- If the refrigerating appliance is left empty for long periods, switch it off, defrost, clean, dry, and leave the door open to prevent mould from developing inside the appliance.
INSTALLATION
⚠️ The appliance must be handled and installed by two or more persons - risk of injury. Use protective gloves to unpack and install - risk of cuts.
⚠️ Installation, including water supply (if any), electrical connections, and repairs must be carried out by a qualified technician. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically stated in the user manual. Keep children away from the installation site. After unpacking the appliance, make sure that it has not been damaged during transport. In the event of problems, contact the dealer or your nearest Aftersales Service. Once installed, packaging waste (plastic, styrofoam parts, etc.) must be stored out of reach of children - risk of suffocation. The appliance must be disconnected from the power supply before any installation operation - risk of electric shock. During installation, make sure the appliance does not damage the power cable - risk of fire or electric shock. Only activate the appliance when the installation has been completed.
⚠️ Be careful not to damage the floors (e.g., parquet) when moving the appliance. Install the appliance on a floor or support strong enough to take its weight and in a place suitable for its size and use. Make sure the appliance is not near a heat source and that the four
feet are stable and resting on the floor, adjusting them as required, and check that the appliance is perfectly level using a spirit level. Wait at least two hours before switching the appliance on, to ensure that the refrigerant circuit is fully efficient.
⚠ WARNING: When positioning the appliance, ensure the supply cord is not trapped or damaged. WARNING: To avoid a hazard due to instability, positioning or fixing of the appliance must be done in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. It is forbidden to place the refrigerator in such a way that the metal hose of a gas stove, metal gas or water pipes, or electrical wires are in contact with the refrigerator's back wall (condenser coil). ⚠️ To guarantee adequate ventilation, leave a space on both sides and above the appliance. The distance between the rear of the appliance and the wall behind it should be 50mm, to avoid access to hot surfaces. A reduction of this space will increase the energy consumption of the product.
ELECTRICAL WARNINGS
It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from the power supply by unplugging it if the plug is accessible, or by a multi-pole switch installed upstream of the socket in accordance with the wiring rules. The appliance must be earthed in conformity with national electrical safety standards. Do not use extension leads, multiple sockets, or adapters. The electrical components must not be accessible to the user after installation. Do not use the appliance when you are wet or barefoot. Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged power cable or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced with an identical one by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard - risk of electric shock.
WARNING: Do not locate multiple portable socket-outlets or portable power supplies at the rear of the appliance.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Ensure that the appliance is switched off and disconnected from the power supply before performing any maintenance operation; never use steam cleaning equipment - risk of electric shock.
Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches, or cleansers containing petroleum products on plastic parts, interior and door liners, or gaskets. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools.
DISPOSAL OF PACKAGING MATERIALS
The packaging material is 100% recyclable and is marked with the recycle symbol. The various parts of the packaging must therefore be disposed of responsibly and in full compliance with local authority regulations governing waste disposal.
DISPOSAL OF HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES
This appliance is manufactured with recyclable or reusable materials. Dispose of it in accordance with local waste disposal regulations. For further information on the treatment, recovery, and recycling of household electrical appliances, contact your local authority, the collection service for household waste, or the store where you purchased the appliance. This appliance is marked in compliance with European Directive 2012/19/EU, Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). By ensuring this product is disposed of correctly, you will help prevent negative consequences for the environment and human health. The symbol on the product or on the accompanying documentation indicates that it should not be treated as domestic waste but must be taken to an appropriate collection centre for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
To guarantee adequate ventilation, follow the installation instructions. Insufficient ventilation at the back of the product increases energy consumption and decreases cooling efficiency. Frequent door opening might cause an increase in energy consumption. The internal temperature of the appliance and the energy consumption may also be affected by the ambient temperature, as well as the location of the appliance. Temperature setting should take these factors into consideration. Reduce door opening to a minimum. When thawing frozen food, place it in the refrigerator. The low temperature of the frozen products cools the food in the refrigerator. Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before placing them in the appliance.
Positioning of the shelves in the refrigerator has no impact on the efficient usage of energy. Food should be placed on the shelves in such a way to ensure proper air circulation (food should not touch each other, and distance between food and the rear wall should be kept).
You can increase storage capacity of frozen food by removing baskets and, if present, the Stop Frost shelf. Do not worry about noises coming from the compressor, which are normal operation noises.

Product Description

Control Panel
Using the wine cellar
Bottle ageing compartment
The ageing compartment's main function is to guarantee that your wines are preserved in optimal conditions.
The temperature has been set at the factory to a temperature that is considered excellent in most cases and is 15°C in the upper compartment.
Wine has a complex nature and derives from a long and slow process. To best express its attributes, very specific conditions are necessary. All wines are preserved at the same temperature, but, depending on their different characteristics, wines are served and tasted at very different temperatures (see the Table of ideal wine temperatures).
Therefore, just as for manufacturers' wine cellars, for your new appliance, the absolute temperature value is not important for preserving your wine. Rather, the constant temperature over time is important. Wine preservation is ideal at any temperature, as long as that temperature does not vary.
Manual temperature control
When you plug in your wine cellar, the display shows the temperature inside the cellar: it has been set to reach 15°C and become steady on it.
Should you need to adjust it, follow the instructions below:
1. When you plug in your wine cellar, the display shows the temperature that has been set. 2. Press the + button for one second (see the Control Panel). The temperature will begin to blink. 3. Press the + or - buttons until you reach the desired temperature. 4. Wait 5 seconds for the temperature to stop blinking. 5. Wait until the wine cellar reaches its temperature before you place the wine bottles inside.
The inside light does not go on (or it goes off temporarily) when the inside temperature goes over 24°C. This allows you to reach the pre-set temperature more quickly.
Taking out the wooden shelves
WARNING: The wooden shelves are not sliding.
Do not take them out when loaded with bottles, to prevent the risk of the bottles breaking.
You can take the shelves out for cleaning only when they are not loaded with any bottles.
Table of ideal wine temperatures
This table indicates the approximate temperatures at which wine should be served. Should one of your wines need to be served at a temperature that is greater than the temperature inside your wine cellar, we suggest that you leave it out for the time that is necessary before you serve it.

Stocking the wine bottles
Standard 24-bottle stock
The 24-bottle stock (for standard, mixed, and renana bottles) is recommended for wines that need to be visible and easily removed.
STANDARD
24 Bottles (100% lying down)
3 shelves
Position each bottle into the slots on the 3 wooden shelves. 6 bottles can be placed on the bottom of the wine cellar.
We suggest you place the Renana bottles onto the lower shelf and the bottom of the wine cellar because they have been specially designed to hold larger bottles.
! The wooden shelf can safely hold up to 22 bottles
Champagne bottle stock
Champagne bottles are larger than standard bottles. They must be placed onto the base of the wine cellar, which can hold up to 5.
If you want to stock more than 5 Champagne bottles in your wine cellar, remove the 3rd shelf and stock the bottles in two rows (placing the bottles in the second row between those on the bottom row). This will hold up to 9 bottles.
