Before use Before using for the first time Turning the appliance off ^ Clean the inside of the appliance and the accessories with a mild solution of warm water and liquid dish soap. Dry with a soft cloth. ^ Press the On/Off button until the control panel go out. After installing the unit, wait at least 30 minutes before switching it on. During transport, the fluids in the refrigeration system may have shifted, and will need some time to settle. Turning the appliance on ^ Open the appliance door.
Optimum temperature and air quality Wine will continue to mature depending on the surrounding conditions. The length of time which wine can be kept in good condition will therefore depend not only on the temperature but also on the air quality. The wine storage unit provides a constant temperature, increased humidity and an odor-free environment, creating the best possible storage conditions for your wine. Temperature Wine can be stored at temperatures between 41°F and 64°F (5 - 18°C).
Optimum temperature and air quality ^ Press the temperature selector (+/-) buttons for the upper zone to select either Fahrenheit °F or Celsius °C: When pressing the buttons, the following changes will appear in the respective temperature display: ^ To save the setting, press the constant humidity button. – When first pressed: The last temperature selected flashes. – Each subsequent press of the button: adjusts the temperature in increments of 1 °. ^ To exit the settings mode, press the On/Off button.
Optimum temperature and air quality Temperature display During normal operating, the temperature displays indicate the temperatures inside the unit. The temperature display will flash if: – a different temperature is being set, – the temperature in one section deviates from the set temperature by more than 5 °. Setting the temperature display brightness The factory set brightness of the temperature display is set at the lowest setting.
Optimum temperature and air quality Humidity Turning on In a conventional refrigerator, the humidity levels are too low for storing wines. High humidity levels (60 - 70 %) are very important for the storage of wine, so that the corks remain moist. Under low humidity, the corks dry out from the outside and can no longer seal the bottles properly. This is why wine bottles should always be stored lying down, so that the wine can keep the corks moistened from within.
Optimum temperature and air quality Air exchange through the activate charcoal filter External air passes through the filter before entering the unit. The active charcoal filter ensures that only clean, odor-free air enters the unit, creating additional protection against odor contamination. The filter will need to be changed periodically, or when odors are present in the unit. See "Cleaning and Care - Active charcoal filter" for more information.
Interior lighting Adjusting the brightness Do not remove the light covers for the display lighting. Should the lighting covers be damaged or need to be removed due to damage, do not look directly or with an optical instrument at the lighting. The brightness of the interior lighting can be adjusted. ^ Press and hold the interior lighting button. Turning on the interior lighting Generally, wine should be stored in dark conditions.
Storing wine bottles Storage tips Maximum capacity – Always unpack bottles – do not store wine in crates or boxes. The unit can hold approx. 38 bottles (0.75 l). – Any vibration or movement of a wine bottle can interrupt the natural breathing process of the wine, which affects the taste. – 15 in the upper zone – Always lay bottles on their side for storage. This keeps the corks moist from the inside, preventing air from entering.
Alarm The appliance is equipped with an alarm system, to ensure that the temperature does not rise or fall unnoticed because of energy loss or an open door. The alarm system is always operational, it does not need to be turned on. Temperature alarm An alarm will sound if the temperature in one of the zones rises or falls outside the set temperature range. The temperature display for the affected zone(s) will flash while the alarm sounds. The set temperature determines when the alarm will activate.
