Controls
The unit is activated by connecting it to the mains. It is only switched off completely when the plug is
removed from the wall socket.
In position '0', the cooling function is switched off, though the appliance is still connected to the
mains.
The temperature in the cabinet can be adjusted by setting the temperature control.
Turning the control clockwise will decrease the temperature, while turning it anti-
clockwise will increase it.
After switching on, the temperature control should be set to position 5. After approx.
20 minutes, the setting should be changed to position 3. This setting is usually
sufficient for normal use.
Following a power interruption, or if the unit has been switched off on purpose, always wait 3 to 5
minutes before switching on again. The unit cannot be re-activated without this delay.
Storing wine
– The temperature in the cabinet largely depends on factors such as the ambient temperature, the
setting and the number of wine bottles stored.
– Turn the temperature control to the desired position.
– Always ensure that the door is properly closed and that the seal is not obstructed by bottles
stored inside the cabinet.
De-frosting and cleaning
The integral evaporator is sealed in foam within the walls; you may therefore notice a build-up of frost
around the rear area. This layer of frost will start melting when the compressor is not working.
Through a system of hoses, the melt-water drains into the collection tray below the compressor, where
it will be absorbed into the surrounding air. The unit does not therefore require de-frosting, but only
proper cleaning.
 To enable the melt-water to drain freely, always ensure that the channel and discharge opening in
the cabinet are free of any blockage.
Cleaning the unit / periods of non-use
– remove the plug from the wall socket
– remove the bottles from the cabinet
– leave the door open
To prevent any unpleasant odour within the cabinet, it should be cleaned at least every two months.
The surfaces and the drain channel may be cleaned with warm water. If necessary, a mild detergent
can be used. Wipe thoroughly dry and air out afterwards.
Take care not to remove or damage the rating plate inside the cabinet during cleaning.
Any dust deposits around the ventilation slots on the outside of the unit should be regularly removed using
a suitable brush or a vacuum cleaner. The build-up of dust will otherwise cause an increase in energy
consumption.
Remark: Do not use abrasive tools, materials containing alcohol or harsh cleaning solutions. Do not
use any electrical appliances, such as steam cleaners, for de-frosting or cleaning.
