1. Replace the activated charcoal filter with a new one.
2. Replace the filter cap following the indications in points 1 and 2.

Replacement filters can be ordered from Authorised Service Centres.

Noises during operation

The wine cellar is cooled by means of a compression system. In order to maintain the preset temperature inside the wine cellar, the compressor comes into operation in response to the level of cooling required, and may operate continuously if necessary. When the compressor starts to function, it creates a buzzing noise which generally diminishes in intensity after a few minutes.

Another normal wine cellar operating noise is a gurgling due to the refrigerant flowing through the pipes in the circuit. This noise is normal and does not indicate an appliance malfunction.

Turning the appliance off

Whenever the appliance is to remain unused for long periods, it should be switched off.

1. Press and hold the ON/OFF
   on the control panel for a few seconds until the appliance turns off.
2. Unplug the appliance from the wall socket.
3. Empty the wine cellar.
4. Dry any residual moisture which has accumulated with a soft cloth.
5. Leave the door ajar to prevent the humidity and trapped air from creating unpleasant smells.

3.7 Alarms

The alarms help protect the wine from temperatures which could compromise its quality.

Each alarm consists of a message flashing

on the display, the Alarm key lighting up and an audible warning.

The display continues to flash until the alarm condition finishes.

• To deactivate the alarm, press the Alarm

key.

Temperature alarm

The temperature on the display may start to flash. This means that the temperature inside the wine cellar compartment is too high or too low in relation to that set.

This may occur:

• when the appliance is first turned on;
• if a temperature much higher or much lower than the previous one is set;
• if the wine cellar is loaded with many bottles at ambient temperature;
• in the event of an extended interruption in mains voltage.

These conditions may occur during normal operations of the appliance and are not caused by problems/faults.

In this case, deactivate the alarm with the

Alarm

and wait for the

temperature to return within the normal storage values. It may be necessary to repeat this operation 1–2 times.

If the alarm continues to occur, call Technical Support.

3.8 Food storage advice

White wines

White wines are generally more acidic than reds and contain less tannin. To be enjoyed at its best, an acidic drink should usually be stored at a slightly lower temperature than other types, and so these wines should be stored at a temperature between 10^ C and 14^ C.

Young, fresh, aromatic white wines can be served at a temperature as low as 10^ C, while for less aromatic wines 12^ C is recommended. For full, mature white wines which have aged in the bottle for a few years, higher temperatures are acceptable and they can be served at between 12^ C and 14^ C.

Serving a white wine at a higher temperature means emphasising its "sweet" properties, while the acidity and sharpness considered pleasant and desirable in wines of this kind will be less noticeable.

Rosé wines

Generally, the rules for serving rosé wines are the same as for whites. However, it is important to consider these wines' tannin content and serve them at a higher temperature if necessary so that their flavour is not too sharp. Tannin content permitting, young, fresh rosé wines are served between 10°C and 12°C, while more robust, full-bodied types, including more mature wines, can be served between 12°C and 14°C.

Red wines

The serving temperature for red wines depends on a great deal of factors, but in view of their higher tannin and lower acidity than whites, they are usually served at higher temperatures. Young red wines with low tannin are usually served between 14° and 16°C, while for more full-bodied types 16°C or in exceptional cases even 18°C may be recommended.

Young red wines high in tannins and with a fairly uncomplicated structure can be served at between 12°C and 14°C without tasting too sharp, and will still be very pleasant. This rule applies to "nouveau" wines, made by a special method which reduces their tannin content; they can be appreciated to the full at cooler temperatures than other red wines.

Sparkling wines

In view of the large number of types of sparkling wines on the market, there would be little sense in laying down one rule to fit them all. Sweet, aromatic white sparkling wines can be served at a temperature as low as 8°C. Their aromatic nature means they are excellent at low temperatures.

Sweet red sparkling wines such as Brachetto may be served at temperatures between 10^ C and 12^ C. Here again, the more aromatic sparkling wines are suitable for lower temperatures, even down to 8^ C, while those with a slightly higher tannin content require temperatures as high as 14^ C.

Dry sparkling wines made by the "Charmat method" or "Martinotti method", such as some Prosecco wines, can be served at temperatures between 8°C and 10°C. Sparkling wines made by the "traditional method" and the "méthode Champenoise", such as Champagne, require special consideration: in general these sparkling wines are served at temperatures between 8°C and 10°C. However, for prestige wines marked with the vintage, or sparkling wines that have been aged for a long time, even 12°C may be advisable to allow the development of the complex bouquet that has been slowly and painstakingly built up over the years.

Dessert wines and fortified wines

These two types of wine generally both contain a high alcohol percentage and they are both often also sweet. However, there are dry dessert wines, such as Marsala, with a sugar content so low as to be almost imperceptible on the palate. For these wines, the serving temperature depends on which features you wish to emphasise. If you prefer to accentuate the wine's sweetness, the complexity of its bouquet and its austerity, it should be served at a high temperature, between 14°C and 18°C. Remember that in this case its alcohol content will also be more in evidence.

If you require a fresher sensation, or to reduce the sweetness of over-sweet wines, serve at a lower temperature, between 10^ C and 14^ C.

Young, fresh, dry dessert wines can be served at colder temperatures, below 10^ C. This makes the alcohol content considerably less noticeable. However, remember that as the temperature is reduced the bouquet also becomes less evident. One of these wines' key characteristics is the charm and complexity of their bouquet; serving them too cold also means sacrificing this important feature.

Storage temperatures

To enjoy the flavour and bouquet of each wine at its best, it should be stored and drunk at a specific temperature. The recommended temperatures for different kinds of wines are given below.

Type of wine Temperature
Young whites 10°C - 12°C
Mature whites 12°C - 14°C
Young, light rosés 10°C - 12°C
Mature, full-bodied rosés 12°C - 14°C
Nouveau reds 10°C - 14°C
Young, light reds with low tannin	14°C - 16°C
Mature, full-bodied reds with high tannin	16°C - 18°C
Very mature and cask-aged reds	16°C - 18°C
Sweet and aromatic sparkling wines	8°C
Sweet and aromatic red sparkling wines	10°C - 12°C
"Charmat method" sparkling wines	8°C - 10°C
"Long Charmat method" sparkling wines	10°C - 12°C
"Traditional method" sparkling wines without year	8°C - 10°C
"Traditional method" sparkling wines with year	10°C - 12°C
Dessert wines 10°C - 18°C
Fortified or liqueur wines 10°C - 18°C
