6 Tips and tricks
6 Tips and tricks
6.1 General information on using the appliance
▪ When closing the appliance door, make sure that it closes properly. The self-closing
hinges help keep it closed: The appliance doors close automatically if the opening
angle is between 20–30°.
▪ It can take several hours for the wine to cool down from room temperature to the set
temperature. The more warm bottles there are, the longer it takes.
▪ Changing the temperature setting simply changes the temperature, not the time it
takes for the bottles to cool down.
▪ Placing a warm or cold bottle directly in front of a temperature sensor can affect the
temperature regulation of the refrigerating appliance: it may cool too little or too much.
▪ Ideally, leave the divider shelf in the position it was in when delivered from the factory.
This ensures the best possible temperature distribution.
▪ Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature
in the compartments of the appliance.
6.2 Notes on storage of wine
▪ In the upper cooling zone at 5 to 12°C: White wine, rosé wine, sparkling wine such as
champagne, cava, spumante and Sekt.
▪ In the lower cooling zone at 12 to 18°C: Red wine.
▪ Ideal drinking temperatures:
5-8 °C Champagne, sparkling wine, Sekt, Prosecco
8-12 °C Young white wines (e.g. Chasselas, Müller-Thurgau, Chardonnay, Sil-
vaner, Sauvignon Blanc)
9-15 °C More mature white wines (e.g. Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Riesling)
15-17 °C Young red wines (e.g. Pinot Noir, Merlot, Gamay, Barbera)
17-18 °C Mature red wines (e.g. Cabernet Sauvignon, Barolo)
The lower temperatures are suitable for more simple wines, and the higher ones
for the more complex, better quality wines of each category.
6.3 Notes on saving energy
▪ Only open the appliance door when necessary and keep it open for as short a time as
possible. The sooner the appliance door is closed, the less cold air escapes.
▪ Make sure the appliance door is closed correctly. The door seal must align properly
with the appliance frame.
▪ Do not install the appliance near radiators, heating pipes or flues, and protect it
against direct sunlight.

8 Noises and alarms
8 Noises and alarms
8.1 Operating noise
The appliance can make various noises during operation. Although the appliance is
noise-optimized, some noise cannot be eliminated completely. This noise depends on
the size of the appliance, how it is installed and the cooling requirements (e.g. fast cooling), the ambient temperature and the installation conditions. Operating noises are particularly audible immediately after switching on the compressor; however, these noises become quieter as the appliance runs.
Unusual noises are often caused by improper installation. The appliance must be installed on a level and stable surface. In open kitchens or in the case of appliances installed in partitioned areas, normal operating noises may seem louder. This is not a fault
but rather an effect of the design/architecture.
Keyword Cause Remarks
Buzzing Cooling aggregate Normal operating noise of the cooling aggreg-
ate; level depends on the size of the appliance.
Gurgling, bubbling, hissing
Humming Fan Normal operating noise of forced air cooling.
Humming Air flap Operating noise of the air flap.
Hissing Cooling circuit Normal operating noise as refrigerant is injected
Clinking Load, etc. Arrange the bottles so that they do not touch.
