Precautions for Use of Wine Cellars

Do not place too much wine in the cellar so as not to exceed the bearing capacity of the wine shelves. Do not place more than three layers of wine on each shelf. The number of wine bottles should not exceed three layers on each shelf, and the bearing capacity of the wine shelves should not exceed 35kg.

Before placing the bottles inside the wine cellar, confirm whether or not the wine shelves are completely stable.

In addition, confirm whether or not any bottle protrudes from the shelves in order to prevent bottles hitting the glass door upon closing.

Automatic Defrosting

This appliance has an automatic defrosting function.

During use, ensure that the drainage hole is unblocked so

as to force defrosting water to flow smoothly through

the drainage hole into the water receiver inside the cellar cabin.

Regularly clean water tank at the bottom of the compartments; use a dry cloth to absorb water inside the water tank and wipe down them (clean them every three months as suggested).

Air exchange with activated carbon filter

The way in which wines continue to mature depends on the ambient conditions. The quality of the air is therefore decisive for preserving the wine. An activated carbon filter has been fitted in the lower area of the rear wall of the appliance to ensure that the air through put remains at an optimum quality.

We recommend that you replace the filter once a year. Filters can be obtained from your dealer.

Changing the filter:

Take the filter by the handle. Turn it to the left and remove.

Inserting the filter:

Insert with the handle in a vertical position. Turn it to the right and insert.

Shelving

• The shelves are designed for appearance and easy cleaning. Larger bottles or Magnums can be more easily accommodated at the cross shelves at the bottom of the cellar.
• There are some shelves for easy storage and removal of your wine.

Normal Operating Sounds You May Hear

• Water flowing sound or slight vibrations that are the result of the refrigerant circulating through the cooling coils.
• The compressor will click when it cycles on and off.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Remarks:
1. According to international standards, if the climate is an SN-ST type, the ambient temperature for use of the wine cellar ranges between 10^ and 38^ .
2. "Noise (acoustic power level)" marked in the technical data refers to a situation in which the semi-anechoic room is set up as thick as specified according to national standards, in the case of an empty wine cellar, a resilient rubber cushion as thick as 5 mm to 6 mm is placed inside. It can run for at least 30 minutes after the door is closed. A test will be conducted after stable running (excluding startup and shutdown). Ground noise will be tested at 1 m from the front, rear, left and right surfaces of the wine cellar respectively.

During use, it is normal that the actual noise is different from the marked noise due to the effects of the type of wine stored in the wine cellar, ambient noise, door opening and closing, compressor startup and shutdown, etc.
