Once set, the temperature display shows the current
temperature inside the cabinet.
NOTE: The controllable area is limited by a
room temperature of 17°C or below.
Allow t he cabinet to run for a period of 24 hours
whenever the temperature setting is changed. This
will allow the temperature to stabilise inside the
cabinet.

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.
GB

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.
Electrolux 818 37 80-01/7

Measuring the temperature
If the temperature is measured using a standard,
single thermometer, this should be put in a glass of
water centrally placed inside the cabinet. This will
reflect the temperature inside the food products. Do
not place the thermometer hanging or lying directly
on the shelf.
Switching off
Switch off the cabinet by pressing the power switch.
Keep the button pressed for approx. 1 second.
Power to the cabinet is completely
interrupted only when the power plug is
disconnected.
Alarms and other features
Door open alarm
If the fridge door remains open for more than 5
minutes, the red warning lamp starts flashing and an
audible alarm sounds.
To switch off the alarm:
Press the "alarm shut-off button". The red warning
lamp goes out when the door is closed.
12
Lighting
The cooler lighting may be turned on with the door
closed. This makes it easy to survey the contents of
the cooler without opening the door. The cooler
lighting should normally be off, so that the wine is
not unduly exposed to light. The lighting turns off
automatically after about 5 minutes.
Cabinet interior
The shelves may be placed flat or at an angle.
Angle the shelf by placing the front pegs in a lower
set of tracks. You can store already opened bottles on
the shelf in this position.
The drawer has two moveable partitions.
Hints and Tips
Saving energy
·Pay careful attention to where the cabinet is
placed. See the section "Installation". When
installed correctly, the cabinet will consume less
energy.
·Try to avoid keeping the door open for long
periods, or opening the door too frequently as
warm air will enter the cabinet, and cause the
compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
·Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the
door from closing properly.
·It is advisable to periodically clean the
refrigeration system at the back of the appliance
with a duster or vacuum cleaner.
·Make sure the door gasket is complete and
always clean.

GB
Food Storage
·To obtain the best results from your appliance,
neither hot foods nor liquids which may
evaporate, should be placed in the larder
compartment.

straight away. The use of an insulated container is
advisable. When you arrive home place the
frozen food in the freezer immediately.
·Ensure that food placed in the freezer is dated and
labelled and used in date order to ensure that food
is consumed at its best.
Remove suspect food from you refrigerator and
clean, refer to cleaning and maintenance.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Removing the ventilation grille
The ventilation grille can be removed, e.g. to wash
the grille.
Make sure the door is open when removing the
ventilation grille. Unsnap the upper edge of the grille
by pulling outward/downward. Then pull the grille
straight out to completely remove it.
Cleaning
Clean the cabinet at regular intervals.
Don't use detergents, abrasive powders,
high perfumed cleaning products, wax
polishes or cleaning products
containing bleach or alcohol when
cleaning the product
Disconnect the appliance from electricity supply.
Clean out the drip channel inside the wine cooler at
regular intervals and ensure that the drip channel is
clear at all times. If blocked carefully clear using a
piece of flexible curtain wire inserted into the drain
outlet to remove the blockage.
Clean the inside and accessories with warm water
and bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0,5 litre water)
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to
ensure they are clean and free from debris.
Drawer.
Pull out drawer.
Lift it over the locks in back on the sliding guides.
Tip drawer downwards and pull it out.
Clean.
Assemble in reverse order.
Clean off the interior wooden details with a moist
rag and mild kitchen soap. Do not soak the wood.
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water.
Remove the ventilation grille (see the section
"Removing the ventilation grille") and vacuum-clean
under the cabinet. Once or twice a year dust the
condenser (black grille) and the compressor at the
back of the appliance, with a brush or vacuum
cleaner, as an accumulation of dust will affect the
performance of the appliance and cause excessive
electricity consumption.
GB
When moving the cabinet, lift it by
the front edge to avoid scratching the
floor.
Defrosting the wine cooler
The wine cooler is defrosted automatically every time the compressor stops. Frost formation can be prevented
by:
·not putting warm foodstuff inside the cabinet.
·avoiding frequently opening the door or keeping it open too long.
Electrolux 818 37 80-01/7

To change the light bulb
Before replacing the light bulb, disconnect the power
plug from the outlet.
Fold the grille backward by unsnapping the front
edge.
Use a bulb of the same type, E14 socket, maximum
ratingof25W.
When the appliance is not in use
Disconnect the appliance from electricity supply.
Empty all foods and clean the appliance, leaving the
doors ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.
If the cabinet will be kept on, ask somebody to
check it once in a while to prevent the food inside
from spoiling in case of a power failure.
