Congratulations on your purchase of this wine cooler. In buying this product, which is
distinguished by its perfect user-friendliness, impeccable reliability and high quality, you
have chosen a top class appliance. We wish you a lot of pleasure with your new wine
cooler – and a lot of enjoyment from your wines.
The fewer the grapes produced in an area, the
better the wine.
Poor, well-drained soils are best for good wines. The properties of the soil influence the
vitality of the vine, which in turn affects the quality of the grape. Climate is another
factor that is important for wine. Because light and air humidity are important for the
development of the flavour of the wine.
The right environment for your wines.
A vine is an extremely sensitive plant. From the time it is planted to its maturing period
and the time the grapes are harvested and the wine is made, it is dependent on three factors: light, air humidity and ambient temperature. This sensitivity continues even once
the wine is bottled. To allow the flavour of the wine to fully develop or to preserve the
excellent aroma, the wine has to be stored perfectly – and your wine cooler offers the
best conditions for this.

Air exchange with activated carbon filter
The way in which wines continue to mature depends on
the ambient conditions. The quality of the air is therefore
decisive for preserving the wine. An activated carbon
filter has been fitted in the lower area of the rear wall of
the appliance to ensure that the air throughput remains
at an optimum quality.
We recommend that you replace the filter once a year.
Filters can be obtained from your dealer.
Changing the filter: Take the filter by the handle. Turn it
90° to the left or right and remove.

Humidifier
The right humidity is vitally important for the proper storage of wine. Your wine
cooler is fitted with a special humidifying device that increases the humidity inside the
appliance.
Spread out the lava stones provided along the defrost water drain gulley along the bottom of the interior. Make sure the drain pipe is not blocked. Then fill the gulley with
water up to the top edge of the pipe.
In normal operation, the lava stones are
regularly humidified by the defrost water
that accumulates in the appliance. Note that
if the humidity in the area in which your appliance is installed is particularly high, the
interior of your wine cooler will also be relatively more humid. This may result in bottles
misting up when the door is opened or labels
peeling off.

Defrosting
The appliance defrosts automatically. The water that forms on the rear wall drains
into a reservoir at the back of the appliance and evaporates automatically through the
compressor heat.
Cleaning
Before cleaning always switch off the appliance. Pull out the mains plug or remove/
unscrew the fuse.
Never use abrasive or acidic cleaning agents or chemical solvents. We recommend the
use of an all-purpose cleaner with neutral pH.
Do not use steam cleaners because of the risk of injury and damage.
• Do not use abrasive sponges or scourers, do not use concentrated cleaning agents and
never use cleaning agents containing sand, chloride or acid or chemical solvents, as
these would damage the surfaces and could cause corrosion.
• Use a glass cleaner to clean the glass surfaces and a commercially available stainlesssteel cleaning agent for the stainless-steel surfaces.
• Clean the inside and equipment with lukewarm water and a little detergent, with the
exception of the wooden trims on the grid shelves.
• Ensure that no cleaning water penetrates into the electrical components.
• Dry all parts well with a cloth.
• Do not remove the type plate from the inside of the appliance; it is important for
after-sales servicing.

Malfunctions
Your appliance is designed and manufactured for a lengthy, reliable operating life with
no malfunctions. If a malfunction nonetheless occurs during operation, check whether
it is due to an operating error. Please note that even during the warranty period the
resultant servicing costs in this case will have to be borne by the owner.
You may be able to rectify the following faults by checking the possible causes your
self:
• Appliance does not function:
- Check that the appliance is properly connected to the mains.
- Is the socket fuse intact?
• Loud running noise: Check that the appliance is standing firmly on the ground.
Please note that it is impossible to avoid flowing noises in the refrigeration circuit.
• The temperature inside your wine cooler is too warm: Check the setting in accord
ance with the section "Setting the temperature".
- Does the separately installed thermometer show the correct reading?
- Is the air extraction working properly?
- Is the wine cooler too close to a heat source?
• Please note that, as can happen with other forms of storage, slight mould may form
depending on the type of adhesive on the labels. This can be rectified by carefully cleaning
any adhesive residues off the bottles.
If none of the above causes apply and you cannot rectify the fault yourself, contact the nearest
customer service department stating the type
of appliance, index and appliance number
as indicated on the type plate. The type plate is
located on the left-hand inside wall.
