for about 4 hours. Otherwise the
compressor may sustain damage. This
time will allow the oil sufficient time to

switch.
Setting the temperature
Press the buttons until the desired temperature
flashes in the temperature display (The temperature

temperature inside the cabinet.
NOTE: The controllable area is limited by a
room temperature of 17°C or below.

Wine Placement
Storage tips
The amount of time to store wine depends on its
maturity, type of grape, alcohol content, and dissolved fructose and tannins. When purchasing your
wine, find out whether it is mature or if it will improve over time.
In the lower part of the cooler. Cold air prolongs
the time to maturity. Accordingly, store old and mature wine as well as wine you would like to s tore for
a long time in the lower portion of the cooler. The
lower part should also be used to store wine that is
to be served cold.
In the upper part of the cooler. In the upper part,
store wine that you wish to let further mature, wines
that are served at a warmer temperature, and those
wines you intend to consume relatively soon.
Store the bottles lying down so that the corks do
not dry out.
Store the wine in the dark. The cooler doors are
made with double-paned glass with a dark coating.
This will protect the wine against light damage if the
cooler is placed in a well-lit area.

Avoid turning on the light in the cooler too often
or for too long. The wine should be stored in the
dark.
Handle the bottles with care, so that the wine is
not agitated.
Heed any advice and recommendations given at
the time of purchase or in the professional literature
concerning the wine's quality, durability and optimal
storage temperature.
Recommended storage temperatures:
- for white wines +10 to +12°C
- for rosé wines and light red wines +12 t o +16°C
- for champagne and sparkling wines +6 to +8°C
If you stack several bottles on top of one another,
make sure they do not touch the cabinet's cooling
plate.
