Bottle ageing compartment
The ageing compartment's main function is that of
guaranteeing that your wines are preserved in optimal
conditions.
The temperature has been set in the factory at a tem-
perature held to be excellent in most cases and is
59°F in the upper compartment.
Wine has a complex nature and it derives from a
long and slow process. In order to best express its
attributes, very specific conditions are necessary.
All wines are preserved at the same temperature, but,
depending on their different characteristics, wines are
served and tasted at very different temperatures (see
the Table of ideal wine temperatures).
Therefore, just as for manufacturers' wine cellars, for
your new appliance, the absolute temperature value
is not important for preserving your wine. Rather, the
constant temperature through time is important. Wine
preservation is ideal at any temperature, as long as
that temperature does not vary.
Manual temperature control
Should you need to adjust the temperature inside the
wine cellar, follow the instructions below:
1. When you plug in your wine cellar, the display
shows the temperature that has been set
2. Press the UP button for one second. The
temperature will begin to blink.
3. Press the or buttons until you reach the
desired temperature.
4. Wait 5 seconds for the temperature to stop blinking.
5. Wait until the wine cellar reaches its temperature
before you place the wine bottles inside.
The inside light does not go on (or it goes off
temporarily) when the inside temperature goes
over 75,2°F. This allows you to reach the pre-set
temperature more quickly.
Using the wine cellar
Operation of a cellar with a double or a single tem-
perature zone
The cellar has been set up so as to work with two
different temperature zones, or else – depending on
the needs of the customer – with a single temperature
zone.
In order to work at double temperature, one must
place the black bottle holder grill on the guides of the
fourth shelf (counting top down), then set the tempe-
rature you want in the upper area. Remember that the
temperature of the lower area, once you have reached
the temperature you want, will be higher than the one
you set by about 42,8°F (the temperature of the lower
area cannot be set separately).
Note: for a proper preservation of the wine, it is
recommended to set the thermostat temperature to
50°F, to get a temperature delta of 41° ÷ 42,8°F.
For single temperature area operation, you must remo-
ve the black bottle holder grill and replace it with the
accessory grid (of the same kind of the other wood
colour ones, already installed) . We suggest you keep
the unused grid in a dry and cool place, in order to
prevent it from being damaged by humidityor by other
atmospheric agents, as this would make it unusable in
the future.
Temperature control
Top area:
the temperature of the top area can be seen at any
time on the control display
Bottom area:
to see the temperature of the bottom area, press the
"-" (minus) button for one second. The temperature of
the bottom area will be displayed for three seconds.
This operation may be repeated several times, in order
to check the temperature of the bottom compartment
(shelves 5 and 6).
If there is a single temperature area, you only need to
look at the temperature shown on the control display,
without pressing any button.

Table of ideal wine temperatures
This table indicates the approximate temperatures at which wine should be served. Should one of your wines need
to be served at a temperature that is greater than the temperature inside your wine cellar, we suggest that you leave
it wine out for the time that is necessary before you serve it.

Standard 36-bottle stock
The 36-bottle stock (for standard, mixed, and renana
bottles) is recommended for wines that need to be
visible and easily removed.
Position each bottle into the slots on the 5 wooden
shelves. 6 bottles can be placed on the bottom of the
wine cellar.
!The wooden shelves are fastened to sliding guides
to make it easier to use them and to lock them into
place, in order to avoid unintentional extraction which
could lead the bottles to fall down.
We suggest you place the Renana bottles onto the
lower shelf and the bottom of the wine cellar because
they have been specially designed to hold larger
bottles.
! The wooden shelf can
safely hold up to 22
bottles.

Champagne bottle stock
Champagne bottles are larger than standard bottles.
They must be placed onto the base of the wine cellar,
which can hold up to 5.
If you want to stock more than 5 Champagne bottles
in your wine cellar, remove the 5th shelf and stock the
bottles in two rows (placing the bottles in the second
row between those on the bottom row). This will hold
up to 9 bottles.
For a small number of bottles
If you do not need to store enough bottles to fill the
entire wine cellar, we suggest that you divide them
up between the available shelves and that you do not
place them all on top or on the bottom.
Place the bottles in the centre of the shelves to see
them better from the outside.

Maintenance and troubleshooting
Care and maintenance
Disconnecting the wine cellar
During cleaning and maintenance, it is imperative that you unplug the wine cellar
Troubleshooting
If you notice that your wine cellar is not working properly, check with the following list before you call your
Service Centre.
! Any work that is done to the wine cellar should be performed by your authorized local Service Centre.
! Short term faults, such as power failure, will not compromise the wines. It is only when working faults are left
unsettled for a long time that the wine may suffer.
Problem
The compressor does not work
The compressor never stops
Possible causes/solutions
• The plug is not plugged into the wall-outlet or not enough to make
contact. Or, there could be a power failure in your home.
• The wall-outlet is not in working order. Plug the wine cellar into another
wall-outlet to check.
• Contact the Service Centre
