Before you use your appliance for the first time, please read this user manual carefully. Store it carefully so that you can refer to it in the future, if necessary. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when using your appliance, follow these basic precautions.

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

For your safety and correct usage, before installing and first using the appliance, read this user manual carefully, including its hints and warnings. To avoid unnecessary mistakes and accidents or to avoid damage to the appliance, it is important to make sure that all people using the appliance are thoroughly familiar with its operation and safety features. Save these instructions and be sure that they remain with the appliance if it is moved or sold, so that anyone using it throughout its life will be properly informed on its usage and safety notices. 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.

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

To prevent damaging the door gasket, make sure the door is fully open when pulling shelves out of the rail compartment.

Safety of children and other vulnerable persons

• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above, and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
• User cleaning and servicing operations should not be carried out by children, unless they are more than 8 years old and are

supervised.

• Keep all packaging away from children as there is risk of suffocation.
• Risk of child entrapment. Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned appliances are still dangerous, even if they will “just sit in the garage a few days”.
• If you are discarding the appliance, pull the plug out of the socket, cut the connection cable (as close to the appliance as you can) and remove the door to prevent children playing from suffering an electric shock or from closing themselves inside it.
• If this appliance, featuring a magnetic door seals, is to replace an older appliance having a spring lock (latch) on the door or lid, be sure to make the spring lock unusable before you discard the old appliance. This will prevent it from becoming a death trap for a child.

The appliance assures that temperature is maintained as long as it is in operation and that it is used in 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.

6. EQUIPMENT

The climate control system

According to advice from specialists, the ideal temperature for storing wine is around 12^ C, within a bracket of 10 to 14^ C. Do not confuse this with service temperature, which varies between 5 and 20^ C, 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.

The anti-UV system

Light accelerates the ageing of wine. In our solid door cellars, your wines are naturally protected, on condition, of course, that the door is not opened too often. This glass-door model has been specially treated and filters out harmful ultraviolet rays, thus ensuring your wines are perfectly shielded.

The winter function

The winter function is a frost protection system which enables the cellar to operate in an environment where the temperature is between 5 and 32°C. 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.

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 channeled 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.

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.

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.

Installing the handle (VIP330P)

Your appliance has an handle. To fit it, simply screw it onto the door with the screws supplied as per the diagram below, having first removed the seal.

Technical diagram showing a door frame with labeled parts ⑥ and ⑦, likely for architectural or mechanical design reference.

7. LOADING

The maximum recommended loading quantities for bottles are given as guidelines and are indicative only; they provide a quick estimate of the size of the appliance (similar to the capacity of a refrigerator expressed in liters).

They correspond to tests conducted with a standard bottle: the standard "75 cl light 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 load the appliance a little less than the recommended maximum.

Types of bottle:

Illustration of multiple wine bottles with green and red labels, shown in a stylized layout with dimension lines (no text or symbols)

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.

Recommendation combination:

The following combination of shelves is recommended for energy to be used as efficiently as possible by the refrigeration unit.

Announced capacity

The advertised capacity is the maximum capacity calculated with a defined number of shelves which varies depending on the model. This standard is calculated with 75cl traditional Bordeaux type bottles. Any other type of bottle format as well as the addition of shelves will considerably reduce the storage capacity.

Examples of serving temperatures

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°C

8. 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 restarting, 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.

9. 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.
