Electrical connection
38
Risk of electric shock!
The wine conditioning unit must only
be switched on when it has been in-
stalled in accordance with the instal-
lation instructions.
Ground the wine conditioning unit.
The wine conditioning unit must not
be grounded via a gas pipe.
If in doubt, have a suitably qualified
and experienced electrician check
that the wine conditioning unit com-
plies with relevant regulations.
Do not install a fuse into neutral cur-
rent or grounding electrical circuit.
Do not use an extension cord or
power bar.
Do not use a frayed or damaged
power cord.
Risk of electric shock!
For protection against electric shock,
this wine conditioning unit is
equipped with a pole-free plug which
is protected against reverse polarity.
The plug must be grounded in the
usual way.
Do not remove the round grounding
connector pin from the plug.
Use only a grounded plug adapter.
Wait for 1hour after installation before
plugging the wine conditioning unit into
the power supply. This allows coolant
and refrigerator oil to settle in accor-
dance with regulations.
Ensure that the voltage of the power
supply corresponds to the connection
voltage of the wine conditioning unit. A
power supply of 110–120V, 60Hz and
10 –16Amps, which is protected by a
power switch or a fuse, is required to
operate the wine conditioning unit.
The manufacturer recommends operat-
ing the wine conditioning unit on a sep-
arate circuit to avoid overloading the
electrical circuit.
All relevant legal electrical, fire, and
building regulations must be observed
when installing the outlet and/or the
Wine Storage Unit.
In certain countries, wine conditioning
units are required to be connected to
the electrical supply via a wall-mounted
ON/OFF switch.
To avoid the risk of fire, electric shock,
or other injuries, the wine conditioning
unit must be installed and connected by
a suitably qualified electrician in accor-
dance with all relevant local and na-
tional regulations and standards, in-
cluding fire prevention.
The outlet must be easily accessible so
that the wine conditioning unit can be
quickly disconnected from the electrical
supply in case of an emergency.
Electrical connection
39
If the outlet is no longer accessible after
installation, an additional means of dis-
connection must be provided for all
poles. Suitable means of disconnection
include switches with an all-pole con-
tact gap of at least 3mm. These can be
circuit breakers, fuses, and relays.
The plug and power cord must not
come into contact with the back of the
Wine Storage Unit as vibrations can
cause damage to these components.
This could result in a short circuit.
Do not plug in other appliances behind
the wine conditioning unit.
Do not connect the wine conditioning
unit to a stand-alone inverter such as
those used with an autonomous energy
source; for example, solar power.
When the wine conditioning unit is
switched on, power surges could result
in a safety switch-off. The electronic
unit could be damaged. The wine con-
ditioning unit must not be used with
what are known as energy-saving de-
vices either. These reduce the amount
of energy supplied to the unit, causing it
to overheat.
If the power cord needs to be replaced,
this must be done by a qualified techni-
cian.
Electrical connection
40
Connecting the wine conditioning
unit
Insert the plug into the back of the
wine conditioning unit.
Make sure that the plug has clicked into
position correctly.
Insert the plug into the electrical out-
let and switch on.
The wine conditioning unit is now con-
nected to the electricity supply:
Follow the steps described in “Switch-
ing the appliance on and off”, section
“Switching on the appliance”.

