Downloaded from www.vandenborre.be28 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 and +38°C. If the ambient temperature is higher or lower, the performance of your appliance may be affected and it may not be possible to obtain temperatures between 5 and 22 degrees. Installing your wine cellar

• This wine cellar is designed for free-standing or built-in installation.

• Position it in a place with sufficient strength to support its weight when loaded. To ensure that it is level, adjust the height of the feet underneath.

• 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, leaving a 10 cm gap between the back of the cellar and the wall. Be careful to support it, so that your wine cellar is perfectly level. (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. Control panel

• “RUN” Power indicator

• “LIGHT” Button Lighting control button

• “POWER” Button On/Off switch

• You can choose the desired chamber temperature by using the “+ / -”. buttons

The temperature selected increases/decreases by 1°C with each button press. Temperatures of between 5 and 22°C can be selected. Once the desired temperature has been selected, the display will flash before showing the current internal cooler temperature. The set temperature can be viewed at any time by pressing the temperature select buttons If the appliance runs after a power failure, the previous set temperature does also exist as the control panel has the memory function..

5° EQUIPMENT The climate control system According to advice from specialists, the ideal temperature for storing wine is around 12°C, within a bracket of 10 to 14°C. Do not confuse this with service temperature, which varies between 5 and 22°C, depending on the specific nature of the wine. It is especially important to avoid sudden changes in temperature. Designed by specialists for oenophiles, this appliance, unlike a simple refrigerator, takes into account the sensitivity of grand cru wines to sudden variations in temperature by ensuring the close control of a constant average temperature. The anti-vibration system: The refrigeration compressor is equipped with special dampers (silent-blocks) and the inner space is insulated from the body by a thick layer of polyurethane foam. These characteristics prevent the transmission of vibration to your wines. The anti-UV system: Light accelerates the ageing of wine. In our solid door cellars, your wines are naturally protected, on condition, of course, that the door is not opened too often. This glass-door model has been specially treated and filters out harmful ultraviolet rays, thus ensuring your wines are perfectly shielded. 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. Shelves

• To prevent damage to the door seal, ensure that the door is fully open before pulling out the shelves to add or remove bottles.

• For easier access to the contents of the shelves, slide the shelf out approximately one third of the way. The shelves are, however, fitted with a stop to prevent the bottles falling out.

• To remove or reposition the shelves, incline the shelf as indicated in the diagram, then push or pull as required.

Downloaded from www.vandenborre.be30 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. Installing the handle: Your appliance has a stainless steel handle. To fit it, simply screw it onto the door with the screws supplied as per the diagram below, having first removed the seal.

The instruction is based on a unit with right door hinge installed already. To reserve the door from right hinge to left hinge, you need to get ready 2 new spare parts: an upper left hinge, and a bottom left hinge. All removed parts must be saved to do the door reinstallation, except those remarked with “Disused”. 1 Open the door, and loosen the 2 screws ① and ②. See Figure 1. 2 Carefully remove the door from the upper right hinge ④ and prevent it from scratching. Take out the support rod ③ from the door hinge hole. See Figure 2. 3 Pull out the 6 decorating plastic bolts covering the reserved hinge screw holes at the front left corner of the cabinet. 4 Unscrew the upper right hinge

,8 to the left side of the cabinet. Make sure the screws are tightened. See Figure 4. 6 Put upside down the door and install it to the left hinges by following the opposite steps of taking down of the door as described above 7 Cover the hinge screw holes on the right side with the 6 decorating plastic bolts.

Downloaded from www.vandenborre.be32 6° LOADING The maximum recommended filling quantities of bottles are guidelines and are not contractual; they provide a quick estimate of the size of the appliance (similar to the litre capacities of refrigerators). They correspond to tests conducted with a standard bottle: the standard “75 cl tradition Bordeaux” bottle - standards apply the geographical origin of each bottle shape (Bordeaux, Burgundy, Provence, etc.) and a type (traditional, heavy, light, flute, etc.), each with its own diameter and height. 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 cellar management limits its capacity. You will therefore probably use a little less capacity than the recommended maximum. How to fill and maintain your wine cellar: 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.

Examples of serving temperatures: (to be observed when tasting, in order to avoid missing out on the rich aromas of your wines!)

Opinions vary, and the ambient temperature too, but many people agree on the following: Prestigious Bordeaux wines – Reds 16 – 17°C Prestigious Burgundy wines – Reds 15 – 16°C Prestigious dry white vintages 14 – 16°C Light, young, fruity reds 11 – 12°C Provence rosés, primeur wines 10 – 12°C Dry whites and vin de pays reds 10 – 12°C Vin de pays whites 8 – 10°C Champagnes 7 – 8°C Sweet wines 6°C Criss

Note the difference in depth!

Top-to-bottom neck between bottle bodies: Increased loading.

7° MAINTENANCE 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 after that, 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 to dry 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 feet, 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. Downloaded from www.vandenborre.be34 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.

12° PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS

You can solve many simple problems with your wine ce llar yourself, thus avoiding having to contact your after- sales department. Try the following suggestions. PROBLEM
