Positioning the appliance: Your service cabinet may be placed on a work top or on the floor. Before you install your appliance, ensure that the position chosen meets the following requirements:

• Choose a position that is flat, stable, heat-resistant and level.

• Choose a position with a mains socket nearby.

• Ensure that there is a minimum distance of 10 to 15 cm around all sides of the appliance.

• Protect it from direct exposure to sunlight.

• Do not use the wine cabinet outdoors.

• Do not install the wine cabinet on very hot surfaces or close to naked flames. Your appliance should be unplugged. Adjusting the feet: For best installation results, your cabinet has adjustable feet. You can turn them to adjust their height to ensure that the appliance is stable. Once your wine cabinet has been installed, you may plug it in. When first switching on your appliance or after prolonged stoppage, your cabinet requires one day to reach the storage temperature. Your cabinet can display the temperature in Fahrenheit or Celsius (°F / °C). To switch from one mode to the other, press the light button for 10 seconds. a) Selecting the temperature Your wine service cabinet lets you choose the most suitable storage temperature for your wine. In the section "Choosing the correct temperature" you will find a guide to help you adapt the temperature to suit the wine you have. To adjust the temperature, press one of the "6" buttons.

The temperature selected flashes for 5 seconds then the control display shows the temperature in the compartment. b) Lighting Your wine service cabinet is equipped with lighting. It may be activated or deactivated by pressing the "7" button. Emmanuel Delmas – a leading wine waiter – explains how to optimise your wine. Thanks to the KRUPS wine service cabinet, you can keep your wines in optimum conditions before they are opened. Did you know? Wine undergoes 3 main steps before it is opened. Also called ageing, this is the first step for a wine. Aged, stored away from light at a temperature that is ideally between 10 and 14°C, the wine develops at its own pace and undergoes different phases. During this period, the ambient humidity needs to be controlled so that the cork is not damaged, which is sensitive to its environment. "During its first years, the wine finds its marks, and may have dormant periods before it is awoken. After a few years, depending on its maturing potential, the wine is at its peak phase, which is the best time to taste it, as cultured by time, the wine offers all of its qualities." "At its peak, the wine needs a little time before it is tasted to open out slowly. Wine is a living ele- ment that does not like brutal treatment. Therefore, the bottle needs to adjust to the temperature before it is opened so that it can release all of its qualities, its nose and its complexity." Once your wine has "aged" and its flavours have developed, it may be taken out of its maturing cellar at a service temperature. The Krups wine cabinet permits the ideal temperature to be reached and thus avoid spoiling all of the work of the maturing period. Bringing the wine to room temperature is the final step before tasting. The wine is opened so as to optimise its temperature and rapidly oxidise it, to help bring out its aromas. "Bringing the wine to temperature allows it to open out progressively in contact with the air. Opening the bottle allows the wine to reveal itself and soak in the atmosphere of the room. Its nose will slowly develop, its structure will open out and its tannic composition start to break down. After several Correct storage of wine INTRODUCTION :

hours of being "brought to temperature", the architecture of the wine will be in place, and offer all of its qualities when tasted." Your wine service cabinet will allow you to conserve your wine optimally before tasting it. Whether you want to have a bottle from your own cellar to hand in your kitchen, or to store bottles bought from your wine store for a few weeks, the KRUPS wine service cabinet will store your wine in ideal conditions. Selecting the temperature. Several choices of temperature are possible, depending on the wines and the number of different wines that you place in your wine cabinet. You want to store different types of wine in your service cabinet? As when maturing wine in a cellar, you can store different types of wine in your service cabinet. A temperatu- re of 12°C – the same as that for maturing will allow you to conserve your wines without harming them. You want to store a single type of wine I your service cabinet? Here are the ideal temperatures for each type of wine: Choosing the right temperature: Don't forget! To appreciate your wine fully, here are a few tips: Decanting is pouring the wine into a decanter, so as to air it and free the molecules of the wine and its nose, for maximum oxygenation. USING THE WINE SERVICE CABINET AND SELECTION OF THE TEMPERATURE: 8°C Traditional Champagnes, with a fresh acidic taste. Dry, crispy and fresh white wines (Muscadet, Gros plant…) 9°C Rosé wines 10°C Mellow and sweet white wines (Sauternes, Jurançon, Vendanges Tardive…) 11°C Vintage Champagnes 12°C Mature white wines, generous and good mineral flavours (Meursault, Châteauneuf du Pape, Savennières…) 13°C Prestigious Champagnes (Krug®, Bollinger, French Vieilles vignes®) 14°C Oxidative wines, generous and complex (yellow wines, veiled wines…) 15°C Supple and savoury red wines (Sancerre, Brouilly, Coteaux Champenois …) 16°C Burgundy wines, elegant red wines, fruity and long lasting of medium-term maturation. 17°C Bordeaux wines, complex and tannic red wines DECANTERS AND DECANTING: Cavea?vins.qxd:KM8005franc$ais-copie.qxd20/02/0915:43Page16English

This operation is especially used for young wines, with solidly structured with austere tannins and high acidity. It is not for matured wines that are often fragile due to long storage in a cellar. This is why decanting is not necessarily recommended for aged wines, that are often delicate and fragile. Today, the glasses used for tasting have shapes that are suited to good oxygenations of the wine, it would be detrimental to the wine to use decanters too often. Stand the bottle upright without opening it the night before it is to be tasted. Open young wines (less than 10 years' old), with opulent structures up to 12 hours beforehand. Open older wines one hour before. This is the opening out operation. Don't forget that the ventilation surface of a bottle of wine that has juts been opened is very small. Therefore the wine will open out slowly, elegantly and correctly. Don't hesitate to open your younger bottles well in advance. Emmanuel Delmas, wine waiter. Before cleaning the appliance, it must first be unplugged. Do not immerse the appliance in water. No work must be carried out on the inside of the appliance. The compartment, shelves and outside of the wine cabinet can be cleaned using a slightly damp sponge and a mild detergent. In the event of problems, unplug the appliance immediately. Do not use a faulty machine. Only Service Centres are authorised to carry out work and repairs.

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES

There is a puddle of water underneath / around the appliance

• Your wine cabinet is fitted with an automatic evaporation system. If water accumulates around or underneath the appliance, then the room where it is located is too damp. Try reducing the hygrometry of the room (for example using a dehumidifier) or move the wine cabinet to another room. The appliance is switched on but the temperature does not drop

• Check that your wine cabinet contains at least 3 to 5 bottles.

• It can take up to 24 hours to reach the programmed temperature.

• The control panel ( and ) allow you to set the temperature of the appliance to between 8 and 18 °C. Your wine cabinet can only guarantee a temperature of 18 °C less than the ambient temperature. For example, if the ambient temperature is 28°C, the appliance cannot reach temperatures of between 8°C and 10°C.

• For precise temperature control, your wine cabinet must NEVER be installed in the following conditions: - in direct sunlight; - in a poorly ventilated room; - close to another appliance that gives off heat (dishwasher, refrigerator, oven);

• It must not be integrated onto a wall, an alcove, a cupboard or a cabinet.
