4. Dismount the bottom cover (the build­in snap function in each side can be
unsnapped with the at-headed screw­driver).

5. Place the bottom cover with glass front
down, on an additional support, so the
wires are not stretched.

6. The door LED wires have to be dis­mounted from the connector on the
bottom cover (pure black & black / white
stripe wires). Push the top release down
to free the wire ends. (Note: the pure
black wire is + and corresponds to the
red wire on opposite side. The black /
white stripe wire is 0 (neutral) and corre­sponds to the black wire on the opposite
side – this is important when the wires
are to be mounted later)

7. To reverse the bottom glass, the brackets
need to be removed. Loosen the screw
and the bracket incl. screw and bolt
slides of the plastic prole.

NOTE: Now the glass is loose.

GB

10.Unscrew the lock pin (using the at-hea­ded screwdriver) and remove it.

8. Lift the bottom sheet metal part and turn
the glass so the lock hole ts the other
ends round Ø hole concentric. Place the
sheet metal part on the glass again, and
mount the brackets onto the plastic pro­le in each end again. Don’t over tighten

the screws.

Note: The nut has to t into the centre

groove.

11.Pull up the lock cylinder and ret both
lock cylinder and lock pin in opposite
side.

9. The door has to be moved up from the
hinge.

13.Dismount the bottom hinge pin and t it

on the opposite side.

Note: The bush must also be moved.

12. Pull the LED wires gently out of the bot-

tom hinge pin.

14.Turn the door, so the glass side is down
(Note: Place something between the
glass and the other surface (cabinet) so
scratch are minimized).

Then loosen the gasket on the low end of

the door by pulling.

15. Pull the LED wires up and out.

14

GB

16.Replace the wires into the plastic groove
and lead them to the other side.

17.Push the wires through the oblong hole
and through the new hinge hole.This can
be a bit tricky so try to mount only one
wire rst

18.Then tape the second wire end to the
rst wire and pull them both fully through
(remove tape subsequently).

15

GB

19.Make sure the wires are tted into the
plastic groove and mount the gasket. It’s
important to check that the sealing strip
provides a tight seal all the way round.
If it does not, carefully heat the strip all
the way round using a hair dryer. Then
ease the strip slightly outwards so that it
forms a tight seal against the cabinet. Be
careful not to heat the strip so much that
it melts!

21.Pull the wire through the bushing before
mounting it into the door hinge hole.

20.Dismount the door hinge bushing and
mount it on opposide side.

22.Reverse the door again and displace it
a little on the cabinet proportion to the
botton hinge.

23.Pull the two wires through the bottom

hinge pin....

24.… and through the wire hole in the pla­stic column.

25.Remount the wires (se under # 6) and
make sure that they are rmly secured.

26.Pusch the door back in place over the
hinge pin and pull the wires simultane­ously so the wire do not get stuck.

17

GB

27.Dismount the top door bushing and
mount it on opposite side.

28.Dismount the plastic caps on the top of
the cabinet and mount them on opposite
side.

29.Make sure that the door is aligned with
the cabinet before mounting the top
hinge.

30. Remount the bottom front cover. Place

the unit vertically again and mount the
tow screws (see under # 1).

Note: Important: Wait approx. ½ hour

before connecting the unit to the main
grid.

Note: If the door LEDs don’t give out light

but the top LED in the cabinet is shin­ing, it’s most likely that the wires are not
mounted correctly into the connector.

Operation and function

g. 8

Electronic control

The electronic control ensures that the
temperatures set at the top and at the bot­tom of the appliance are maintained. This is
achieved by means of an advanced control
of the refrigeration system, the heating ele­ment, and the fan. The set temperature will
be stored in the event of power failure.

The electronic control has the following
functions:

● On/o󰀨 switch

● Light switch*

● Temperature setting

● Temperature indication

● Alarm for too high and too low tempera-

tures

● Door alarm

* The light may either be turned on
constantly or only when the door is open.

Temperature indication

The display shows the actual temperature.
The upper digits of the display indicate the
temperature at the top of the appliance, and
the lower digits of the display indicate the
temperature at the bottom of the appliance.
The temperature indicator is equipped with

a built-in lter which simulates the actual
temperature in the bottles. Consequently,
the indicator does not react on short-term
uctuations of the air temperature

Temperature setting

The thermostat is equipped with a child lock
device. This device is activated by pushing
the “up and down” buttons simultaneously.
After approx. 3 seconds “Pof” ashes in the
display. Then the actual temperatures are
shown as usual. In addition, the set tem­peratures can be shown by pushing SET1
and SET2, respectively.

