according to the enclosed installation instructions.
, WARNING:
Do not install this appliance:
■ outdoors,
■ in an environment with dripping water,
■ in rooms where there is a risk of frost.
Transporting
The appliances are heavy and must be secured during
transportation and installation.
Because of the weight/dimensions of the appliance
and to minimise the risk of injuries and damage
to the appliance at least two persons are necessary
to set-up the appliance securely.
Installation location
A dry, well ventilated room is suitable as an installation
location. The installation location should not be
exposed to direct sunlight and not placed near a heat
source, e.g. a cooker, 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:

Ventilation
The refrigeration unit is ventilated only via
the ventilation grille in the base. Never cover
the ventilation grille or place anything in front of it.
Otherwise the refrigeration unit must work harder,
increasing the power consumption.
Connecting the appliance
After installing the appliance, wait at least 1 hour until
the appliance starts up. During transportation the oil in
the compressor may have flowed into the refrigeration
system.
Before switching on the appliance for the first time,
clean the interior of the appliance (see chapter
“Cleaning the appliance”).

result in death, fire or an electric shock.
Improper connection of the protective conductor
may result in an electric shock. If you are in
doubt whether the appliance has been grounded
properly, have the appliance tested by
a qualified electrician or service technician.
The socket must be near the appliance and also freely
accessible following installation of the appliance.
The appliance complies with protection class I.
Connect the appliance to 115 V/60 Hz alternating
current via a correctly installed socket with protective
conductor. The socket must be fused with a 10 to 16 A
fuse.

Placing bottles in the refrigerator
Storage example
Practical tips for storing wine
■ Unpack bottles of wine – do not leave in crates
or cardboard boxes – before storing
in the refrigerator compartment.
■ Place old bottles so that the cork is always wet.
There should never be an air gap between the wine
and the cork.
■ The open bottle shelves are especially suitable
because they do not interrupt the air circulation. As
a result, the atmospheric humidity which condenses
on the bottles quickly dries again.
■ Before drinking your wine, let it stand until it reaches
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 as soon as it is poured
into a glass!
Drinking 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:
Type of wine Drinking temperature
Bordeaux red 65 °F (18 °C)
Côtes du Rhône red/
Barolo
Burgundy red/ Bor-
deaux red
Port 59 °F (15 °C)
Young Burgundy red 57 °F (14 °C)
Young red wine 54 °F (12 °C)
Young Beaujolais/all
white wines with little
residual sugar
Old white wines/ Chardonnay
Sherry 49 °F (9 °C)
Young white wines from
late vintage
White wines Loire/Entre-
deux-Mers
