INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR BUILT IN WINE CELLARS
4.
1. Europace “Built in” wine cellars are front venting but are not designed to be fully
integrated behind a joinery door.
2. Please follow the installation diagram when installing built-in wine cellars. No less than
the minimum installation dimension, or it will affect the venting of cellar.
3. Europace “Built in” wine cellars draw air from right of ventilation frame and expel
through left of ventilation frame under the front door.
4. Europace “Built in” wine cellars have a power switch located on the control panel so
power point location is not critical.
5. The wine cellar requires a standard 240 volt/10 amp power point. (Or according to
different countries specifications).
6. The power cord is 2.0m in length and is fixed on the right side at the back when looking
from front of cabinet.
7. As with most appliances of today, the wine cellar has sensitive electronic components
which are susceptible to damage through lightning and electricity supply faults. It is
therefore advised to use a power surge protector to avoid problems of this nature.
8. Air vent on door must be provided for Europace built-in wine cellars when a wood door
installed.
In Hot climate zone, an air vent or grid, with a minimum ventilation size of 200mm x 40mm
MUST be cut out at the rear top of the back partitioning or at the top of either side of the
partitioning, allowing cool fresh air full access to flow into the 30mm gap located at the rear
of the cabinet.
This air vent or grid must not be opened on the same side as other appliances such as ovens
or an area that is sealed and without access to fresh cool air. Failing to comply with the
above specifications could result in WARRANTY void.

RADIATOR SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
TURNING ON YOUR WINE CELLAR
Plug in and switch on the cellar by pressing on the power button for a few seconds.
When you use the wine cellar for the first time (or restart the wine cellar after having it shut
off for a long time), there will be a few degrees variance between the temperature you have
selected and the one indicated on the LED readout. This is normal and it is due to the length
of the activation time. Once the wine cellar is running for a few hours everything will
stabilize.
Important: If the unit is unplugged, power is lost, or turned off, wait 3 to 5 minutes before
restarting the unit. The wine cellar will not start if you attempt to restart before this time
delay.
Operating Noises
To reach the desired temperature settings, Europace wine cellars, like all wine cellars
operating with compressors and fans, may produce the following types of noises. These
noises are normal and may occur as follows:
- Gurgling sound - caused by the refrigerant flowing through the appliance’s coils.
- Cracking/popping sounds - resulting from the contraction and expansion of the refrigerant
gas to produce cold.
- Fan operating sound - to circulate the air within the wine cellar.
An individual’s perception of noise is directly linked to the environment in which the wine
cellar is located, as well the specific type of models. Europace wine cellars are in line with
international standards for such appliance. Europace will always do its utmost to satisfy its
customers but will not retake possession of the goods due to complaints based on normal
operating noise occurrences.

10.
LOADING YOUR WINE CELLAR
You may load your wine bottles in single or double rows while taking note of the following:
if you do not have enough bottles to fill your wine cellar, it is better to distribute the load
throughout the wine cellar so as to avoid “all on top” or “all below” type loads.
- Do remove or relocate adjustable wooden shelves to accommodate larger type of bottles or
increase the capacity of the cellar by stacking the bottles up when necessary. (See
removing shelves)
- Keep smalls gap between the walls and the bottles to allow air circulation. Like an
underground cellar air circulation is important to prevent mould and for a better
homogeneous temperature within the cellar.
- Do not over load your wine cellar to facilitate air circulation.
- Do not stack more than 1.5 rows of standard 0.75L bottles per shelves to facilitate air
circulation
- Avoid obstructing the internal fans (located inside on the back panel of the wine cellar).
- Do not slide the shelves outwards beyond the fixed position to prevent the bottles from
falling.
- Do not pull out more than one loaded shelf at a time as this may cause the wine cellar to
tilt forward.
- Do not cover the wooden shelves with alloy foil or other materials, as it will obstruct air
circulation.
- Do not move your wine cellar while it is loaded with wines. This might distort the body of
the wine cellar and cause back injury.

