Frequently Asked Questions
General problems with the wine conditioning unit
Problem
The door seal is damaged or needs to be replaced.
An alarm does not sound even though the appliance door has been open for a long time.
The wine conditioning unit cannot be switched off.
Possible cause and solution
No tools are required to change the door seal.
Change the door seal. A replacement is available from Technical Service.
This is not a fault. The alarm tone has been switched off in settings mode (see “Acoustic signals ” under “Selecting additional settings”).
The slats on the wooden shelves are warping.
Bacteria has begun to form on the wine bottle labels.
A white deposit has formed on the wine bottle corks.
The safety lock has been activated.
Completely deactivate the safety lock (see “Activating and deactivating the safety lock ” under
“Selecting additional settings”).
Volume change due to moisture absorption or drying out is a typical characteristic of wood. An increase in humidity will cause wooden components to warp, which can lead to cracking. Knots and wavy grain are characteristic for wood and cannot be avoided.
Bacteria may form on the labels, depending on the type of label adhesive used.
Clean the wine bottles and remove any adhesive residue.
The corks have oxidized due to contact with the air.
Use a dry cloth to wipe off the deposit. The deposit will not affect the quality of the wine.
