LM 1210 / LB 1100 Vue de face Vue de côté31 LM 1650 / LB 1540 Connecting the power supply Your cabinet is designed for operation with 230 V single-phase. It must be connected to a wall socket equipped with earthing and protected by a 10 A fuse in compliance with the standard NF C15-100 and in compliance with your electricity supplier's prescriptions. SPECIFIC INFORMATION - We recommend that you install your wine cabinet in a temperate room. - If the inside light remains on, please note that the inside temperature will be higher. - Temperature inside the wine cabinet may vary depending on the type and the number of bottles contained. - In order to keep your wines at a stable temperature, avoid leaving the door open for long periods. - Do not install your wine cabinet close to a heat source; avoid direct sunlight. - In order to guarantee your safety, and to prevent your wine being spoilt, do not place the cabinet in humid locations. - Do not store perishable foodstuffs inside your wine cabinet. - The wine cabinet is not designed for use in a garage, outside, or in the open air. - The following (approximate) temperatures are recommended for wine drinking: o Great Bordeaux wines – Red 16 – 17°C o Great Burgundy wines – Red 15 – 16°C o Great vintages dry white wines 14 – 16°C o Red wines, fruity wines, young wines 11 – 12°C o Rosé wines from Provence, early-to-market wines 10 – 12°C o Dry white wines and local red wines 10 – 12°C o Local white wines 8 – 10°C o Champagnes 7 – 8°C o Liqueur wines 6°C - Temperature stability is of the greatest importance when storing wine. Vue de face Vue de côté32 - Exposure to light, vibrations, temperature variations or humidity can spoil the wine. The cooling system According to specialists, the ideal temperature for wine storage is around 12 ° C, in the range of 10 ° to 14 ° C. Do not confuse with the operating temperature, which varies depending on the specificity of each type of wine from 5 to 18 ° C. It is especially important to avoid sudden temperature changes. Designed by specialists, for wine lovers, this device, unlike the single refrigerator, electronically ensures constant average temperature control. The anti-vibration system: The compressor is equipped with special shock (silent-blocks) and the inner tank is isolated from the body by a thick layer of polyurethane foam. These features can prevent the transmission of vibrations to the wines. The humidification system: This device is equipped with a tray (depending on model) which maintains the correct level of humidity. If the humidity is too low, fill the tank level to ¾ of its capacity. Check the water level time to time and add water if necessary. Make sure the tank always contains water. The tray is placed on the shelf under the fan at the bottom to provide a minimum humidity. Be careful to control the water level if you store your wines for a long time and you do not dedicate the unit to their implementation at operating temperature only (with rapid rotations of your bottles). The UV system: The light accelerates aging of your wines. In full doors cellars, the wines are naturally immune subject of course limited openings). This model glass door was subject of a particular treatment, which filters harmful ultraviolet rays; the wines are perfectly safe. Defrost: This product does not produce frost (No-Frost). There is no frost or ice; so, no operation is required to remove it. Shelves To prevent damage to the door seal, make sure the door is open before pulling the shelves to install or remove the bottles. For easier access to the contents of shelves you need to slide the shelf outward about 1/3 however they are designed with a stop on each side to prevent the bottles from falling. To remove or position the shelves, tilt the shelf as shown in the diagram and pull or push as required.33 LOADING The maximum number of bottles that can be loaded into the cabinet are for information only; this information is not contractual; it provides a means for rapidly estimating the size of the device. The information comes from tests carried out using standard bottles; in reality, in extreme conditions it would be possible to load a greater number of bottles without racks, but a "diverse wine cellar” is used in many different ways; the daily use of a wine cabinet means that it must carry fewer bottles. Therefore you will probably load fewer bottles then the given maximum numbers. How to load and care for your wine cabinet:

Here we see 4 types of 75 cl bottles, Burgundy and Bordeaux, of different sizes. There are many other types, with various volumes and of all shapes. Note the different ways they are stored depending on the height and diameter of the bottles as well as the interleaving method used.34 Loading for basic shelf Loading for half-shelf (bottom) Loading for Max capacities LM 1210 (111 bottles) LB 1100 (101 bottles)35 LM 1650 (151 bottles) LB 1540 (141 bottles) The maximum number of stored bottles is based on standard Bordeaux bottles containing 0.75 L. For better conservation and avoid food waste To avoid spoiling the wine, it is important that the temperature remains stable in the cavity, avoid frequently opening the door and blocking the interior vents. To avoid the appearance of mold, please avoid having too much humidity in the cavity.36 USAGE Starting up the device Once the wine cabinet is properly installed, we advise that you clean the inside using warm water with a low concentration of dishwashing liquid. Do not use abrasives or scouring powder; they may scratch the surface finish. USAGE CAUTION! Wine cabinets are intended only for storing and preserving wine. IMPORTANT: Your wine cabinet is ideally suitable for holding Bordeaux type bottles of 0.75 L capacity. It can contain larger bottles; however care must be taken that they do not prevent the door from closing properly. - When closing the door ensure that it does not touch any of the bottles. - If you load several bottles at a time, it will take longer before the cabinet reaches the desired temperature. - In order to avoid damaging the door seal, ensure that the door is fully open before moving the racks along the compartment rails.
