and warnings
- To prevent injury or damage to the unit, the appliance should be unpacked and set up by two people.
- In the event that the appliance is damaged on delivery, contact the supplier immediately before connecting to the mains.
- To guarantee safe operation, ensure that the appliance is set up and connected as described in these operating instructions.
- Disconnect the appliance from the mains if any fault occurs. Pull out the plug, switch off or remove the fuse.
- When disconnecting the appliance, pull on the plug, not on the cable.
- Any repairs and work on the appliance should only be carried out by the customer service department, as unauthorised work could prove highly dangerous for the user. The same applies to changing the mains power cable.
- Do not allow naked flames or ignition sources to enter the appliance. When transporting and cleaning the appliance, ensure that the refrigerant circuit is not damaged. In the event of damage, make sure that there are no ignition sources nearby and keep the room well ventilated.
- Do not stand on the plinth, drawers or doors or use them to support anything else.
- This appliance can be used by children of 8 years old and over, and also by persons with restricted physical, sensory or mental capacity or lack of experience and knowledge, if they are supervised or have been instructed on safe use of the appliance and understand the resulting risks. Children must not be allowed to play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance must not be carried out by children without supervision.
- Avoid prolonged skin contact with cold surfaces or chilled/frozen food. This could cause pain, numbness and frostbite. In the case of prolonged skin contact, protective measures should be taken, e.g. gloves should be worn.
- Do not consume food which has been stored for too long, as it could cause food poisoning.
- Do not store explosives or sprays using combustible propellants such as butane, propane, pentane, etc. in the appliance. Electrical components might cause leaking gas to ignite. You may identify such sprays by the printed contents or a flame symbol.
- Do not use electrical appliances inside the appliance.
- If you have a lockable appliance, do not keep the key near the appliance or within reach of children.
- The appliance is designed for use in enclosed areas. Do not operate the appliance outdoors or in areas where it is exposed to splash water or damp conditions.
- The LED light strips illuminate the interior of the appliance. They are not suitable for lighting a room.
- When transporting or operating the appliance at an altitude of more than 1500m above sea level, the glass pane in the door can break due to the reduction in air pressure. Broken fragments are sharp-edged and can cause serious injury.

Fan
The interior fan ensures a constant and even interior temperature and a suitable climate for wine storage.
The humidity in the appliance can be increased even further by activating the Ventilation button. This has a particularly positive effect for long-term storage.
Ventilation
The increased level of humidity prevents the corks from drying out.
Door open alarm

Temperature alarm
If the temperatures in the interior are out of the permitted range, the audible warning signal will sound and the temperature display will flash.
- Cancel the audible warning signal by pressing the Alarm button.
After a lengthy power failure, the temperature in the interior may have risen to too high a level. After the power supply returns, the fall in temperature can be watched on the display.
The temperature display will stop flashing as soon as the temperature in the interior has reached the set value.
Temperature alarm after a fault in the appliance
If the appliance develops a fault, the temperature in the interior may rise too high or fall too low. The audible warning signal will sound and the temperature display will flash.
- Cancel the audible warning signal by pressing the Alarm button.
If the temperature displayed is too high (warm), first check whether the door is closed correctly.
If the temperature display continues to show a value that is too high or too low after one hour, contact the customer service department.
If F1, F8, E1, E2, E7 or E8 appears in the display, the appliance has suffered a fault.
In this case, contact the customer service department.
Set-up mode
In set-up mode, you can set the child lock and adjust the brightness of the display. The child lock is designed to protect the appliance from being switched off and the temperature setting from being changed accidentally.
Activating the child lock
Deactivating the child lock
Adjusting the display brightness
Use buttons Up and Down to select the desired setting.
h0 = display lighting off h1 = minimum brightness h5 = maximum brightness
The adjusted brightness will be activated after one minute.
Note
If a button is pressed, the display lights up for one minute at maximum brightness.
When commissioning the appliance, the adjusted brightness will only be active once the set interior temperature of the appliance has been reached.
Interior light
The interior of the appliance is lit by an LED light strip at the top of each compartment.
The interior light will always switch on when the appliance door is opened. The interior light will go out approx. 5 seconds after the door is closed.

Air exchange with activated charcoal filter
The way in which wines continue to mature depends on the ambient conditions.
The quality of the air is therefore decisive for preserving the wine.
We recommend that you replace the illustrated filter once a year. Filters can be obtained from your dealer.
Changing the filter
- Push the filter in and release it again.
