Frequently asked questions
Possible cause and solution
This is not a fault. The alarm tone has been
switched off in settings mode (see "Acoustic sig-
nals " under "Selecting additional settings").
The safety lock has been activated.
 Completely deactivate the safety lock (see "Acti-
vating and deactivating the safety lock " under
"Selecting additional settings").
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.
Bacteria may form on the labels, depending on the
type of label adhesive used.
 Clean the wine bottles and remove any adhesive
residue.
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.
