4. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Before using your wine cellar Remove the inner and outer packaging. Before connecting the cellar to the electrical socket, leave it in position for 24 hours. This will reduce the possibility of malfunction of the refrigeration circuit due to transport. Clean the inside using a soft cloth and lukewarm water. Using your wine cellar Your wine cellar must be positioned in a room with an ambient temperature between +16°C and +32°C. Alternatively, if the cellar is fitted with the winter system, the range is extended to 0°C to 32°C. Installing your wine cellar This wine cellar is designed for free-standing installation. Position it in a place with sufficient strength to support its weight when loaded. To get the best from your appliance with the lowest energy consumption, do not place the appliance close to a heat source (heater, cooker, etc.), do not expose it to direct sunlight, and do not place it in a room which is too cold. Connect the cellar to a single socket. Leave a 10 cm gap between the back of the cellar and the wall. Ensure that your wine cellar is perfectly horizontal, and then slightly raise the only one front foot (use of a spirit level is recommended). This will prevent any movement due to instability, causing noise and vibration, and will ensure that the door seals perfectly. Adjusting the thermostat Tip: immerse a suitable thermometer in a clear glass bottle filled with water and place it in the middle of the cellar. Wait at least 24 hours before checking the temperature. Then adjust the thermostat in the light of the temperature read and that required.

The thermostat in your wine cellar only controls the production of cold air. If your wine cellar is equipped with the winter system and is intended for use in an unheated area, the heating circuit is factory preset and you do not need to adjust it. The temperature setting is possible between 8°C and 18°C (at a recommended room temperature of 25°C). When the fan is activated, the temperature will be similar within the whole cavity according to your setting. When the fan is deactivated, for example if you set the temperature at 12°C, the bottom temperature will be between 9°C and 12°C, and the top temperature will be between 12°C and 15°C. To activate or deactivate the cooling fan, please use the on/off switch located on the left side of the control board. Key to increase the temperature Key to decrease the temperature Key to activate or deactivate the light Key to select in order to set the temperature37

To adjust the temperature, press first the key . At the first use, the temperature preselected in factory will be displayed (8°C), and then press the key to adjust the temperature according to your choice (for example 12°C). To adjust the temperature already selected, press the key then adjust it with the keys . To turn on or off the light, press the key . The screen does not display the current temperature, but the average temperature in the cellar during different cold cycles. To check the temperature you selected, press the key . Regarding the appearance of the following symbols (depending on model), no need to worry: Flashing snowflake symbol = the wine cellar needs to cool, so it will start soon. Fixed snowflake symbol = the compressor is running, so the cellar is cooling. Fixed heating symbol = the wine cellar is currently producing hot because the temperature inside the appliance is too low (usually visible in winter).

The ventilation system: charcoal filter Pure air continually changed and filtered. Your Climadiff wine cellar is equipped with a continuous fresh air system, filtered by a charcoal filter. This is a 5 cm diameter black plastic washer in the top left of the cellar at the back. It should be replaced annually and can be bought from the accessories section of our web site at www.climadiff.com. To remove it, turn the charcoal filter to set free pins and push it from the outside inwards.

Direction for removal View from inside The anti-vibration system Wine does not like to be disturbed. It especially dislikes vibration. This is why your wine cellar’s slow-cycle compressor is mounted on special shock absorbers called "silent blocks". Likewise, the inner container is insulated from the body by a thick layer of polyurethane foam which also has the particular feature of absorbing vibration.38 The humidification system: lava stones Humidity fluctuates around 55% (±10); this is the average relative humidity range recommended to keep the corks in your bottles sufficiently moist to maintain the flexibility and elasticity required to seal them hermetically against liquids, while allowing your wines to breathe. The lava stones serve to regulate the humidity within the cellar. They should be dampened and placed in the box provided in the bottom part of the cavity. To increase the humidity level, drop some water directly in the box where the lava stones are stored.

