appliance and physical injury of anyone involved.
When moving the appliance, be careful not to
push it on the floor because of potential
damages. There are two casters on the back
of the appliance housing, that make moving
the appliance around easier.
In order to safely install the appliance and for the appliance to operate correctly, it is important to
place it onto a surface with adequate load-bearing capacity. If necessary, consult an architect/
structural engineer. The surface should be smooth and level with the floor in the room.
The weight of an empty appliance is
approximately 304 lb (138 kg).
The weight of a fully loaded appliance is
approximately 1047 lb (475 kg).
When the appliance is placed on the intended
surface, it should be completely level in order
to decrease vibration. To level the appliance,
use the adjustable feet at the front of the
appliance. An open wrench size 17 is required
for adjusting and fastening the feet.
12
Installation and connection
• Place the appliance at least
1 15/16" (50 mm) away from an electric or
gas stove, and at least 11 13/16" (300 mm)
away from a heat source (e.g. a radiator
or a heater). If such clearance is not
possible, then install an insulation panel.
• Do not expose the appliance to direct
sunlight.
• We recommend free-standing installation
of the appliance. When necessary, it can
also be placed adjacent to cabinetry, if
adequate ventilation and cooling of the
installation location (e.g. air-conditioning)
are provided. In such a case, the
appliance power consumption is likely to
increase.
• There has to be a clearance of at least
1 15/16" (50 mm) between the appliance
and any cabinet above it.
13
Installation and connection
• To allow for adequate ventilation and cooling of the appliance, there has to be sufficient clearence
behind the appliance and on both sides as well (at least 1 15/16" (50 mm)). Please, also observe
the clearance required to fully open the door in order to allow pulling out the drawers and shelves
(see installation diagram).
• In cases of installation where there is less than 1 15/16" (50 mm) of space around the cabinet,
a recess must be made at the ventilation grilles on both sides of the appliance (ventilation grilles
must not be blocked) which must be able to supply or exhaust air on each side through an
opening of at least 31"
2
(200 cm
2
).
• Furthermore, 1 15/16" (50 mm) distance from the rear wall must always be maintained and must
be connected to an opening above or behind the cabinet.
• The appliance comes supplied with two
spacers that should be fitted in the slots
on the back of the appliance, one on either
side, near the bottom. The spacers ensure
adequate air circulation that is required for
correct appliance operation. The appliance
will operate normally without the spacers
in place; however, this could affect its
power consumption.

Before using the appliance for the first time
Wine storage tips
Natural wine cellars are the ideal place to store wine, because of the scarce light, the lack of vibrations
and having a special climate. A wine’s temperature determines its flavour, and influences enjoyment.
Wine ageing depends on the environment conditions in which the wine is stored. By maintaining
constant optimum temperature, correct air humidity, and an atmosphere free from any odours, the
wine climate cabinet provides excellent conditions for storing your wine. It also provides an
environment free from harmful vibrations that could also affect the ageing process. Since every type
of wine has an optimum ageing time and climate, we suggest checking the recommended time to
open the bottle as advised by the winemaker.
Most people who drink wine, know you serve white wine and champagne chilled, and red wine on
room temperature. What people may not know that the "room temperature" that wine professionals
are referring to, is the temperature of wine caves in the Bordeaux region of France. Those caves are
about 55°F (13°C). A good wine climate cabinet, can keep your wines at a perfect serving temperature,
reducing the guesswork and sometimes the headache.
It is very important to maintain a constant temperature within the wine climate cabinet. In case of a
power failure, open the door as little as possible to maintain the temperature in the appliance interior.
A gradual increase in temperature will not have a negative impact on the wine.
The humidity should be between 50% and 80%. Too low humidity will result in a dry cork. Too high
humidity will cause mold. The ASKO Wine Climate Cabinet provides excellent ventilation with clean
air which helps preventing damage to labels and corks during storage.
