appliance must not be installed outdoors.
The appliance should be placed on a level
surface in a dry, well ventilated room (max.
75% relative air humidity). Never place the
appliance close to sources of heat such as
cookers or radiators, and avoid placing it in
direct sunlight.
Climate class is stated on the name plate.
This specifi es the optimum ambient tempe-
rature.

Wiring and connections in power supply
systems must meet all applicable (local and
national) electrical codes. Consult these
codes prior to cabinet installation.
Connect the appliance only to 220/240 V
/ 50Hz alternating current via a correctly
installed earthed socket.
The socket should be freely accessible.
Information regarding voltage, current or
power are given on the rating plate
The power cord may be replaced by a
technician only.
CAUTION: Never put the appliance in a
location that is too cold or unprotected, for
example in a garage or on a verandah.
The rating plate provides various technical
information as well as type and serial
number.

The surface on which the appliance is to be
placed must be level. Do not use a frame or
similar.
The appliance can be installed as a free-
standing unit against a wall, built into a
closet or lined up with other appliances.
It is important that the appliance be
well ventilated and that air can circulate
unhindered above, below and around it.
The fi gures below illustrate how the
necessary air circulation around the
appliance can be ensured (fi g 4).
Ensure the socket is accessible when the
appliance is in position, or a switch is incor-
porated in the fi xed wiring according to the
wiring rules. (See a licensed electrician for
further advice).

Anti-tip
It is recommended to install the supplied
anti-tip device to avoid the unit from tipping
over.
The appliance must be securely attached to
the wall by the anti-tip bracket device. The
hardware used to secure your appliance to
the wall depends on your wall material and
will need to be sourced separately to suit
the specifi c installation.
Use gloves during installation.
If there is not enough space (min 60 mm)
over the appliance turn the bracket upside
down.
Setting up
It is important that the appliance be
absolutely level. It can be levelled by
screwing the adjustable feet at the front of
the appliance up or down (fi g. 6).
Use a spirit level to check that the appliance
is absolutely level sideways.

Shelves and loading

To optimise the storage capacity of your
wine cabinet it has been designed so that
only Bordeaux style bottles can be stored
on the outer position of the shelf.
The top fi xed shelf in the VWM306PBA
cabinet is designed for 2 or 3 rows of 10
bottles (20 or 30 bottles). However 3 rows
will result in approximately 3 mm defl ection
which is normal and will not damage the
shelf.

Operation and function
fi g. 9
Electronic control
The electronic control ensures that the
temperatures set at the top and at the bot-
tom of the appliance are maintained. This is
achieved by means of an advanced control

ment, and the fan. The set temperature will
be stored in the event of power failure.
The electronic control has the following
functions:
● Light switch *
● Temperature setting
● Temperature indication
● Alarm for too high and too low tempera-
tures
● Door alarm / Filter alarm
● Muliti / Single / Cellar mode
● Child lock
● Sabbath mode
* The light may either be turned on
constantly or only when the door is open.

Automatic defrosting
The wine cabinet is defrosted automatically.
Defrost water runs through a pipe and is
collected in a tray above the compressor
where the heat generated by the compres-
sor causes it to evaporate. The defrost
water tray should be cleaned at intervals.
Cleaning
Before cleaning the appliance, unplug it
from the main supply. The cabinet is best
cleaned using warm water (max.65°C) with
a little mild detergent. Never use cleaning
agents that scour. Use a soft cloth. Rinse
with clean water and dry thoroughly. The
defrost water channel, in which condensa-
tion from the evaporator runs, is located
at the bottom of the rear inside wall of the
cabinet and must be kept clean. Add a few
drops of disinfectant, to the defrost water
drain a couple of times a year, and clean
the drain using a pipe cleaner or similar.
Never use sharp or pointed implements.
The sealing strip around the door must be
cleaned regularly to prevent discolouration
and prolong service life. Use clean water.
After cleaning the sealing strip, check that it
continues to provide a tight seal.
Dust collecting on the condenser on the
rear of the cabinet, the compressor and
in the compressor compartment is best
removed using a vacuum cleaner.
