Turning the Wine Cellar compartment on again

Press again for three seconds the relevant key.

Complete shutdown

To shut down the unit completely for cleaning or maintenance, press the Unit key Ⓤ for three seconds. Also take the plug out of the socket and turn off the omnipolar switch that powers it.

Lengthy shutdown periods

After you have completely shut down the appliance and unplugged it, empty it of all its contents, clean it and dry it. Leave the doors and the drawers ajar to prevent the formation of unpleasant odours.

To prevent accidental modification of settings, the keypad locks automatically after a certain period of time and the display shows the message "keypad locked". To re-activate it, simultaneously press the keys Menu and Up/Down (Down) for three seconds.

At the first start-up, if the message Standby does not appear, it means that the appliance has already started the cooling process. If this is the case, deactivate any possible acoustic signals by pressing the Alarm key close the door and wait until the set temperature is reached.

During the first start-up, you will not be able to use the Menu to modify factory settings until the default temperature has been reached. It is however possible to set the time and date immediately; these parameters are required to activate some of the special functions.

If only the Cantina or Wine Cellar compartment is turned off, the corresponding fan will continue to run independently to prevent the formation of unpleasant odours and mould.

How to adjust the temperature for suit various needs

4.2

To adjust the temperature in the various compartments, use the up/down key for that compartment (see chapter 3.5). If the "keypad locked" message appear, simultaneously press the keys Menu and Up/Down (Down) for 3 seconds.

Wines compartment

Each model has been carefully tested before leaving the factory and is adjusted so as to ensure high performance and low consumption. The ideal temperature for wine conservation does however depend on the types of wine you want to conserve, the method of conservation (Wine Cellar for conservation and consumption, or Cantina for the conservation and aging of prized bottles). It also varies according to personal taste. Please refer to the guide on wine conservation included further ahead in this manual.

As needed, you can reset the temperatures as follows:

- Cantina Compartment: from +4°C to +18°C (from 39.2°F to 64.4°F). The default temperature is +12°C (53.6°F).

■ Wine Cellar compartment: from +4°C to +18°C (from 39.2°F to 64.4°F). The default temperature is +10°C (50°F).

Use of the TriMode compartment

8.1

The TriMode compartment, used in conjunction with the Wine Cellar and Cantina compartment, allows great flexibility in the use of the appliance.

Some possible uses:

Freezer mode

■ Liquors, such as vodka, gin, tequila, schnapps, limoncello and the glasses to serve them
■ Rapid cooling of beverages, by activating the bottle cooler function
■ Storage of large amounts of ice.

Refrigerator mode

■ As expansion of the Wine Cellar or of the Cantina
■ For refrigeration of beer and soft drinks
■ For storage of cold dishes and snacks.

Cooler mode

■ For conservation of ham, salmon
■ gourmet preparations.

It comes without saying that, the compartment can be used in a traditional manner. Suggestions and instructions are provided to offer you best conservation of your food over time in complete safety.

TriMode compartment

8.2

To fully use the capacity of the TriMode compartment:

■ remove the drawer
■ remove the top drawer
■ install the supports delivered with the units (on request)

9.1 General directions

As is known, wine can be stored for long periods of time if this is done under the following conditions:

■ Suitable temperature without appreciable variations over time
■ Controlled level of humidity
■ Protection from light
■ Absence of noise and vibrations
■ Absence of odours
■ Bottle kept horizontal.

All of these conditions are fully met in the Fhiaba Wine Cellar.

9.2 Conservation temperature

Cantina Wine Cellar TriMode

Models with Cantina and Wine Cellar

Wine Cellar TriMode

Models with Wine Cellar

The space offered by the Wine Cellar and Cantina compartments, which can be expanded as necessary by using the TriMode compartment as a wine cellar, allows conservation of your best wines at three different temperatures.

The three compartments are initially set to the following temperatures:

■ Cantina compartment

+12°C (53.6°F) - adjustable from +4°C to +18°C (from 39.2°F to 64.4°F)

■ Wine Cellar compartment

+10°C (50°F) - adjustable from +4°C to +18°C (from 39,2°F to 64,4°F)

TriMode drawer

-18° (0° F) - adjustable from -15° C to -22° C (from 5° F to -7.6° F) (freezer mode)

To transform the TriMode compartment into a wine cellar space, you must access the Menu, set it as a refrigerator compartment, and adjust it to a temperature between +4°C and +8°C (from 39.2°F to 46.4°F).

All the temperatures can be modified according to the characteristics of the wines and personal preferences. However, you should attempt to keep the temperature as constant as possible over time.

Rapid and large-scale temperature variations can in fact cause dilation of the liquid and early aging of the wine.

You should also avoid very low temperatures (below 4^ C - 39.2^ F) which may lead to the formation of deposits and damage the aesthetic qualities of the wine.

All the compartments offer optimal conditions and take into account all these needs. It should however be noted that the Cantina compartment, in particular, is thermostatically controlled in a very precise manner and ensures the utmost care and attention over time of your most prized bottles.

Time of conservation

9.3

Improvement of wine over time and its duration usually depends on the character of the variety and its type. The following chart shows the best period of conservation and aging for various types in ideal conservation conditions offered by your appliance. However, you should always follow the instructions of the winemaker, especially for fine wines.