The child lock device is cancelled by push­ing the “up and down” buttons simultane­ously. After approx. 3 seconds “Pon” ashes
in the display, and the temperature can be
set.

Temperature setting at the top
of the appliance

Push SET1. Then the temperature at the
top of the appliance can be adjusted up and
down by means of the “up and down” but­tons. The temperature can be adjusted from
8 to 22°C, however so that the temperature
cannot be set at a lower temperature than
the actual set point for the bottom tempera­ture sensor.

19

GB

Two-zone setting for serving
temperature

Typical serving temperature settings for the
top and bottom sections are 16°C and 6°C
respectively. With these settings, a suitable
temperature gradient will be achieved in
the cabinet for the storage of various types
of wine distributed from top to bottom as
follows:

● heavy red wines +16 to +19°C

● rosé and light red wines +12 to +16°C

● white wines +10 to +12°C

● champagne and sparkling wines +6 to

+8°C

It is recommended that wine be served at a
temperature which is a couple of degrees
lower than the desired drinking temperature
as the wine will be warmed slightly when it
is poured into the glass.

Single-zone setting for long­term storage

For long-term wine storage, the top and bot­tom sections should both be set at 12°C.
With identical settings for the top and bot­tom sections, the controls will maintain an
even temperature throughout the cabinet.
However, the temperature in the room will
gradually a󰀨ect the temperature in the
cabinet through its door and sides, creating
a slight temperature gradient from top to

Temperature setting at the bot­tom of the appliance

Push SET2. Then the temperature at the
bottom of the appliance can be adjusted up
and down by means of the “up and down”
buttons. The temperature can be adjusted
from 5 to 22°C, however so that the tem­perature cannot be set at a higher tempera­ture than the actual set point for the upper
temperature sensor.

Alarm devices

There is a sub-alarm for the low-temper­ature sensor and an excess-alarm for the
high-temperature sensor.

The alarm consists of a beeper and a warn­ing on the display.

Alarm for high temperature: beep sound
+ alternating display of “HtA” and actual
temperature

Alarm for low temperature: beep sound
+ alternating display of “LtA” and actual
temperature

The alarm temperature depends on the set
points.

The beep sound can be cancelled by push­ing a random thermostat button. Push the
on/o󰀨 button to erase the display alarm,
rst for cancelling the alarm, then again for
restarting the compressor.

Door alarm

When the door has been open for more
than 2 minutes the door alarm is activated.

Light

Permanent lighting

For presentation purposes of your wine,
you can turn the lights permanently. Please
press the light switch image twice. To
switch o󰀨 the lights press on again.

Automatic defrosting.

The wine cooler is defrosted automatically.
Defrost water runs through a pipe and is
collected in a tray above the compressor
where the heat generated by the compres­sor causes it to evaporate. The defrost
water tray should be cleaned at intervals.

Cleaning.

Before cleaning the appliance, unplug it
from the main supply. The cabinet is best
cleaned using warm water (max. 65°C) with
a little mild detergent. Never use cleaning
agents that scour. Use a soft cloth. Rinse
with clean water and dry thoroughly. The
defrost water channel, in which condensa­tion from the evaporator runs, is located
at the bottom of the rear inside wall of the
cabinet and must be kept clean. Add a few
drops of disinfectant, e.g. Rodalon, to the
defrost water drain a couple of times a year,
and clean the drain using a pipe cleaner or
similar. Never use sharp or pointed imple­ments.

The sealing strip around the door must be
cleaned regularly to prevent discolouration
and prolong service life. Use clean water.
After cleaning the sealing strip, check that it
continues to provide a tight seal.

Dust collecting on the condenser on the
rear of the cabinet, the compressor and
in the compressor compartment is best
removed using a vacuum cleaner.

and maintenance.

bottom. The controls will maintain the set
temperature at the bottom of the cabinet,
and any deviation from the setting will
therefore occur at the top.
The di󰀨erence will vary from 0 to 3°C, de­pending on the ambient temperature.
