General safety

Warning!

Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.

- This appliance is intended to be used exclusively for the storage of wine.

- Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial means to speed up the thawing process.

- Do not use other electrical appliances (such as ice cream makers) inside of refrigerating appliances, unless they are approved for this purpose by the manufacturer.

- Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.

- The refrigerant isobutane (R600a) is contained within the refrigerant circuit of the appliance, a natural gas with a high level of environmental compatibility, which is nevertheless flammable.

During transportation and installation of the appliance, be certain that none of the components of the refrigerant circuit become damaged.

If the refrigerant circuit should become damaged:

- avoid open flames and sources of ignition

– thoroughly ventilate the room in which the appliance is situated

- It is dangerous to alter the specifications or modify this product in any way. Any damage to the cord may cause a short-circuit, fire and/or electric shock.

Warning! Any electrical component (power cord, plug, compressor) must be replaced by a certified service agent or qualified service personnel.

1. Power cord must not be lengthened.

2. Make sure that the power plug is not squashed or damaged by the back of the appliance. A squashed or damaged power plug may overheat and cause a fire.

3. Make sure that you can come to the mains plug of the appliance.

4. Do not pull the mains cable.

5. If the power plug socket is loose, do not insert the power plug. There is a risk of electric shock or fire.

6. You must not operate the appliance without the lamp cover (If the lamp cover is foreseen) of interior lighting.

7. This appliance is heavy. Care should be taken when moving it.

8. Do not remove nor touch items from the freezer compartment if your hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or frost/freezer burns.
9. Avoid prolonged exposure of the appliance to direct sunlight.
10. Bulb lamps (If the lamp is foreseen) used in this appliance are special purpose lamps selected for household appliances use only. They are not suitable for household room illumination.

Daily use

• Do not put hot pot on the plastic parts in the appliance.

Wine arrangement

Line drawing of a double-free refrigerator with shelves stocked with bottles and one open door (no text or symbols)

Top Compartment:

The temperature can be adjusted between +6 and +11°C. This compartment is ideal for wines, especially new reds and whites, to be consumed immediately. Operation compartments with differentiated temperatures.

Bottom Compartment:

The temperature can be adjusted between +11 and +18°C. This compartment is ideal for storing and refining red or white wines for long periods.

The temperatures of this compartment are suitable for storing aged and full-bodied wines.

Lay the bottles down in such a way that the corks do not dry.

Keep the wine in the dark. The door is in anti-UV darkened double glass to protect the wine from the light in case the refrigerator is located in a well-lit place.

Avoid switching the appliance light on too often or for too long. Wine keeps better in the dark.

Handle the bottles with care, to avoid agitating the wine.

Follow the recommendations and advice received at the time of purchase or given in the technical documentation regarding the quality, duration and optimum storage temperature of the wine.

Storage advice

The storage time for wine depends on ageing, the type of grapes, alcoholic content and level of fructose and tannin contained in it. At the time of purchase, check if the wine is already aged or if it will improve over time.

Recommended storage temperatures:

- For champagne and sparkling wines, between 6 and 8°C

• For white wines, between 10 and 12^
• For rose' and light red wines, between 12 and 16^
• Aged red wines, 14 -16°C

When placing various bottles on top of each other, make sure they do not touch the refrigerator cooling plate.

Wine Cellar shelves

The bottom compartment is fitted with a basket useful for placing upright and sloping bottles.

Humidifier

Line drawing of a mechanical device with a tray and side brackets (no text or symbols)

The right humidity is vitally important for the proper storage of wine.

Your Wine Cellar is fitted with a special humidifying device that increases the humidity inside the appliance.

Spread out the lava stones provided along the small tray as show in the picture. Then fill the tray with water up to the half of its capacity.

In normal operation, the lava stones are regularly humidified by the water, periodically check at water present inside the tray and refill it when needed.

Note that if the humidity in the area in which your appliance is installed is particularly high, the interior of your Wine Cellar will also be relatively more humid.

This may result in bottles misting up when the door is opened or labels peeling off. In this case reduce the quantity of water in the tray accordingly.

Air circulation

Technical line drawing of a mechanical component with internal flow arrows (no text or symbols)

The refrigerator compartment has a special AIRLIGHT fan which is automatically activated in function of the appliance thermostat setting and ambient conditions.

CARE AND CLEANING

Caution! Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance operation.

This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling unit; maintenance and re-charging must therefore only be carried out by authorized technicians.

Periodic cleaning

The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:

• clean the inside and accessories with lukewarm water and some neutral soap.
• regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are clean and free from debris.
• rinse and dry thoroughly.

Important! Do not pull, move or damage any pipes and/or cables inside the cabinet. Never use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products or wax polishes to clean the interior as this will damage the surface and leave a strong odour.

Clean the condenser (black grill) and the compressor at the back of the appliance with a brush. This operation will improve the performance of the appliance and save electricity consumption.

Defrosting the refrigerator

Periods of non-operation

When the appliance is not in use for long periods, take the following precautions:

• disconnect the appliance from electricity supply
• defrost (if foreseen) and clean the appliance and all accessories

WHAT TO DO IF...

Warning! Before troubleshooting, disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket. Only a qualified electrician or competent person must do the troubleshooting that is not in this manual.

Important! Take care of not to damage the cooling system.

Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners contain chemicals that can attack/damage the plastics used in this appliance. For this reason it is recommended that the outer casing of this appliance is only cleaned with warm water with a little washing-up liquid added. After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to the mains supply.

Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of the refrigerator compartment every time the motor compressor stops, during normal use. The defrost water drains out through a drain hole into a special container at the back of the appliance, over the motor compressor, where it evaporates. It is important to periodically clean the defrost water drain hole in the middle of the refrigerator compartment channel to prevent the water overflowing and dripping on-to the food inside.

• leave the door/doors ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.
  If the cabinet will be kept on, ask somebody to check it once in a while to prevent the food inside from spoiling in case of a power failure.

Important! There are some sounds during normal use (compressor, refrigerant circulation).
