1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
For your own safety and for the proper utilization of the
appliance, read this manual carefully, including the
warnings and recommendations, before installing the
appliance and using it for the first time. In order to avoid
damage to the appliance and/or personal injury, persons
using the appliance should be fully familiar with its
operation and safety functions. Keep these
recommendations close to the appliance, for future
reference, and ensure that the document is transferred
with the appliance, if it is sold or in the case of moving.
This will ensure optimum operation of the appliance.
Warnings
- To prevent damage on the door gasket, make sure the
door is fully opened when pulling shelves out of
compartment
- Don not move the appliance while loaded with wine
bottles as you may damage the appliance
- The appliance should be installed in a suitable place to
prevent touching compressor with the hand.
- If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a
qualified person to avoid a hazard.

Safety of children and other vulnerable persons
- This appliance may be used by children aged 8 years
and above, and by persons who are physically, sensorially
or mentally handicapped, or who have not learned to use
the appliance, providing they are supervised by a person
familiar with the appliance and who is aware of the risks
involved. Children should not be allowed to play with the
appliance. User cleaning and servicing operations should
not be carried out by children, unless they are more than
8 years old and are supervised.
- Keep all packaging out of the reach of children, as
there is a risk of suffocation.
- If you decide to scrap the appliance, disconnect it from
the wall socket, cut the connection cable (as close to the
appliance as possible) and remove the door, in order to
prevent children playing with it, with the resulting risk of
electric shock or being trapped inside.
- If an appliance with a magnetic door seal is being
replaced by another appliance with a latch on the door
or on the seal, ensure that the latch is disabled before
selling or scrapping the old appliance.

Installing your wine cooler:
•These wine coolers are designed for free-standing installation, good ventilation is required
around the appliance, in order to dissipate the heat properly and to guarantee efficient cooling at
lower consumption. Sufficient clearance must be created for this purpose:
-
Gap to the back of appliance about 5cm and the side walls each about 10cm.
-
Clearance to the front must be created so that the appliance door can open without being
impeded.
• Position it in a place with sufficient strength to support its weight when loaded. To ensure that it
is level, adjust the height of the feet underneath.
•To get the best from your appliance with the lowest energy consumption, do not place the
appliance close to a heat source (heater, cooker, etc.), do not expose it to direct sunlight, and do
not place it in room which is too cold.
•Connect the appliance to a single socket, Be careful to support it, so that your wine cooler is
perfectly leveled. This will prevent any movement due to instability, generating noise and
vibration, and will ensure that the door seals perfectly.

4. EQUIPMENT
The climate control system
According to advice from specialists, the ideal temperature for storing wine is around 12°C, within a
bracket of 10 to 14°C. Do not confuse this with service temperature, which varies between 5 and
18°C, depending on the specific nature of the wine.
It is especially important to avoid sudden changes in temperature. Designed by specialists for
oenophiles, this appliance, unlike a simple refrigerator, takes into account the sensitivity of grand
cru wines to sudden variations in temperature by ensuring the close control of a constant average
temperature.
The anti-vibration system:
The refrigeration compressor is equipped with special dampers (silent-blocks) and the inner space is
insulated from the body by a thick layer of polyurethane foam. These characteristics prevent the
transmission of vibration to your wines.
Defrosting:
Your appliance is equipped with an automatic defrost cycle. When a cooling cycle finishes, the
appliance’s refrigerated surfaces are defrosted automatically. The defrost water is channeled into a
condensates evaporation tray which is located in the back of the appliance near the compressor.
The heat produced by the compressor then evaporates the condensates collected in the tray.
5. LOADING
The maximum recommended loading quantities for bottles are given as guidelines and are
indicative only; they provide a quick estimate of the size of the appliance (similar to the capacity of
a refrigerator expressed in litres).
They correspond to tests conducted with a standard bottle: the standard “75 cl light Bordeaux”
bottle - standards apply the geographical origin of each bottle shape (Bordeaux, Burgundy,
Provence, etc.) and a type (traditional, heavy, light, flute, etc.), each with its own diameter and
height.
In reality and in extreme cases, you could store more bottles by stacking the same type of bottle
without using shelves, but a varied cellar comprises a wide variety of bottles and the practical
aspect of everyday cellar management limits its capacity. You will therefore probably load the
appliance a little less than the recommended maximum.
!

6. MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning your appliance (something to be done
regularly), disconnect it by removing the plug or by pulling
the fuse on the circuit.
Before using your appliance for the first time and regularly
after that, we recommend that you clean the inside and
outside (front, sides and top) with warm water mixed with a
gentle cleaning product. Rinse with clean water and allow
to dry before reconnecting. Do not use solvents or
abrasives.
Wash the plastic coating on the steel shelves with a mild
detergent solution and then dry with a soft cloth. Wooden
shelves require no particular maintenance.
When the appliance is switched on for the first time, there
may be a residual odour. In that case, run the appliance
empty for a few hours at the coldest possible temperature.
The cold will kills any odours.
7. STORING YOUR WINE COOLER
If you will not be using your appliance for short periods, leave the control panel with its usual
settings.
During an extended shutdown:
•Remove all bottles from the appliance
•Unplug the appliance
•Thoroughly clean the inside and outside of the appliance
•Leave the door open to prevent condensation, unpleasant odours and mould.
!

8. WHAT TO DO IN THE EVENT OF A POWER CUT
Most power cuts are resolved within a short time. A power cut of 1 or 2 hours will not affect the
temperature in your cellar. To protect your wines during a power cut, avoid opening the door as
much as possible. During very long power cuts, take the necessary measures to protect your wine.
-If the appliance is disconnected or if there is a power cut, you must wait three to five minutes
before re- starting. If you try to re-start before this time, the compressor will only re-start after 3 to 5
minutes (if the temperature requires).
-When switching on for the first time or following a prolonged shutdown, it is possible that when re-
starting, the temperatures selected and those displayed are not the same. This is normal. It will take
a few hours before they stabilise.
9. IF YOU NEED TO MOVE YOUR WINE COOLER
First, disconnect your appliance.
Remove all bottles and secure any loose parts.
To avoid damaging the levelling screws on the feet, screw them tightly into the base.
Move the appliance in an upright position (preferably) or note the direction in which the appliance
may be laid down by looking at its packaging.
10. IN THE EVENT OF A BREAKDOWN
Despite the care we take during production, a breakdown can never be totally ruled out. Before
contacting your retailer’s after-sales department, please check that:
1.the appliance is properly plugged in;
2.there is not a power cut in progress;
3.the breakdown is not one of those described in the table at the end of this manual.
IMPORTANT:
If the mains cable supplied is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, a centre
approved by the brand or by the retailer. In all cases, it must be replaced by qualified personnel, so
as to avoid any risk of injury.
IF THESE CHECKS REVEAL NOTHING, THEN CONTACT YOUR RETAILER’S AFTER-SALES
DEPARTMENT.
CAUTION!
Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance or repair work.
