1. GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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.
• Keep the appliance and its power cable out of reach of children less than 8 years old.
• Before you throw away your old wine cooler: take off the door. Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

2) Compartment selection button
3) Temperature displays
4) Button to increase temperature
5) Button to decrease temperature

To switch the wine cellar on or off, press buttons 1 and 2 simultaneously. To change the temperature reading unit, press the light button (1) for 5 seconds. The display will show the selected temperature unit (°C or °F).

It is possible to adjust the temperature degree by degree; the temperature can be adjusted with the keys d to the t of the temperature display. In first, the desired compartment must be selected by pressing button 2. The temperature range of this cellar is between 5°C and 18°C in each zone.

To turn on or off the indoor light, press button 1. 📄 light (LED) is suitable for storing wine. However, it is advisable to turn off the light in normal use.

IMPORTANT: the temperature selected for the upper compartment must always be lower than the temperature selected for lower compartment (2-compartment model).

Temperature display

In normal operation, the display shows the temperature inside the cellar. When you increase or decrease this temperature, the display will show the desired temperature. After a few moments, the display will again show the temperature measured in the cellar. The temperature display will flash if:

• A different temperature is being set,
• The temperature in the zone deviates by more than 5^ C from the set temperature. The temperature display flashing ensures that the temperature cannot rise or fall un-noticed and impair the wine.

NOTE: when first used or after operating the wine cellar after a long period of inactivity, the inner temperature will not immediately be the temperature shows on the display. Indeed, it is necessary to wait a few hours for a temperature adjustment of the wine cellar in order to have a homogeneous temperature. To avoid excessive condensation when the ambient temperature is above 28^ C, do not lower the temperature to below 7^ C.

IMPORTANT: after unplugging, turning off the power or after a power failure, it is imperative to wait 5 minutes before turning it on again. Otherwise, the wine cellar will not turn on.

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 18^ 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.

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.
• To remove or reposition the shelves, move the shelf to the position where the notch of wooden shelf is exactly under the plastic post and lift the wooden shelf. Please ensure these are replaced when the shelf is put back.

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 green and blue colors, some outlined for scale (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.

• Verify that you can shut the door without touching a bottle before closing.
• When loading several bottles at once, it will take more time for the unit to reach the desired temperature.

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.