TYPE OF WINE CONSERVATION TEMPERATURE TIME OF CONSERVATION

New wines (Vin Nouveau) from 12° to 14°C 6 months
Sweet sparkling wines from 8° to 10°C 1 year
Rosé from 10° to 14°C 1 year
Semi-sparkling wines from 10° to 12°C 1 - 2 years
Normal white wines from 10° to 14°C 1 - 2 years
Light red wines	from 12° to 14°C	2 years
Dry sparkling wines	from 8° to 10°C	2 years
Classic sparkling wines	from 8° to 10°C	3 - 4 years
Barrique and Vigorous white wines	from 8° to 12°C	3 - 5 years
Normal red wines	from 14° to 16°C 3 - 5 years
Barrique and Vigorous red wines	from 14° to 18°C	7 - 10 years
Straw wines or Liquorous wines	from 16° to 18°C	10 - 15 years

Consumption temperature

9.4

As a general rule, white wines should be served at a temperature between 10 and 12^ (50 and 53,6^ ) and red wines between 12 and 14^ (53,6 and 57,2^ ). Some wines may however be best enjoyed at higher or lower temperatures.

You should also keep in mind that, during the summer, wine is generally enjoyed at lower temperatures than during the winter.

You should also consider the following:

White wines

White wines are normally not served at high temperatures, since they are generally more acidic that red wines and not very tannic. Therefore they are more enjoyable at low temperatures. It is preferable to serve these wines between 10^ C and 14^ C ( 50^ F and 57,2^ F). Young, fresh and aromatic wines can also be served at 10^ C ( 50^ F), while less aromatic ones are served at 12^ C ( 53,6^ F). Temperatures between 12^ C and 14^ C ( 53,6^ F and 57,2^ F) are for soft, mature white wines that have been aged for some years in the bottle. Higher temperatures would favour the exaltation of the sweet character of the wine, at the expense of the acidity and flavour, which are considered pleasant and desirable characteristics of this type of wine.

Rosé

Rosé wine is served at the same temperature as white wines. It should be noted that these wines may include a certain amount of tannin and may therefore be preferable at higher temperatures. Therefore, they are served between 10°C and 12°C (50°F and 53.6°F), if young and fresh, and between 12°C and 14°C (53.6°F and 57.2°F) if robust and mature.

Due to the special processing they undergo, new vintage wines contain a low tannin content and are therefore more enjoyable if served between 12°C and 14°C (53.6 and 57.2°F).

Red wines

Since they contain more tannin and are less acidic, red wines are normally served at higher temperatures.

Younger wines with less tannin are normally served between 14°C and 16°C (57.2 and 60.8°F), while more full-bodied ones that are more tannic may be served at up to 18°C (64.4°F). Some wines that have aged for years in the bottle, still full-bodies and tannic, may be served at 18°C (64.4°F) or even 20°C (68°F).

Young red wines with little tannin and slightly structured may be enjoyable at lower temperatures, between 12°C and 14°C (53.6 and 57.2°F).

Sparkling wines

It is difficult to provide instructions to cover the wide variety of sparkling wines in available.

As a general rule, sweeter and more aromatic sparkling wines should be served at lower temperatures, down to 8^ C (46,4°F), whereas more tannic sparkling wines may be served at higher temperatures, up to 14^ C (57,2°F).

Dry sparkling wines are usually served between 8°C and 10°C (46.4 and 50°F).

"Classic" sparkling wines are normally served at these temperatures, which may be as high as 12^ (53.6°F) for sparkling wines that have been aged for some time.

It is however advisable, especially for finer wines, to follow the suggestions and recommendations of the winemaker on the bottle.

These types of wines can be served at temperatures between 16°C and 18°C (60,8 and 64,4°F), depending on personal tastes, to attenuate the sweet taste of straw wines, it can also be served at 10°C (50°F).

9.5 Position of bottles

Whether your collection holds fine bouteilles or petit bouteilles, they will be right at home in the Fhiaba Wine Cellar. A special accessory, available on request, will let you place them in an inclined position, in order to display the labels of your most prized items.

Also Magnum bouteilles can be stored, provided you remove the shelf just above the one that will hold them.

If the TriMode compartment is also used as a wine cellar, the bottles may be kept in a horizontal position, as long as they do not move or touch one another. A special accessory for this purpose may be provided on request.

The edges of the condenser are sharp, therefore use adequate protection for the hands and arms when cleaning the condenser.

A ventilation grille is located either at the top of the appliance or at the bottom according to the model type.

A foam filter is placed behind the grille to protect from dust the ventilation system.

To clean it use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment at maximum power, sweeping it along the vent slits. In case of a significant dust build up, the ventilation grille can be removed to allow a more accurate cleaning of the filter.

Take care also to check the condition of the finned condenser and clean it from dust if needed.

Operate as follows:

• Switch off the appliance by pressing the Unit button on the main control panel for approx 3 seconds.
• On models with ventilation at the base remove the grille at the bottom and take it off. On models with ventilation at the top the grille (magnetically attached) lift as shown in the picture.
• Thoroughly clean the grille and the foam filter, by means of a vacuum cleaner and the soft brush attachment.
• Wait approx 30 minutes, until the finned condenser cools down to room temperature, then clean it thoroughly from any dust build up as shown in the picture, taking care not to damage it.
• Start up the appliance again, by pressing the Unit button on the main control panel for approx 3 seconds.

Internal cleaning 12.3

Do not use water on the electrical parts, lights and control panel.

Clean the internal and removable parts by washing them with a solution of lukewarm water, a small amount of dishwashing detergent.

Rinse and dry right away.

Do not bring cold glass parts into contact with boiling water.

Do not use mechanical devices or other methods to speed up defrosting.

Do not wash any parts of the refrigerator in a dishwashing machine since this could damage or irreparably deform the parts.
