This will ensure optimum operation of the appliance.

For the safety of life and property and to avoid any risk of injury, keep the precautions of these user's instructions as the manufacturer is not responsible for damages caused by omission.

This appliance is intended exclusively for domestic use and is intended for the storage of special drink products at a storage temperature higher than that of a storage compartment for fresh products. Under no circumstances is it intended to keep food products fresh.

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 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.

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.

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

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.

√ Keep children away from the appliance.
√ 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.

We recommend that you make a note of its serial number in this booklet prior to installation, so that you can refer to it later (technical work, request for assistance, etc.)

Once it is installed and loaded, access to it is not so easy.

CAUTION: No assistance can be provided without this information.

4. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Before using your wine cellar

• Remove the inner and outer packaging. Remove your wine cellar from the transport pallet by unscrewing the two screws on the frame at the back of the device.
• 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.

Ambient room temperature limits

This appliance is designed to operate in ambient temperatures specified by its temperature class marked on the rating plate.

CLASS	SYMBOL	AMBIENT TEMPERATURES RANGE (°C)
Extended temperate	SN	From +10 to +32
Temperate	N	From +16 to +32
Subtropical	ST	From +16 to +38
Tropical	T	From +16 to +43

This refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 10 °C to 32 °C

Installing your wine cellar

• This unit is intended for free-standing installation only. It must never be built-under or built-in. For proper operation of the appliance, it is imperative to allow good air circulation around the unit. We do not accept any liability instance of non-compliance with the installation instructions.
• 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.

- Plug the cellar into a single outlet.

- Screw the stopper supplied inside the wine cellar to maintain a 10 cm minimum distance between the back of the cellar and the wall in front of it is placed. Ensure that your wine cellar is perfectly horizontal, then slightly raise the two front feet (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.

C shows the temperature value unit 12 ligths when the compressor is working, during cold cycles

The temperature range can be set as low as 5^ C or as high as 18^ C to suit your specific storage requirements. The acquiescence temperature setting is 12^ C.

How to set the temperature:

The temperature preset in factory for this model is 12^ C. SET and the arrows are used to change settings. To change the temperature:

• Press SET, "SP" will be shown on the display and press SET again and the current value will be shown
• Press simultaneously SET and the upper arrow
• Press UP or DOWN arrows to change the set point value between 5 and 18^ C
• Press SET to accept the new value
• Press SET and down arrow at the same time to exit the programming mode or wait 1 minute to automatically exit

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.

Don't worry if your thermometer doesn't indicate exactly 12^ ! Inertia of liquid with respect to air is a factor of 1 to 10 and your cellar will make the necessary corrections automatically.

When the surrounding temperature is 25^ C and the wine cooler has no bottle loaded, it will take around 2h00 to increase the wine cooler's temperature from 5^ C to 12^ C. Under the same circumstance, it will take around 2h00 to decrease the wine cooler's temperature from 12^ C to 5^ C. The less the temperature span is, the less time it will take. The setting temperature of upper zone should be lower than the setting temperature of lower zone.

5. EQUIPMENT

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 the web site at www.climadiff.com.

Replacing the activated charcoal filter: it must be absolutely replaced once a year. You can see it from the inside as well as from the outside. It is located in the upper right corner at the bottom of the wine cellar.

Push the charcoal filter from the outside of your wine cellar in order to remove it from inside the appliance. The hole visible in the rear lower section is normal and provides negative pressure, to ensure internal air circulation.

CAUTION! The filter is inserted in a plastic part. Do not try to remove all the parts, ONLY the filter. Pulling or pushing the plastic receptacle may be not reparable as foamed in the body.

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.

Depending on the model, the wine bottle shelves are made of solid wood and absorb vibration better than metal. On some models, the shelf supports are also equipped with rubber pads. Your bottles are enjoying perfect peace!

Hygrometry

Your cellar is equipped with a dynamic humidity system, which regulates the humidity level in the cabinet entirely automatically. No addition of water is required.