The ideal temperature and humidity
64
Wine continues to mature depending on
the surrounding conditions. The length
of time for which wine can be kept in
good condition will therefore depend
not only on the temperature but also on
the air quality.
The wine conditioning unit with its con-
stant ideal temperature, increased air
humidity and odor-free atmosphere of-
fers the perfect conditions for storing
your wine.
The wine conditioning unit also guaran-
tees a vibration-free environment (in
contrast to a refrigerator) so that the
maturing process is not disturbed.
Temperature
Wine can be stored at a temperature
between 42° and 64°F (6° and 18°C). If
you are storing white and red wines to-
gether, select a temperature between
53° and 57°F (12° and 14°C). This is
suitable for both white and red wines.
Red wine should be taken out of the
wine conditioning unit and opened at
least two hours before drinking to allow
it to breathe and develop its aroma.
At too high a temperature (over 72°F /
22°C), wine matures too quickly, which
prevents the aromas from developing
further. Wine cannot mature fully at too
low a temperature (below 41°F / 5°C).
Fluctuations in temperature put wine
under stress and interrupt the maturing
process. It is therefore very important to
maintain a constant temperature.
Type of wine Recommended
drinking temper-
ature
Light, fruity red
wines:
57° to 61°F
(14°to 16°C)
Full-bodied
red wines:
64°F (18°C)
Rosé wines:
46° to 50°F
(8° to 10°C)
Delicate, aromatic
white wines:
46° to 54°F (8° to
12°C)
Full-bodied or
sweet white
wines:
46° to +57°F
(12°to 14°C)
Champagne,
sparkling white
wines:
43° to 50°F
(6° to 10°C)
Tip: Store the wine 1° or 2° cooler than
the recommended drinking temperature
as it warms up a little when poured into
the glass.
Tip: Full-bodied reds should be opened
for 2-3 hours before drinking to allow it
to breathe and develop its aroma.
Tip: We recommend removing the oxy-
gen from opened bottles of wine to
avoid loss of aroma and taste, as well
as spoiling. Special devices (a wine
pump with bottle stopper, for example)
create a vacuum by extracting the air.
The ideal temperature and humidity
65
Isolator panels for thermal separation
The Wine Storage Unit has two fixed
isolator panels that divide the interior
into three zones, which can be condi-
tioned in different ways. This means
that you can store up to three different
types of wine at the same time – for ex-
ample, red wine, white wine, and cham-
pagne.
Setting the temperature
Touch the symbol for setting the
temperature in the display.
The previously set temperatures are dis-
played.
Use the and arrow buttons to
select the temperature of the required
wine conditioning zone and touch OK
to confirm your selection.
Use the and sensors to set the
temperature. Keeping your finger on
the sensor changes the temperature
continuously.
Confirm the temperature setting with
OK or wait approx. 8seconds after
touching the sensor for the last time.
This temperature will be automatically
adopted.
Tip: The new temperature setting can
also be confirmed and adopted by clos-
ing the appliance door.
The temperature display always shows
the required temperature.
If you have adjusted the temperature,
wait for approx. 6hours if the Wine
Storage Unit is not very full and for
approx. 24hours if the Wine Storage
Unit is full before checking the temper-
ature display. It will take this long for an
accurate reading to be given.
If, after this time, the temperature is
still too high or too low, adjust it
again.
Temperature range
In all three zones, it is possible to set
temperatures between 41°F and 68°F
(5°C and 20°C).
The ideal temperature and humidity
66
Humidity
In most refrigerators the humidity is too
low for wine and therefore a refrigerator
is not suitable for wine storage. Higher
humidity levels are necessary when
storing wine to moisturize natural corks
from the outside. When the humidity is
too low the natural corks dry out and
the bottle is no longer tightly sealed. For
this reason wine bottles should always
be stored horizontally to ensure that
natural corks are also moisturized from
the inside. If air gets into the bottle, this
will have a negative impact on the wine!
Tip: Humidity levels can be set sepa-
rately for each wine conditioning zone.
Always increase the humidity level in a
wine conditioning zone whenever you
are using it to store wine bottles sealed
with natural corks.
Risk of damage caused by ex-
cess moisture
This will lead to condensation on the
interior walls, which can cause corro-
sion damage.
Do not introduce additional moisture
into the air, e.g., by placing a dish of
water inside the Wine Storage Unit.
Increasing the humidity
If you have set a higher level of humid-
ity, the fans will switch on automati-
cally. This will distribute the humidity
and the temperature evenly around the
Wine Storage Unit so that you can
store all your wine under the same ex-
cellent conditions. The fans switch off
automatically when the appliance door
is opened and remain switched off for
as long as it is kept open.
Touch the symbol for setting the
temperature in the display.
Use the and arrow buttons to
select the required wine conditioning
zone and touch OK to confirm your
selection.
Touch the button in the display.
The button will then be highlighted in
color.
Confirm your selection with OK or
wait approx. 8seconds after touching
the button for the last time. The set-
ting will be automatically adopted.
Not increasing the humidity
Touch the symbol for setting the
temperature in the display.
Use the and arrow buttons to
select the required wine conditioning
zone and touch OK to confirm your
selection.
Touch the button in the display.
The button will then no longer be
highlighted in color.
The ideal temperature and humidity
67
Confirm your selection with OK or
wait approx. 8seconds after touching
the button for the last time. The set-
ting will be automatically adopted.
Door alarm
68
An alarm will sound if the appliance
door has been left open for longer than
approx. 2minutes.
The message Close the door also ap-
pears in the display.
As soon as the door is closed, the
alarm will stop and the message in the
display will go out.
Turning the door alarm off early
If the alarm disturbs you, it can be
turned off early.
Touch the OK sensor control in the
display.
The alarm stops and the message dis-
appears from the display.
After a certain time the alarm will sound
again and the message will reappear in
the display until the appliance door is
closed.
Storing wine bottles
69
Always observe USDA food safety
guidelines.
WARNING! Fire hazard!
Do not operate any electrical equip-
ment inside the wine conditioning.
This can cause sparking.
Vibration and movement have a nega-
tive effect on the maturing process
which can in turn affect the taste of the
wine.
To avoid disturbing other bottles when
removing a bottle of wine, store bottles
of the same type beside each other on
the same shelf. Avoid stacking bottles
on top of one another on the wooden
shelves.
Always place the bottles in a horizontal
position so that the natural corks can
be kept moist on the inside and air is
prevented from getting into the bottles.
Tip: We also recommend increasing the
humidity level inside the Wine Storage
Unit for wine bottles with natural corks
(see “Increasing the humidity” in “The
ideal temperature and humidity”).
Danger of injury!
Take care that wine bottles do not fall
out of the appliance when a wooden
shelf is pulled out. Wine bottles
could also become wedged in the
shelf above.
Risk of damage and injury!
If wooden shelves and bottles pro-
trude too far forwards, they will dam-
age the glass door when it is closed.
Please ensure that the wooden
shelves and wine bottles do not pro-
trude.
Do not cover the vents in the rear
wall, as they are essential for keeping
the appliance cool.