The humidity levels in wine climate cabinet are particularly important for long term wine storage and
ageing. Recommended temperature for wine ageing is between 52°F (11°C) and 55°F (13°C). For
that purpose, the wine climate cabinet will maintain optimal ageing conditions and notify the user,
if the conditions deviate from them. Extremely high and low temperature settings are intended mainly
for the wine serving purposes. Wine is exposed to this conditions for shorter time periods and
therefore humidity should not have any negative effect on the wine. However, monitoring of relative
humidity levels is available regardless of the compartment temperature setting.
Major temperature changes can cause humidity levels to deviate from the desired levels and it may
take longer, e.g. about a week, for them to stabilize again. During this time, the notifications for
humidity out of zone will not appear.
Wine should be stored horizontally, especially corked wines. It will keep the cork moist and swollen
and prevent wine from unwanted contact with air. Short term storage, within some weeks, storing in
tilted position is preferred to keep the cork damp. If the position is too upward, the cork will dry out.
Screw and crown caps have less demands regarding the positioning.
The wine cabinet is fitted with an activated carbon filter which prevents odors that can pollute your
wines. The Activated Carbon filter is originally called HEGA filter (High Efficiency Gas Absorption).
It removes the gas molecules through a process of adsorption (not absorption). During adsorption,
the pollutants stick to the outside of the Activated Carbon filter.
By having your own wine climate cabinet in your house, this creates enjoyment of your wine on a
premium level like the wine came straight out of a real wine cellar.
18
Storing wine
Storing bottles
• Moving the bottles or excessive vibration can have a negative effect on the aging process and
thus on the wine’s flavour. The appliance is fitted with a special sensor that continuously measures
vibration. In case of excessive vibration, e.g. when the appliance door is slammed shut, an alarm
signal will sound and alarm key will flash on the display.
• Keep the bottles intended for daily use on the front half of the shelves. Keep the wines you intend
to store for a long time or age in the bottom part of the cabinet.
• Store the bottles horizontally, so that cork stoppers are also kept moist from within.
INFORMATION!
Mould can appear on bottle labels; this depends on the type of glue used for the label. Clean
the bottles and remove any residual glue.
INFORMATION!
White sediment can form on cork stoppers as a result of oxidation due to contact with air.
Wipe the sediment with a dry cloth. The sediment does not affect the quality of the wine.

supports protect the shelf from being fully
extended and pulled out, which could result
in the shelf falling from the appliance.
INFORMATION!
Before you start adding bottles to a shelf,
check once more whether the shelf is
correctly placed on the plastic holders. Up
to 13 Bordeaux bottles (25.4 fl oz (0.75 l))
can be placed on each standard wooden
bottle shelf.
INFORMATION!
Higher humidity level inside the appliance
may cause the wooden parts to slightly
bend; this, however, will not affect their
functioning.
Chalkboard name tag (7)
Chalkboard name tags are supplied with the appliance. They can be installed at the front side of
each shelf. You can use chalk to indicate the wine stored on a particular shelf. The chalkboard name
tags can be wiped with a damp cloth.
23
Description of the appliance
Wooden bottom bottle rack (8)
The wooden bottom bottle rack is intended for
storing the bottles in the compressor area. This
area is suitable for storing bottles you wish to
keep for a longer period of time, especially for
ageing without excessive vibration and
unnecessary movement. Up to 27 Bordeaux
bottles (25.4 fl oz (0.75 l)) can be stored on
the wooden bottom bottle rack.
3-layered glass door with UV filter (9)
The 3-layered glass door is filled with argon (a noble gas), which makes them more energy efficient.
For maximum protection from sunlight that can harm the wine’s aging process, an additional UV film
is used that stops 99% of sunlight.
The door closes automatically when the opening angle is less than 20°. The soft-close mechanism
gently closes the door.
Humidity box
One HumidityBox is supplied with the wine climate cabinet.
The purpose of this humidity box is to increase humidity of the Wine Climate Cabinet, to prevent
humidity to drop under 50% that can appear in certain conditions (when the Wine Climate Cabinet
is placed in an environment with low humidity).
