Filling the appliance
You will achieve the most efficient use of en-
ergy for your appliance if you load it as shown
in the figure on the left.
The following tips show you how you can
store foods in your appliance to keep them in
the best possible condition over the longest
possible period. They will help prevent food
from being wasted.
• Lay bottles in the slots between the wood-
en rails on the bottle shelves (4).
The bottle tops should be facing the glass
door (1).
• Make sure that the bottles do not directly
touch the interior walls of appliance or the
glass door.
• Remove the packaging (e.g. cardboard)
before placing items in the appliance.
• Systematically fill the appliance so the
wine you want is easy to reach so that
you do not have to move the wine bottles
around a lot.
• Only store strong alcohol standing upright
and closed tightly.
• Make sure that the appliance is at least
70 % filled in order to counteract fluctua-
tions in temperature.
• Make sure to move the wine as little as
possible during storage. Frequently mov-
ing the wine around can lead to rapid
ageing.
• Ensure that the wine is kept as far away as
possible from light and stored in the dark.
• Do not turn the LED light (6) on frequent-
ly. Exposure to light may affect the taste
of wine.
