2.2. Product usage

This appliance allows you to store your bottles or bring them to service temperature (depending on the bottles) thanks to its wide adjustment range. This appliance is specifically intended for wine storage.

Important information concerning installation!

• To ensure proper electrical connection, follow the recommendations given in this manual.
• Unpack the appliance and visually check that it is not damaged. Please do not connect a damaged appliance. If the appliance has any damage, inform your retailer or point of sale and keep the packaging.
• It is recommended that the appliance may settle for at least 24 hours before plugging it to the mains, so that the compressor fluid feed is correct.
• Proper air circulation is necessary to avoid overheating. To ensure sufficient ventilation, observe the provided installation recommendations.
• To avoid the risk of fire, wherever possible, make sure the appliance is not in contact with walls or any hot element (compressor, condenser). Therefore, observe the installation recommendations.
• The appliance should not be placed close to radiators or cooking hot plates or gas burners.
• Please ensure that electrical sockets remain accessible when the appliance is installed.

[you can trust]

Power saving

To limit power consumption:

• Install your appliance in a suitable place (see "Installation instructions").
• Leave the doors open as little time as possible.
• To ensure that the appliance operates properly, clean the condenser regularly (see “Maintenance and cleaning”).
• Regularly inspect the door seals and ensure that they are still closing properly. If this is not the case, contact your after-sales service.

Refrigerating fluid

The refrigerating circuit in the appliance uses refrigerating isobutane (R600a), which is a highly inflammable natural gas and is therefore dangerous for the environment. When transporting or installing the appliance, please make sure that no element of the refrigerating circuit is damaged, as the refrigerating fluid (R600a) is inflammable.

Installation instructions

Before using your wine cooler:

• Remove inner and outer packaging.
• Before plugging the appliance to the electrical socket, leave it in position for 24 hours. This will reduce the refrigeration circuit's possibility of malfunction due to transport.
• Clean the inside using a soft cloth and lukewarm water.

BECKEN

Using your wine cooler

• Your wine cooler must be positioned in a room with an ambient temperature between 16 and +38 °C
• If the ambient temperature is higher or lower, your appliance's performance may be affected and it may not reach temperatures set for each model.

Installing your wine cooler

• This wine cooler is designed for free-standing installation.
• Position it in a place strong enough to support its weight when loaded. To ensure that it is levelled, adjust the height of the feet underneath.
• To get the best from your appliance with the lowest energy consumption, do not place the appliance close to a heat source (heater, cooker, etc.), do not expose it to direct sunlight, and do not place it in a room that is too cold.
• Connect the appliance to a single socket, leaving a 20 mm gap between the back of the cooler and the side wall. Be careful when adjusting it, so that your wine cooler is perfectly levelled. This will avoid any movement due to instability, generating noise and vibration, and will ensure that the door seals perfectly.

Reversing the Door

Please note the door is not reversible.

Equipment

The climate control system

According to advice from specialists, the ideal temperature for storing wine is around 12 °C, within a bracket of 10 to 14 °C. Do not confuse this with service temperature, which varies between 5 and 20 °C, depending on the specific nature of the wine.

It is especially important to avoid sudden changes in temperature. Designed by specialists for oenophiles, this appliance, unlike a simple refrigerator, takes into account the sensitivity of grand cru wines to sudden variations in temperature by ensuring the close control of a constant average temperature.

The anti-vibration system

The refrigeration compressor is equipped with special dampers (silent-blocks) and the inner space is insulated from the body by a thick layer of polyurethane foam. These characteristics avoid transmitting vibration to your wines.

Defrosting

Your appliance is equipped with an automatic defrost cycle, so when a cooling cycle finishes, the appliance's refrigerated surfaces are defrosted automatically. The defrost water is channelled into a condensates evaporation tray which is located in the back of the appliance near the compressor. The heat produced by the compressor then evaporates the condensates collected in the tray.

Loading

The maximum recommended bottle loading is given as guideline and is for reference only; it provides a quick estimate of the size of the appliance (similar to the capacity of a refrigerator expressed in litres).

These figures correspond to tests conducted with a standard bottle: the standard “75 cl light Bordeaux” bottle - standards apply the geographical origin of each bottle shape (Bordeaux, Burgundy, Provence, etc.) and a type (traditional, heavy, light, flute, etc.), each with its own diameter and height.

In reality and in extreme cases, you could store more bottles by stacking the same type of bottle without using shelves, but a varied cellar comprises a wide variety of bottles and the practical aspect of everyday cellar management limits its capacity. You will therefore probably load the appliance a little less than the recommended maximum.

Storing your wine cooler

If you will not be using your appliance for short periods, leave the control panel with its usual settings.

During an extended shutdown:

• Remove all bottles from the appliance.
• Unplug the appliance.
• Thoroughly clean the inside and outside of the appliance.
• Leave the door open to avoid condensation, unpleasant odours and moul.

[you can trust]

What to do in the event of a power cut

Most power cuts are resolved within a short time. A power cut of 1 or 2 hours will not affect the temperature in your cooler. To protect your wines during a power cut, avoid opening the door as much as possible. During extended power cuts, take the necessary measures to protect your wine.

• If the appliance is unplugged or if there is a power cut, you must wait three to five minutes before restarting. If you try to restart before this time, the compressor will only restart after 3 to 5 minutes (if the temperature requires).
• When switching it on for the first time or following an extended shutdown, it is possible that when restarting, the temperatures selected and those displayed are not the same. Please note that this is normal, and it will take a few hours before they stabilise.

If you need to move your wine cooler

• First, unplug your appliance.
• Remove all bottles and secure any loose parts.
• To avoid damaging the levelling screws on the feet, screw them tightly into the base.
• Move the appliance in an upright position (preferably) or note the direction in which the appliance may be laid down by looking at its packaging.

BECKEN

In the event of a breakdown

Despite the care we take during production, a breakdown can never be totally ruled out. Before contacting your retailer's after-sales department, please check if:

1. The appliance is properly plugged in;
2. A power cut is in progress;
3. The breakdown different than the ones described in the troubleshoot table at the end of this manual.

CAUTION!: Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance or repair work.

2.3. Maintenance and cleaning

Before cleaning your appliance (something to be done regularly), unplug it from the mains by removing the plug or by pulling the fuse on the circuit.

Before using your appliance for the first time and regularly after that, we recommend that you clean the inside and outside (front, sides and top) with a soaked piece of cloth in warm water mixed with a gentle cleaning product. Then rinse with clean water and let it dry before reconnecting it. Do not use metal objects, steam systems, volatile fluids, organic solvents or abrasive substances.

Wooden shelves require no particular maintenance.

Do not use sharp or pointy objects to remove ice. Please use a plastic scraper instead.

When the appliance is switched on for the first time, there may be a residual odour. In that case, run the appliance empty for a few hours at the coldest possible temperature, as the cold will remove any odours.

[you can trust]

• Any electrical work should be carried out by a qualified and skilled technician.
• The appliance should be repaired by an accredited repair centre, using only the manufacturer's original spare parts.
