Disposal

This device carries the selective waste sorting symbol for electrical and electronic equipment disposal. This means that the product must be picked up by a selective collection system in compliance with European Directive 2012/19 EU so that it will either be recycled or dismantled in an environment-friendly way.

For more information please contact your local or regional government.

Electronic products that are not properly and selectively recycled are potentially dangerous for the environment and for human health because they contain dangerous substances.

This device contains flammable foaming agents. When the refrigerator reaches the end of its life cycle, it must be disposed of in a suitable place, where refrigerators can be recycled. For this purpose please contact your town hall or municipality. Under no circumstances must the refrigerator be disposed of in public areas.

SETTING UP THE CABINET

If this device, which uses magnetic door closing, replaces a device equipped with a spring closing system, we advise you to destroy the spring closing system before disposing of the old device. This will prevent children from locking themselves inside it and endangering their lives.

Location

Place your cabinet well away from heat sources (heater, cooker, direct sunlight). For proper operation of the device, the ambient room temperature should be between +16^ and +32^ (class N). Outside these limits, the device will not operate properly.

• Ensure that air can circulate freely behind the device: do not place it too close to a wall, in order to avoid noise from vibration. Ensure that air can circulate freely all around the device. Insufficient ventilation will lead to poor operation and increased energy consumption.

Leave at least 2 cm between the walls and the wine cabinet and 3 cm minimum between the rear of the wine cabinet and the wall. Leave at least 10 cm free space above the device.

• The device must be installed in such a way that the electric plug is accessible. After installing the cabinet, make sure that it is not resting on the power cord.

• Level the device by using the 2 adjustable feet.

Recessed mounting

This device can be freestanding or built-in under a work surface. In the latter case, the size of the device must be taken into account:

Connecting the power supply

Your cabinet is designed for operation with 230 V single-phase.

It must be connected to a wall socket equipped with earthing and protected by a 10 A fuse in compliance with the local standard and in compliance with your electricity supplier's prescriptions.

Important Note:

During installation of the handle on the glass door, it is mandatory to use the specific gaskets supplied and screw without forcing.

Failure to comply with these requirements may result in breakage of the glass and will not be supported by the manufacturer's warranty.

SPECIFIC INFORMATION

• We recommend that you install your wine cabinet in a temperate room.
  If the inside light remains on, please note that the inside temperature will be higher.
• Temperature inside the wine cabinet may vary depending on the type and the number of bottles contained.
  In order to keep your wines at a stable temperature, avoid leaving the door open for long periods.
• Do not install your wine cabinet close to a heat source; avoid direct sunlight.
  In order to guarantee your safety, and to prevent your wine being spoilt, do not place the cabinet in humid locations.
• Do not store perishable foodstuffs inside your wine cabinet.
• The wine cabinet is not designed for use in a garage, outside, or in the open air.
• The following (approximate) temperatures are recommended for wine drinking:

Great Bordeaux wines - Red 16-17°C
Great Burgundy wines - Red 15-16°C
Great vintages dry white wines 14-16°C
Red wines, fruity wines, young wines 11-12°C
Rose wines from Provence, early-to-market wines 10-12°C
Dry white wines and local red wines 10-12°C
O Local white wines 8 - 10^
Champagnes 7-8°C
Liqueur wines 6^

• Temperature stability is of the greatest importance when storing wine.
• Exposure to light, vibrations, temperature variations or humidity can spoil the wine.

If the refrigerating circuit is damaged:

According to experts, the ideal preservation temperatures for wine are around 12^ , between 10^ to 14^ . This should not be confused with the service temperature, which varies from 5^ to 18^ depending on the specifics of each type of wine.

It is important above all to avoid sudden temperature changes. Designed by specialists for wine lovers, this device, unlike a simple refrigerator, provides electronic control of the constant mean temperature.

The anti-vibration system:

The compressor is equipped with special shock absorbers (silent-blocks) and the inner-liner is isolated from the frame by a thick polyurethane foam layer. These characteristics prevent vibrations from reaching the wines.

The anti-UV system:

Light accelerates the ageing of your wines. In wine cabinets with solid doors, wines are naturally protected, on condition that the door is not opened too often. This model with a glass door has been specially treated in order to filter out harmful ultra-violet rays; therefore the wines are fully protected.

Defrosting:

This product does not generate frost (No-Frost). Therefore no frosting or icing will take place, and no operations are required to eliminate them.

Racks

In order to avoid damaging the door seal, ensure that the door is fully open before moving the racks along the compartment rails when loading or unloading bottles.

For easier access to the contents of the racks, you need to slide the rack outwards approximately one third of the way; each rack has a carriage stop on either side to prevent the bottles from falling.

To remove or position the racks, tilt the rack as shown in the diagram and pull or push as required. 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.

How to load and care for your wine cabinet:

Here we see 4 types of 75 cl bottles, Burgundy and Bordeaux, of different sizes.

There are many other types, with various volumes and of all shapes.

Note the different ways they are stored depending on the height and diameter of the bottles as well as the interleaving method used.

Loading for maximum capacity

The maximum number of stored bottles is based on standard Bordeaux bottles containing 0.75 L.

USAGE

Starting up the device

Once the wine cabinet is properly installed, we advise that you clean the inside using warm water with a low concentration of dishwashing liquid. Do not use abrasives or scouring powder; they may scratch the surface finish.

USAGE

CAUTION! Wine cabinets are intended only for storing and preserving wine.

IMPORTANT: Your wine cabinet is ideally suitable for holding Bordeaux type bottles of 0.75 L capacity. It can contain larger bottles; however care must be taken that they do not prevent the door from closing properly.

• When closing the door ensure that it does not touch any of the bottles.
  If you load several bottles at a time, it will take longer before the cabinet reaches the desired temperature.
  In order to avoid damaging the door seal, ensure that the door is fully open before moving the racks along the compartment rails.

NOTE: when first operating the wine, or switching it on after a long period of non-use, the inside temperature will not immediately be the temperature shown on the temperature indicator; it will take a few hours before the wine cabinet reaches an evenly distributed temperature.

In order to avoid excessive condensation when the ambient temperature is greater than 28^ , do not set the temperature below 7^ .

IMPORTANT: after unplugging or switching off the device, or after a power outage, it is imperative to wait for 5 min before switching back on. If not, the wine cabinet will not switch on.

CARE OF YOUR CABINET

DEFROSTING
