What is the maximum bottle capacity?

The PRO1200B model can hold up to 120 bottles of Bordeaux format (0.75 L). In practice, the actual number may be lower depending on bottle variety.

How to install the door handle?

Remove the door gasket to expose the screw holes. Place the handle and screw without forcing (use the provided gaskets). Replace the gasket correctly. Overtightening may break the glass.

How to replace the charcoal filter?

Remove the two shelves in front of the filter. Turn the filter 45° counterclockwise to remove it. Insert the new filter and turn clockwise. Replace it every 12 months.

What to do if the cellar does not cool enough?

Check that the set temperature is appropriate, the door closes properly, the gasket is tight, and there is sufficient space around the appliance (2 cm on sides, 3 cm at rear, 10 cm above). Avoid opening the door too often.

The wine cellar makes noise, is that normal?

A slight operating noise is normal. If the noise is significant, check that the appliance is level, no packaging is stuck, and the feet are stable. The shock absorbers (silent blocks) reduce vibrations.

Can I change the door opening direction?

No, due to its construction, it is not possible to change the door opening direction on this model.

How to clean the interior of my cellar?

Unplug the appliance. Remove the shelves and wash them with warm water and a mild detergent (e.g., dish soap). Wash the interior walls the same way, especially the shelf supports. Never use abrasive products or scouring pads. Dry thoroughly before plugging back in.

What is the warranty and how to get spare parts?

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.
