Note: This unit contains the refrigerant Isobutane (R600a), a natural gas that has high environmental compatibility, but is flammable. Although it is flammable, it does not damage the ozone layer or increase the greenhouse effect. The use of this refrigerant results in a slightly higher noise level of the unit. In addition to the compressor noise, you can hear the flow of refrigerant. This is unavoidable and has no negative effect on the performance of the device. Be careful during transport to avoid damage to the refrigerant circuit. Refrigerant leaks can irritate the eyes.

WARNING

When using, during maintenance and when disposing of the appliance, pay attention to the left symbol located on the back or on the compressor of the appliance. This symbol warns you of possible fires. There are flammable substances in the refrigerant lines and in the compressor. Keep the appliance away from sources of fire during use, maintenance and disposal.

INSTALLATION

Location

The location you have selected for your wine cellar should:

• be unencumbered and well ventilated;
- be well away from any heat source and direct sunlight;
• not be too damp (laundry, pantry, bathroom etc.);
• have a flat floor;
• have a standard and reliable electricity supply
• have a surge protector fitted to the electrical outlet;
- Away from the microwave oven. Certain microwave ovens do not have wave interference shield. When placed within 1 meter vicinity of the wine cabinet, they may affect the operation of the wine cabinet.

Placing in cold or hot temperature conditions may cause cellar's temperatures fluctuating, and it will not reach the ideal one.

Installation

• Unpack and remove all of the protection and adhesive strips from the packaging around and inside the wine cellar.
• The wine cellar must be positioned such that the plug is accessible. Release the power cord. Move your wine cellar to its final location. The wine cellar should be installed in a suitable place where the compressor will not be subject to physical contact.
• Wine cellar must be levelled before loading your wines. Your wine cellar is equipped with 4 adjustable feet to facilitate easy levelling. The cooler recommends that you tighten the back feet to the maximum and adjust the front feet to level the wine cellar.

Fully integrated built in column instructions

RISK OF DAMAGE : The wine cabinet has an elongated glass door and must not be set down vertically at any time!

Design 1

The unit door seals the installed unit almost completely, so an air vent must be provided in the base of the housing. Warmed air must be conducted via the ventilation shaft to the rear wall of the housing and then expelled upwards. The ventilation channels should measure at least 200 square centimetres in cross-section.

Tips

• Store the wine 1 or 2^ cooler than the recommended drinking temperature as it warms up a little when poured into the glass.
• Full-bodied reds should be opened for 2-3 hours before drinking to allow the wine to breathe and develop its aroma.

Important information about temperature

Your unit has been designed to guarantee optimum conditions for storing and/or serving your wines. Fine wines require long and gentle developments and need specific conditions in which to reach their full potential.

All wines mature at the same temperature, which is a constant temperature set between 11 °C to 14 °C. Only the temperature of "dégustation" (wine appreciation) varies according to the type of wines (see the Wine Serving Temperature Chart as above). This being said and as it is for natural cellars used by wine producers for long period of storage, it is not the exact temperature that is important, but its consistency. In other words, as long as the temperature of your wine cellar is constant (between 11 °C to 14 °C, or 52 °F to 57 °F) your wines will be stored under perfect conditions.

Not all wines will improve over the years. Some should be consumed at an early stage (2 to 3 years) while others have tremendous ageing capability (50 years and over). All wins have a peak in maturity. Check with your wine merchant to get the relevant information.

At too high a temperature (over 22 °C) wine matures too quickly, which prevents the aromas from developing further. Wine cannot mature fully at too low a temperature (below 5 °C).

Fluctuations in temperature put wine under stress and interrupt the maturing process. It is therefore very important to maintain a constant temperature.
