Product Information
Full details
The Smeg CVI638RN3 is a premium built-in wine cooler designed for wine enthusiasts who prioritize both kitchen aesthetics and precise storage conditions. With a 38-bottle capacity and dual temperature zones, it is perfectly suited for those who need to store different varieties of wine—like crisp whites and aged reds—simultaneously. While it offers a sophisticated Dolce Stil Novo design and high-end features like anti-UV glass and low-vibration cooling, it requires a specific under-counter installation space, which may necessitate professional planning in smaller kitchens.

Troubleshooting
The unit is making unusual noise.
Ensure the appliance is perfectly level using the adjustable feet; vibrations often occur if the unit is not stable on the floor.
The temperature is not reaching the set point.
Check that the door is closing properly and that the charcoal filter is not blocked; also ensure the unit is not overloaded, which restricts airflow.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This appliance is designed as a built-in unit meant to fit into an 82-87cm height space beneath a kitchen worktop. Before installation, ensure your cabinet dimensions are at least 595mm wide and 566mm deep. The unit features adjustable feet to ensure it sits perfectly level on your kitchen floor, which is critical for door alignment and internal shelf stability. For care, keep the charcoal filter updated as recommended to maintain air purity, and use a soft, damp cloth for the exterior black finish. Periodically check that the air vents remain unobstructed to allow the compressor to function efficiently.