TYPES OF REGULATION
Please note that depending on the loading and settings chosen it takes about 24 hours for the
wine cellar to see the temperature stabilizing.
During this time LED seems to move erratically in particular,It is normal and this process
occurs whenever the setting is modified and/or whenever a large amount of bottles are added
to the cellar.
EWC 8041S , EWC 8871S , EWC 8121S , EWC 8171S:Both built-in and free-standing type,
sensor touch controller and LED displayer
Designed to store and mature all wines: red, white and sparkling. These wine cellars
reproduce the ideal conditions for wine storage, at a constant recommended temperature of
12ºC. They can also be set to provide ideal serving temperature for full enjoyment of the
wine’s qualities. Unless stated by the wine maker on the bottle.
TEMPERATURE SETTINGS
Important: The LED displays by default the actual internal air temperature.
The temperature settings are pre-set at the factory as follows. In the event of a power
interruption, all previous temperature settings are automatically erased and it will revert to
the preset temperature settings.
The electrical board of all models comes with memory function.
It is important to understand that there is a difference between the air temperature inside the
wine cellar and the actual temperature of the wine: You will need to wait approximately 12
hours before noticing the effects of temperature adjustment due to the critical mass within a
full wine cellar.
Once the temperature is set, it is strongly advised not to toy with it or adjust frequently. The
thermostat will maintain the temperature inside the wine cellar within a +/- 2.5ºC range. But
the thermal inertia of the wine and the glass is such that within this temperature range, the
actual temperature of the wine will only fluctuate 0.5ºC to 1ºC.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT TEMPERATURE
Y
our Europace wine cellar has been designed to deliver optimum conditions for storin
g
a
nd/or serving your wines.
F
ine wines require long and gentle developments and need specific conditions in which t
o
r
each their full potential.
A
ll wines mature at the same temperature, which is a constant temperature set between 12º
C
t
o 14ºC. Only the temperature of “dégustation” (wine appreciation) varies according to th
e
t
ype of wines (see “Wine Serving Temperature Chart” above). This being said and as it i
s
f
or natural cellars used by wine producers for long period of storage, it is not the exac
t
t
emperature that is important, but its consistency. In other words, as long as the temperatur
e
o
f your wine cellar is constant (between 12ºC to 14ºC) your wines will be stored in perfec
t
c
onditions.
N
ot all wines will improve over the years. Some should be consumed at an early stage (2 to
3
y
ears) while others have tremendous ageing capability (50 and over). All wines have a pea
k
i
n maturity. Do check with your wine merchant to get the relevant information.
D
EFROSTING/CONDENSATION/ HYGROMETRY/ VENTILATION
Y
our wine cellar is designed with “Auto-cycle” defrost system. During “Off-cycle” th
e
r
efrigerated surfaces of the wine cellar defrost automatically. Defrost water from the win
e
c
ellar storage compartment drains automatically and part of it goes into a drainage container
,
w
hich is located at the back of the wine cellar next to the compressor. The heat is transferre
d
f
rom the compressor and evaporates any condensation that has collected in the pan. Part o
f
t
he remaining water is collected within the wine cellar for humidity purposes.
T
his system enables the creation of the correct humidity level inside your wine cella
r
r
equired by the natural cork to maintain a long lasting seal.
N
otes: The water collected by condensation, is therefore recycled. Under extremely dr
y
e
nvironmental conditions, you may have to add some water into the water containe
r
p
rovided with your wine cellar.
T
he wine cellar is not totally sealed; fresh air admission is permitted through the drainpipe
.
A
ir is circulated through the cellar by means of a fan/fans and the hollow shelves.
Notes: During the refrigerating cycle, heat is given off and disperses through the external
surfaces of the wine cellar. Avoid touching the surfaces during those cycles.
Signature series are equipped with a triple glazed glass door that has a third internal acrylic
layer to minimize condensation on the glass door.

15.
ADJUSTABLE WOODEN SHELVES
Adjusting & removing the shelves
Note: please adjust and remove the shelf according to the actual purchase of wine.
For easy access to the storage content, you must pull the shelves approximately 1/3 of its
depth out of the rail compartment. These wine cabinets, however, are designed with a notch
on each side of the shelf tracks to prevent bottles from falling.
When removing any of these shelves out of the rail compartment, tilt the shelf as per diagram
and simply pull out, or push in the shelf until it sits on the support brackets securely.
