- Place the cellar in a location strong enough to support the full load weight.
- To level it adjust the height of the adjustable feet below the cellar.
- This device is suitable for operation in rooms with a very specific ambient temperature, this climatic class is indicated on the rating label.
- When selecting a location for your appliance you should make sure the floor is flat and firm, and the room is well ventilated. This device is suitable for operation in rooms with a very specific ambient temperature, this climatic class is indicated on the nameplate. The ambient temperature affects the interior temperature and humidity of your cellar. For optimal operation, your cellar settings are made for ambient temperatures of 23 ° C to 25 ° C. The temperature of the device is adjustable between 5°C and 20°C; dual-zone cabinets offer two compartments with independent adjustment, a first compartment adjustable between 5°C and 12°C and a second adjustable between 12°C and 20°C. Temperature regulation is carried out by a thermostat. Changing the temperature generates higher energy consumption. The device guarantees that the temperature is maintained as long as it is in operation and used under normal conditions of use. The temperature inside the appliance and its energy consumption can be influenced by many factors: ambient temperature, exposure to the sun, number of door openings and quantity stored... Slight changes in temperature are perfectly normal and correspond to the appliance cold cycles. But these variations in no way affect the storage temperature of the wines, these variations being too short for a heat exchange with the bottles. It is recommended to load the bottles to be stored in several times in order to allow the internal temperature to stabilize. Once your cellar is fully charged, it takes between 24 and 48 hours to obtain the desired temperature. This duration is impacted by the initial temperature of the stored bottles, which must be brought to the desired temperature.ENGLISH

Before using your appliance for the first time and regularly after that, we recommend that you clean the inside and outside (front, side and top) with warm mixed with a gentle cleaning product. Rinse with clean water and allow drying before reconnecting. Do not use solvents or abrasives. When the appliance is switched on for the first time, there may be a residual smell. In that case, runt the appliance empty for a few hours at the coldest possible temperature. The cold will kill any smell. Automatic defrost An automatic defrost is programmed on your cellar. There is no impact for wines stored in the cellar during the defrosting phase. During defrost; the compressor and the fans will be off. Changing the carbon filter Your wine cellar is equipped with a carbon filter, we advise you to replace it once a year. To replace it, all you have to do is pull it out from inside the cellar and replace it with a new filter. If you go on vacation
- Short stays: let your cellar operate during your stay if it lasts less than 3 weeks.
- Long stays: if your device is not to be used for several months, remove all bottles and accessories, turn off and unplug the device from the power outlet. Clean and dry the inside and outside of the appliance thoroughly. Also leave the door open, blocking it if necessary, to prevent the formation of condensate, odors and mold. If you need to move your wine cellar
- Unplug your cellar before any operation.
- Remove all bottles from the cellar and secure the moving parts.
- To avoid damaging the leg leveling screws, screw them all the way into their base.
