First use
• Electrical connection: When the wine fridge is properly set up, plug the appliance
into a dedicated 220–240V~ 50Hz wall outlet. Do not under any circumstances cut
or remove the third (earth) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning
power and/or earthing should be directed toward a licensed electrician or our after
sales support centre.
• First cool down: After you have connected the wine fridge to your power supply, set
the desired temperature for the bottle compartment (see page 9). Leave the wine
fridge operating for approximately one to two hours to allow it to reach the set
temperature. During this period of time, try not to open the door frequently.

to two hours of operation before the bottles have cooled to the set temperature.
• Odour: You may notice a slight odour when you first switch on the appliance. This is
due to the parts being new and is no cause for concern. The odour will subside as
the appliance starts to cool.

Instructions (Cont.)
Temperature control
This wine fridge enables you to store your wine in a relatively stable temperature
environment and free from light exposure and vibrations. These are most important
factors when it comes to storing wine. A stable, temperature-appropriate environment
will help maintain the quality of your wine and prevent spoilage.
• Selecting the right temperature: You can store your wine at the most appropriate
serving temperature (see the table below). Set the temperature according to the type
of wine that is mostly stored in the wine fridge.
Type of wine Recommended storage
temperature
Red wine 15º – 18ºC
White wine 11º – 15ºC
Rosé wine 10º – 11ºC
Sparkling wine 8º – 10ºC
• Adjusting the temperature: You can adjust the temperature in the cabinet to
anywhere within the cooling range (8ºC – 18ºC).
To set the temperature, press the UP or DOWN button repeatedly. With
every press, the temperature will increase (or decrease) by one degree. The set
temperature will flash briefly on the LED display, before it shows the current
temperature again.
NOTE: The actual and set temperatures inside the cabinet may fluctuate slightly,
depending on the room temperature, the number of door openings and the frequency
and duration of the interior light being on.
Using the wine fridge
• For maximum loading capacity, place two bottles on the bottom of the cabinet
and two bottles each on each wine rack.
• For efficient operation, do not open the door unnecessarily. Only keep it open for
as long as necessary when removing or adding a bottle.
• For your viewing convenience, the wine fridge has an interior light to help you
check the contents. To activate the light, press the Light ON/OFF button on the
control panel, then press the button again to switch off the light.
• For best wine storage conditions, always leave the interior light off during normal
operation.
