Risk of electric shock!

The wine conditioning unit must only be switched on when it has been installed in accordance with the installation instructions.

Ground the wine conditioning unit.

The wine conditioning unit must not be grounded via a gas pipe.

If in doubt, have a suitably qualified and experienced electrician check that the wine conditioning unit complies with relevant regulations.

Do not install a fuse into neutral current or grounding electrical circuit.

Do not use an extension cord or power bar.

Do not use a frayed or damaged power cord.

MIELE MasterCool KWT 2601 SF - Risk of electric shock! - 1

Risk of electric shock!

For protection against electric shock, this wine conditioning unit is

equipped with a pole-free plug which is protected against reverse polarity.

The plug must be grounded in the usual way.

Do not remove the round grounding connector pin from the plug.

Use only a grounded plug adapter.

Wait for 1 hour after installation before plugging the wine conditioning unit into the power supply. This allows coolant and refrigerator oil to settle in accordance with regulations.

Ensure that the voltage of the power supply corresponds to the connection voltage of the wine conditioning unit. A power supply of 110–120 V, 60 Hz and 10–16 Amps, which is protected by a power switch or a fuse, is required to operate the wine conditioning unit.

The manufacturer recommends operating the wine conditioning unit on a separate circuit to avoid overloading the electrical circuit.

All relevant legal electrical, fire, and building regulations must be observed when installing the outlet and/or the Wine Storage Unit.

In certain countries, wine conditioning units are required to be connected to the electrical supply via a wall-mounted ON/OFF switch.

To avoid the risk of fire, electric shock, or other injuries, the wine conditioning unit must be installed and connected by a suitably qualified electrician in accordance with all relevant local and national regulations and standards, including fire prevention.

The outlet must be easily accessible so that the wine conditioning unit can be quickly disconnected from the electrical supply in case of an emergency.

If the outlet is no longer accessible after installation, an additional means of disconnection must be provided for all poles. Suitable means of disconnection include switches with an all-pole contact gap of at least 3 mm. These can be circuit breakers, fuses, and relays.

The plug and power cord must not come into contact with the back of the Wine Storage Unit as vibrations can cause damage to these components. This could result in a short circuit.

Do not plug in other appliances behind the wine conditioning unit.

Do not connect the wine conditioning unit to a stand-alone inverter such as those used with an autonomous energy source; for example, solar power.

When the wine conditioning unit is switched on, power surges could result in a safety switch-off. The electronic unit could be damaged. The wine conditioning unit must not be used with what are known as energy-saving devices either. These reduce the amount of energy supplied to the unit, causing it to overheat.

If the power cord needs to be replaced, this must be done by a qualified technician.

Connecting the wine conditioning unit

MIELE MasterCool KWT 2601 SF - Connecting the wine conditioning unit - 1

The ideal temperature and humidity

Wine continues to mature depending on the surrounding conditions. The length of time for which wine can be kept in good condition will therefore depend not only on the temperature but also on the air quality.

The wine conditioning unit with its constant ideal temperature, increased air humidity and odor-free atmosphere offers the perfect conditions for storing your wine.

The wine conditioning unit also guarantees a vibration-free environment (in contrast to a refrigerator) so that the maturing process is not disturbed.

Temperature

Wine can be stored at a temperature between 42^ and 64^ F ( 6^ and 18^ C). If you are storing white and red wines together, select a temperature between 53^ and 57^ F ( 12^ and 14^ C). This is suitable for both white and red wines. Red wine should be taken out of the wine conditioning unit and opened at least two hours before drinking to allow it to breathe and develop its aroma.

At too high a temperature (over 72^ F / 22^ C), wine matures too quickly, which prevents the aromas from developing further. Wine cannot mature fully at too low a temperature (below 41^ F / 5^ C).

Fluctuations in temperature put wine under stress and interrupt the maturing process. It is therefore very important to maintain a constant temperature.

Type of wine Recommended drinking temperature
Light, fruity red wines:57° to 61°F(14° to 16°C)
Full-bodied red wines:64°F (18°C)
Rosé wines:46° to 50°F(8° to 10°C)
Delicate, aromatic white wines:46° to 54°F (8° to 12°C)
Full-bodied or sweet white wines:46° to +57°F(12° to 14°C)
Champagne, sparkling white wines:43° to 50°F(6° to 10°C)

Tip: Store the wine 1° or 2° cooler than the recommended drinking temperature as it warms up a little when poured into the glass.

Tip: Full-bodied reds should be opened for 2-3 hours before drinking to allow it to breathe and develop its aroma.

Tip: We recommend removing the oxygen from opened bottles of wine to avoid loss of aroma and taste, as well as spoiling. Special devices (a wine pump with bottle stopper, for example) create a vacuum by extracting the air.

Isolator panels for thermal separation

The Wine Storage Unit has two fixed isolator panels that divide the interior into three zones, which can be conditioned in different ways. This means that you can store up to three different types of wine at the same time – for example, red wine, white wine, and champagne.

Setting the temperature

■ Touch the 🔊 symbol for setting the temperature in the display.

The previously set temperatures are displayed.

■ Use the < and > arrow buttons to select the temperature of the required wine conditioning zone and touch OK to confirm your selection.
■ Use the + and — sensors to set the temperature. Keeping your finger on the sensor changes the temperature continuously.
■ Confirm the temperature setting with OK or wait approx. 8 seconds after touching the sensor for the last time. This temperature will be automatically adopted.

