Dimensions of the compartment
Overview
CONTROL PANEL
Operations
Bottle ageing compartment
The ageing compartment's main function is that of guaranteeing that your wines are preserved in optimal conditions.
The wine cellar's temperature was factory pre-set at 15°C, a temperature that is considered optimal for most wines.
Wine has a complex nature and it derives from a long and slow process. In order to best express its attributes, very specific conditions are necessary.
All wines are preserved at the same temperature, but, depending on their different characteristics, wines are served and tasted at very different temperatures.
Therefore, just as for manufacturers' wine cellars, for your new appliance, the absolute temperature value is not important for preserving your wine. Rather, the constant temperature through time is important. Wine preservation is ideal at any temperature, as long as that temperature does not vary.
Manual temperature control
Should you need to adjust the temperature inside the wine cellar, follow the instructions below:
- When you plug in your wine cellar, the display shows the temperature that has been set.
- Press the + button (see Control Panel) for one second. The temperature will begin to blink.
- Press the + or - buttons until you reach the desired temperature.
- Wait 5 seconds for the temperature to stop blinking.
- Wait until the wine cellar reaches its temperature before you place the wine bottles inside.
The inside light does not go on (or it goes off temporarily) when the inside temperature goes over 24°C. This allows you to reach the pre-set temperature more quickly.
This appliance is intended to be used exclusively for the storage of wine.
The appliance is recommended to be used at 18°C for the best maintaining of red wine, 8°C for white wine or 12°C as an average temperature for both red and white wine. The temperature may be adjusted for wine that requires particular maintaining temperature.
Normal operating sounds
The following sounds are normal during operation:
- A faint gurgling and bubbling sound from coils when refrigerant is pumped. - A whirring and pulsating sound from the compressor when refrigerant is pumped. - A sudden cracking noise from inside the appliance caused by thermal dilatation (a natural and not dangerous physical phenomenon). - A faint click noise from the temperature regulator when the compressor switches on or off.
Stocking the wine bottles
Standard 24-bottle stock
The 24-bottle stock (for standard, mixed, and renana bottles) is recommended for wines that need to be visible and easily removed.
STANDARD
24 Bottles
(100% lying down)
3 shelves
Position each bottle into the slots on the 3 wooden shelves. 6 bottles can be placed on the bottom of the wine cooler. We suggest placing the longer bottles (Rhine wine type) at the cellar base. The base is suitable for hosting larger bottles.
Cleaning and maintenance
Regularly clean the inside and outside of the refrigerator using only warm water and a neutral detergent.
Subsequent to washing, rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly using a soft cloth.
Do not use the following: special glass and mirror cleaning products, liquid, powder, or spray detergents, alcohol, ammonia or abrasive products.
If you are not using the minibar, we suggest cleaning it well inside and leaving the door ajar to ventilate the interior.
Before maintenance, deactivate the appliance and disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket.
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in the cooling unit. Only a qualified person must do the maintenance and the recharging of the unit.
Regularly examine the drain of the appliance and if necessary, clean it. If the drain is blocked, defrosted water collects in the bottom of the appliance.
The interior of the wine cooler should be cleaned regularly to avoid odor.
Check the door gasket regularly to make sure there are no debris.
Please turn off the power before cleaning.
Clean the inside surfaces with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Troubleshooting
If you notice that your wine cooler is not working properly, check the following list before you call your Service Centre.
Problem Possible causes/Solutions
| The compressor does not work | The plug is not plugged into the wall-outlet or not enough to make contact. Or, there could be a power failure in your home.The wall-outlet is not in working order. Plug the wine cellar into another wall-outlet to check. |
The compressor never stops. Contact the Service Centre.
Any work that is done to the wine cellar should be performed by your authorized local Service Centre.
Short term faults, such as power failure, will not compromise the wines. It is only when working faults are left unsettled for a long time that the wine may suffer.
