keep the precautions of these user's instructions as the
manufacturer is not responsible for damages caused by
omission.
This appliance is intended exclusively for domestic use and is
intended for the storage of special drink products at a storage

temperature higher than that of a storage compartment for fresh
products. Under no circumstances is it intended to keep food
products fresh.
Make sure that your electrical installation's voltage corresponds
to that on the appliance’s nameplate; the appliance must be
connected to an approved, earthed system. Incorrect repairs or
connections can cause safety hazards. Have your electrical
installation checked by a professional, if you are in any doubt.
This unit must be correctly connected to an earthed socket for
your protection. Do not cut off or remove the earth wire on the
mains cable supplied.
For safety reasons, do not use an electrical extension cable.
If your appliance is damaged (e.g. a major impact) or suffers
harm (power surge due to lightning, flood, fire), it may be
dangerous to use. Disconnect the mains plug and have the
appliance checked by an approved professional repairer.
To prevent any danger, do not replace a damaged mains cable
yourself. Contact your retailer, an approved service center or
professional repairer.
This appliance must be positioned such that the mains socket is
accessible. Do not move the appliance once it is full: you might
distort its body beyond repair. The electrical parts must not be
directly accessible.
 Keep children away from the appliance.
 Do not use this appliance outdoors.
In the event that liquid is accidentally spilled (broken bottle,

etc.) on electrical components (motor, etc.), disconnect the
mains plug immediately.
To prevent any risk of fire, electrocution or injury, do not
immerse the mains cable, plug or the appliance itself in water or
any other liquid. Do not handle the appliance with wet hands.
Keep the appliance away from any source of heat and out of

contact with sharp edges or hot surfaces.
Do not pull on the mains cable - take hold of the plug to
disconnect theappliance.
Ensure that the area where your appliance is positioned can
support its weight when loaded (a 75 cl bottle weighs
approximately 1.3 kg). Your cellar must be placed on a flat
surface. If you have to position it on a rug or carpet, place a
support underneath.
To prevent damaging the door gasket, make sure the door is
fully open when pulling shelves out of the rail compartment.
Safety of children and other vulnerable persons
 This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years
and above, and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the
hazards involved.
 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 away from children as there is risk of
suffocation.
• Risk of child entrapment. Child entrapment and suffocation
are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
appliances are still dangerous, even if they will “just sit in the
garage a few days”.
 If you are discarding the appliance, pull the plug out of the
socket, cut the connection cable (as close to the appliance as
you can) and remove the door to prevent children playing

5. 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 thewine.
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.
The humidification system
This appliance is fitted with a tray that maintains the correct level of humidity. If the humidity is too low,
top up the level in the reservoir to three quarters of its capacity. Check the level from time to time and
add water if necessary. Ensure that the tray always contains water.
Designed by specialists for oenophiles, Climadiff brand has taken into account the sensitivity of corks
to too low a level of ambient humidity. This is why the tray should be placed on the shelf below the fan
situated in the bottom, to provide minimum humidity. Be sure to check the water level, if you are
storing wines over a long period and you are not using the appliance solely for bringing wines to
service temperature (with a quick rotation of bottles).
The anti-UV system
Light accelerates the ageing of wine. In our solid door cellars, your wines are naturally protected, on
condition, of course, that the door is not opened too often. This glass-door model has been specially
treated and filters out harmful ultraviolet rays, thus ensuring your wines are perfectly shielded.
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

Front
heat produced by the compressor then evaporates the condensates collected in the tray.
The winter system
The winter kit is a frost protection system which enables the cellar to operate in an environment where
the temperature is between 0 and 32°C. A sensor located outside the appliance triggers a low power
electrical element when the ambient temperature in the room falls to around 8°C in case. This is a low
power element to avoid sudden rises in the temperature of the wine and so avoid thermal shocks that
are damaging to the preservation of the wine. The kit is intended to raise the cellar’s internal
temperature even before there is a thermal exchange with the bottles.
Shelves
 To prevent damage to the door seal, ensure that the door is fully open before pulling out the
shelves to add or remove bottles.
 For easier access to the contents of the shelves, slide the shelf out approximately one third of the
way. The shelves are, however, fitted with a stop to prevent the bottles fallingout.
 To remove or reposition the shelves, incline the shelf as indicated in the diagram, then push or pull
as required.
Foot sliders
Two foot sliders are provided with your appliance, allowing you to move it easily when your feet are
adjusted to maximum height. The foot sliders have to be installed in parallel under the feet in
accordance with the location for the front and for the back.
Back
Enhanced safety
Since this range of appliances is intended for storing items of value, we have been careful to select
quality components and to design suitable manufacturing techniques to ensure optimum safety in
operation.

Installing the handle
Your appliance has a stainless-steel handle. To fit it, simply screw it onto the door with the screws
supplied as per the diagram below, having first removed the seal.
6. 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 liters).
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.
Types of bottle:
We see here 4 kinds of 75 cl wine bottles: Burgundy and Bordeaux wine bottles of different
dimensions. There are many others of all shapes and sizes. You will note the storage differences
depending on bottle heights, diameters and alternating position method.
For example, if a wine cellar is loaded only with Burgundy wine bottles, there will be approximately
30% fewer bottles than the initial quantity calculated for Bordeaux bottles.

7. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning your appliance (something that should 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, side and top) with warm mixed with a gentle cleaning product. Rinse with
clean water and allow drying before reconnecting. Do not use solvents or abrasives.
When the appliance is switched on for the first time, there may be a residual odor. In that case, runt
the appliance empty for a few hours at the coldest possible temperature. The cold will kill any odors.
In case 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 cabinet. 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 temperaturerequires).
 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 theystabilize.

Vacation time
• Short vacations: leave the wine cooler operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
• Long vacations: if the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all items and turn off
the appliance. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the
door open slightly: blocking it open ifnecessary.
Moving your wine cooler
• Remove all items.
• Securely tape down all loose items (shelves) inside your appliance.
• Turn the adjustable leg up to the base to avoiddamage.
• Tape the door shut.
• Be sure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation. Also protect
outside of appliance with a blanket, or similaritem.
8. 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:
• The appliance is properly pluggedin
• There is not a power cut inprogress
• The breakdown is not one of those described in the table at the end of this manual
IMPORTANT: if the power cable supplied is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, a
