Before any cleaning or maintenance operation, unplug the

appliance from the mains or disconnect the electrical

power supply.

The wine cellar has a fully automatic defrosting function.

• Droplets of water on the rear wall of the appliance indicate

that the periodic automatic defrost cycle is in progress.

The defrost water is automatically routed to a drain outlet and

into a container from which it evaporates.

• Clean the defrost water drain outlet regularly using the tool

supplied with the appliance in order to ensure defrost water is

removed correctly.

• Clean the condenser at the rear of the appliance regularly with

a vacuum cleaner or a brush.

If necessary...

1. Empty the wine cellar.

2. Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.

3. Leave the door partly open (approx. 3-4mm) to prevent the

formation of mould, unpleasant odours and oxidation.

4. Clean the appliance.

• Clean the inside regularly with a sponge dampened in warm

water and/or neutral detergent. Rinse and dry with a soft

cloth. Do not use abrasive products.

• Clean the outside with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive

products, scourers, stain-removers (e.g. acetone,

trichloroethylene) or vinegar.

• Clean the outside of the glass with a standard glass-cleaning

detergent but with a damp cloth only on the inside to

prevent detergents from interfering with the proper storage

of the wine.

Active carbons

In addition to temperature, air quality is also vital in wine storage.

The active carbon filter is essential in filtering the external air,

thereby assuring an adequate supply of clean air, free of dust and

odours (Figure C1).

Replacement filters are available and can be requested from the

After-sales Service.

Rack cleaning

Use a damp cloth to clean the oak racks.

Be careful not to damage the rubber seal when removing the

rack from the appliance. To that end, open the door fully.
