3° GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Before you use your wine cellar for the first time, please read this user manual carefully. Store it carefully so that you can refer to it in future, if necessary.

Generally speaking, your appliance must be maintained by a qualified professional.

This appliance is intended exclusively for domestic use and controlling the temperature of wine, or other drinks, if you so choose. Under no circumstances is it intended for the storage of food.

To prevent any danger, do not replace a damaged mains cable yourself. Contact your retailer, an approved service centre or professional repairer.

If your appliance is damaged (e.g. a major impact) or suffers harm (power surge due to lightning, flood, fire), it may be dangerous to use. Disconnect the mains plug and have the appliance checked by an approved professional repairer.

Make sure that your electrical installation's voltage corresponds to that on the appliance's nameplate; the appliance must be connected to an approved, earthed system. Incorrect repairs or connections can cause safety hazards. Have your electrical installation checked by a professional, if you are in any doubt.

This appliance is not intended for use by people (particularly children less than 8 years) with diminished physical, sensory or mental capacities, or by people lacking experience or knowledge of such appliances, unless they are supervised by or have received instruction regarding use of the appliance from a person who is responsible for their safety.

Do not allow children to play with the appliance and its cord or to clean it. Abandoned appliances are always dangerous.

Keep children away from the appliance.

Disconnect the device before performing any servicing or cleaning operation (disconnect the mains plug or trip the corresponding circuit breaker, depending on the model). Refer to chapter MAINTENANCE

This unit must be correctly connected to an earthed socket for your protection. Do not cut off or remove the earth wire on the mains cable supplied.

For safety reasons, do not use an electrical extension cable.

This appliance must be positioned such that the mains socket is accessible. Do not move the appliance once it is full: you might distort its body beyond repair. The electrical parts must not be directly accessible.

Do not use this appliance outdoors.

In the event that liquid is accidentally spilled (broken bottle, etc.) on electrical components (motor, etc.), disconnect the mains plug immediately.

To prevent any risk of fire, electrocution or injury, do not immerse the mains cable, plug or the appliance itself in water or any other liquid. Do not handle the appliance with wet hands.

Keep the appliance away from any source of heat and out of direct sunlight.

Do not allow the mains cable to hang from a table or be in contact with sharp edges or hot surfaces.

Do not pull on the mains cable - take hold of the plug to disconnect the appliance.

Ensure that the area where your appliance is positioned can support its weight when loaded (a 75 cl bottle weighs approximately 1.3kg ).

Your cellar must be placed on a flat surface. If you have to position it on a rug or carpet, place a support underneath.

Never clean the appliance with inflammable products.

Do not store or spray any gas or inflammable liquid close to the appliance.

Prior to disposing of your wine cellar at a specific recycling site, remove the door but leave the shelves in place in such a way as to make it difficult for children to climb inside.

ng: Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.

The appliance meets the requirements of the following European Directives:

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^ .

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 4 and 18 degrees.

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 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 10cm 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

TEMP

Selecting the temperature

• You can program the desired chamber temperature by using the “ / ” buttons. The temperature selected increases/decreases by 1^ with each button press.

The temperature can be set within a range of 4^ to 18^ . However, on first use, the default temperature displayed will be 12^ .

Note: In the event of a power cut, all previously selected temperature settings will be reset to the factory temperature settings.

The interior light may be switched on or off using the

5. EQUIPMENT

The climate control system

According to advice from specialists, the ideal temperature for storing wine is around 12^ , within a bracket of 10 to 14^ . Do not confuse this with service temperature, which varies between 4^ and 18^ , 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.

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 a shelf: pull it out until the cut-outs on the rack (right and left) are positioned under the side stops (square black plastic part). Lift up and pull outwards.

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.

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.

Criss-crossing types:

Top-to-bottom neck-to-neck:

Note the difference in depth!

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^

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 restarting. If you try to re-start before this time, the compressor will only re-start after three to five 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.

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.
