IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
WARNING
m
When using this appliance, always
exercise basic safety precautions,
including the following:
1. Use this appliance only for its
intended purpose as described
in this Owner's Manual.
2. This refrigerator must be
properly installed in accordance
with the Installation Instructions
before it is used.
3. Do not allow children to climb,
stand or hang on the shelves in
the refrigerator. They could
seriously injure themselves and
damage the refrigerator.
4. After your refrigerator is in
operation, do not touch the cold
surfaces in the refrigerator
compartment, particularly when
hands are damp or wet. Skin
may adhere to these extremely
cold surfaces.
5. Do not store or use gasoline or
other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any
other appliance.
6. Unplug your refrigerator before
cleaning and making repairs.
NOTE: We strongly recommend
that any servicing be performed
by a qualified individual.
7. Before replacing a burned-out
light bulb, set the power switch
in the OFF position to turn off the
lights in order to avoid contact
with a live wire filament.
8. A burned-out light bulb may
break when being replaced.
NOTE: Setting the refrigerator
temperature controls to OFF
does not remove power to the
light circuit.
m WARNING
RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
Child entrapment and suffocation
are not problems of the past. Junked
or abandoned refrigeration products
are still dangerous... even if they will
sit for “just a few days.” If you are
getting rid of your old appliance,
please follow these instructions to
help prevent accidents.
Before you throw away your old
refrigeration product:
– Take off the doors.
– Leave the shelves in place so that
children may not easily climb
inside.
Electrical Connection
The appliance comes with an UL
listed, 3-wire power supply cord.
The appliance requires a 3-wire
receptacle.
The receptacle must be installed by
a licensed electrician only.
Grounding instruction
This appliance must be grounded.
In the event of a malfunction or
breakdown, grounding will reduce
the risk of electric shock by providing
a path of least resistance for the
electric current.
Improper connection of the
equipment grounding conductor
may result in electric shock. Have the
appliance checked by a qualified
electrician or service technician if you
are in doubt as to whether the
appliance has been properly
grounded.
Some local regulations may require
a separate ground. In such cases,
the required accessory ground wire,
clamp and screw must be
purchased separately.
Never ground the appliance to
plastic plumbing lines, gas lines or
water pipes.
3
CFC DISPOSAL
Your old refrigerator may have
a cooling system that used CFC's
(chlorofluorocarbons).
CFC's are believed to harm
stratospheric ozone.
If you are throwing away an old
refrigeration product, make sure the
CFC refrigerant is removed for
proper disposal by a qualified
servicer. If you intentionally release
this CFC refrigerant, you can be
subject to fines and imprisonment
under provisions of environmental
legislation.
IMPORTANT
Save these instructions for local
inspector's use. Observe all
governing codes and ordinances.
Note to installer –
Be sure to leave these instructions
with the consumer.
Note to consumer –
Keep these instructions with your
Owner's Manual for future reference.

Installation
m
Do not install the appliance:
– outdoors,
– in an environment with dripping
water,
– in rooms which are at risk of
frost.
The appliance is very heavy – for
empty weight see following table:
– Wine unit 18": 300 Ibs / 135 kg
WARNING
Installation room
The appliance should be installed in
a dry, well ventilated room.
The ambient temperature should not
drop below 55 °F (13 °C) or rise
above 110 °F (43 °C), otherwise
malfunctions may occur.
The installation location should not
be exposed to direct sunlight and not
placed near a heat source, such as
an oven, radiator, etc.
If installation next to a heat source is
unavoidable, use a suitable
insulating plate or observe the
following minimum distances from
the heat source:
– 1.2" (3 cm) from an electric
cooker,
– 12" (30 cm) from an oil or
solid-fuel cooker.
Installation cavity
It is important to observe the
specified dimensions of the
installation cavity for a trouble-free
installation of the appliance and for
the subsequent general view of the
furniture front.
In particular ensure that the cavity is
square. Squareness can be checked
by suitable means, e.g. spirit level,
diagonal measurements, etc.
m
Furniture/fixtures
The new appliance will be mounted
securely to adjacent and overhead
furniture/fixtures.
For this reason it is essential that all
attachable furniture/fixtures are
connected securely to the base or
the wall by suitable means.
Base
To ensure that the appliance is
installed securely and functions
properly, the base must be fiat and
level.
The base must be made of a hard,
rigid material.
The installation area must be the
same height as the rest of the room.
On account of the heavy weight of
a fully loaded appliance, a loadbearing base is required.
For fully-loaded weight see the
following table:
– Wine unit 18": 550 Ibs / 245 kg
If in doubt, contact an architect or
a building expert.

Practical tips
Drinking
How to save
for storing wine
– Always unpack bottles of wine –
do not store in crates or boxes.
– Place old bottles so that the cork
is always wet. There should never
be an air gap between the wine
and the cork.
– The correct air humidity is a
decisive factor for conserving
wine well. Using the Humidity
function (see “Settings which can
be changed in Setup mode”) you
can raise the air humidity in the
compartments if necessary,
separately from one another. This
prevents the cork from possibly
drying out.
– Before you enjoy your wine, you
should first subject it slowly to
room temperature.
For example rosé takes about two
to five hours and red wine four to
five hours before they reach the
right drinking temperature. The
wine will then be at the correct
drinking temperature. Sparkling
wine and Champagne should be
cooled in the refrigerator shortly
before drinking.
– Remember that wine should
always be cooled slightly lower
than the ideal serving
temperature, as its temperature
increases by 34 °F to 36 °F
(+1 °C to +2 °C) as soon as it is
poured into a glass!
temperatures
The correct serving temperature is
crucial for the taste and therefore
your enjoyment of the wine.
We recommend serving wine at the
following drinking temperatures:

cool down before placing them in
the appliance.
– Defrost frozen food by placing it in
the refrigerator. The Iow
temperature of the frozen food will
refrigerate the food in the
refrigerator compartment.
– Open the appliance door as
briefly as possible!
