The wine conditioning unit must only be switched on when it has been installed in accordance with the installation instructions. Ground the wine conditioning unit. The wine conditioning unit must not be grounded via a gas pipe. If in doubt, have a suitably qualified and experienced electrician check that the wine conditioning unit complies with relevant regulations. Do not install a fuse into neutral current or grounding electrical circuit. Do not use an extension cord or power bar. Do not use a frayed or damaged power cord. Risk of electric shock! For protection against electric shock, this wine conditioning unit is equipped with a pole-free plug which is protected against reverse polarity. The plug must be grounded in the usual way. Do not remove the round grounding connector pin from the plug. Use only a grounded plug adapter. Wait for 1 hour after installation before plugging the wine conditioning unit into the power supply. This allows coolant and refrigerator oil to settle in accordance with regulations. Ensure that the voltage of the power supply corresponds to the connection voltage of the wine conditioning unit. A power supply of 110–120 V, 60 Hz and 10 –16 Amps, which is protected by a power switch or a fuse, is required to operate the wine conditioning unit. The manufacturer recommends operating the wine conditioning unit on a separate circuit to avoid overloading the electrical circuit. All relevant legal electrical, fire, and building regulations must be observed when installing the outlet and/or the Wine Storage Unit. In certain countries, wine conditioning units are required to be connected to the electrical supply via a wall-mounted ON/OFF switch. To avoid the risk of fire, electric shock, or other injuries, the wine conditioning unit must be installed and connected by a suitably qualified electrician in accordance with all relevant local and national regulations and standards, including fire prevention. The outlet must be easily accessible so that the wine conditioning unit can be quickly disconnected from the electrical supply in case of an emergency. 44 Electrical connection If the outlet is no longer accessible after installation, an additional means of disconnection must be provided for all poles. Suitable means of disconnection include switches with an all-pole contact gap of at least 3 mm. These can be circuit breakers, fuses, and relays. The plug and power cord must not come into contact with the back of the Wine Storage Unit as vibrations can cause damage to these components. This could result in a short circuit. Do not plug in other appliances behind the wine conditioning unit. Do not connect the wine conditioning unit to a stand-alone inverter such as those used with an autonomous energy source; for example, solar power. When the wine conditioning unit is switched on, power surges could result in a safety switch-off. The electronic unit could be damaged. The wine conditioning unit must not be used with what are known as energy-saving devices either. These reduce the amount of energy supplied to the unit, causing it to overheat. If the power cord needs to be replaced, this must be done by a qualified technician. 45 Electrical connection Connecting the wine conditioning unit Insert the plug into the back of the wine conditioning unit. Make sure that the plug has clicked into position correctly. Insert the plug into the electrical outlet and switch on.

The length of time for which wine can be kept in good condition will therefore depend not only on the temperature but also on the air quality. Type of wine Recommended drinking temperature Light, fruity red wines: 57° to 61°F (14° to 16°C) The wine conditioning unit with its constant ideal temperature, increased air humidity and odor-free atmosphere offers the perfect conditions for storing your wine. Full-bodied red wines: 64°F (18°C) Rosé wines: 46° to 50°F (8° to 10°C) The wine conditioning unit also guarantees a vibration-free environment (in contrast to a refrigerator) so that the maturing process is not disturbed. Temperature Wine can be stored at a temperature between 42° and 64°F (6° and 18°C). If you are storing white and red wines together, select a temperature between 53° and 57°F (12° and 14°C). This is suitable for both white and red wines. Red wine should be taken out of the wine conditioning unit and opened at least two hours before drinking to allow it to breathe and develop its aroma. At too high a temperature (over 72°F / 22°C), wine matures too quickly, which prevents the aromas from developing further. Wine cannot mature fully at too low a temperature (below 41°F / 5°C). Fluctuations in temperature put wine under stress and interrupt the maturing process. It is therefore very important to maintain a constant temperature. Delicate, aromatic 46° to 54°F (8° to white wines: 12°C) Full-bodied or sweet white wines: 46° to +57°F (12° to 14°C) Champagne, sparkling white wines: 43° to 