5. 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 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.

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.

Carbon Filter change

A good ambient air quality is important for wine maturing. The Carbon Filter is very helpful to absorb odor and improve air quality. For the models with Carbon Filter, we suggest to replace it once a year. Please contact your dealer to get the filter.

Removing the carbon filter:

- Hold the carbon filter and turn it 90^ to the left or right to remove it

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.
• Before removing a Shelf from the appliance, it is necessary to remove all the bottles on the shelf.

- With telescopic rail, please lift the whole shelf upwards horizontally to get it off from the 4 locating pins of telescopic rail.

6. 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 multiple wine bottles with colored labels and white outlines, no text or symbols present

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

7. 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 re-starting, 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.

8. 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!

Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance or repair work.
