USE
Position and clean the cabinet as
explained in the section "Installation".
Check that the drain hose at the rear
of the cabinet discharges into the drip
tray.
Before inserting the power plug into the outlet and switching on the cabinet for
the first time, leave it standing upright for about 2 hours. Otherwise the
compressor may sustain damage. This time will allow the oil sufficient time to
return to the compressor.

Allow the cabinet to run for a period of
24 hours whenever the temperature
setting is changed. This will allow the
temperature to stabilise inside the
cabinet.
It is not necessary to reset the
temperature when the cabinet is
switched on after it has been out of
use. The thermostat recalls the
previously set temperature.

Wine Placement
Storage tips
The amount of time to store wine
depends on its maturity, type of grape,
alcohol content, and dissolved fruc-
tose and tannins. When purchasing
your wine, find out whether it is mature
or if it will improve over time.
In the lower part of the cooler. Cold air
prolongs the time to maturity. Accord-
ingly, store old and mature wine as well
as wine you would like to store for a
long time in the lower portion of the
cooler. The lower part should also be
usedtostorewinethatistobeserved
cold.
In the upper part of the cooler. In the
upperpart,storewinethatyouwishto
let further mature, wines that are
served at a warmer temperature, and
those wines you intend to consume
relatively soon.
Store the bottles lying down so that
the corks do not dry out.
Store the wine in the dark. The cooler
doors are made with double-paned
glass with a dark coating. This will
protect the wine against light damage
if the cooler is placed in a well-lit area.
Avoid turning on the light in the cooler
too often or for too long. The wine
should be stored in the dark.
Handle the bottles with care, so that
the wine is not agitated.
Heed any advice and recommenda-
tions given at the time of purchase or
in the professional literature concern-
ing the wine's quality, durability and
optimal storage temperature.
Recommended storage temperatures:
- for white wines +10 to +12°C
- for rosé wines and light red wines
+12to+16°C
- for champagne and sparkling wines
+6 to +8°C
If you stack several bottles on top of
one another, make sure they do not
touch the cabinet's cooling plate.

Measuring the temperature
If the temperature is measured using a
standard, single thermometer, this
should be put in a glass of water
centrally placed inside the cabinet.
This will reflect the temperature inside
the food products. Do not place the
thermometer hanging or lying directly
on the shelf.
Switching off
Switch off the cabinet by pressing the
power switch.
Keep the button pressed for approx. 1
second.
Power to the cabinet is completely
interrupted only when the power plug
is disconnected.
Alarms and other features
Door open alarm
If the fridge door remains open for
more than 5 minutes, the red warning
lamp starts flashing and an audible
alarm sounds.
To switch off the alarm:
Press the "alarm shut-off button". The
red warning lamp goes out when the
door is closed.
12
Lighting
The cooler lighting may be turned on
with the door closed. This makes it
easy to survey the contents of the
cooler without opening the door. The
cooler lighting should normally be off,
so that the wine is not unduly exposed
to light. The lighting turns off
automatically after about 5 minutes.
12
Cabinet interior
The shelves may be placed flat or at
an angle.
Angle the shelf by placing the front
pegs in a lower set of tracks. You can
store already opened bottles on the
shelf in this position.