50°F (6° to 10°C) Tip: Store the wine 1° or 2° cooler than the recommended drinking temperature as it warms up a little when poured into the glass. Tip: Full-bodied reds should be opened for 2-3 hours before drinking to allow it to breathe and develop its aroma. Tip: We recommend removing the oxygen from opened bottles of wine to avoid loss of aroma and taste, as well as spoiling. Special devices (a wine pump with bottle stopper, for example) create a vacuum by extracting the air. 69 The ideal temperature and humidity Isolator panels for thermal separation Setting the temperature The Wine Storage Unit has two fixed isolator panels that divide the interior into three zones, which can be conditioned in different ways. This means that you can store up to three different types of wine at the same time – for example, red wine, white wine, and champagne. Touch the symbol for setting the temperature in the display. The previously set temperatures are displayed. Use the and arrow buttons to select the temperature of the required wine conditioning zone and touch OK to confirm your selection. Use the and sensors to set the temperature. Keeping your finger on the sensor changes the temperature continuously. Confirm the temperature setting with OK or wait approx. 8 seconds after touching the sensor for the last time. This temperature will be automatically adopted. Tip: The new temperature setting can also be confirmed and adopted by closing the appliance door. The temperature display always shows the required temperature. If you have adjusted the temperature, wait for approx. 6 hours if the Wine Storage Unit is not very full and for approx. 24 hours if the Wine Storage Unit is full before checking the temperature display. It will take this long for an accurate reading to be given. If, after this time, the temperature is still too high or too low, adjust it again. Temperature range In all three zones, it is possible to set temperatures between 41°F and 68°F (5°C and 20°C). 70 The ideal temperature and humidity Humidity In most refrigerators the humidity is too low for wine and therefore a refrigerator is not suitable for wine storage. Higher humidity levels are necessary when storing wine to moisturize natural corks from the outside. When the humidity is too low the natural corks dry out and the bottle is no longer tightly sealed. For this reason wine bottles should always be stored horizontally to ensure that natural corks are also moisturized from the inside. If air gets into the bottle, this will have a negative impact on the wine! Tip: Humidity levels can be set separately for each wine conditioning zone. Always increase the humidity level in a wine conditioning zone whenever you are using it to store wine bottles sealed with natural corks. Risk of damage caused by excess moisture This will lead to condensation on the interior walls, which can cause corrosion damage. Do not introduce additional moisture into the air, e.g., by placing a dish of water inside the Wine Storage Unit. Increasing the humidity If you have set a higher level of humidity, the fans will switch on automatically. This will distribute the humidity and the temperature evenly around the Wine Storage Unit so that you can store all your wine under the same excellent conditions. The fans switch off automatically when the appliance door is opened and remain switched off for as long as it is kept open. Touch the symbol for setting the temperature in the display. Use the and arrow buttons to select the required wine conditioning zone and touch OK to confirm your selection. Touch the button in the display. The button will then be highlighted in color. Confirm your selection with OK or wait approx. 8 seconds after touching the button for the last time. The setting will be automatically adopted. Not increasing the humidity Touch the symbol for setting the temperature in the display. Use the and arrow buttons to select the required wine conditioning zone and touch OK to confirm your selection. Touch the button in the display. The button will then no longer be highlighted in color. 71 The ideal temperature and humidity Confirm your selection with OK or wait approx. 8 seconds after touching the button for the last time. The setting will be automatically adopted. 72 Door alarm An alarm will sound if the appliance door has been left open for longer than approx. 2 minutes. The message Close the door also appears in the display. As soon as the door is closed, the alarm will stop and the message in the display will go out. Turning the door alarm off early If the alarm disturbs you, it can be turned off early. Touch the OK sensor control in the display. The alarm stops and the message disappears from the display. After a certain time the alarm will sound again and the message will reappear in the display until the appliance door is closed. 