LAYOUT AND STORAGE
Your wine fridge is designed to store a
maximum number of bottles securely.
We recommend that you observe the
tips below to optimize loading:
• Remove tape from shelves once unit
is stable and ready for storage.
• Disperse the bottles evenly to avoid
concentrating weight in one place.
Bottles must not touch either the back of
the cabinet or the step at the bottom.
• While your wine fridge is designed to hold
large format bottles such as Pinot Noir and
Champagne, these larger bottles reduce
the number of bottles you can fit on 1 shelf.
• Make sure that the bottles are not
all grouped together either at the
top or bottom of the wine fridge.
• Bottles dispersed evenly
throughout the wine fridge will
contribute to optimal cooling.
• Only pull out one rolling shelf at a time.
Never attempt to pull more than one.
• Maximum weight capacity per
shelf is 25 kilograms.
• Each rolling shelf is designed to
comfortably hold one row of 12 bottles.
LOCK & UNLOCK THE DOOR
• A key should be attached inside
the packing of this Manual.
• Insert the key into the lock and turn
it counter-clockwise to unlock the
door. To lock it, please turn clockwise.
Please save the key well.
WORKING CLIMATE
• The appliance is designed for operating
under T climate. It is recommended
to maintain the ambient temperature
below 35°C which helps the appliance
working with low power consumption.
• If the ambient temperature is above or
below the designed climate range, the
performance of the unit may be affected.
• Note: During periods of high humidity,
some condensation may appear on
outside surfaces of cooling appliances.
This condensation will disappear when
humidity levels drop. For prevention, it
is advisable to install the appliance with
sufficient ventilation in a dry and/or an
air-conditioned room. Please ensure that
doors are closing and sealing properly.

DIFFERENT SHAPES AND SIZES
This brochure makes reference to the
‘standard Bordeaux style bottle’ when
specifying capacity. However, wine
producers use a huge range of different
bottle shapes and sizes. Bottle shape variety
should be considered when selecting the
appropriate Grand Cru cabinet in which
to house your precious collection, since
shelf height and adjustability varies across
the product range. Please also be aware
that some bottles will not fi t opposite
each other on the same shelf and this
may affect capacity. You may need to lay
the bottles opposite more suitably shaped
bottles. Ideally, bottles should lie with
their necks comfortably interlocking.
STACKING FOR AGEING
When fi lling your cabinet, we suggest
stacking the bottles you wish to cellar
and mature at the back of the shelves,
and the wines you wish to consume
in the shortterm at the front.
STACKING FOR ACCESSIBILITY
When stacking bottles, it is practical to
keep bottles from the same case together.
See diagrams below, in which bottles
from the same case are represented by
the same colours. Vertically stacking
same-case bottles enables safe and
easy access to all your different wines.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT WINE FRIDGE
To keep my wines ready to serve at
the perfect drinking temperatures?
Choose any Dual-Zone Grand Cru wine
fridge, and keep in mind that most whites
are generally best served at 6-8 deg C, and
most reds at 16-18 deg C. With a Dual-
Zone cabinet, you can fi ne-tune the serving
temperatures of different styles of wine: You
can set the temperature to suit your needs.
To store my wines in the ideal cellaring
conditions so they can mature?
Choose any Grand Cru Wine fridge, and
make sure you set it at 12-14 deg C as this
is the proper temperature for cellaring and
medium/long term storage for all wines:
reds, whites, roses and champagne.
To cellar only white wines
or only red wines?
All wines cellar at the same temperature
(12-14 deg C), so any Single-Zone fridge
set between 12-14 deg C is ideal for white
wine and/or red wine storage. When set
within this temperature range, Single-
Zone fridges will also keep humidity
levels above 55% (which is important to
maintain the integrity of the cork). Having
said that, any dual zone can also be kept
at the same temperature and humidity
levels throughout the whole unit.
To cellar both red and white wines?
All wines — Whites, Reds, Champagnes
— cellar at the same temperature (12-
14 deg C), so any Grand Cru fridge set
between 12-14 deg C is ideal for white
wine and/or red wine storage. Set within
this temperature range, Grand Cru
wine fridges will also keep humidity
levels above 55% (which is important
to maintain the integrity of the cork).
My wine is purely for investment:
which wine fridge will suit me best?
For (investment) wine to appreciate in value,
the discerning purchaser will want a wine
fridge that is designed for cellaring at the
perfect temperature so any of the Grand Cru
units will suit that purpose – it just becomes
more of a question of the size of unit needed.

