∙ Always ensure that the door is properly closed and that the
seal is not obstructed by bottles stored inside the cabinet.
∙ Following a power interruption, or if the unit has been
switched off on purpose, it may take 3 to 5 minutes before it
switches on again.
∙ Note: In position '0', the cooling function is switched
off, though the appliance is still connected to the mains.
Humidity control
If the ambient air is extremely dry, the tray (supplied) should be
lled ¾-full with water and then placed on one of the storage
racks.
The water level should be regularly checked and replenished
as necessary
Storing wine
The following temperatures are suitable for various wines:
Red:
15 -18 °C
Dry/white:
10 -15 °C
Sparkling/champagne:
De-frosting and cleaning
During operation, you may notice a build-up of frost around the
integral evaporator sealed into the rear of the inside cabinet.
This layer of frost will start melting when the compressor is not
working. Through a system of hoses, the melt-water drains
into the collection tray below the compressor, where it will be
absorbed into the surrounding air.
The unit does not therefore require de-frosting, but only proper
cleaning.
∙ To enable the melt-water to drain freely, always ensure that
the channel and discharge opening in the cabinet are free of
any blockage.
∙ Any water collecting in the bottom should be removed.
Remark: Do not use abrasive tools, materials containing
alcohol or harsh cleaning solutions. Do not use any electrical
appliances, such as steam cleaners, for de-frosting or cleaning.
∙ Always remove the plug from the wall socket before
cleaning.
∙ Do not pour water over or inside the unit.
∙ For frequent cleaning we recommend the use of warm water
with some mild detergent.
∙ The cabinet should be cleaned once a month.
∙ Any accessories should be cleaned separately with soapy
water. Do not put them in a dishwasher.
∙ After cleaning, thoroughly clean all surfaces with fresh water
before wiping them completely dry. When re-inserting the
plug into the wall socket ensure that you have dry hands.
∙ To save energy and to ensure optimum performance, the
compressor (at the rear) should be carefully cleaned at least
twice a year, with a brush or a vacuum cleaner.

Trouble-shooting
Certain typical sounds can be heard when the appliance is
switched on. These sounds are caused by:
∙ the electric motor
within the compressor
assembly; during
compressor start-up
the sound level will be
slightly higher for a short
time.
∙ the cooling agent
owing through the circuit.
In addition, the side of the housing may become warm. This
heat is caused by dissipation of the heat generated inside the
cabinet.
The following table lists possible malfunctions, their probable
causes and solutions. In the event of operational problems,
check rst whether a solution can be found using this table. If
the problem persists, disconnect the appliance from the mains
power and contact our Customer Service Department.