73 Storing wine bottles Always observe USDA food safety guidelines. WARNING! Fire hazard! Do not operate any electrical equipment inside the wine conditioning. This can cause sparking. Vibration and movement have a negative effect on the maturing process which can in turn affect the taste of the wine. To avoid disturbing other bottles when removing a bottle of wine, store bottles of the same type beside each other on the same shelf. Avoid stacking bottles on top of one another on the wooden shelves. Always place the bottles in a horizontal position so that the natural corks can be kept moist on the inside and air is prevented from getting into the bottles. Tip: We also recommend increasing the humidity level inside the Wine Storage Unit for wine bottles with natural corks (see “Increasing the humidity ” in “The ideal temperature and humidity”). Danger of injury! Take care that wine bottles do not fall out of the appliance when a wooden shelf is pulled out. Wine bottles could also become wedged in the shelf above. 74 Risk of damage and injury! If wooden shelves and bottles protrude too far forwards, they will damage the glass door when it is closed. Please ensure that the wooden shelves and wine bottles do not protrude. Do not cover the vents in the rear wall, as they are essential for keeping the appliance cool. Storing wine bottles Moving the wooden shelves Labeling the wooden racks The wooden shelves can be removed and replaced again if required. For quick and easy identification of the wines stored, you can write on the blackboard-painted surface of the strips on the wooden racks. You can write directly on the strip or remove it from the wooden rack. To do so: Pull the wooden shelf out until it stops . Release the wooden shelf at the back, lifting the shelf on the left and right at the same time . Hold the strip by the sides and pull it forwards. Lift the wooden shelf forwards to remove it. The strip can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Risk of damage! Use clean water only to wipe the strip. Do not use a cleaning agent. Doing so would damage the blackboard surface. Label the strip with the chalk supplied and replace it on the front of the wooden rack. Slide the wooden shelf back into the appliance as far as it will go . Push the wooden shelf right back so that it clicks into place at the front. Press down on the back of the wooden shelf so that it clicks into place at the back . 75 Storing wine bottles Maximum capacity Risk of damage Do not exceed the maximum loadbearing capacity of 77 lb (35 kg) for each wooden shelf. Do not stack bottles on the wooden shelves. Up to 104 Bordeaux bottles (0.75 L (25.4 fl oz.)) can be stored in the Wine Storage Unit. 76 Automatic defrosting WARNING! DANGER of injury and damage! Do not use any mechanical or other types of aids which are not recommended by the manufacturer to accelerate the defrosting process. The wine conditioning unit defrosts automatically. 77 Cleaning and care WARNING! DANGER of electric Cleaning agents shock! Unplug the appliance or trip the circuit breaker. To avoid damaging the surfaces of your appliance, do not use WARNING! Fire hazard! Do not damage the coolant pipework. Do not let water get into the electronic unit or the lighting. Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this wine conditioning unit. The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.

Interior, accessories, and appliance door Clean the Wine Storage Unit regularly, or at least once a month. Clean up any spills, stains, or food immediately. Do not allow them to dry and stick to the appliance. Clean the interior with a solution of lukewarm water and liquid dish soap. Rinse all parts by hand. Do not wash in a dishwasher. After cleaning, wipe with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. The wooden shelves should only be wiped with a well wrung-out damp cloth. They must not be allowed to get wet. Risk of damage Please follow the instructions below for the magnetic strips to avoid damage during cleaning. Use clean water only to wipe the magnetic strips at the front of the wooden shelves. Do not use a cleaning agent. Doing so would damage the blackboard surface. Leave the Wine Storage Unit open to air it sufficiently for a short while and to prevent odor buildup. Clean the glass panes in the appliance door with a proprietary glass cleaner. 79 Cleaning and care Cleaning the door seal Do not use any grease or oil on the door seal as these will cause the seal to deteriorate and become porous over time. The door seal should be cleaned regularly with clean water and then wiped thoroughly dry with a soft cloth. Cleaning the ventilation grilles A build-up of dust will increase the energy consumption of the appliance. The air vents should be cleaned on a regular basis with a brush or vacuum cleaner (you could use a Miele vacuum cleaner dusting brush, for example). After cleaning Replace all parts in the wine conditioning unit. Reconnect to the power and switch the wine conditioning unit back on.
