Installing the appliance
Installation location
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.
~"Getting to know your appliance" on page 9
The weight of the appliance may be up to 500 kg
depending on the model. The base must be sufficiently
stable and should not give. If necessary, reinforce the
floor.
Permitted room temperature
The permitted room temperature depends on the
climatic class of the appliance.
Information on the climatic class can be found on the
rating plate.
~"Getting to know your appliance" on page 9
The appliance is fully functional within the permitted
room temperature.
If an appliance of climatic class SN is operated at
colder room temperatures, the appliance will not be
damaged up to a room temperature of +5 °C.
Built-in cut-out
The cut-out must fulfil these criteria:
▯Anti-tilt bracket fitted
▯Cut-out depth min. 610 mm, for flush installation
635 mm
▯Rectangular
▯Stable – the side panels and the top must be min.
16 mm thick and securely attached to the bottom or
wall
▯Depth of shortened side panels min. 100 mm
Side-by-side installation
Observe the specifications in the installation
instructions for a side-by-side installation.
If a partition wall is required between the appliances, it
must be at least 16 mm wide.

Tips for saving energy
If you follow the instructions below, your appliance will use less power.
Note: The arrangement of the features does not affect the energy consumption of the appliance.
--------
Installing the appliance
Keep the appliance out of direct sunlight. The appliance needs to cool less frequently at low ambient
temperatures and therefore consumes less power.
Install the appliance as far away as possible from heating ele-
ments, cooker and other heat sources:
At least 1¼" (3 cm) from electric or gas cookers.
At least 11¾" (30 cm) from oil or solid-fuel cookers.
Note:
If this is not possible, attach an insulating plate between the
appliance and heat source.
Select an installation location with a room temperature of
approx. 20 °C.
Do not cover or block the ventilation openings. If the warm air can escape, the appliance needs to cool less
frequently and therefore consumes less power.
Ventilate the room daily.
Using the appliance
Open the appliance door only briefly. The air in the appliance does not warm up so intensely. The
appliance must cool less frequently and therefore consumes
less power.
Transport cooled wine in a cool bag and place in the appli-
ance quickly.
Always leave a space between the bottles and the back wall. The air can circulate, and the temperature will remain con-
stant. The appliance must cool less frequently and therefore
consumes less power.
Do not cover or block the ventilation openings. The appliance consumes less power if the warm air can
escape freely.
Vacuum the ventilation openings once a year.

8
en Installation and connection
Before using your appliance for the
first time
1Remove information material, adhesive tape and
protective film.
2Clean the appliance.
Electrical connection
Caution!
Do not connect the appliance to electronic energy saver
plugs.
Note: You can connect the appliance to mains-
controlled and sine-controlled inverters.
Mains-controlled inverters are used for photovoltaic
systems which are connected directly to the national
grid. Sine-controlled inverters must be used for isolated
applications. Isolated applications, e.g. on ships or in
mountain lodges, which are not connected directly to
the national grid.
1After installing the appliance, wait at least 1 hour
before connecting it to prevent damaging the
compressor.
2Connect the appliance via a correctly installed
socket.
The socket must comply with the following data:
Outside Europe: Check whether the indicated
current type of the appliance corresponds with the
values of your power supply. Appliance
specifications are on the rating plate.
~"Getting to know your appliance" on page 9
3Connect the appliance to a socket near the
appliance.
The socket must also be freely accessible following
installation of the appliance.
mWarning – Risk of electric shock!
If the length of the mains cable is inadequate, never
use multiple sockets or extension leads.Instead,
please contact Customer Service for alternatives.
Socket with 220 V ... 240 V
Conductor 50 Hz

Storage example
Tips for storing wine
▯Unpack wine bottles – do not store in crates or
cartons in the wine storage compartment.
▯If bottles with natural corks are stored for longer
than 4 weeks, the corks may shrink if the humidity is
too low.
To prevent this from happening, store old wine
bottles so that the cork is kept damp and increase
the humidity level.
~"Humidity" on page 11
▯The open bottle shelves allow continuous air
circulation. As a result, excess humidity is quickly
removed.
▯Before drinking wine, it should be warmed up
slowly (chambré). Take e.g. rosé out of the
appliance approx. 2–5 hours before drinking and
red wine 4–5 hours beforehand. This will ensure
that the wine is at the correct drinking temperature.
White wine on the other hand should be served just
before drinking. Sparkling wine and champagne
should be chilled in the refrigerator for a short
while 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.
