The Integrated Wine Cabinet has a recommended maximum storage capacity of 91
standard 750ml bottles. The loading arrangement outlined is recommended when using
the wine cabinet at full capacity. Racks may be removed to store larger sized bottles, for
example Magnums.
DOs
zBefore loading wine into the cabinet confirm
that all racks are secured and stable.
zStack wine bottles of same sizes to enable easy
access if required.
zOnly interlock wine bottles of the same size.
This ensures the first tier is stable to allow
stacking.
zFollow the recommended loading arrangement
outlined for each rack.
DON’Ts
zDo not load more than the recommended
number of wine bottles on each rack.
zDo not interlock wine bottles of different sizes
that do not fit well together on a rack.
zDo not stack Magnums or larger sized wine
bottles.
LOADING YOUR WINE BOTTLES
IMPORTANT!
zWhen stacking bottles, take extra care to
avoid breakages.
zA net or vented mat can be used between
bottles in a stack to minimise risk of
breakage. Alternatively, net sleeves can be
used to protect individual bottles.
zEnsure the protector sleeve or mat you use
allows sufficient air flow and is odour free.

WINE CARE
Having purchased our dual-zone Integrated Wine Cabinet, you can rest assured that
your wines are well cared for. Your Integrated Wine Cabinet model has been designed to
carefully consider both the maturation and ideal drinking temperature of all wine varieties.
Our Wine Modes have been created to offer guidance for the perfect storage conditions for
your wine, whilst allowing you adjustability to suit your personal needs.
Temperature
Temperature control is critical for the maturation of wines, as significant daily or weekly
temperature fluctuations can denature wines. If storage temperatures are excessively high
this can reduce the wines aromatic potential and can speed up maturation. This can cause
some wines to take on a ‘spoiled fruit’ flavouring. If storage temperatures are excessively
low, this can have the opposite effect and stunt a wine’s natural maturation process. This
can prevent a wine’s flavours from developing to their full potential.
Humidity
Optimum humidity levels are also important for the storage of cork enclosed wines,
especially for long term storage. Dry environments can lead to dried out corks encouraging
wine evaporation as well as oxygen permeation leading to oxidised wine. As for extremely
humid conditions, there is potential for mould growth on bottles and labels.
UV-Tempered Glass Door
Light is known to be damaging to wines, particularly UV light. Light can react with wine,
creating hydrogen sulphide compounds affecting the tannins and colour. Your Integrated
Wine Cabinet has been designed to eliminate this threat by incorporating a double
UV-tempered glass door, dark interiors and dimmed LED lighting.
Vibration
Your Integrated Wine Cabinet model has been designed to have minimal vibrations,
important for optimal wine care.
Ventilation
Wine should be stored in an odour-free environment. You Integrated Wine Cabinet model
comes with an activated carbon air filter to assist with removing taint and odour inside each
compartment.
Helpful tips:
zFollow our pre-set Wine Modes as a guideline for optimal storage and the perfect
drinking temperature.
zFor entertaining, choose from one of our four Light Modes. Light Modes will default to
Low after a certain duration to ensure the best wine care.
zIf storing wine for long durations we recommend turning the Light Mode to Off.
zStore bottles lying flat on their sides to keep the liquid up against the cork which should
keep the corks from drying out.
zAllow red wine to breathe. We suggest opening the bottle at least 1 hour before serving.
Alternatively, decant red wine into a decanter.

19
REPLACING CARBON FILTER
Activated carbon filters
Air quality is critical for preserving wine. Your product is
fitted with two activated carbon filters that help remove
stale, unwanted odours and replenishes with fresh air. The
filters are located internally at the bottom rear of each
compartment.
We recommend replacing the activated carbon filter every
6 months. A replacement indicator icon on the control panel
illuminates when the carbon filters needs to be replaced.
Carbon filter
To reset the filter indicator:

CLEANING CARE — EXTERIOR
Glass door
Use only mild liquid detergent dissolved in warm water and a soft cloth. Rinse with clean
water and dry with a clean, lint-free cloth.
Stainless steel door panel
Use only mild liquid detergent dissolved in warm water and a soft cloth. Rinse with clean
water and dry with a clean, lint-free cloth.
Toe kick grilles and filter
Your Integrated Wine Cabinet is fitted with a toe kick grille to protect the internal working
components. We recommend cleaning the grille.
zThe condenser coils of your Integrated Wine Cabinet require periodic cleaning by a
Fisher&Paykel trained service technician.
zTo maximize operating efficiency, keep ventilation openings clear of obstructions by
regularly vacuuming the flooring in front of your appliance.
zMore frequent cleaning may be necessary for dusty homes or those with pets sheddinghair.
Other exterior surfaces
zWe recommend to clean the magnetic door gasket every three months with a brush (eg
old toothbrush) and liquid dishwashing agent dissolved in warm water.
IMPORTANT!
zMany commercially available cleaning products contain solvents which may attack
plastic components of your Integrated Wine Cabinet and cause them to crack.
zAvoid using anti-bacterial cleaning products on the interior or exterior of the Wine
Cabinet, as they may cause rusting of metal components and cracking of plastic
components.
