refrigerant, it is essential to ensure that the
refrigerant pipes are not damaged.
Standard EN378 species that the room in
which you install your appliance must have
a volume of 1m³ per 8 g of hydrocarbon
refrigerant used in the appliances. This is

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
● 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 tem-
peratures 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 tempera-
ture sensor.

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 tempera-
ture 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 warn-
ing 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 push-
ing 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.
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

switch off the lights press on
twice. To
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 bot-
tom sections, the controls will maintain an
even temperature throughout the cabinet.
However, the temperature in the room will
gradually affect the temperature in the
cabinet through its door and sides, creating

V190SG2E-BK9

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.
Defrosting, cleaning
and maintenance.
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 condensa-
tion 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.

Warranty disclaimer
Faults and damage caused directly or
indirectly by incorrect operation, misuse,
insufcient maintenance, incorrect building,
installation or mains connection. Fire, accident, lightening, voltage variation or other
electrical interference, including defective
fuses or faults in mains installations.
Repairs performed by others than approved
service centres and any other faults and
damage that the manufacturer can sub-
stantiate are caused by reasons other than
manufacturing or material faults are not
covered by the warranty.
Please note that changes to the construction of the appliance or changes to the
component equipment of the appliance will
invalidate warranty and product liability, and

is primarily a matter to be settled between
the buyer and the distributor, i.e. the dis-
tributor must ensure that such complaints
are resolved to the buyer’s satisfaction.
Before calling for technical assistance,
please check whether you are able to rectify
the fault yourself. If your request for assistance is unwarranted, e.g. if the appliance
