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.
