m 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.
The manufacturer is not liable if you fail to
comply with the instructions and warnings.
Retain all documents for subsequent use or
for the next owner.
Technical safety
The tubes of the refrigeration circuit convey a
small quantity of an environmentally friendly
but flammable refrigerant (R600a). It does
not damage the ozone layer and does not
increase the greenhouse effect. If refrigerant
escapes, it may injure your eyes or ignite.
If damage has occurred
▯Keep naked flames and/or ignition
sources away from the appliance,
▯thoroughly ventilate the room for several
minutes,
▯switch off the appliance and pull out the
mains plug,
▯inform customer service.
The more refrigerant an appliance contains,
the larger the room must be in which the
appliance is situated. 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.
If the power cord of this appliance is
damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, customer service or a similarly
qualified person. Improper installations
and repairs may put the user at considerable
risk.
Repairs may be performed by the
manufacturer, customer service or a similarly
qualified person only.
Only original parts supplied by the
manufacturer may be used. The manufacturer
guarantees that only these parts satisfy the
safety requirements.
Do not use multiple sockets, extension leads
or adapters.
Important information when using
the appliance
▯Never use electrical appliances inside
the appliance (e.g. heater, electric ice
maker, etc.). Explosion hazard!
▯Never defrost or clean the appliance with
a steam cleaner! The steam may
penetrate electrical parts and cause
a short-circuit. Risk of electric shock!
▯Do not use pointed or sharp-edged
implements to remove frost or layers of
ice. You could damage the refrigerant
tubes. Leaking refrigerant may cause eye
injuries or ignite.
▯Do not store products which contain
flammable propellants (e.g. spray cans)
or explosive substances in the appliance.
Explosion hazard!

Placing bottles in the refrigerator
Storage examples
Practical tips for storing wine
▯Unpack bottles of wine – do not leave in crates
or cardboard boxes – before storing
in the refrigerator compartment.
▯Place old bottles so that the cork is always wet.
There should never be an air gap between
the wine and the cork.
▯The open bottle shelves are especially suitable
because they do not interrupt the air circulation.
As a result, the atmospheric humidity which
condenses on the bottles quickly dries again.
▯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 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:
