How to adjust the temperatu-
re for suit various needs
Wines compartment
Each model has been carefully tested before leaving the
factory and is adjusted so as to ensure high performance
and low consumption.
The ideal temperature for wine conservation does howev-
er depend on the types of wine you want to conserve, the
method of conservation (Wine Cellar for conservation and
consumption, or Cantina for the conservation and aging
of prized bottles).
It also varies according to personal taste.
Please refer to the guide on wine conservation included
further ahead in this manual.
As needed, you can reset the temperatures as follows:
Cantina Compartment:
from +4° C to +18° C (from 39.2° F to 64.4° F).
The default temperature is +12° C (53.6° F).
Wine Cellar compartment:
from +4° C to +18° C (from 39.2° F to 64.4° F).
The default temperature is +10° C (50° F).
TriMode compartment
The TriMode compartment is default set to freezer mode
but it can also be set to run as a refrigerator or cooler com-
partment.
Instructions for conversion are provided in the paragraph
on special functions and settings.
As needed, you can reset the temperatures as follows:
Freezer compartment: from -15° C to -22° C (from 5° F to
-7.6° F).

As is known, wine can be stored for long periods of time if
this is done under the following conditions:
Suitable temperature without appreciable variations
over time
Controlled level of humidity
Protection from light
Absence of noise and vibrations
Absence of odours
Bottle kept horizontal.
All of these conditions are fully met in the Fhiaba Wine Cel-
lar.
General directions
Conservation temperature
The space offered by the Wine Cellar and Cantina com-
partments, which can be expanded as necessary by using
the TriMode compartment as a wine cellar, allows conser-
vation of your best wines at three different temperatures.
The three compartments are initially set to the following tem-
peratures:
Cantina compartment
+12° C (53.6° F) - adjustable from +4° C to +18° C (from 39,2°
F to 64,4° F)
Wine Cellar compartment
+10° C (50° F) - adjustable from +4° C to +18° C (from 39,2° F
to 64,4° F)
TriMode drawer
-18° (0° F) - adjustable from -15° C to -22° C (from 5° F to -7.6°
F)
(freezer mode)
To transform the TriMode compartment into a wine cellar
space, you must access the Menu, set it as a refrigerator
compartment, and adjust it to a temperature between +4°
C and +8° C (from 39.2° F to 46.4° F).
All the temperatures can be modied according to the
characteristics of the wines and personal preferences.
However, you should attempt to keep the temperature as
constant as possible over time.
Rapid and large-scale temperature variations can in fact
cause dilation of the liquid and early aging of the wine.
You should also avoid very low temperatures (below 4° C -
39.2° F ) which may lead to the formation of deposits and
damage the aesthetic qualities of the wine.
All the compartments offer optimal conditions and take
into account all these needs. It should however be noted
that the Cantina compartment, in particular, is thermostat-
ically controlled in a very precise manner and ensures the
utmost care and attention over time of your most prized

Time of conservation
Consumption temperature
Improvement of wine over time and its duration usually de-
pends on the character of the variety and its type.
The following chart shows the best period of conservation
and aging for various types in ideal conservation condi-
tions offered by your appliance. However, you should al-
ways follow the instructions of the winemaker, especially
for ne wines.
TYPE OF WINE CONSERVATION TEMPERATURE TIME OF CONSERVATION
New wines (Vin Nouveau) from 12° to 14° C 6 months
Sweet sparkling wines from 8° to 10° C 1 year
Rosé from 10° to 14° C 1 year
Semi-sparkling wines from 10° to 12° C 1 - 2 years
Normal white wines from 10° to 14° C 1 - 2 years
Light red wines from 12° to 14° C 2 years
Dry sparkling wines from 8° to 10° C 2 years
Classic sparkling wines from 8° to 10° C 3 - 4 years
Barrique and Vigorous white wines from 8° to 12° C 3 - 5 years
Normal red wines from 14° to 16° C 3 - 5 years
Barrique and Vigorous red wines from 14° to 18° C 7 - 10 years
Straw wines or Liquorous wines from 16° to 18° C 10 - 15 years
As a general rule, white wines should be served at a tem-
perature between 10 and 12° C (50 and 53,6°F) and red
wines between 12 and 14° C (53,6 and 57,2°F).
Some wines may however be best enjoyed at higher or
lower temperatures.
You should also keep in mind that, during the summer, wine
is generally enjoyed at lower temperatures than during the
winter.
You should also consider the following:
White wines
White wines are normally not served at high temperatures,
since they are generally more acidic that red wines and not
very tannic. Therefore they are more enjoyable at low tem-
peratures.
It is preferable to serve these wines between 10° C and 14° C
(50°F and 57,2°F). Young, fresh and aromatic wines can also
be served at 10° C (50°F), while less aromatic ones are served
at 12° C (53,6°F).
Temperatures between 12° C and 14° C (53,6°F and 57,2°F)
are for soft, mature white wines that have been aged for
some years in the bottle.
Higher temperatures would favour the exaltation of the sweet
character of the wine, at the expense of the acidity and a-
vour, which are considered pleasant and desirable charac-
teristics of this type of wine.
Rosé
Rosé wine is served at the same temperature as white
wines. It should be noted that these wines may include
a certain amount of tannin and may therefore be pref-
Conservation of wines
erable at higher temperatures. Therefore, they are served
between 10° C and 12° C (50°F and 53,6°F), if young and
fresh, and between 12° C and 14° C (53,6°F and 57,2°F) if
robust and mature.
New wines (Vin Nouveau)
Due to the special processing they undergo, new vintage
wines contain a low tannin content and are therefore
more enjoyable if served between 12° C and 14° C (53,6
and 57,2°F).
Red wines
Since they contain more tannin and are less acidic, red
wines are normally served at higher temperatures.
Younger wines with less tannin are normally served be-
tween 14° C and 16° C (57,2 and 60,8°F), while more full-
bodied ones that are more tannic may be served at up to
18° C (64,4°F). Some wines that have aged for years in the
bottle, still full-bodies and tannic, may be served at 18°C
(64,4°F) or even 20° C (68°F).
Young red wines with little tannin and slightly structured
may be enjoyable at lower temperatures, between 12° C
and 14° C (53,6 and 57,2°F).
Sparkling wines
It is difcult to provide instructions to cover the wide variety
of sparkling wines in available.
As a general rule, sweeter and more aromatic sparkling
wines should be served at lower temperatures, down to 8°
C (46,4°F), whereas more tannic sparkling wines may be
served at higher temperatures, up to 14° C (57,2°F).
Dry sparkling wines are usually served between 8° C and

The sliding shelves are made of fine wood and contoured
so as to hold bottles of the most classical traditional shape
or of the most modern design.
Whether your collection holds fine bouteilles or petit
bouteilles, they will be right at home in the Fhiaba Wine
Cellar. A special accessory, available on request, will let
you place them in an inclined position, in order to display
the labels of your most prized items.
Also Magnum bouteilles can be stored, provided you re-
move the shelf just above the one that will hold them.
If the TriMode compartment is also used as a wine cellar,
the bottles may be kept in a horizontal position, as long as
they do not move or touch one another. A special acces-
sory for this purpose may be provided on request.

10° C (46,4 and 50°F).
“Classic” sparkling wines are normally served at these tem-
peratures, which may be as high as 12° C (53,6°F) for spar-
kling wines that have been aged for some time.
It is however advisable, especially for ner wines, to follow
the suggestions and recommendations of the winemaker
on the bottle.
Liqueur and straw wines
These types of wines can be served at temperatures be-
tween 16° C and 18° C (60,8 and 64,4°F), depending on
personal tastes, to attenuate the sweet taste of straw
wines, it can also be served at 10° C (50°F).
Recommendations for
preserving fresh food
Vegetables
Fruit
Packaged meat
Fresh meat, sh and poultry
Eggs
Milk, cream and fresh cheeses
Cheeses
Leftovers
Wash vegetables in cold water and dry well. Place vegetables
in vacuum packed containers, plastic containers or vegetable
bags in a Fresco Drawer.
Wash and dry fresh fruit. Pack very aromatic fruit in plastic
bags.
Fruit should be placed in the high humidity Fresco com-
partment.
Place in the refrigerator in its original packaging.
After opening, wrap the remaining food in plastic bags or
aluminum foil.
Remove the original packaging, then put in plastic bags or
containers and immediately place in the refrigerator.
Place the eggs in their package or container into the re-
frigerator without washing them. Check the “best before”
date and at any rate use the eggs within two weeks of
purchasing.
These should be kept in their original closed packaging.
Place these on refrigerator shelves and consume these
within ve days of purchase.
Place these in the Fresco drawer in their original packaging.
Once opened, close these hermetically in plastic bags or alu-
minum foil.
Let these cool off and cover hermetically with aluminum
foil or place
in sealed containers to prevent drying or the spread of
odors.

Frozen food
Ice cream
Place food in plastic bags for the freezer. These bags must be
hermetically sealed against air and humidity. Do not refreeze
defrosted meat.
The rmness of ice cream depends on the quantity of
cream that it contains. In general, high-quality ice cream
has large amounts of cream, therefore a very low temper-
ature in the freezer will be necessary to maintain its rm-
ness.
Consequently, ice cream without much rmness is not nec-
essarily an indication of a temperature problem as raised
above normal levels.
Recommendations for pre-
serving frozen food
After a prolonged interruption of electrical power, once the
electrical power is reactivated, an audible signal will in-
dicate if the temperature has raised above normal levels.
In addition to this the display will show for one minute the
highest temperature detected inside the compartments, to
allow the user to decide how to better use the food items.
After one minute the display will resume normal operation,
while the Alarm button will continue to blink.
Press the Alarm button to display the highest recorded
temperatures.

Care and Cleaning
Care and Cleaning
Condenser cleaning
Internal cleaning
Scrupulously follow the detailed directions that can be found
in the provided kit and never use abrasive or metallic products
which could scratch and damage the satin nishing on the ap-
pliance permanently.
Before performing any sort of cleaning, disconnect the appliance
from the electrical power supply.
Make sure you do not damage the refrigerant circuit in any
way.
Do not bring cold glass parts into contact with boiling water.
Do not wash any parts of the refrigerator in a dishwashing
machine since this could damage or irreparably deform the
parts.
Clean the internal and removable parts by washing them
with a solution of lukewarm water, a small amount of dish-
washing detergent.
Rinse and dry right away.
Do not use mechanical devices or other methods to speed up
defrosting.
The edges of the condenser are sharp, therefore use adequate
protection for the hands and arms when cleaning the con-
denser.
Do not use water on the electrical parts, lights and control
panel.
To clean the parts made of steel use a microber cloth and
the sponge provided in the kit with the appliance. Always
use the cloth and sponge in the direction of the steel’s satin
nish.
Every now and then, to polish the steel, wipe with a slightly
damp microber cloth.
Do not use the sponge on aluminium parts, such as the han-
dles and the proles of the glass shelves.
You should use special care to keep the ventilation open-
ings in the appliance or in the cabinet that houses it free of
obstructions.
A ventilation grille is located either at the top of the appli-
ance or at the bottom according to the model type.
To clean it use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attach-
ment at maximum power, sweeping it along the vent slits. In
case of a signicant dust build up, the ventilation grille can
be removed to allow a more accurate cleaning of the lter.
Every 6 months the display shows the message “Check
Cond”, clean the condenser and press for 5 seconds the En-
ter button to reset.
Operate as follows:
Switch off the appliance by pressing the Unit button on
the main control panel for approx 3 seconds.
Wait approx 30 minutes, until the nned condenser cools
down to room temperature.
On models with ventilation at the base remove the grille
at the bottom (magnetically attached) and take it off. On
models with ventilation lift the grille as shown in the picture.
Thoroughly clean the grille and the foam lter, by means of
a vacuum cleaner and the soft brush attachment.
Clean it thoroughly from any dust build up as shown in the
picture, taking care not to damage it.
Start up the appliance again, by pressing the Unit button
on the main
