Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing
material
The packaging is designed to protect
the appliance from damage during
transportation. The packaging materials
used are selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and should be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also
reduces the amount of waste in landfill
sites.
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain valuable materials. They
also contain materials which, if handled
or disposed of incorrectly, could be
potentially hazardous to human health
and to the environment. They are,
however, essential for the correct
functioning of your appliance. Please
do not therefore dispose of it with your
household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre or contact your dealer for
advice. Ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.
Take care not to damage the pipework
at the back of it before or during
transportation to an authorised
collection depot.
In this way, refrigerant in the pipework
and oil in the compressor will be
contained, and will not leak out into the
environment.

compressor, you might be able to hear the coolant flowing around
the system. This is unavoidable, and does not have any adverse
effect on the performance of the appliance.
Care must be taken during the transportation and installation of the
appliance that no parts of the cooling system are damaged.
Splashes of coolant can injure the eyes.
In the event of any damage:
– avoid any open flames or anything which creates a spark,
–
disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply,
–
ventilate the room where the appliance is located for several
minutes, and
–
call the Service Department for advice.
The more coolant there is in an appliance, the larger the room it
~
should be installed in. In the event of a leakage, if the appliance is in
a small room, there is the danger of combustible gases building up.
For every8gofcoolant at least 1 m
amount of coolant in the appliance is stated on the data plate inside
the appliance.

The ideal temperature and humidity level
Wine keeps on maturing depending on
the surrounding conditions. The length
of time for which wine can be kept in
good condition will therefore depend
not only on the temperature but also on
the air quality.
The wine conditioning unit, with its
constant ideal temperature, increased
air humidity and odour-free
atmosphere, offers the perfect
conditions for storing your wine.
Temperature
Wine can be stored at a temperature
between 5°C and 18°C. If you wish to
store red and white wines together,
select a temperature between 10 and
12°C. Most white wines are palatable at
this temperature. It is best to take red
wine out of the appliance about two
hours before drinking. Open the wine to
allow it to breathe and to develop its
aroma. After two hours, red wine will be
at the correct temperature for drinking.
Setting the temperature
The zones are set ex-works for the
following types of storage:
Upper zone:
–
for storing red wine (16 °C)
Middle zone:
–
for storing white wine (10 °C)
Lower zone:
–
for storing wine for a longer period of
time (11 °C)
You can adjust the zones to your
requirements, for example if you wish to
store white wine in the upper zone.
Simply set the relevant temperature
specification as follows:
^ Touch the sensor for the zone you
wish to change so that it is
highlighted in yellow.
A storage temperature of over 22°C
causes wine to mature too quickly.
Wine should not be stored below 5°C
for a long period of time as it will not
mature fully at this low temperature.
Fluctuations in temperature put wine
under stress and interrupt the maturing
process. It is therefore very important to
maintain a constant temperature.
^
Then touch the sensor for the type of
storage you wish to select (long-term,
white wine or red wine storage) so
that it is highlighted in yellow.
Although you can use the lower
zone for white wine if you wish, it is
not possible to select the white wine
symbol for the lower zone.
19
The ideal temperature and humidity level
It is possible to set the exact
temperature individually in each zone.
The zones are set up ex works to store
red wine, white wine and for long-term
storage.
The settings can be altered to your
requirements.
Touch the sensor for the zone you
^
wish to change so that it is
highlighted in yellow.
^ The temperature inside the appliance
can be selected by touching the
arrow sensors on either side of the
temperature display.
If the highest or lowest temperature that
it is possible to set is reached, the X or
Y sensor will disappear from the
display.
The temperature display in the
control panel always shows the
required temperature.
Once you have altered the temperature,
check the temperature after a few
hours. It will take this long for the
appliance to reach the temperature. If,
after this time, the temperature is still
too high or too low, you will need to
adjust it again.
Temperature ranges for each of the
zones
– Upper zone:
5°Cto18°C
– Middle zone:
5°Cto18°C
The temperature set at the factory for
the zone concerned is highlighted in
yellow.
By touching the
X sensor: the temperature will get
colder
Y sensor: the temperature will get
warmer.
–
Touching the sensor once:
adjusts the temperature shown in
1 °C steps.
–
Keeping your finger on the sensor:
changes the temperature
continuously.

The ideal temperature and humidity level
Isolator plates for thermal
separation
The appliance has two fixed isolator
plates which divide the cabinet into
three different temperature zones. This
enables you to store three different
types of wine at the same time, e.g. red
wine, white wine and Champagne.
Setting the correct temperature is
important to the taste of the wine.
The following temperatures are
recommended for the different types of
wine:
Red wine: 14 °C to 18 °C
Rosé wine: 10 °C to 12 °C
White wine: 8 °C to 12 °C
Sparkling white
wines:
Champagne: 5 °C to 7 °C
7°Cto9°C

Celsius for the temperature
The temperature can be displayed in
degrees Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit.
Touch the access sensor so that it is
^
highlighted in yellow.
^ Touch the sensor for one of the zones
(it does not matter which) so that it is
highlighted in yellow.
^ Take note of the position of the X
sensor (but do not touch it!).
^ Touch the access sensor until it is
highlighted in white and all of the
other sensors are no longer lit up.
^
Place your finger in the position of the
X sensor, and leave it there.
^
At the same time, briefly touch the
access sensor (without letting go of
the X sensor).