To better direct the running water to the trough, it is recommended that you slightly raise the cellar’s front foot while keeping it horizontally level. The winter system (depending on some models) The winter kit is a frost protection system which enables the cellar to operate in an environment where the temperature is between 0 and 32°C. When the inner temperature of the wine cellar is going down of 4°C compared to the selected temperature, a low power electrical element is operating to bring back the inner temperature to the initial selected temperature. This is a low power element to avoid sudden rises in the temperature of the wine and so avoid thermal shocks that are damaging to the preservation of the wine. The kit is intended to raise the cellar’s internal temperature even before there is a thermal exchange with the bottles. CAUTION! Operation of the winter kit temporarily overrides the thermal layering in the wine cabinet. IMPORTANT: If the temperature in the room where your wine cellar is located is about 12ºC (±2), no production of warm or cold air will be observed. The appliance is then completely silent and this is quite normal. It should not be considered as a malfunction. Defrosting Your appliance is equipped with an automatic defrost cycle. When a cooling cycle finishes, the appliance’s refrigerated surfaces are defrosted automatically. The defrost water is channelled into a condensates evaporation tray which is located in the back of the appliance near the compressor. The heat produced by the compressor then evaporates the condensates collected in the tray. Lock (depending on some models) For cellars fitted with a lock, the keys can be found in the bag along with the manual. To close the cellar, turn the key anti clockwise. Lighting The light can be activated or deactivated when pressing the key. The light will turn off automatically after one hour time. Shelves Each cellar has its own type of bottle shelf! Note that there is no ideal storage arrangement. A collection of bottles of wine is rich when it is varied. It is up to you to arrange the storage capacity of your wine cellar according to your collection.39 Additional shelves may be ordered as a chargeable option from your retailer or after-sales service, or from our web site www.climadiff.com. Tip: to prevent damage to the door seal, ensure that the door is fully open before pulling out the shelves to add or remove bottles.

Maximum loading: Do not exceed maximum loads, which you will find in the cellar on a label (similar to the one shown below).

Enhanced safety Since this range of appliances is intended for storing items of value, we have been careful to select quality components and to design suitable manufacturing techniques to ensure optimum safety in operation.

The maximum recommended bottle loading quantities are guidelines and are not contractually binding; they provide a quick estimate of the size of the appliance (similar to the litre capacities of refrigerators). They relate to tests conducted with a standard bottle: the “75 cl traditional Bordeaux” bottle. How to fill and maintain your wine cellar: Your wine cellar is delivered with one or more wine bottle trays made of metal. Start by loading the lower part of your wine cellar. Then simply stack the bottles with their bases facing backward in the back row and conversely for the front row. The bottle shelves should be arranged according to the size of your wine cellar and the shapes of your wine bottles. It is very important not to exceed the load limit for each shelf (refer to the load written inside your cellar). Do not exceed the designated maximum capacity (warning: do not obstruct the charcoal filter). In reality and in extreme cases, you could store more bottles by stacking the same type of bottle without using shelves, but a “varied cellar” comprises a wide variety of bottles and the “practical” aspect of everyday

Maximum load per shelf: xx kg Maximum of xx layers of bottles40 cellar management limits its capacity. You will therefore probably load to a little less capacity than the nominal maximum capacity. Types of bottle:

We see here 4 kinds of 75 cl wine bottles: Burgundy and Bordeaux wine bottles of different dimensions. There are many others of all shapes and sizes. You will note the storage differences depending on bottle heights, diameters and alternating position method. For example, if a wine cellar is loaded only with Burgundy wine bottles, there will be approximately 30% fewer bottles than the initial quantity calculated for Bordeaux bottles.

Before cleaning your appliance (something that should be done regularly), disconnect it by removing the plug or by pulling the fuse on the circuit. Before using your appliance for the first time and regularly thereafter, we recommend that you clean the inside and outside (front, sides and top) with warm water mixed with a gentle cleaning product. Rinse with clean water and allow drying before reconnecting. Do not use solvents or abrasives. Wash the plastic coating on the steel shelves with a mild detergent solution and then dry with a soft cloth. Wooden shelves require no particular maintenance. When the appliance is switched on for the first time, there may be a residual odour. In that case, run the appliance empty for a few hours at the coldest possible temperature. The cold will kill any odours.

8. STORING YOUR WINE CELLAR

If you will not be using your appliance for short periods, leave the control panel with its usual settings. During an extended shutdown: - Remove all bottles from the appliance - Unplug the appliance - Thoroughly clean the inside and outside of the appliance - Leave the door open to prevent condensation, unpleasant odours and mould

9. WHAT TO DO IN THE EVENT OF A POWER CUT?

Most power cuts are resolved within a short time. A power cut of 1 or 2 hours will not affect the temperature in your cabinet. To protect your wines during a power cut, avoid opening the door as much as possible. During very long power cuts, take the necessary measures to protect your wine. If the appliance is disconnected or if there is a power cut, you must wait three to five minutes before re-starting. If you try to re-start before this time, the compressor will only re-start after 3 to 5 minutes (if the temperature requires). When switching on for the first time or following a prolonged shutdown, it is possible that when re- starting, the temperatures selected and those displayed are not the same. This is normal. It will take a few hours before they stabilise.

