Using the wine cellar

Bottle ageing compartment

The ageing compartment's main function is that of guaranteeing that your wines are preserved in optimal conditions.

The wine cellar's temperature was factory pre-set at 15^ , a temperature that is considered optimal for most wines.

Wine has a complex nature and it derives from a long and slow process. In order 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.

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 through time is important. Wine preservation is ideal at any temperature, as long as that temperature does not vary.

Manual temperature control

Should you need to adjust the temperature inside the

wine cellar, 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 (see Control Panel) for one second. 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.

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 placing the longer bottles (Rhine wine type) at the cellar base. The base is suitable for hosting larger bottles.

Preservation 28 Bottles (100% lying down) 1 shelf

- 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 3th 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.

Maintenance and troubleshooting

Care and maintenance

Disconnecting the wine cellar

During cleaning and maintenance, it is imperative that you unplug the wine cellar.

Troubleshooting

If you notice that your wine cellar is not working properly, check with the following list before you call your Service Centre.

Problem Possible causes/solutions

The compressor does not work • The plug is not plugged into the wall-outlet or not enough to make contact. Or, there could be a power failure in your home.

- The wall-outlet is not in working order. Plug the wine cellar into another wall-outlet to check.

The compressor never stops • Contact the Service Centre Indel B

• Any work that is done to the wine cellar should be performed by your authorized local Service Centre Indel B.
• Short term faults, such as power failure, will not compromise the wines. It is only when working faults are left unsettled for a long time that the wine may suffer.

Environmental Regulations

Should you wish to discard the machine for any reason, please comply with the following: Take the machine to the local authorized company that collects discarded household appliances. Correct processing enable valuable materials to be recycled in an intelligent manner. Before discarding your machine it is important that you cut off the power supply cord and remove it together with the plug. This machine has been accorded the appropriate mark in accordance with European Directive 2002/96EG regarding discarded electric and electronic equipment. This directive determines the standards for the collection and recycling of discarded equipment that apply to the entire territory of the European Union.
