Yes, the door is equipped with a lock and two keys. You can lock the cellar to secure your collection.

Can I install the wine cellar in an unheated garage?

The cellar is rated for climate class ST (16-38°C). It should not be placed in areas where temperatures fall below 16°C or exceed 38°C, as performance may be affected.

How often should I clean the condenser coils?

For optimal efficiency, vacuum the condenser coils at least once a year. More frequent cleaning may be needed if the cellar is in a dusty environment.

What should I do if the wine cellar is not cooling properly?

First, check the power supply and ensure the thermostat is set correctly. Also, verify that the door is sealing properly. If issues persist, contact AEG service.

Can I change the door opening direction?

Yes, the door is reversible. Instructions for reversing the door swing can be found in the user manual. It requires the use of a screwdriver and reassembly of hinges.

Is the interior light automatic?