Cleaning and care
75
Appliance front
The appliance front has a special high-
quality finish (Clean Touch Steel). This is
resistant to soiling and is very easy to
clean.
Do not use stainless steel
cleaning agent on these surfaces,
as it will damage the finish.
Do not use Miele stainless steel
conditioning agent on these sur-
faces, as it will cause noticeable
smearing.
If soiling is allowed to sit for any
length of time, it may become im-
possible to remove.
Surfaces may be discolored or al-
tered.
It is therefore best to remove soiling
from the appliance front immediately.
All surfaces are easily scratched.
Contact with unsuitable cleaning
agents can alter or discolor the sur-
faces.
See the information on “Cleaning
agents” at the beginning of this sec-
tion.

sponge and a solution of warm water
and liquid dish soap. A clean, damp
microfiber cloth without cleaning
agent can also be used for cleaning.
After cleaning, wipe with clean water
and dry with a soft cloth.
Cleaning the door seal
Do not use any grease or oil on the
door seal as these will cause the seal
to deteriorate and become porous
over time.
The door seal should be cleaned reg-
ularly with clean water and then
wiped thoroughly dry with a soft
cloth.

General problems with the wine conditioning unit
Problem Possible cause and solution
Mildew has begun to
form on the wine bottle
labels.
Mildew may form on the labels, depending on the
type of label adhesive used.
Clean the wine bottles and remove any adhesive
residue.
The slats on the
wooden shelves are
warping.
Volume change due to moisture absorption or drying
out is a typical characteristic of wood. An increase in
humidity will cause wooden components to warp,
which can lead to cracking. Knots and wavy grain are
characteristic for wood and cannot be avoided.
A white deposit has
formed on the wine bot-
tle corks.
The corks have oxidized due to contact with the air.
Use a dry cloth to wipe off the deposit. The de-
posit will not affect the quality of the wine.
Causes of noises

Normal noises Cause
Brrrrr... A humming noise is made by the motor (compressor). This
noise can get louder for brief periods when the motor switches
on.
Blub, blub.... A gurgling noise can be heard when the coolant circulates
through the pipes.
Click.... Clicking sounds occur whenever the thermostat switches the
motor on or off.
Sssrrrrr.... On multi-zone wine conditioning units you can sometimes just
hear the sound of the fan inside the appliance.
Crack... A cracking sound can be heard when material inside the wine
conditioning unit expands.
Please bear in mind that a certain amount of noise is unavoidable (from the com-
pressor and the coolant circulating through the system).
Noises that you