It is necessary to wait a few days after start-up for the average (between 55 and 75% ) to stabilise in the cabinet. Frost will form at the bottom of the cabinet: no cause for worry, this is a normal phenomenon, which may appear when the appliance is used for the first time during the hotter periods of the year and which will disappear when the natural inertia level is reached.

The winter system

The winter system is a frost protection system which enables the cellar to operate in an environment where the temperature is between 0 and 32^ . A sensor located outside the appliance triggers a low power electrical element when the ambient temperature in the room falls to around 8^ in case. 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.

IMPORTANT: if the temperature in the room where your wine cellar is located is about 12^ C ( ± 2^ C), 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.

The anti-UV system

Light accelerates the aging of wine. In our solid door cellars, your wines are naturally protected, on condition, of course, that the door is not opened too often. Models with a glass door are UV treated, thus filtering out damaging ultraviolet rays: your wines are therefore protected.

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 model)

For cellars fitted with a lock, the keys can be found in the bag along with the manual. To open the cellar, turn the key anti clockwise.

Subdued reading light (depending on model)

When the door is opened, the switch located under the top panel provides you a low emissive LED light to make it easier to read labels in a dark room. Don't forget to switch it off after closing your wine cabinet by pressing the in question.

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.

Additional shelves may be ordered as a chargeable option from your retailer or after-sales service, or from the accessories section of the web site at 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.

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

How to fill and maintain your wine cellar:

Your wine cellar is delivered with one or more wine bottle trays made of metal or wood.

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 cellar management limits its capacity. You will therefore probably load to a little less capacity than the nominal maximum capacity.

Types of bottles:

Illustration of multiple wine bottles with colored labels and white outlines, no text or symbols present

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.

Announced capacity

The announced capacity is the maximum capacity calculated with a defined number of shelves, which varies according to the model. This standard is calculated with 75cl bottles of the traditional Bordeaux type. Any other type of bottle size and the addition of shelves will considerably reduce the storage capacity.

The maximum capacity has been calculated with 4 or 5 shelves depending on model.

The capacity of your wine cellar is measured according to the EN62552 standard.

7. CARE AND 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, 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 odor. In that case, runt the appliance empty for a few hours at the coldest possible temperature. The cold will kill any odors.

In case 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 stabilize.

Vacation time

• Short vacations: leave the wine cooler operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
• Long vacations: if the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all items and turn off the appliance. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door open slightly: blocking it open if necessary.

Moving your wine cooler

• Remove all items.
• Securely tape down all loose items (shelves) inside your appliance.
• Turn the adjustable leg up to the base to avoid damage.
• Tape the door shut.
• Be sure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation. Also protect outside of appliance with a blanket, or similar item.

8. 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.

10. 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 too cold	The thermostat is set to provide excessive cooling: adjust it.
The humidity level is too highBottle 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 75%.Taking an average of these two values, we obtain an average humidity of 55%. It isessential to calculate an average value over several cycles and not from a single reading.There are two alternatives for reducing the cellar's humidity:Replace the charcoal filters- 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 75%.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.To increase the humidity in the cellar, there are two alternatives:- Place a jar of water in the upper part of the cellar- Raise the temperature slightly inside the cellar
The temperature in the cellar is not consistent	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.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 all the feet are resting on the ground.
The cellar makes a lot of noise	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. 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	Clean the cellar and ventilate it for several days. 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.Ensure that the two front feet are slightly raised.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.

Replacing light (depending on model)

This appliance consists of light-emitting diodes (LEDs). This type of diode cannot be changed by the consumer. The lifetime of these LEDs is normally sufficient for no change to be made. If however, and despite all the care taken during the manufacture of your wine cellar, the LEDs were defective, please contact your after-sales service for any intervention.

How to manage your collection?

The wine cellar register (the original, a Climadiff innovation) will help you with this!

Depending on model and excluding those with glass doors, the inside of the wine cellar's door is specifically designed so that you can write on the wine cellar register in chalk information about the characteristics of your collection or make a list of your prestigious "grand crus". Use only chalk to write on the wine cellar register.

To limit the handling of your wines, position those crus likely to spend a long time in the cellar at the bottom.

To erase information, use a slightly moistened cloth or sponge. Never use detergent or abrasive materials.
