Full details
The Smeg CVI120B3E is a premium, compact wine cooler designed for enthusiasts who appreciate minimalist aesthetics and professional-grade preservation. Ideal for modern kitchen integrations, this 20-bottle unit protects your collection with UV-filtered glass, a low-vibration compressor, and an integrated charcoal air filter. While it offers a sleek 45cm height and advanced touch controls, it is a single-temperature zone appliance, meaning you cannot simultaneously store different types of wine at distinct temperatures.

Troubleshooting
The temperature is not reaching the set point.
Ensure the door is fully closed and the gasket is intact. Check that the ventilation space around the unit is not obstructed.
The door alarm is beeping constantly.
Verify that the door is completely latched. The sensor may trigger an alarm if the door is left ajar for too long.
Excessive noise or vibration.
Ensure the appliance is level. While the compressor has low-vibration technology, an unlevel installation can amplify motor hum.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Installation: This unit is designed for built-in installation. Ensure your cabinet space meets the required dimensions of at least 56 cm width, 55 cm depth, and exactly 45 cm height for a perfect fit.
- Electrical: The unit comes with a 1.8m cord and requires a standard 230V outlet. Always verify that your cabinetry has adequate ventilation to prevent the compressor from overheating.
- Placement: While the door is reversible to suit your specific kitchen layout, it should be installed away from direct heat sources like ovens or dishwashers.
- Maintenance: To maintain optimal air quality, replace the activated charcoal filter periodically. The interior can be cleaned with a damp cloth; avoid abrasive chemicals on the beechwood shelves, as they may absorb odors or stain.
