During first use
IMPORTANT: When you use the wine cabinet for the first time
or restart the appliance after it has been turned off for a long
time, there could be a few degrees variance between the
temperature you select and the one indicated on the LED
display This is normal and it is due to the length of activation
time Once the wine cabinet has been running for a few hours
everything will be back to normal
oWhen you first switch on the app iance, the compressor wi run
continuous y unti the wine cabinet reaches a coo enough
temperature.
oDuring this period of time, you shou d try not to open the door
frequent y or p ace bott es inside of the app iance.
oIf the unit is switched off or unp ugged, you must a ow at east 5
minutes before restarting the app iance or reconnecting it to
your mains supp y.
Switching on the appliance and setting the temperature
oTo switch the app iance on, press the ON / OFF contro button
(1) for 5 seconds.
oThe temperature setting for the app iance is adjustab e within
the range of 5°C - 22°C / 40°F / 71°F.
oWhen you press the temperature p us (4) or minus (5) button
for the first time, the LED disp ay wi show the factory defau t
temperature setting of 12°C / 54°F.
oUse the temperature p us (4) and minus (5) buttons to set the
desired interna temperature.
oThe temperature wi increase by 1°C or 1°F if you touch the p us
button (4) once and wi decrease by the same amount if you
press the minus button (5) once.
oWhen you set a new temperature, the disp ay wi show the
previous temperature for 5 minutes, before showing the actua
temperature. During this time, the cabinet temperature wi
adjust according y.
oTo view the set temperature in the wine cabinet, press the p us
(4) or minus (5) button. The disp ay wi f ash the temperature
for 5 seconds.

14
oCoo air fa s and warmer air rises, so there wi be a s ight
temperature variation between the top of the cabinet and the
bottom of the cabinet.
IMPORTANT: When the temperature is changed, the
compressor works harder to reach the required temperature
During this time, the side panels of the wine cabinet can reach
up to 45°C however they will cool down when the set
temperature is reached
Changing between Fahrenheit and Celsius
oYou can se ect whether the temperature disp ay shows Ce sius or
Fahrenheit.
oTo a ter what the temperature disp ay is showing, press the p us
button (4) for 5 seconds.
oYou cannot change the disp ay if you are in the process of
adjusting the temperature of the wine cabinet.
Loading the wine cabinet
oIMPORTANT: Your appliance is ideally suited to store
0.75 litre Bordeaux style wine bottles. While the
cabinet can store larger bottles, you must ma e sure
that they do not prevent the door from shutting
properly.
oA ways check that you can c ose the door without it fou ing on
a wine bott e, before shutting it.
oWhen oading severa bott es of wine at once, it wi take
onger for the app iance to coo the individua bott es.
oAs many bott es may differ in size and dimensions, the actua
number of bott es you are ab e to store may vary. The
maximum storage number is based on standard 0.75 itre
Bordeaux sty e wine bott es.
oYou can p ace 7 standard size bott es in your app iance with 1
bott e on each she f.

15
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
Spark ing
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, such as Beaujo ais, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Franc
benefit from being served s ight y coo er than fu -bodied reds.
** Chardonnay is often served too co d. You shou d chi it at a warmer
temperature inside of your wine cabinet. Or eave it to warm s ight y
when you remove it from your wine cabinet.
oTemperature stabi ity is the most important factor when it comes
to storing wine.
oExposure to ight, vibrations or f uctuations in temperature and
humidity can a cause wine to spoi . When proper y stored,
wines not on y maintain their qua ity but many wi actua y
improve in aroma, f avour and comp exity as they mature.
oWines kept at a higher temperature wi age faster. Wine that is
exposed to temperatures that are greater than 21°C (70°F) wi
suffer from poorer f avour and aroma.
oIf wine is kept at too ow a temperature, this can resu t in the
deve opment of harmfu deposits. A humidity of 70% is idea for
keeping corks from shrinking.
oAfter a bott e of wine has been opened, the wine comes into
contact with air. So it is best to store the remainder of the bott e
upright, to minimize the surface area of the wine that is coming
into contact with the air.
oOnce opened, wine wi remain in a drinkab e condition for two
days for de icate whites or three days for rich reds, as ong as
the bott e as been resea ed. You shou d make sure that the sea
is firm by checking the stopper.

16
oSpecia stoppers that keep wine spark ing and Champagne
bubb ing for one or two days after opening, can be bought at
most good wine shops.
oWhen stored correct y, white wines can keep we for up to two
years. Fu bodied reds wi age we for ten years and dessert
wines wi age we for up to twenty years.
oWhen you buy a bott e of wine, you shou d transfer it to a
suitab e storage ocation immediate y (if you are not going to
store it in your wine cabinet).
oCheaper bott es of wine wi not age as we as more expensive
ones.
oTo make the most of the bouquet and taste of your wine, never
fi more than ha f a g ass at a time. It wi a so he p if the shape
of your wine g ass is appropriate for your wine. The size and
shape of your wine g ass’s bow wi determine the intensity and
comp exity of the bouquet. The stem shou d be ong enough to
a ow you to avoid hand contact with the bow of the g ass and
shou d be tu ip-shaped or tapered at the top.
Wine storage problems
Corking- a tiny percentage of bott ed wine (about 1%) wi suffer from
this. The cork reacts with the wine and gives it a musty, unp easant
taste. It is the most common wine storage prob em and is caused by
harm ess bacteria growing on the cork. As unfortunate as this is, there
is nothing to do but to discard a of the wine in the affected bott e.
This is not to be confused with sma fragments of cork f oating in the
wine itse f, which wi not impair the f avour.
Oxidisation- when wine has been opened and eft for onger than a
day; it tends to ose its aroma and co our, giving an overa f at taste.
The on y way to avoid this, it to either drink the wine on the same day
it was opened or to use a vacuum device specia y designed for
removing oxygen from opened wine bott es. If you use such a device,
the wine shou d sti be consumed short y afterwards.
Ullage- this is oss of wine from the bott e by evaporation or eakage.
Signs of u age inc ude wine seeping around the cork, a protruding cork
or a stained abe . It can happen if the bott e has been a owed to get
too warm. The wine may sti be drinkab e, if the eakage was recent;
however, you shou d be aware that if the wine coo s down again,
contraction can cause more air to be sucked into the bott e and resu t
in further deterioration.

17
Slight effervescence in still wine- this isn’t rea y a prob em with
the way the wine has been stored, but as a resu t of incomp ete
ma o actic fermentation before the wine was bott ed. A good way to
get rid of the effervescence is to et the wine breathe. A ternative y
you can use a bott e vacuum device, after about five minutes the
effervescence wi vanish.
Sediment- this is not norma y a prob em, however both red and
white wines can produce sediment after a number of months in a
bott e. The sediment consists of tartrate crysta s and is tota y
harm ess. If anything the bui ding of sediment can be considered a
good sign because it means that the wine was not subjected to much
(if any) fi tering, meaning that the f avours and aromas shou d be
preserved better.
A good way to get around sediment (if it is a prob em) is to stand the
bott e upright, the day before opening, so that the sediment can sett e
to the bottom of the bott e.
You can a so decant your wine; decanting wi “open up” the f avour of
both young and o d wines, but younger wines in particu ar. To decant,
pour the wine s ow y and even y into your decanter.
