4. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

When selecting a location for your appliance you should make sure the floor is flat and firm, and the room is well ventilated. An average ambient temperature must be observed. This temperature is specific according to the climatic class of the device:

Note : This refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 32 °C.

Before using this appliance

• Remove the exterior and interior packing.
• Before connecting the appliance to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 24 hours.
  This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.
• Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
• When disposing your appliance, please choose an authorized disposal site.
• Place your wine cooler on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded. To level your Wine cooler, adjust the front leveling leg at the bottom of the wine cooler.
• Adequate ventilation is required, do not block the front air outlet.
  • This wine cellar is designed for free-standing.
• Connect the cellar to a single socket, leaving a 30-mm gap between the back of the cellar and the wall. Be careful to support it, so that your wine cellar is perfectly level (use of a spirit level is recommended). This will prevent any movement due to instability, causing noise and vibration, and will ensure that the door seals perfectly.
• This appliance is intended to be used exclusively for the storage of wine.
• This appliance is using flammability refrigerant. So never damage the cooling pipe work during the transportation.

CAUTION

• Store wine in sealed bottles.
- Do not overload the cabinet.
- Do not open the door unless necessary.
- Do not cover shelves with aluminum foil or any other shelf material which may prevent air circulation.
- Should the wine cooler be left empty for long periods it is suggested that the appliance is unplugged, and after careful cleaning, leave the door ajar to allow air to circulate inside the cabinet in order to avoid possible condensation, mold or odors forming.

Ambient room temperature limits

• This appliance is designed to operate in ambient temperatures specified by its temperature class marked on the rating plate.
• The ambient temperature affects the interior temperature and humidity of your cellar. For optimal operation, the settings of your cellar are carried out for ambient temperatures of 23^ C to 25^ C.

By pressing and holding at the same time for at least three seconds (1), (5) and (6), the indicator light will flash five times to confirm the entry and the device will operate in eco-demo mode. The demo-eco mode can be abandoned by repeating the above process, note that the compressor and fan will activate 5 seconds later (for compressor protection reasons).

6. EQUIPMENT

6.1 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 18^ 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.

6.2 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 prevent the transmission of vibration to your wines.

6.3 The anti-UV system

Light accelerates the ageing of wine. In our solid door cellars, your wines are naturally protected, on condition, of course, that the door is not opened too often. This glass-door model has been specially treated and filters out harmful ultraviolet rays, thus ensuring your wines are perfectly shielded.

6.4 Defrosting

Your appliance is equipped with an automatic defrost cycle. When a cooling cycle finishes, the appliance's refrigerated surfaces are defrosted automatically. The defrost water is channeled 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.

6.6 The winter function

The winter function is a frost protection system which enables the cellar to operate in an environment where the temperature is between 5 and 38°C. A sensor located outside the appliance triggers a low power electrical element when the ambient temperature in the room falls to around 8°C in case. This is a low power element to avoid sudden rises in the temperature of the wine and so avoid thermal shocks that are damaging to the preservation of the wine. The kit is intended to raise the cellar's internal temperature even before there is a thermal exchange with the bottles.

6.5 Shelves

To prevent damage to the door seal, ensure that the door is fully open before pulling out the shelves to add or remove bottles.
For easier access to the contents of the shelves, slide the shelf out approximately one third of the way. The shelves are, however, fitted with a stop to prevent the bottles falling out.

7. LOADING

The maximum recommended loading quantities for bottles are given as guidelines and are indicative only; they provide a quick estimate of the size of the appliance (similar to the capacity of a refrigerator expressed in liters).

Back of the shelf

Pure diagram of six identical abstract shapes arranged in a grid, no text or symbols present.

They 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. > These caves present bottles of wine, thanks to the highlighting of the labels of each wine. You will find below the plan of loading of your bottles on a clay, knowing that it is possible to put up to 9 bottles on a shelf.

Front of the shelf

Opinions vary, and the ambient temperature too, but many people agree on the following:

Prestigious Bordeaux wines – Reds 16 – 17°C

Prestigious Burgundy wines – Reds 15 – 16°C

Prestigious dry white vintages 14 - 16°C

Light, young, fruity reds 11 – 12°C

Provence rosés, primeur wines 10 – 12°C

Dry whites and vin de pays reds 10 - 12°C

Vin de pays whites 8 - 10°C

Champagnes 7 - 8°C

Sweet wines 6°C

8. CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Before cleaning your appliance (something that should be done regularly), disconnect it 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, side and top) with warm mixed with a gentle cleaning product. Rinse with clean water and allow drying before reconnecting. Do not use solvents or abrasives. When the appliance is switched on for the first time, there may be a residual odor. In that case, runt the appliance empty for a few hours at the coldest possible temperature. The cold will kill any odors.

8.2 Moving your wine cooler

Remove all items.

Securely tape down all loose items (shelves) inside your appliance.
Turn the adjustable leg up to the base to avoid damage.
Tape the door shut.
Be sure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation. Also protect outside of appliance with a blanket, or similar item.

8.1 In case 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 cabinet. To protect your wines during a power cut, avoid opening the door as much as possible.
During very long power cuts, take the necessary measures to protect your wine. If the appliance is disconnected or if there is a power cut, you must wait three to five minutes before restarting. If you try to re-start before this time, the compressor will only re-start after 3 to 5 minutes (if the temperature requires). When switching on for the first time or following a prolonged shutdown, it is possible that when re-starting, the temperatures selected and those displayed are not the same. This is normal. It will take a few hours before they stabilize.

9. 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 that:

The appliance is properly plugged in.
There is not a power cut in progress.
The breakdown is not one of those described in the table at the end of this manual.

IMPORTANT: If the power cable supplied is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, a service centre approved by the brand or the retailer. In all events, it must be replaced by qualified personnel in order to avoid any risk of injury.
