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
temperature 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 temperature 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.
Technical safety
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
zKeep naked flames and/or ignition sources away from
the appliance,
zpull out the mains plug,
zthoroughly ventilate the room for several minutes,
znotify customer service.
The more refrigerant an appliance contains, the larger the
room must be. Leaking refrigerant can form a flammable
gas-air mixture in rooms which are too small.
The room must be at least 1 m3 per 8 g of refrigerant.
The amount of refrigerant in your appliance is indicated
on the rating plate inside the appliance.

6
Important information when using
the appliance
zNever use electrical appliances inside the appliance
(e. g. heater, etc.). Risk of explosion!
zNever use a steam cleaner to defrost or clean the
appliance! The steam may penetrate electrical parts
and cause a short-circuit. Risk of electric shock!
zDo not store products which contain flammable
propellants (e. g. spray cans) or explosive substances
in the appliance. Risk of explosion!
zDo not stand or support yourself on the base,
drawers or doors, etc.
zFor cleaning and exchanging the bulb, pull the mains
plug out or switch off the fuse. Do not pull out the
mains plug by tugging the cable.
Warning: When the appliance is switched off using
the temperature setting (Display: OFF), the supply of
current is not disrupted.
zBottles which contain a high percentage of alcohol
must be sealed and stored in an upright position.
zKeep plastic parts and the door seal free of oil and
grease. Otherwise, parts and door seal will become
porous.
zNever cover or block the ventilation openings for the
appliance.
zPeople who have limited physical, sensory or mental
abilities or inadequate knowledge must not use this
appliance unless they are supervised or given
meticulous instructions.
zOnly customer service may change the power cord
and carry out any other repairs. Improper installations
and repairs may put the user at considerable risk.
zOnly original parts supplied by the manufacturer may
be used. The manufacturer guarantees that only these
parts satisfy the safety requirements.
Children in the household
zDo not allow children to play with the appliance!
zIf the appliance features a lock, keep the key out of the
reach of children.

Installation
Installation location
A dry, well ventilated room is suitable as an installation
location. The installation location should neither be
exposed to direct sunlight nor near a heat source, e.g.
a cooker, radiator, etc. If installation next to a heat source
is unavoidable, use a suitable insulating plate or observe
the following minimum distances to a heat source:
z3 cm to an electric cooker.
z30 cm to an oil or solid-fuel cooker.
The floor on which the appliance is to be installed must
be rigid. If required, reinforce the floor.
Observe ambient temperature
and ventilation
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 its output,
and this increases the electricity consumption.
Fixing
For secure installation, the appliance screwed
to neighbouring 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 installation instructions.
Installation surface
A load-bearing base is necessary because of the heavy
weight of the fully laden appliance.
The weight of the appliance when fully loaded is approx.
500 kg.
In case of doubt, consult an architect or structural
engineer.
Installing and connecting the appliance
mCaution!
The appliance should only be installed and connected
by a recognised installation engineer according to the
installation instructions belonging to the appliance.
After installing the appliance, wait at least ½ hour before
switching on the appliance. 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 of the appliance (see “Cleaning the appliance”,
page 19).
Climatic class Permitted ambient
temperature
SN +10 °C to 32 °C
N+16°C to 32 °C
ST +16 °C to 38 °C
T+16°C to 43 °C

11
Electrical connection
Do not use extension cables or distributors.
The plug to secure the appliance must be freely
accessible. Connect the appliance to a 220–240 V/50 Hz
ac current via a plug 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
values of the mains supply. The rating plate is situated
in the bottom left-hand side of the appliance.
The power cord may be replaced by a technician only.
mWarning
Never connect the appliance to electronic energy
saver plugs or to power inverters which convert the
direct current to 230 V alternating current (e.g. solar
equipment, power supplies on ships).
Factory settings
Upon leaving the factory, the appliance has been supplied
with the following settings:

Storage examples
Practical tips for storing wine
zAlways unpack bottles of wine – do not store in crates
or boxes.
zPlace old bottles so that the cork is always wet.
There should never be an air gap between the wine
and the cork.
zBefore 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.
zRemember 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
98 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
8ºC
White wines Loire/
Entre-deux-Mers
7ºC
