acoustic signals by pressing the Alarm key ,
close the door and wait until the set temperature
is reached.
During the first start-up, you will not be able to
use the Fhiaba Access Menu to modify factory
settings until the default temperature has been
reached.
It is however possible to set the time and date
immediately; these parameters are required to
activate some of the special functions.
If only the Riserva or Cantina compartment is
turned off, the corresponding fan will continue
to run independently to prevent the formation of
unpleasant odours and mould.
When the appliance is connected to the electrical power supply but

Wines compartment
TriMode 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 however
depend on the types of wine you want to conserve, the method
of conservation (Cantina for conservation and consumption, or
Riserva 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:
Riserva Compartment:
from +8° C to +18° C (from 46.4° F to 53.6° F).
The default temperature is +12° C (53.6° F).
Cantina compartment:
from +4° C to +18° C (from 39.2° F to 53.6° F).
The default temperature is +10° C (50° F).
The TriMode compartment is default set to freezer mode but it can
also be set to run as a refrigerator or cooler compartment.
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).
The default temperature, which is recommended, is -18° (0° F)
Refrigerator compartment: from +2° C to +8° C (from 35.6° F to
46.4° F).
The default temperature, which is recommended, is +5° C (41° F).
Cooler compartment: from -2° C to +2° C (from 28.4° F to 35.6° F),
The default temperature, which is recommended, is 0° C (32° F).
The displayed temperature may vary slightly
with respect to the set temperature if the doors
are continuously opened or insertion of room
temperature food or large quantities of food.
It takes 6 to 12 hours to reach the selected
temperature.

Use of the TriMode compartment
The TriMode compartment, used in conjunction with the Cantina and Ris-
erva compartment, allows great flexibility in the use of the appliance.
Some possible uses:
Liquors, such as vodka, gin, tequila, schnapps, limoncello and the
glasses to serve them
Rapid cooling of beverages, by activating the bottle cooler function
Storage of large amounts of ice.
As expansion of the Cantina or of the Riserva
For refrigeration of beer and soft drinks
For storage of cold dishes and snacks.
For conservation of ham, salmon
gourmet preparations.
It comes without saying that, the compartment can be used in a
traditional manner. Suggestions and instructions are provided to offer
you best conservation of your food over time in complete safety.

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 Cellar.
The space offered by the Cantina and Riserva compartments, which
can be expanded as necessary by using the TriMode compartment as
a wine cellar, allows conservation at three different temperatures of
your best wines.
The three compartments are initially set to the following tempera-
tures:
Riserva compartment
+12° C (53.6° F) - adjustable from +8° C to +18° C (from 46.4° F to 53.6°
F)
Cantina compartment
+10° C (50° F) - adjustable from +4° C to +18° C (from 39.2° F to 53.6°
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 Fhiaba Access menu, set it as a refrigerator compart-
ment, and adjust it to a temperature between +4° C and +8° C (from
39.2° F to 46.4° F).
All of the temperatures can be modified according to the character-
istics of the wines and personal preferences. However, you should at-
tempt to keep the temperature as constant as possible over time.
Rapid and large-scale temperature variations can in fact cause dila-
tion 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 aes-
thetic qualities of the wine.
All of the compartments offer optimal conditions and take into ac-
count all of these needs. It should however be noted that the Riserva
compartment, in particular, is thermostatically controlled in a very pre-
cise manner and ensures the utmost care and attention over time of
your most prized bottles.
