Operationandfunction.

g. 9

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/off switch

● Light switch*

● Temperature setting

● Temperature indication

● Alarm for too high and too low tempera-

tures

* 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.

10

GB

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 “Hi” and actual
temperature

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

The alarm temperature depends on the set
points. However, at position 5 of the sub­alarm is always 3 degrees. It is activated if
the temperature has been below 3°C for 10
minutes.

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

Light

When you open the door of your cabinet,
the lights turn on in the winecooler.

In the temperature display image is

displayed when the light is lit.

To turn off the lights, press once

Permanentlighting

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

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 affect the temperature in the

Defrosting,cleaning
andmaintenance.

cabinet through its door and sides, creating
a slight temperature gradient from top to
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 difference will vary from 0 to 3°C, de­pending on the ambient temperature.

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.
