• Recommended location (refer to the paragraph on the ESOMMELIER® function)
• Detection of bottles by the cellar when removing or adding bottles

Warning: in a particular case, the front led lights may remain on, they will turn off automatically after 5 minutes.

Modes of use

Your cellar has two temperature modes:

• The "mono-temperature" mode is activated by default. It allows the choice of a single temperature throughout the cellar between +5 and +20 °C. In this mode the fans are activated to ensure the circulation of air in the cellar. The temperature displayed on the digital screen corresponds to the set temperature and the message "MONO" is displayed.
• The "multi-temperature" mode makes it possible to obtain different temperatures inside the cellar, in the form of a gradient ranging from a warmer temperature at the top of the cellar, temperate in the middle and colder at the bottom of the cellar. In this mode the fans are disabled. The setpoint temperature is fixed automatically and cannot be changed, the screen displays "AUTO"; the device automatically manages the temperature. No adjustment is necessary.

Here are the temperatures that can be reached in multi-temperature mode under normal conditions of use, i.e. an ambient temperature of 25 ^ maximum (refer to the section "Installing your wine cabinet"). The temperature distribution indicated in the table is given as an indication, as variations may occur between the different levels depending on the cooling cycles, the number of bottles loaded in the cellar and the outside ambient temperature. The air flows inside the cavity will be influenced by these different factors.

The device ensures that the temperature is maintained as long as it is in operation and is used under normal conditions of use. The temperature inside the appliance and its energy consumption can be influenced by many factors: ambient temperature, exposure to the sun, number of door openings and quantity stored... Slight changes in temperature are perfectly normal.

- Demo mode

A demo mode is present on your device, when this mode is activated, the compressor, the fans and the alarms are deactivated, however the cellar keeps its display and light functions.

To activate this mode you must keep pressing the light (H) + C / F (F) keys for 3 seconds, then the displayed temperature or the AUTO icon will flash 5 times.

To exit the demo mode, repeat the same operation.

- The “ESOMMELIER®” mode

ESOMMELIER® mode is an assisted placement function for your bottles that can only be used if you have a connected LA SOMMELIERE cellar and an active VINOTAG® account.

This feature recommends the ideal location to store your wine.

When you scan a bottle, VINOTAG® identifies the type of wine; storage temperatures are recommended for each type of wine for optimal conservation.

Certain locations in your cellar are therefore more suitable depending on the type of wine.

By using this mode, the cellar offers you available and suitable locations for the scanned bottle of wine; indicator lights light up in the cellar to show you these locations up to a maximum of 12 simultaneous locations.

Winter mode

Your cellar is equipped with an automatic heating system also called “winter system”. When the temperature measured by the cellar probe is too cold (-4°C) for a period of 10 minutes compared to the set point, then the cellar resistance is activated to allow the temperature to heat up.

This system is activated and deactivated automatically and without user intervention. The automatic activation or deactivation of the Winter system has no impact on the conservation of your wine.

Cellar maintenance

Cave 1 Cellar under maintenance All movements in your cellar are blocked Exit maintenance

From the cellar configuration, it is possible to put your cellar in maintenance.

This manipulation blocks all movements that may take place in the cellar (addition, movement, deletion).

The reception view is therefore blocked by a "cellar under maintenance" view. To exit maintenance mode, click on the "Exit maintenance" button.

Warning! When you exit maintenance mode, you can:

• Reload the last registered layout
• Go back to an empty cellar. In that case you have to restart process from the beginning and scan your first bottle.

6. 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 smell. In that case, runt the appliance empty for a few hours at the coldest possible temperature. The cold will kill any smell.

Automatic defrost

An automatic defrost is programmed on your cellar. There is no impact for wines stored in the cellar during the defrosting phase.

During defrost; the compressor and the fans will be off. The digital display will show normal temperature, however if you want to display the actual temperature of your cellar, the display will show you the code "DD" which is normal.

Changing the carbon filter

Your wine cellar is equipped with a charcoal filter, which is positioned at the bottom right corner of your cellar. We recommend that you replace it once a year. To replace it, simply pull it out from inside the cellar and put a new filter back in.

If you use the app, a reminder notification will be sent to you when changing the filter is necessary.

In the event of a power cut

The majority of power outages are resolved within a short period of time.

A shutdown of 1 or 2 hours will not affect your cellar temperatures.

To protect your wines during power cuts, consider minimizing the number of door openings.

For very long power cuts, take the necessary measures to protect your wine.

If the device is unplugged, turned off or there is a power cut, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting it. If you try to restart it before this time, the compressor will start only after 3/5 minutes (if the temperature requires it).
At the first start-up and following a prolonged shutdown of the cellar, it is possible that when restarting the temperatures chosen and those displayed do not correspond. This is normal. It will then be necessary to wait a few hours before the temperatures regain their stability.
- In the event of a power cut, the device stores the set temperatures in memory. When the appliance is put back into service, it is therefore unnecessary to reprogram the cellar temperatures.

Warning ! During a power cut, the ECELLAR no longer records movements, so avoid modifying the wine stock.

When the power is turned on again, the cellar will update the stocks in order to detect the release or addition of a new bottle.

If an add or remove operation is performed via the app, it will save the changes, but if it is a free action (without going through the app) and a bottle is removed and replaced by a new one at the same location, the cellar will not make the distinction when it is restarted.

If you go on vacation

Short stays: let your cellar operate during your stay if it lasts less than 3 weeks.

Long stays: if your device is not to be used for several months, remove all bottles and accessories, turn off and unplug the device from the power outlet. Clean and dry the inside and outside of the appliance thoroughly. Also leave the door open, blocking it if necessary, to prevent the formation of condensate, odors and mold.

If you need to move your wine cellar

• Unplug your cellar before any operation.
• Remove all bottles from the cellar and secure the moving parts.
• To avoid damaging the leg leveling screws, screw them all the way into their base.
• Close the door completely.
• Move the device to a vertical position preferably or note from the inscriptions on the packaging, the direction in which the device can be laid. Also protect your device with a blanket or similar cloth.

7. IN THE EVENT OF A BREAKDOWN

Despite the care we take during production, a breakdown can never be totally excluded. 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.

For phones that need a certain distance to focus, you can pull out the top shelf of your cellar to have a better distance between the lens of your phone and the cellar QR code.
The label of the wine I photograph is not recognized by the application	The photo taken via the application must be of good quality (not blurred), the photo must be taken so that the wine label fills in the white frame of the application. If that still doesn't work, try taking a close-up photo of just the name of the wine.
