8 - ALARMS
Your wine cabinet has several alarms
A signal warns you if:
the temperature inside the cabinet exceeds the set temperatures
the door has been left open or is badly closed
- the relative humidity level is too low ( 1-temperature and 2-temperature models set between 9 and 15°C / 48° and 59°F) the carbon filter needs changing
In this way your fine ‘crus’ are secure.
1- Temperature
If your cabinet’s temperature stays at + or - 4°C (7°F) in relation to the set temperature for more than 24 hours, a visual and sound alarm is triggered.
The icon flashes and a sound signal alerts you.
•The sound alarm cuts out if one of the buttons is pressed or
*.
• However, the icon stays displayed until the temperature has returned within the limits of + or – 4°C (7°F).
The alarm can trigger in the following circumstances:
the door has been left open or is badly closed:
the open door alarm (see next chapter) will trigger,and if you do not close the door the temperature within the cabinet will exceed the limits and the
temperature alarm will also trigger.
Close the door and wait a few hours until the temperature inside the cabinet has stabilised, the icon will then disappear
the door seal is damaged:
the door sealing is degraded, and the temperatures may exceed the limits and trigger the alarm
Contact your dealer
you have loaded your cabinet with a large number of bottles:
it takes several hours for your cabinet to reach the right temperature, so the alarm may trigger
This could happen when first starting up the cabinet
This is not due to an operating fault.
Wait a few days for the cabinet interior temperature to stabilise
If however, after a few days, the alarm is still triggered, please contact your dealer
Apart from these three cases, if the alarm triggers it could be the result of an operating fault (see next page)
Contact your dealer
N.B. : Only prolonged exposure to temperatures outside the set range and temperature fluctuations can damage your fine ‘crus’
II- Open door
If the door of your cabinet remains open for more than 15 minutes, a visual and sound alarm will trigger.
The icon flashes and a sound signal alerts you.
•The sound alarm cuts out if one of the buttons is pressed, or
*
• However, the icon stays displayed until the door is closed
Close the door:the icon will disappear after one minute
III- Relative humidity level
(1-temperature models used between 9°C and
15°C / 48° & 59°F and 2-temperature ones)
If the relative humidity rate in your wine cabinet falls below 50% for more than 72
hours, a visual alarm is triggered
The icon is displayed flashing
•The icon remains on display until the level of humidity rises above 50%
To return to a level of humidity of over 50%, pour the equivalent of a glass
of water into the canal located at the bottom right of the cabinet (see
diagram opposite).You do not need to remove the bottles (the water filters
into the clay humidity cassette)
The hygrometry level rises to a suitable level, and after a few hours the icon
will go out.
N.B: Only prolonged exposure to humidity rates of under 50% may prove harmful to
your bottle corks.
* For the 2-temperature, 3-temperature and multi-temperature models the
buttons are located to the right of the casing.
