Please note:
∙ 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.
∙ The temperature in the cooling compartment depends
on the ambient temperature and the number of wine
bottles inside it.
∙ Always ensure that the door is properly closed and that
the seal is not obstructed by bottles stored inside the
cabinet.
∙ Following a power interruption, or if the unit has been
switched off on purpose, it may take 3 to 5 minutes

De-frosting and cleaning
During operation, you may notice a build-up of frost around
the integral evaporator sealed into the rear of the inside
cabinet. 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.
∙ Any water collecting in the bottom should be removed.
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.
∙ Always remove the plug from the wall socket before
cleaning.
∙ Do not pour water over or inside the unit.
∙ For frequent cleaning we recommend the use of warm
water with some mild detergent.
∙ The cabinet should be cleaned once a month.
∙ Any accessories should be cleaned separately with
soapy water. Do not put them in a dishwasher.
∙ After cleaning, thoroughly clean all surfaces with fresh
water before wiping them completely dry. When re-
inserting the plug into the wall socket ensure that you
have dry hands.
∙ To save energy and to ensure optimum performance,
the compressor (at the rear) should be carefully cleaned
at least twice a year, with a brush or a vacuum cleaner.
Trouble-shooting
Certain typical sounds can be heard when the appliance is
switched on. These sounds are caused by:
∙ the electric
motor within
the compressor
assembly; during
compressor start-up
the sound level will
be slightly higher for
a short time.
∙ the cooling agent flowing through the circuit.
In addition, the side of the housing may become warm. This
heat is caused by dissipation of the heat generated inside
the cabinet.
The following table lists possible malfunctions, their
probable causes and solutions. In the event of operational
problems, check first whether a solution can be found using
this table. If the problem persists, disconnect the appliance
from the mains power and contact our Customer Service
Department.
