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.

7 Care and maintenance

7.1 Cleaning

Do not use any abrasive cleaning agents or scouring cloths. If the appliance has

wooden shelves, simply clean them with a slightly damp cloth without any deter-

gent.

Risk of damage to the appliance.

▸ Clean the interior, as required, with a mild soapy solution and wipe dry thoroughly.

▸ Clean the operating and display elements just with a slightly damp cloth.

▸ Regularly check the door seals and if dirty clean using a soft brush and clean water.

Wipe dry.

▸ If the appliance is not to be used for a while, switch it off. Empty, defrost and clean the

appliance. Leave the appliance door open.

7.2 Changing the LED lighting

Use original LED lights from the manufacturer only.

▸ Disconnect the appliance from the mains and unscrew the fuse for the appliance or

switch off the circuit breaker.

▸ Click off the LED light cover.

▸ Disconnect the plug connection 1 for the

LED light.

▸ Reverse this procedure to insert the new

LED light.

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 cool-

ing), the ambient temperature and the installation conditions. Operating noises are partic-

ularly audible immediately after switching on the compressor; however, these noises be-

come quieter as the appliance runs.

Unusual noises are often caused by improper installation. The appliance must be in-

stalled on a level and stable surface. In open kitchens or in the case of appliances in-

stalled 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 aggreg-

ate

Normal operating noise of the cooling aggreg-

ate; level depends on the size of the appliance.

Gurgling, bubbling,

hissing

Cooling circuit Normal operating noise as refrigerant flows

through the cooling circuit.

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

into the evaporator.

Clinking Load, etc. Arrange the bottles so that they do not touch.

Creaking Housing Normal, temperature-dependent stress-strain of

the materials, e.g. plastics, insulation.

Cracking Housing Ice cracking as it defrosts.

8.2 Warning signal and alarm

An acoustic signal is emitted to alert the user to a problem in the following instances:

▪ If the appliance door is left open for longer than 5 minutes.

▪ If the cooling temperature rises 10 °C above the set temperature.

▸ Press any button to quit the alarm.

▸ Close the appliance door if necessary.
