Freezer mode
> Liquors, such as vodka, gin, tequila, schnapps,
limoncello and the glasses to serve them
> Rapid cooling of beverages, by activating the
beverage cooler function
> Storage of large amounts of ice.
Refrigerator mode
> As expansion of the Top Cellar or of the Lower
Cellar
> For refrigeration of beer and soft drinks
> For storage of cold dishes and snacks.
Fresh mode
> 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 oer you best conser-
vation of your food over time in complete safety.

9.1 General directions
As is known, wine can be stored for long periods
of time if this is done under the following condi-
tions:
> Suitable temperature without appreciable vari-
ations 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 Top
Cellar.
9.2 Conservation temperature
The space offered by the Top Cellar and Lower
Cellar compartments, which can be expanded as
necessary by using the Fresh Zone compartment
as a wine cellar, allows conservation of your best
wines at three different temperatures.
The three compartments are initially set to the
following temperatures:
> Lower Cellar compartment
+12° C (53 ° F) - adjustable from +4° C to +18° C
(from 39° F to 64° F)
> Top Cellar compartment
+10° C (50° F) - adjustable from +4° C to +18° C
(from 39° F to 64° F)
> Fresh Zone drawer
-18° (0° F) - adjustable from -13° C to -23° C
(from 9° F to -11° F) (freezer mode)
To transform the Fresh Zone compartment into
a Top 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 modified accord-
ing to the characteristics of the wines and per-
sonal 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 (be-
low 1° C - 34° 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 Lower Cellar compart-
ment, in particular, is thermostatically controlled
in a very precise manner and ensures the utmost
care and attention over time of your most prized
bottles. When the Lower Cellar compartment is
set below +10° C (50° F) the Top Cellar must not
be set beyond +12° C (53° F).

9.3 Time of conservation
Improvement of wine over time and its duration usually depends 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 con-
servation conditions offered by your appliance.
However, you should always follow the instructions of the winemaker, especially for fine 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
9.4 Consumption temperature
As a general rule, white wines should be served
at a temperature 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 tem-
peratures than during the winter.
You should also consider the following:
White wines
White wines are normally not served at high tem-
peratures, since they are generally more acidic
that red wines and not very tannic. Therefore they
are more enjoyable at low temperatures.
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 flavour, which are considered
pleasant and desirable characteristics 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 preferable 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 acid-
ic, red wines are normally served at higher tem-
peratures.
Younger wines with less tannin are normally
served between 14° C and 16° C (57,2 and 60,8°F),
while more full-bodied ones that are more tan-
nic 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 tempera-
tures, between 12° C and 14° C (53,6 and 57,2°F).
Sparkling wines
It is difficult 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 tem-
peratures, 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 10° C (46,4 and 50°F).
“Classic” sparkling wines are normally served
at these temperatures, which may be as high as
12° C (53,6°F) for sparkling wines that have been
aged for some time.
It is however advisable, especially for finer 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 tempera-
tures between 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).
9.5 Position of bottles
The sliding shelves are made of fine wood and
contoured so as to hold bottles of the most clas-
sical 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
Top Cellar. A special accessory, available on re-
quest, will let you place them in an inclined posi-
tion, in order to display the labels of your most
prized items.
Also Magnum bouteilles can be stored, provided
you remove the shelf just above the one that will
hold them.
Warning
After a prolonged interruption of electri-
cal power, once the electrical power is re-
activated, an audible signal will indicate if
the temperature has raised above normal
levels. In addition to this the display will
show for one minute the highest temper-
ature 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.

10. CARE AND CLEANING
10.1 Care and Cleaning
To clean the parts made of steel use a microfib-
er 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 finish.
Every now and then, to polish the steel, wipe
with a slightly damp microfiber cloth.
Do not use the sponge on aluminium parts, such
as the handles and the profiles of the glass
shelves.
You should use special care to keep the ventila-
tion openings in the appliance or in the cabinet
that houses it free of obstructions.
Scrupulously follow the detailed direc-
tions that can be found in the provided kit
and never use abrasive or metallic prod-
ucts which could scratch and damage the
satin finishing on the appliance perma-
nently.
Before performing any sort of cleaning,
disconnect the appliance from the electri-
cal power supply.
Make sure you do not damage the refrig-
erant circuit in any way.
Warning
The use of chlorine-based detergents or
similar that contains it should be avoided
(bleach, hypochlorite, etc).
10.2 Condenser cleaning
A ventilation grille is located either at the top of
the appliance or at the bottom according to the
model type.
To clean it use a vacuum cleaner with a soft
brush attachment at maximum power, sweep-
ing it along the vent slits. In case of a significant
dust build up, the ventilation grille can be re-
moved to allow a more accurate cleaning of the
filter.
Every 6 months the display shows the message
“Check Cond”, clean the condenser and press for
5 seconds the Enter 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 finned con-
denser 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 fil-
ter, 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
Warning
The edges of the condenser are sharp,
therefore use adequate protection for the
hands and arms when cleaning the con-
denser.
10.3 Internal cleaning
Clean the internal and removable parts by wash-
ing them with a solution of lukewarm water, a
small amount of dishwashing detergent.
Rinse and dry right away.
Do not use mechanical devices or other methods
to speed up defrosting.
Warning
Do not use water on the electrical parts,
lights and control panel.
Warning
The use of chlorine-based detergents or
similar that contains it should be avoided
(bleach, hypochlorite, etc).
