4.1. Before using for the first time
Clean the inside of the cooler and all accesories (except wooden shelves) with warm water and a little amount of
washing up liquid. After cleaning, dry all surfaces with a soft cloth. For the wooden shelves, use a soft cloth only.
To ensure the correct working conditions for your appliance, wait for 1 - 1.5 hours after placing the appliance in its
final position to allow the coolant to settle before plugging it in.

• The appliance is switched on

4.2.4. Adjusting the temperature
For the Upper zone, gently press the left-hand SET button until the numbers on the left-hand of the display flash and
then release the button. When the display is flashing, each subsequent press of the SET button will adjust the temperature level
upwards by 1°C. Release the button when the display shows the required temperature.
For the Lower zone, follow the above instructions, but use the right-hand SET button.
Approximately 5 seconds after releasing the SET button, the display will show the actual temperature in the applicable zone.
For the Cave 20 Built Under, the temperature can be separately adjusted from 6°C to 18°C for each zone.
For the Cave 20 Built In, the upper zone temperature can be adjusted from 6°C to 18°C; the lower zone temperature can be
adjusted from 15°C to 18°C.
Under normal working conditions, the display shows the actual temperatures inside the cooler. The temperature display only
flashes:
• when the temperature is being adjusted
• when there is a temperature difference of more than 5°C between the actual value and set value.
If the ambient temperature value is lower than the SET temperature value, the cooler will not warm up the stored wines.
THE APPLIANCE INCLUDES A FIXED THERMAL ISOLATOR WHICH DIVIDES THE COOLER INTO TWO ZONES. THE
TEMPERATURES OF THE UPPER AND LOWER ZONES CAN BE ADJUSTED SEPARATELY. THIS ALLOWS THE COOLER TO
STORE WHITE AND RED WINES AT THE SAME TIME AT DIFFERENT TEMPERATURES.
4.2.5. Interior lighting
This appliance has interior LED lighting in both the upper and lower zones with a dimming effect. The dimming effect
means that when the door is closed, the lighting dims slowly.
If you want to view the wines in the cooler you can switch on the light using the LIGHT button.
Gently press the LIGHT button to switch on the light.

CLEAN THE APPLIANCE
•
LEAVE THE DOOR OPEN TO PREVENT MOULD AND BAD ODOURS
A GOOD WINE DOES NOT LIKE LIGHT. SUNLIGHT AND EVEN INCORRECTLY POSITIONED LAMPS MAY
IMPAIR THE WINE. WHITES ARE PARTICULARLY SENSITIVE. THEY SHOULD NEVER BE EXPOSED TO DIRECT
LIGHT. RED WINES ARE NOT QUITE AS SENSITIVE. THIS IS BECAUSE BOTH THEIR PRODUCTION METHOD
AND DARKER COLOURED BOTTLES HELP REDUCE THE HARMFUL EFFECTS OF SUNLIGHT. STORING YOUR
WINE IN A DARK PLACE WILL HELP PRESERVE THE WINE FOR LONGER.

6. Defrosting
7. Cleaning the appliance
During normal operation, condensation and frost may form on the back wall of the appliance. The appliance is designed to
defrost and remove these automatically. The back of the appliance is fitted with an automatic evaporation system.
•
Switch the appliance off and unplug it. Take out any removable parts (e.g. shelves) for cleaning.
•
Clean the appliance with warm water and a little washing-up liquid. Make sure you prevent water from getting directly in
to the electronic unit or the lighting.
•
Never use abrasive or acidic cleaning agents or solvents.
•
Never use steam cleaning equipment to clean the appliance. Steam could get into the electrical components and cause a
short circuit.
•
Wipe the door seal with clean water only and then dry with a soft cloth. Never use oils or grease to clean the door seal.
These kinds of cleaning agents can cause porosity or deterioration over time.
•
After cleaning, wipe and dry the interior of the cooler with a soft cloth and leave the door open to ventilate for a short
while.
•
Use an appropriate glass cleaner to clean the appliance door.
•
Make sure you do not damage the rating plate, which is located inside the cooler, during cleaning. The rating plate con-
tains important information about the cooler which will be required in the event of servicing.
•
Any vents should be cleaned regularly with a brush or vacuum cleaner. Dust accumulation increases the energy consump-
tion of the appliance.
