Safety instructions
Risk of electric shock!
• Do not use the appliance outdoors.
NEVER submerse the appliance in water or
other liquids!
• Arrange for defective power plugs and/or cables
to be replaced at once by qualified technicians
or our Customer Service Department.
• Do not fold or crush the power cable. Keep the
power cable well away from sources of heat.
• NEVER grasp the power cable or the power
plug with wet hands.
Risk of personal injury!
• So that you can disconnect the appliance quickly in
the event of an emergency, do not use extension
cables.
• This appliance is not intended for use by individuals
(including children) with restricted physical,
physiological or intellectual abilities or deficiences
in experience and/or knowledge unless they
are supervised by a person responsible for their
safety or receive from this person instruction in
how the appliance is to be used.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance..
Important! Appliance Damage!
• Do NOT place vases or other containers filled
with liquids on the appliance!
• Ensure that the ventilation slits of the appliance
are not covered when it is in use. Risk of overheating! Maintain a clear distance of approx.
15 cm between the ventilation slits and other
objects.
• Do NOT operate the appliance in areas with
high humidity (bathrooms etc.) or in spaces where
explosive or easily inflammable materials or gases
are stored. Rooms which may have poor air
circulation, e.g. garages, are also unsuitable.
• Transport the cooler cabinet ONLY when it is
empty. Remove all bottles before the transportation.
• Do NOT place the appliance close to open flames
or other sources of heat (heating, direct sunlight,
gas stoves etc.).
• NEVER place the appliance in a built-in cupboard,
recesses or similar.
• This appliance is equipped with non-slip rubber
feet. As furniture surfaces are made of a variety
of materials and are treated with many different
types of cleaning agents, it cannot be completely
ruled out that some of these substances may
contain ingredients which could corrode the rubber
rests and soften them. If possible place an antislip material under the feet of the device.

Before the First Use
Assembling the adjustable feet
To assemble the adjustable feet 9 it is best to lay
the cooler cabinet on its side.
Note:
One of the adjustable feet 9 is somewhat shorter
than the other three. This adjustable foot must be
screwed into the threaded hole located to the front
right of the hinge retainer.
• Screw the adjustable feet 9 into the designated
threaded holes at the corners on the underside
of the appliance.
Important!
NEVER operate the appliance without the spacer w!
The ventilation slits could become covered. This
would lead to overheating and cause irreparable
damage to the appliance.
• Screw the spacer w onto the rear of the cooler
cabinet, as shown on the fold-out side.
Placement of the bottle grill
• Slide the bottle grill 0 into the guide rails.
Ensure that the recesses for the bottles point
downwards.
Note:
• Slide the bottle grills 0 along the guide rails until
they engage. If the bottle grills 0 do not engage,
they have been inserted the wrong way round.
• You can also stand the bottles upright in the wine
cooler cabinet. To do this, remove the bottle grills 0.
Placement
Important!
When the appliance is in use, ensure that the ventilation slits and the ventilator q cannot be covered.
Risk of overheating! Maintain a clear distance of
approx. 15 cm between the ventilation slits and
other objects.
Place the wine cooler cabinet on to a clean and
level surface.
Should the wine cooler cabinet sway a little, the
unevenness of the footprint can be levelled by calibration of the adjustment feet 9. For this, turn the
appropriate adjustment foot 9 until the wine cooler
cabinet is standing firmly.

Operation
Temperature control of wine
With this wine cooler cabinet you can tune it to operate
at temperatures between 4°C and 22°C.
Tips:
• Subject to the ambient temperature, the appliance
effects a maximum cooling of 15°C. The lowest
attainable temperature lies by 4°C. This means
that, if you want to cool beverages down to 4°C,
the ambient temperature may amount to no more
than 19°C.
• You should therefore place the wine cooler cabinet
at the coolest possible location, one that is not
warmed up by the sun.
• Do NOT place it adjacent to heat-radiating
appliances such as heating elements or stoves.
• The appliance cannot effect a warm-up. If the
room temperature is cooler than the adjusted
temperature, the refrigeration switches itself off.
The temperature then comes to a maximum of
the ambient room temperature.
• To achieve a good cooling performance, lay at
least three bottles in the appliance.
1. Insert the power plug 8 into a wall socket.
Ensure that the power being supplied from the
wall socket tallies with the power details given
on the type plate.
2. Press the button ON/OFF 5. After a brief
moment the display 1 shows the interior temperature of the wine cooler cabinet.
3. Press either the button 2 or 3 to set
the desired temperature.
The display 1 blinks and shows the programmed
temperature. When you stop pressing the button
the blinking stops and the display 1 shows
once again the current interior temperature.
The wine cooler cabinet now slowly cools down
to the programmed temperature.
• To switch the wine cooler cabinet off, press the
button On/Off 5. The programmed tempe-
rature is erased. With the next switch-on of the
appliance the temperature must be once again
programmed in.
Tip!
Always fill the wine cooler cabinet from the bottom
to the top. This will cool the bottles faster.
Illumination
If you wish, you can switch on illumination in the
interior of the wine cooler cabinet. For this, press
the Light 4 button. When you wish to switch
the light off, press the button Light 4 once
again.
Note:
Illumination contributes to a warming of the interior.
Therefore, switch the lighting off if it is not needed.
This also saves energy!
Important!
As the light diodes in the interior of the wine cooler
cabinet have an extremely long lifespan it is not
necessary, and also not possible, to exchange them.
The light diodes are firmly assembled into the illumination. Under no circumstances should you open
the illumination! This would irreparably damage the
appliance.

These could damage the upper surfaces!
Clean the wine cooler cabinet and the bottle grills 0
with a moist cloth.
For stubborn soiling use a mild detergent on the
cloth.

condensed water could be deposited in the interior
of the wine cooler cabinet. Wipe it off with a dry
cloth.