10. IF YOU NEED TO MOVE YOUR WINE CELLAR

First, disconnect your cellar Remove all the bottles from the cellar and secure moving parts To avoid damaging the levelling screws on the foot, screw them tightly into the base Move the appliance in an upright position (preferably) or take note of the direction in which the appliance may be laid down by looking at its packaging.

11. IN THE EVENT OF A BREAKDOWN

Despite the care we take during production, a breakdown can never be totally ruled out. Before contacting your retailer’s after-sales department, please check that: The appliance is properly plugged in There is not a power cut in progress The breakdown is not one of those described in the table at the end of this manual IMPORTANT: if the power cable supplied is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, a service centre approved by the brand or the retailer. In all events, it must be replaced by qualified personnel in order to avoid any risk of injury. IF THESE CHECKS REVEAL NOTHING, THEN CONTACT YOUR RETAILER’S AFTER-SALES DEPARTMENT. CAUTION! Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance or repair work.42

12. PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS

You can solve many simple problems with your wine cellar yourself, thus avoiding having to contact your after-sales department. Try the following suggestions. PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES The cellar will not start

The cellar is not plugged in. If your wine cellar is in an unheated room, refer to the section "Winter Kit". The fuse in your electrical installation has blown. The cellar does not cool sufficiently

The thermostat position is set to provide insufficient cooling: adjust it. The external temperature is beyond the cellar’s operating temperature. The cellar is opened too often. The door is not properly closed. The door seal is not sealing correctly. The cellar is too cold

The thermostat is set to provide excessive cooling: adjust it. The humidity level is too high Bottle labels are coming unstuck

Humidity is regulated by the principle of thermodynamics. During a cooling period, a frost forms (cold air dries the air); humidity will fall to 40%. During a heating period, the frost melts and humidity may reach 70%. Taking an average of these two values, we obtain an average humidity of 55%. It is essential to calculate an average value over several cycles and not from a single reading. There are three alternatives for reducing the cellar’s humidity: - Replace the charcoal filters - Dry the lava rocks - Decrease the temperature slightly inside the cellar. The humidity level is too low

Humidity is regulated by the principle of thermodynamics. During a cooling period, a frost forms (cold air dries the air); humidity will fall to 40%. During a heating period, the frost melts and humidity may reach 70%. Taking an average of these two values, we obtain an average humidity of 55%. It is essential to calculate an average value over several cycles and not from a single43 reading. To increase the humidity in the cellar, there are two alternatives: - Place a jar of water in the upper part of the cellar. - Dampen the lava rocks. - Raise the temperature slightly inside the cellar. The temperature in the cellar is not consistent

1. The actual temperature to take into account is the

temperature in the bottle. The temporary variations which you observe correspond to the compressor's operating cycles. It is through this principle of a series of small variations in the air inside your wine cellar that a suitable average temperature is obtained, ensuring the best conditions for maturing your wine.

2. If the temperature noted in your wine cellar is

different from that usually seen and it does not change continuously (over several hours and except when located in a non-heated room with a temperature of between 10 and 12°C), please contact your retailer’s after-sales service. The cellar’s compressor runs continuously

If no cold is being produced, call your retailer’s after- sales service. Vibration

Check to ensure that the cellar is indeed level and that the foot is resting on the ground. The cellar makes a lot of noise

1. The compressor is noisy: check that it is fixed to the

rubber shock absorbers (silent blocks) and whether it is in contact with another element.

2. Small rattling sounds are heard: they result from the

circulation of gas in the pipes and are part of the normal operation of your wine cellar. There are unpleasant smells in the cellar

1. Clean the cellar and ventilate it for several days

2. Replace the charcoal filters

The bottle shelves sag when loaded

Check that you are not exceeding the load capacity and that the shelves are correctly positioned. There is water in the bottom of the cellar

This is not detrimental to your wine and is a normal phenomenon during the first few days of use.

1. Ensure that the only one front foot is slightly raised.44

2. Ensure that the lava rocks do not obstruct the

condensation water evacuation hole.

3. Ensure that the condensation water evacuation

pipe is not blocked. The door does not close correctly

The cellar is not level. The door seal is dirty or damaged. The shelves are not positioned correctly. A part of the contents is preventing the door from closing.

Examples of serving temperatures To be followed when tasting, to avoid missing out on the rich aromas of your wines!
