Note: when you wish to switch from a single compartment wine cellar with multi temperature (when fan is not activated) to a single compartment wine cellar with mono temperature (when fan is activated and homogenizes the internal temperature), or vice versa, it is necessary to wait 72 hours before the inner temperature of the wine is correctly regulated and becomes stabilized.

When the surrounding temperature is 25^ C and the wine cooler has no bottle loaded, it will take around 1h to increase the wine cooler's temperature from 5^ C to 12^ C. Under the same circumstance, it will take around 2h30 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

6. ÉQUIPMENT

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.

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.

The winter system

The winter kit is a frost protection system which enables the cellar to operate in an environment where the temperature is between 0 and 43°C. A sensor located inside the appliance triggers a low power electrical element when the inner temperature of the wine cellar becomes inferior by 3°C than the set temperature. 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.

The kit is designed to heat the internal temperature of the cellar even before a heat exchange has occurred with the bottles. The winter system keeps the temperature inside the wine cellar the same as the programmed temperature. When the system is activated and the internal temperature reaches the set temperature, the system stops.

Note: when the winter system is running, several hours are required before reaching the desired temperature and stabilizing it.

CAUTION: when winter system is operating, multi-temperature mode (fan off) is no longer possible. The wine cellar maintains the set temperature and switches automatically to mono-temperature mode to preserve the wines.

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 our web site at www.climadiff.com.

To remove it, turn the charcoal filter to set free pins and pull it directly from the inside of the cellar towards you.

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 various wine bottles with colored labels and 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.

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.

Thanks to the half-shelf in metal provided with your wine cellar, you can store vertically up to 12 75cl Bordeaux traditional type bottles. Ideal for already opened 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.

Below is the loading plan with the maximum announced capacity.

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

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 to dry before reconnecting. Do not use solvents or abrasives.

When the appliance is switched on for the first time, there may be a residual odour. In that case, runt the appliance empty for a few hours at the coldest possible temperature. The cold will kill any odours.

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.

Energy saving tips

• The wine cooler should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances, and out of the direct sunlight.
• Ensure that the unit is adequately ventilated. Never cover air vents.
• Only open the door for as long as necessary.

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!

11. TROUBLE SHOOTING

You can solve many common Wine cooler problems easily, saving you the cost of a possible service call. Try the suggestions below to see if you can solve the problem before calling the servicer.

PROBLEM	POSSIBLE CAUSE
Wine cooler does not operate	Not plugged inThe appliance is turned offThe circuit breaker tripped or a blown fuse
Wine cooler is not cold enough	Check the temperature control settingExternal environment may require a higher settingThe door is opened too oftenThe door is not closed completelyThe door gasket does not seal properlyThe wine fridge has recently been disconnected for a period of time. Four hours are required for the wine fridge to cool down completelyInsufficient free space around the appliance
The cellar is too cold	The thermostat is set to provide excessive cooling: adjust it
The humidity level is too high	Humidity is regulated by the principle of thermodynamics. During a cooling period, a frost forms (cold air dries the air); humidity will decrease. During a heating period, the frost melts and humidity will increaseIt is essential to calculate an average value over several cycles and not from a single readingHumidity level can be affected by an ambient temperature too low (rate will drop) or too high (rate will rise). The degree of hygrometry is optimal when the ambient temperature is between 20°C and 25°CThere are three alternatives for reducing the cellar's humidity:- Replace the charcoal filter- Decrease the temperature slightly inside the cellar- Remove the water tray if you have added one into your wine cellar
Bottle labels are coming unstuck
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 decrease. During a heating period, the frost melts and humidity will increaseIt is essential to calculate an average value over several cycles and not from a single readingHumidity level can be affected by an ambient temperature too low (rate will drop) or too high (rate will rise). The degree of hygrometry is optimal when the ambient temperature in between 20°C and 25°CTo increase the humidity in the cellar, there aretwo alternatives:- Place a tray inside your appliance and add water into it to raise the moisture rate- 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 cyclesIt 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 wineTemperature variations are related to cold cycles but are too short to change the temperature of the wines because liquid has a greater inertia than air. Liquid thus remains always at the mean temperatureIf the temperature noted in your wine cellar is different from that usually seen and it does not change continuously (over several hours), please contact your retailer's after-sales serviceIf ambient temperature is very low, the temperature obtained may be slightly below the set temperature. If winter system is operating, the cellar automatically switches to mono-temperature mode to guarantee the good preservation of your wines
The light does not work	Not plugged inThe circuit breaker tripped or a blown fuseThe bulb has burned out, contact your after-sales serviceThe light switch is “OFF”
Vibrations	Check to assure that the wine cooler is levelIf the wine fridge is touching the wall, re-level it and move it away from the wallIf continued vibration occurs, turn off the wine cellar, unplug the power plug and contact our after sales support center for further assistance
The wine cooler seems to make too much noise	The rattling noise may come from the flow of the refrigerant, which is normalAs each cycle ends, you may hear gurgling sounds caused by the flow of refrigerant in your wine coolerContraction and expansion of the inside walls may cause popping and crackling noisesThe wine cooler is not levelCheck if fan is in good condition
The cellar's compressor runs continuously	If no cold is being produced, call your after-sales service
Compressor turns on and off frequently	The room temperature is hotter than normalA large amount of contents has been added tothe wine coolerThe door is open too oftenThe door is not closed completelyThe temperature control is not set correctlyThe door gasket does not seal properly
The door will not close properly	The wine cooler is not levelThe door was reversed and not properly installedThe gasket is dirtyThe shelves are out of positionA part of the contents is preventing the door from closing
LED display is not working properly	Control panel failedPower PCB has brokenThe appliance is not plugged inThe probe is not workingCheck that you didn't activate the standby mode (see chapter "Operating instructions")
High temperature warning HOO	Inside temperature is higher than 25°C for over 6 hours, display will flash “HOO” with beeping soundPress any key to remove beeping and contact your after sales-serviceTurn off your wine cellar by pressing the On/Off button and unplug it
Low temperature warning LOO	Inside temperature is lower than 2°C for over 3 hours, display will flash “LOO” with beeping soundPress any key to remove beeping and contact your after sales-serviceTurn off your wine cellar by pressing the On/Off button and unplug it

Replacing light

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.