WINE TEMPERATURE
At what temperature should I
be cellaring my wines?
The recommended cellaring temperature
is between 12 and 14 degrees Celsius.
Whichever temperature you choose,
the key is to remember that the
temperature must be constant.
What should the humidity levels
be in my wine cabinet?
The humidity in a wine cabinet should
be over 55% so that corks don’t dry out
and shrink: humidity levels below 55%
can lead to your wines spoiling because
of oxidation. All Grand Cru wine fridges
are designed to maintain humidity levels
above 55% (when set at 12-14 deg C).
Do I need humidity control
when cellaring my wines?
YES, humidity is essential to ensure that
the corks do not dry out. If that happens,
they shrink and air can get into the wine.
If air gets into the wine it will cause
oxidation, generating an odorous smell.
How long can I keep my wines in
a Dual -Zone wine fridge?
As long as the temperature is correct,
there is no limit to how long your
wine can be stored in there.
Can I use my wine fridge for beer and food?
No, wine fridges are not normal fridges.
The temperature does not go low enough
to keep food fresh and are not cold enough
for the serving of beer. The Grand Cru
GC46BC Beverage Centre is designed
for beers (or white wines at drinking
temperature), as they can cool beverages
down to 2 deg C, and have metallic racks
on which to stand beer bottles up. However,
they are not suitable for food storage.
I have a Dual-Zone wine cabinet. Can I
use one compartment for the serving
of my white wines and the bottom
compartment for cellaring my wines?
YES. Just set the top compartment
temperature to between 6*-8* and the bottom
section to a temperature range of 12*-14*.
TECHNICAL & INSTALLATION
What is the difference between Dual-Zone
cabinets and Single-Zone wine cabinets?
Dual -Zone wine fridges are designed for
keeping and serving red and white wines
at the perfect drinking temperatures.
Single-Zone wine cabinets are designed for
cellaring all wines (reds, whites or sparkling)
at the proper temperature (12-14 deg C).
Does my cabinet require ventilation
and can it be built-in under bench?
Some of the Grand Cru range are not
suitable for built –in installation, so
please consider this before purchasing.
The following Grand Cru wine fridges
are suitable for built in installation:
GC46, GC100, GC166, GC183 & GC194.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
My unit is making a lot of noise
If your wine fridge sounds noisy, it may be:
1) due to incorrect stacking of bottles and/
or the fridge is not completely level, so
please empty the unit, check the levelling
and then reload, 2) because ventilation
requirements have not been considered,
and so the unit is over-heating —refer to the
manual or call Grand Cru for further help.
There is water coming out of
the back of my cabinet.
The door has been left open to some
degree. Please wipe out the unit
and ensure the door is shut.
GCRU4352-Owners Manual GC143 GC40.indd 18GCRU4352-Owners Manual GC143 GC40.indd 18 20/9/22 5:07 pm20/9/22 5:07 pm

19
There is water on the inside
back wall of my cabinet
This is a perfectly normal occurrence
and needed to maintain the correct
humidity in the wine fridge. Just keep
your bottles away from the wall so
you do not block the water fl ow, an
essential part of the cellaring climate.
My bottles are wet
If they are in contact with the back wall of the
cabinet, they will have some condensation
on them so please make sure you keep a
fi nger’s distance between the bottom of the
bottle and the wall when you load. If not,
please keep in mind that it is normal that
condensation appears on the bottles after
you open the door, and that high humidity is
essential in cellaring your wine properly.
There is a +/- 2 deg temperature
swing on the digital readout
Yes, this in normal. It is the variance in
the air temperature that triggers the
thermostat and the compressor. The small
temperature fl uctuations occur in the air
around the bottles, not in the wine itself.
There is condensation on the outer surface
of the glass door of my wine cabinet
This indicates excessive humidity
in the environment.
What happens if there is a power outage?
The units are very well insulated and can
maintain the temperature for hours before
there is any change in the temperature itself.

What happens if my home/
property is damaged?
While this scenario is extremely rare, it can
occur. If anything at your home/property is
damaged by the carrier, contact Customer
Support immediately! We will make the
initial arraignments with the carrier to
get compensation to you in a quick and
timely fashion. As always, notate the BOL
of what was damaged before you sign!
Note: Grand Cru cannot give direct
compensation for damages that occur
to your home/property before and/or
after the fact. These actions have to be
negotiated through you and the carrier,
but as our customer we will give you all
the necessary information and assistance
needed to make sure you have a timely
and satisfactory resolution to the matter.
I signed for my wine cellar as delivered for
in satisfactory condition, but I discovered
damage later on. What do I do?
If this occurs, please contact Customer
Support immediately! There is a window of
48 hours where you would still be entitled
to a replacement and/or compensation.
After the window lapses, we cannot provide
a replacement or compensation as the
wine cellar is offi cially signed off “AS IS”
I am receiving or I have received delivery
and certain services are not being rendered
or were not rendered. What do I do?
Contact Customer Support so we can look
into the matter directly with the carrier.
We may be able to have the services
rendered and/or provide compensation for
the inconvenience. Note: Make sure you are
informed of what services that are and are
not included in your delivery. Refer to this
information packet or you can discuss this
at the time of purchase with your Home Icon
Customer Representative before delivery.

Does the carrier install/assemble
any components (such as shelving)
at the time of delivery?
No. We cannot nor do we authorise the
carrier to install shelving or assemble any
part of the wine fridge. This is always the
responsibility of the client regardless of
what services are being rendered. If you
require a white glove unpacking service,
please contact Customer Support to fi nd
out more as this feature incurs a fee.
We hope that this has been informative
and insightful information that will
help you not only on your purchase,
but as well as the delivery process.
