a result of outside factors such as the weather, the interior
light being switched on, or the position of the bottles stored
in the cabinet (top, bottom or middle).
∙ The vertical space between the storage racks can be
modi fi ed to accommodate different-sized bottles by selecting
the appropriate guide rails for each rack.
∙ Always ensure that the door is properly closed and that the
seal is not obstructed by bottles stored inside the cabinet.
Door lock
The door lock can be used to protect the cabinet against
unauthorised use.
We recommend that you remove the second key from the
holder and store it in a safe place. This will also protect the
housing against scratching caused by the second key dangling
from the key holder.
De-frosting and cleaning
The integral vaporiser is sealed in foam in the rear wall; you
may therefore notice a build-up of frost around the rear area.
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 instead.
∙ To enable the melt-water to drain freely, always ensure that
the channel and discharge opening in the cabinet are free of
any blockage.
Cleaning the unit / periods of non-use
∙ remove the plug from the wall socket
∙ remove the bottles from the cabinet
∙ leave the door open
To prevent any unpleasant odour within the cabinet, it should
be cleaned about once every two months. The interior and
exterior surfaces and the drain channel may be cleaned with a
wet cloth. If necessary, a mild, neutral detergent may be used.
Wipe dry thoroughly with a clean cloth after cleaning.
The marked area (see diagram on the right) is designed to collect
any fl uid that may accumulate inside the cabinet. The interior must
be kept dry to prevent any damage to the door seals. Any fl uid found
in the tray can be removed by wiping it dry.
Take care not to remove or damage the rating plate inside the
cabinet during cleaning.
Any dust deposits around the heat-exchanger on the outside of the
unit should be regularly removed using a suitable brush or a vacuum
cleaner. The build-up of dust will cause an increase in energy
consumption.
The rear of the appliance should be thoroughly cleaned with a
soft brush or a vacuum cleaner at least once a year.
Remark: Do not use abrasive tools or materials containing
alcohol or harsh cleaning solutions. Do not use any electrical
appliances, such as steam cleaners etc., for de-frosting or
cleaning.
Trouble-shooting
Certain typical sounds can be heard when the appliance is
switched on. These sounds are:
∙ caused by the
electrical motor within
the compressor
assembly; during
compressor start-up
the sound level will be
slightly higher for a
limited period of time.
∙ caused by the cooling agent fl owing 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 the possible malfunctions, their
probable causes and solutions. In the event of operational
problems, check fi rst 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.
