Congratulations
By buying our temperature-controlled wine unit you have
chosen a modern, high-quality domestic appliance.
Only when they have reached the right drinking tempera-
ture do good wines first develop their aroma and flavour for
your full enjoyment. Your temperature-controlled wine unit
provides slowly and steadily the ideal drinking temperature
for your wines. Both red and white wines can be stored
at the same time in the two separately configurable
climatic zones.
The outstanding feature of your new appliance is its low
power consumption.
Each appliance which leaves our factory is inspected
thoroughly to ensure that it functions properly and
is in perfect condition.
If you have any questions –particularly concerning
installation and connection of the appliance –please
do not hesitate to contact our customer service.
Further information and a selection of our products can
be found on our home page.
Safety and warning information
Before you switch ON the appliance
Please read the operating and installation instructions
carefully.
They contain important information on how to install,
use and maintain the appliance.
Retain all documents for subsequent use or for the next
owner.
Tec h nica l sa f e t y
mWarning
This appliance contains a small quantity of environmentally
friendly but flammable R600a refrigerant.
Ensure that the tubing of the refrigerant circuit is not
damaged during transportation and installation.
Leaking refrigerant may cause eye injuries or ignite.
If damage has occurred
keep naked flames and/or ignition sources away from
the appliance,
pull out the mains plug,
thoroughly ventilate the room for several minutes,
notify customer service.
The more refrigerant an appliance contains, the larger
the room must be. Leaking refrigerant can form a flam-
mable gas-air mixture in rooms which are too small.
The room must be at least 1 m3per 8 g of refrigerant.
The amount of refrigerant in your appliance is indicated
on the rating plate inside the appliance.

Installation instructions
Installation location
The appliance should be installed in a dry, well ventilated
room.
The installation location should neither be exposed
to direct sunlight nor near a heat source, e.g. a cooker,
radiator, etc.
If installation near a heat source is unavoidable, use
a suitable insulating plate or observe the following
minimum distances to a heat source:
to electric or gas cookers 3 cm.
to an oil-fired or solid-fuel cooker 30 cm.
Observing ambient temperature
and ventilation
Ambient temperature
The climatic class can be found on the rating plate It states
the room temperature within which the appliance can
be operated.
Ventilation
Never cover the ventilation openings in the base panel.
The cooling motor otherwise has to increase ist output,
and this increases the electricity consumption.
Fixing
For secure installation, the appliance screwed to neigh-
bouring kitchen furniture and/or units.
It is very important therefore that all bordering furniture
and/or units are fixed securely to the floor and/or walls.
If making structural changes fix the appliance in place
again corresponding to the the installation instructions.
Subsurface
mCaution
The appliance is very heavy!
Wine storage cabinet 45.7 cm (18") 245 kg
Wine storage cabinet 61.0 cm (24") 310 kg
A load-bearing base is necessary because of the heavy
weight of the fully laden appliance.
In case of doubt, consult an architect or structural
engineer.
The floor of the installation location must not give way;
if required, reinforce floor.
Connecting the appliance
mCaution
Have a technician install and connect the appliance
according to the enclosed installation instructions.
After installing the appliance, wait at least 8 hours until
the appliance starts up. During transportation the oil in the
compressor may have flowed into the refrigeration system.
Before switching on the appliance for the first time, clean
the interior (see “Cleaning the appliance”).
Apart from statutory national regulations, you should
adhere to the connection terms applied by local electricity
and water companies.
Do not remove the transportation protection devices from
the shelves and storage compartments until the appliance
has been installed.
Climate class Permitted ambient
temperature
SN +10 °C to 32 °C
N+16°C to 32 °C

This appliance must be connected to a permanent socket.
The socked for connecting the appliance must be freely
accessible. Connect the appliance only to 220–240 V/
50 Hz AC current via a socket which has been properly
installed. The socket must be fused with a 10 to 16 A fuse.
For appliances operated in non-European countries,
the identification plate should be checked whether
the electric supply and the current model stated match
the vales of the mains supply. The power cord may
be replaced by a technician only.
mWarning
Never connect the appliance to electronic energy saver
plugs (e.g. Ecoboy: Sava Plug) or to power inverters which

Storage examples
Practical tips for storing wine
Always unpack bottles of wine – do not store in crates
or boxes.
Place old bottles so that the cork is always wet.
There should never be an air gap between the wine
and the cork.
Before the wine is drunk, it should be “warmed up”
(chambré): Place e.g. rosé wine on the table approx.
2–5 hours before drinking, red wine 4–5 hours before
drinking. The wine will then be at the correct drinking
temperature. Sparkling wine and Champagne should
be cooled in the refrigerator shortly before drinking.
Remember that wine should always be cooled
slightly lower than the ideal serving temperature,
as its temperature increases by 1 to 2 °C as soon as it
is poured into a glass!
Drinking temperatures
The correct serving temperature is crucial for the taste and
therefore your enjoyment of the wine. We recommend
serving wine at the following drinking temperatures:
61.0 cm appliance
101 bottles (0.75 l)
45.7 cm appliance
70 bottles (0.75 l)
Type of wine Drinking temperature
Bordeaux red 18 ºC
Côtes du Rhône red/Barolo 17 ºC
Burgundy red/
Bordeaux red
16 ºC
Port 15 ºC
Young Burgundy red 14 ºC
Young red wine 12 ºC
Young Beaujolais/
all white wines with little
residual sugar
11 ºC
Old white wines/
Chardonnay
10 ºC
Sherry 9 ºC
Young white wines from
late vintage
