SETTING UP THE CABINET

Si cet appareil, muni d’une fermeture magnétique, est destiné à en remplacer un autre muni d’une fermeture à ressort, nous vous conseillons de rendre cette dernière inutilisable avant de le mettre au rebut. Cela évitera que des enfants puissent s’y enfermer et mettre ainsi leur vie en danger. If this device, which uses magnetic door closing, replaces a device equipped with a spring closing system, we advise you to destroy the spring closing system before disposing of the old device. This will prevent children from locking themselves inside it and endangering their lives. Location Place your cabinet well away from heat sources (heater, cooker, direct sunlight). For proper operation of the device, the ambient room temperature should be between +16°C and +38°C (class N/ST). Outside these limits, the device will not operate properly. – Ensure that air can circulate freely behind the device: do not place it too close to a wall, in order to avoid noise from vibration. Ensure that air can circulate freely all around the device. Insufficient ventilation will lead to poor operation and increased energy consumption. Leave at least 2 cm between the walls and the wine cabinet and 3 cm minimum between the rear of the wine cabinet and the wall. Leave at least 10 cm free space above the device. – The device must be installed in such a way that the electric plug is accessible. After installing the cabinet, make sure that it is not resting on the power cord. – Level the device by using the 2 adjustable feet.

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.71 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. - 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.

1. Slide as far as possible the shelf you want to exit (Fig A)

2. Lift the shelf (Fig A)

3. Holding the shelf, push it, then pull out the shock absorbers (Fig B)72

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. 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.73 Loading for Max capacities The maximum number of stored bottles is based on standard Bordeaux bottles containing 0.75 L. LM 245 / LMN 245 (24 bottles) LB 555 / LBN 555 (50 bottles Max)*

• Note: loading 50 bottles is the maximum load. It is recommended to use the diagram below for daily use74 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.

If the unit is unplugged, power lost, or turned off, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the Wine cooler will not start. When you use the Wine cooler for the first time or restart the Wine cooler after having been shut off for a long time, there could be a few degrees variance between the temperature you select and the one indicated on the LED readout. This is normal and it is due to the length of the activation time. Once the Wine cooler is running for a few hours everything will be back to normal.

CARE OF YOUR CABINET

DEFROSTING Defrosting of your wine cabinet is fully automatic. It requires no action on your part. During operation, you may notice condensation drops forming on the rear inside wall of the cabinet. They will be eliminated during automatic defrosting. CLEANING Before any cleaning, unplug the device from the mains.