Tip: The new temperature setting can also be confirmed and adopted by closing the appliance door.

The temperature display always shows the required temperature.

If you have adjusted the temperature, wait for approx. 6 hours if the Wine Storage Unit is not very full and for approx. 24 hours if the Wine Storage Unit is full before checking the temperature display. It will take this long for an accurate reading to be given.

■ If, after this time, the temperature is still too high or too low, adjust it again.

Temperature range

In all three zones, it is possible to set temperatures between 41°F and 68°F (5°C and 20°C).

Humidity

In most refrigerators the humidity is too low for wine and therefore a refrigerator is not suitable for wine storage. Higher humidity levels are necessary when storing wine to moisturize natural corks from the outside. When the humidity is too low the natural corks dry out and the bottle is no longer tightly sealed. For this reason wine bottles should always be stored horizontally to ensure that natural corks are also moisturized from the inside. If air gets into the bottle, this will have a negative impact on the wine!

Tip: Humidity levels can be set separately for each wine conditioning zone. Always increase the humidity level in a wine conditioning zone whenever you are using it to store wine bottles sealed with natural corks.

MIELE MasterCool KWT 2601 SF - Humidity - 1

Risk of damage caused by ex- moisture

This will lead to condensation on the interior walls, which can cause corrosion damage.

Do not introduce additional moisture into the air, e.g., by placing a dish of water inside the Wine Storage Unit.

Increasing the humidity

If you have set a higher level of humidity, the fans will switch on automatically. This will distribute the humidity and the temperature evenly around the Wine Storage Unit so that you can store all your wine under the same excellent conditions. The fans switch off automatically when the appliance door is opened and remain switched off for as long as it is kept open.

■ Touch the 🔊 symbol for setting the temperature in the display.
■ Use the < and > arrow buttons to select the required wine conditioning zone and touch OK to confirm your selection.
■ Touch the △ button in the display.

The △ button will then be highlighted in color.

■ Confirm your selection with OK or wait approx. 8 seconds after touching the button for the last time. The setting will be automatically adopted.

Not increasing the humidity

■ Touch the ⏻ symbol for setting the temperature in the display.
■ Use the < and > arrow buttons to select the required wine conditioning zone and touch OK to confirm your selection.
■ Touch the △ button in the display.

The △ button will then no longer be highlighted in color.

■ Confirm your selection with OK or wait approx. 8 seconds after touching the button for the last time. The setting will be automatically adopted.

An alarm will sound if the appliance door has been left open for longer than approx. 2 minutes.

The message Close the door also appears in the display.

As soon as the door is closed, the alarm will stop and the message in the display will go out.

Turning the door alarm off early

If the alarm disturbs you, it can be turned off early.

■ Touch the OK sensor control in the display.

The alarm stops and the message disappears from the display.

After a certain time the alarm will sound again and the message will reappear in the display until the appliance door is closed.

Always observe USDA food safety guidelines.

MIELE MasterCool KWT 2601 SF - Turning the door alarm off early - 1

WARNING! Fire hazard!

Do not operate any electrical equipment inside the wine conditioning. This can cause sparking.

Vibration and movement have a negative effect on the maturing process which can in turn affect the taste of the wine.

To avoid disturbing other bottles when removing a bottle of wine, store bottles of the same type beside each other on the same shelf. Avoid stacking bottles on top of one another on the wooden shelves.

Always place the bottles in a horizontal position so that the natural corks can be kept moist on the inside and air is prevented from getting into the bottles.

Tip: We also recommend increasing the humidity level inside the Wine Storage Unit for wine bottles with natural corks (see “Increasing the humidity ” in “The ideal temperature and humidity”).

MIELE MasterCool KWT 2601 SF - Turning the door alarm off early - 2

Danger of injury!

General problems with the wine conditioning unit

Problem Possible causeand solution
Mildew has begun to form on the wine bottle labels.Mildew may form on the labels, depending on the type of label adhesive used.■ Clean the wine bottles and remove any adhesive residue.
The slats on the wooden shelves are warping.Volume change due to moisture absorption or drying out is a typical characteristic of wood. An increase in humidity will cause wooden components to warp, which can lead to cracking. Knots and wavy grain are characteristic for wood and cannot be avoided.
A white deposit has formed on the wine bottle corks.The corks have oxidized due to contact with the air.■ Use a dry cloth to wipe off the deposit. The deposit will not affect the quality of the wine.
Normal noises Cause
Brrrrr... A humminging noise is made by the motor (compressor). This noise can get louder for brief periods when the motor switches on.
Blub, blub.... A ggurgling noise can be heard when the coolant circulates through the pipes.
Click.... Clickingsounds occur whenever the thermostat switches the motor on or off.
Sssrrrrr.... On multi-zone wine conditioning units you can sometimes just hear the sound of the fan inside the appliance.
Crack... A crackingsound can be heard when material inside the wine conditioning unit expands.
Please bear in mind that a certain amount of noise is unavoidable (from the compressor and the coolant circulating through the system).
Noises that you can easily eliminatePossible cause Solution
Rattling, clinkingThe wine conditioning unit is uneven.Realign the wine conditioning unit using a spirit level, by raising or lowering the screw feet underneath the appliance.
Shelves are unstable or sticking.Check all removable items and refit them correctly.
