TEMPERATURE DISPLAY
During normal operation, the temperature display on the control panel shows the temperature inside the appliance. The
temperature display will flash if:
- A different temperature is beingset,
- The temperature in the zone deviates by more than 5°C from the set temperature. The temperature display flashing
ensures that the temperature cannot rise or fall un-noticed and impair the wine.
TEMPERATURE ALARM
An alarm will sound if the temperature in one of the zones rises or falls outside the temperature range. The relevant
temperature display will flash at the same time. The alarm will sound and the temperature display will flash:
- When you switch the appliance on, if the temperature inside the appliance is very different from the temperature set.
- When there has been a lengthy interruption to the powersupply.
- When too many items have been put into the unit at onetime.
- When the door has not been closedtightly.
DOOR ALARM
If the door has been left open for more than 60s, the alarm will sound.
Once the set temperature has been reached in the appliance, the alarm stops and the relevant temperature display stops
flashing. However, if the noise disturbs you, you can switch the alarm off before this if you wish by pressing the POWER key
one. The alarm will stop. The relevant temperature display continues to flash until the set temperature has been reached. The
display then lights up constantly and the alarm system is fully active again.
INTERIOR LIGHT
The interior light makes it easy to view your wines labels and enhances the display of your collection. Touching the
LIGHT mark toggles between two modes of operation for the internal lights:
- Functional mode (default): the light will turn on only when the door is open
- Showcase mode: the lights will be on whether or not the door isopen.
DYNAMIC CLIMATE /SILENT MODE
This Dynamic Climate Mode enables the relative humidity inside the unit and the temperature to be distributed evenly around
the interior so you can store your wine under exactly the same excellent conditions. If you would like to use the unit to store
wine long term, the dynamic climate mode is a must. This create a continuous climate in the cabinet which imitates that of a
wine cellar.
In the Dynamic Climate Mode, the interiorfancirculates insideair evenly even the settemperature is reached. Dynamic Climate
Mode is not the factory preset mode, creating noise and more energy consumption. To change to Dynamic climate, touch and
hold the DOWN key for approximately 5 seconds. The wine cooler will beep 5 times to confirm Dynamic climate mode is on.
To change back to Silent (default) Mode, touch and hold the UP key 5 seconds the wine cooler will beep 3 times to confirm
Silent mode ison.

SABBATH MODE
Sabbath mode is available for the observance of certain religious holidays. This mode turns off the displays, interior light and
audible alarms and prevents them from turning on again. Normal cooling operations will still take place. To initiate Sabbath
mode, press the POWER and LIGHT keys at the same time for at least 5 seconds. The indicator light will flash four times
and confirm the Sabbath mode is ON. Sabbath mode can be excited by repeating the above process. The Sabbath Mode
will automatically exit after 96 hours.
ECO DEMO MODE
Eco Demo mode can be activated by presenting the appliance at exhibitions or in salesrooms. In Eco Demo mode, the
compressor and all fan motors are switched OFF. By pressing and holding the “UP” &“DOWN” (The controls of lower zone
for dual zone & three zone models) and “LIGHT” keys at the same time for at least 5 seconds, the indicator light will flash
five times to confirm the input and the unit will operate in Eco Demo mode. Eco Demo mode can be excited by repeating the
above process.
SHELVES
 To prevent damaging the door gasket, make sure the door is fully open when pulling shelves out of the rail compartment.
 For easy access to the bottles stored, pull the shelves out approximately 1/3. The shelves are designed with an
emergency stop to prevent them being removed too far whenloaded.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Removing Shelves
 To remove any of the shelves from the rail compartment, move the shelf to the position where the notch of wooden shelf
is exactly under the plastic post and lift the wooden shelf. Please ensure these are replaced when the shelf is put back.
HUMIDITY MAINTENANCE SYSTEM
The wine cellar not equipped of charcoal filter have a manual system for maintaining a correct level of humidity. If humidity is
too low, snap the small plastic reservoir on to top rack of wine cellar. Fill reservoir to ¾ full. Check water level occasionally to
refill.
Designed by specialists in oenology as written above, the wine cellar is allowed for a storage period of 2 months maximum.
CLIMADIFF has taken care of the cork’s sensibility to the humidity rate. That’s why the plastic reservoir has to be put on the
top shelf to ensure a minimum humidity. Be careful to control the water level if you store your wine cellar for a long period.
Make sure the water tank is well positioned to avoid any liquid falling.
LOADING
The maximum amount of bottles able to be stored which is given, is only given as an indication, done in factory and is not
contractual. This indication (aswith the capacity inliters of arefrigerator) is to give a quick estimation of the size of the product.
This indication corresponds to tests done with a standard bottle: the bottle type “Bordeaux tradition 75 cl” (the standardized
classification contains for each bottle a geographic origin (Bordeaux, Bourgogne, Provence,), and a type (traditional, heavy,
light, flute,) each with its own specific height and diameter.

45
In fact, one could store more bottles by stacking a single type of bottle and without shelves. But a “varied” cabinet is made up
of a large variety of bottles and the “practical” side of the daily use of a cabinet limits the number of bottles stored. Most
probably, a few less bottles will be stored than the indicatedamount.
For example, if the cellar is filled only with bottles of burgundy, there will be approximately 30% fewer bottles than the initial
quantity calculated for Bordeaux
Any added shelf will decrease the loading capacity.
EXAMPLES OF SERVING TEMPERATURES
(TO BE COMPLIED WITH WHEN TASTING YOUR WINES!)
Opinions vary as does the ambient temperature but the general consensus is as follows:
Vintage Bordeaux - Reds 16 – 17°C
Vintage Burgundy - Reds 15 – 16°C
Vintage dry white wines 14 – 16°C
Light, fruity, young reds 11 – 12°C
Rosés de Provence, early wines 10 – 12°C
Dry whites and regional red wines 10 – 12°C
Regional white wines 8 – 10°C
Champagnes 7 – 8°C
Sweet wines 6°C
DEFROST - CONDENSATION
The cabinetis equipped with an automatic defrostcycle.When thecoolingcycle isfinished, the refrigerated parts of the cabinet
are defrosted automatically. The water from the defrost is channelled into an evaporation tray which is located in the back of
the cabinet close to the compressor. The heat from the compressor then evaporates the water from the tray.
UPKEEP
Before cleaning the cabinet (this must be done regularly), disconnect it either by unplugging it or by removing the fuse.
It is suggested that before first use and then regularly, the cabinet be cleaned both inside and out (front,sides and on top) with
a mixture of warm water and gentle cleaning fluid. Rinse with water and let dry completely before reconnecting. Do not use
solvents or abrasive products.
Clean the shelves with a gentle detergent then dry with a soft dry cloth.
At the moment of the first use, some odours can persist. In this case, make functioning the appliance at the coldest
temperatures, empty, during a few hours. The cold will cancel all these possible odours.
WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF A POWER OUTAGE
Most power outages are resolved in a short time. An outage of 1 or 2 hours will not affect the temperatures in your cabinet. In
order to protect the wines during the outage, open the dooras little as possible. For outages that are verylong, take necessary
steps to protect the wine. In the event of a power interruption, the unit can remember the previous temperature settings, and
when the power is recovery, the cabinet temperature will go back the same setting temperature as power off.