You can monitor on the appliance display if there is low humidity (a notification will be given when
humidity reaches 50% and an alarm when it reaches 40%).
You can fill the box with 16.9 fl oz (0.5 l) of
water and place it in the cabinet.
HumidityBox is made of clay, a natural material
with the right characteristics to first absorb
water and then allow it to evaporate to increase
humidity.
The walls and bottom of the clay box are
glazed to prevent water leakage. Water is
absorbed by all walls, but will only evaporate
through the unglazed top surface.
The HumidityBox is made in an artisan workshop with fine craftmanship. As a result, minor irregularities
in material or shape may occur. They, however, do not have any effect on functionality.
The colour of the box changes when it is filled with water: as the walls absorb water, they become
darker. Depending on the hardness of your tap water, some white limescale stains may appear on
the material. To avoid this, you may use descaled or distilled water. The white stains can be washed
off.
After placing the HumidityBox in the correct zone, it will take approximately 9 hours to increase the
humidity back from 40% to 50%. After 9 hours, humidity will continue to slowly increase.
On average, the HumidityBox should be refilled every 30 days. The appliance will sound an alarm
when humidity gets too low (below 40%).
24
Description of the appliance
You can also buy additional HumidityBoxes when needed.
Please do not put the HumidityBox in the dishwasher, as this type of material is not dishwasher safe.
Because of the relatively thin walls, the box is fragile and should be handled carefully. Occasionally,
shower the inside of the box with tap water.
INFORMATION!
For more informations refer to the local Asko dealer or to the Asko website of your country.

The alarm key and setpoint temperature are blinking.
INFORMATION!
Every time the appliance is switched on again, it takes a while until the correct temperature is
reached. For this reason, the alarm is disabled for the first 6 hours after the appliance is switched
on to prevent the unnecessary activation of the alarm. Each time the door is closed, temperature
alarm is blocked for 3 hours.
If the difference between old setpoint and new setpoint is:
• less than 9°F (5°C), it has no influence on temperature alarm,
• between 9°F (5°C) and 18°F (10°C), temperature alarm is blocked for 24h,
• higher than 18°F (10°C), temperature alarm is blocked for 80h.
Stopping the alarm:
Short press on alarm key will stop the alarm from sounding, alarm key is not illuminated anymore.
Setpoint temperature continues to blink while the temperature is still out of range. If the temperature
is within range and temperature alarm is active, it will be canceled automatically.

rises above 80%, for 7 days constantly.
The alarm key is illuminated and alarm sound is heard. On press of alarm icon the alarm
is removed. Humidity value is blinking rapidly .
INFORMATION!
Every time the appliance is switched on, it takes a while until the correct humidity is reached. For
this reason, the alarm is disabled for the first 24 hours after the appliance is switched on to prevent
the unnecessary activation of the alarm. Each time the door is closed, humidity alarm is blocked
for 6 hours.
If the difference between old setpoint and new setpoint is less than 9°F (5°C), it has no influence on
humidity alarm.
If setpoint temperature for any compartment is set above or equal to 61°F (16°C), humidity alarm is
neglected.
Stopping the alarm:
Short press on alarm key will stop the alarm from sounding, alarm key is not illuminated anymore.
Humidity value continues to blink while the humidity is still out of range.
If humidity value reestablishes between 40% and 80% and humidity alarm is active , it will be canceled
automatically.
30
Operation
Humidity box notification
The appliance can notify you when humidity box needs to be refilled. Humidity box notification starts
when 7 days average value of compartment humidity is between 40% - 50% for 7 days constantly.
So you do not have to remember to check it yourself and can also help avoid triggering the humidity
alarm.
The alarm key and humidity value are blinking softly . No alarm sound is
heard.
Humidity box notification can be (de)activated in SETTINGS MENU. So if you do not have a humidity
box or you prefer to check the humidity box yourself, it can be set to 'OF', then humidity box notification
alarm is not active.
