oThere can be an odo r when yo first switch on the appliance. It
will lessen as the appliance starts to cool.
During first use
oWhen yo first switch on the appliance, the compressor will r n
contin o sly ntil the wine cabinet reaches a cool eno gh
temperat re.
oD ring this period of time, yo sho ld try not to open the door
freq ently or place bottles inside of the appliance.
oIf the nit is switched off or npl gged, yo m st allow at least 5
min tes before restarting the appliance or reconnecting it to
yo r mains s pply.

oUse the temperat re increase and
temperat re decrease b ttons to set the
temperat re that yo req ire. Each press
of these b ttons will adj st the temperat re on the LED display
by one degree.
oWhilst yo are setting the temperat re of the cooling zone, the
LED display will flash. When yo stop pressing the temperat re
b ttons, after 3 seconds the display will stop flashing and the
temperat re of the cooling zone will be set.
oThe LED display will show the temperat re that is c rrently being
registered by the cooling zone.
Changing between Fahrenheit and Celsius
oYo can select whether the LED display shows Celsi s
or Fahrenheit by pressing and holding the light control
b tton for abo t 5 seconds.
oThe Celsi s / Fahrenheit indicator neons will light to show
whether Celsi s or Fahrenheit is c rrently shown.
oYo cannot change the display if yo are in the process of
adj sting the temperat re of the cooling zone (i.e. the display is
flashing).
Interior light
oTo operate the interior light, yo sho ld se the light
ON/OFF b tton.
oYo cannot operate the interior light if yo are in the process of
adj sting the temperat re of a cooling zone (i.e. the displays are
flashing).

The safety lock
oIf no b ttons have been operated after 10 min tes, the safety
lock will activate a tomatically.
oTo deactivate the safety lock, press and
hold the temperat re increase b tton and
temperat re decrease b tton
sim ltaneo sly for abo t 3 seconds.
oYo can activate the safety lock man ally by repeating this
proced re.
Loading the wine cabinet
IMPORTANT: Your appliance is ideally suited to store
0.75 litre Bordeaux wine bottles. Whilst it can store larger
bottles, you must ma e sure that they do not prevent the
door from shutting properly.
oAlways check that yo can close the door witho t it fo ling
on a wine bottle, before sh tting it.
oWhen loading several bottles of wine at once, it will take
longer for the appliance to cool the individ al bottles.
Storing your wines
The chart below indicates the ideal storage temperatures for different
types of wine:-
Type of wine Temperature
(Celsius)
Temperature
(Fahrenheit)
Red wine (*) 15.5 – 18.5°C 59.9 – 65.3°F
White wine (**) 10 - 15°C 50 – 59°F
Sparkling
wines/champagne
7.2 – 9.5°C 45 – 49.1°F
Rose wine 9.5 – 10.5°C 49.1 – 50.9°F
Vintage wine 13°C 55°F
* Light red wines, s ch as Bea jolais, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Franc
benefit from being served slightly cooler than f ll-bodied reds.
** Chardonnay is often served too cold. Yo sho ld chill it at a warmer
temperat re inside of yo r wine cabinet. Or leave it to warm slightly
when yo remove it from yo r wine cabinet.
oTemperat re stability is the most important factor when it comes
to storing wine.

14
oExpos re to light, vibrations or fl ct ations in temperat re and
h midity can all ca se wine to spoil. When properly stored,
wines not only maintain their q ality b t many will act ally
improve in aroma, flavo r and complexity as they mat re.
oWines kept at a higher temperat re will age faster. Wine that is
exposed to temperat res that are greater than 21°C (70°F) will
s ffer from poorer flavo r and aroma.
oIf wine is kept at too low a temperat re, this can res lt in the
development of harmf l deposits. A h midity of 70% is ideal for
keeping corks from shrinking.
oAfter a bottle of wine has been opened, the wine comes into
contact with air. So it is best to store the remainder of the bottle
pright, to minimize the s rface area of the wine that is coming
into contact with the air.
oOnce opened, wine will remain in a drinkable condition for two
days for delicate whites or three days for rich reds, as long as
the bottle as been resealed. Yo sho ld make s re that the seal
is firm by checking the stopper.
oSpecial stoppers that keep wine sparking and Champagne
b bbling for one or two days after opening, can be bo ght at
most good wine shops.
oWhen stored correctly, white wines can keep well for p to two
years. F ll bodied reds will age well for ten years and dessert
wines will age well for p to twenty years.
oWhen yo b y a bottle of wine, yo sho ld transfer it to a
s itable storage location immediately (if yo are not going to
store it in yo r wine cabinet).
oCheaper bottles of wine will not age as well as more expensive
ones.
oTo make the most of the bo q et and taste of yo r wine, never
fill more than half a glass at a time. It will also help if the shape
of yo r wine glass is appropriate for yo r wine. The size and
shape of yo r wine glass’s bowl will determine the intensity and
complexity of the bo q et. The stem sho ld be long eno gh to
allow yo to avoid hand contact with the bowl of the glass and
sho ld be t lip-shaped or tapered at the top.

Wine storage problems
Corking- a tiny percentage of bottled wine (abo t 1%) will s ffer from
this. The cork reacts with the wine and gives it a m sty, npleasant
taste. It is the most common wine storage problem and is ca sed by
harmless bacteria growing on the cork. As nfort nate as this is, there
is nothing to do b t to discard all of the wine in the affected bottle.
This is not to be conf sed with small fragments of cork floating in the
wine itself, which will not impair the flavo r.
Oxidisation- when wine has been opened and left for longer than a
day; it tends to lose its aroma and colo r, giving an overall flat taste.
The only way to avoid this, it to either drink the wine on the same day
it was opened or to se a vac m device specially designed for
removing oxygen from opened wine bottles. If yo se s ch a device,
the wine sho ld still be cons med shortly afterwards.
Ullage- this is loss of wine from the bottle by evaporation or leakage.
Signs of llage incl de wine seeping aro nd the cork, a protr ding cork
or a stained label. It can happen if the bottle has been allowed to get
too warm. The wine may still be drinkable, if the leakage was recent;
however, yo sho ld be aware that if the wine cools down again,
contraction can ca se more air to be s cked into the bottle and res lt
in f rther deterioration.
Slight effervescence in still wine- this isn’t really a problem with
the way the wine has been stored, b t as a res lt of incomplete
malolactic fermentation before the wine was bottled. A good way to
get rid of the effervescence is to let the wine breathe. Alternatively
yo can se a bottle vac m device, after abo t five min tes the
effervescence will vanish.
Sediment- this is not normally a problem, however both red and
white wines can prod ce sediment after a n mber of months in a
bottle. The sediment consists of tartrate crystals and is totally
harmless. If anything the b ilding of sediment can be considered a
good sign beca se it means that the wine was not s bjected to m ch
(if any) filtering, meaning that the flavo rs and aromas sho ld be
preserved better.
A good way to get aro nd sediment (if it is a problem) is to stand the
bottle pright, the day before opening, so that the sediment can settle
to the bottom of the bottle.
Yo can also decant yo r wine; decanting will “open p” the flavo r of
both yo ng and old wines, b t yo nger wines in partic lar. To decant,
po r the wine slowly and evenly into yo r decanter.
