Wine arrangement
Top Compartment: The temperature can
be adjusted between +6 and + 11°C. This
compartment is ideal for wines, especially
new reds and whites, to be consumed
immediately. Operation compartments with
differentiated temperatures.
Bottom Compartment: The temperature
can be adjusted between + 11 and + 18°C.
This compartment is ideal for storing and
refining red or white wines for long periods.
• The temperatures of this compartment
are suitable for storing aged and full-
bodied wines.
• The bottles should be placed down in
such a way that the corks do not dry.
• The wine should be kept in the dark. The
door is in anti-UV darkened double glass
to protect the wine from the light in case
the refrigerator is located in a well-lit
place.
• The appliance light should not be
switched on too often or for too long.
Wine keeps better in the dark.
• The bottles should be handled with care,
to avoid agitating the wine.
Follow the recommendations
and advice received at the time
of purchase or given in the
technical documentation
regarding the quality, duration
and optimum storage
temperature of the wine.
19

Storage advice
The storage time for wine depends on
ageing, the type of grapes, alcoholic
content and level of fructose and tannin
contained in it.At the time of purchase,
check if the wine is already aged or if it will
improve over time.
Recommended storage temperatures:
• For champagne and sparkling wines,
between 6 and 8°C
• For white wines, between 10 and 12°C
• For rose’ and light red wines, between
12 and 16°C
• Aged red wines, 14 -16°C
When placing various bottles on
top of each other, make sure
they do not touch the
refrigerator cooling plate.
Wine Cellar shelves
Remove the shelves for cleaning.
Wine Cellar Bottle Holder
The maximum possible weight on the bottle
shelves is 30 kg.
Remove the shelf and insert it between the
two guides.
The bottom compartment is fitted
with a basket useful for placing
upright and sloping bottles.
Using the Humidifier
The right humidity is vitally important for the
proper storage of wine.
Your Wine Cellar is fitted with a special
humidifying device that increases the
humidity inside the appliance.
1. Spread out the lava stones provided
along the small tray as shown in the
picture.
20

2. Fill the tray with water up to the half of
its capacity.
In normal operation, the lava stones are
regularly humidified by the water,
periodically check at water present inside
the tray and refill it when needed.
Note that if the humidity in the
area in which your appliance is
installed is particularly high, the
interior of your Wine Cellar will
also be relatively more humid.
This may result in bottles misting
up when the door is opened or
labels peeling off. In this case
reduce the quantity of water in
the tray accordingly.
Air circulation
The refrigerator compartment has a special
AIRLIGHT fan which is automatically
activated in function of the appliance
thermostat setting and ambient conditions.
CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING! Refer to Safety
chapters.
General warnings
CAUTION! Unplug the
appliance before carrying out
any maintenance operation.
This appliance contains
hydrocarbons in its cooling unit;
maintenance and recharging
must therefore only be carried
out by authorized technicians.

the appliance are not suitable for
washing in a dishwasher.
Periodic cleaning
CAUTION! Do not pull, move or
damage any pipes and/or

lukewarm water and some neutral soap.
2. Regularly check the door seals and
wipe clean to ensure they are clean and
free from debris.
3. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
4. If accessible, clean the condenser and
the compressor at the back of the
appliance with a brush.
This operation will improve the
performance of the appliance and save
electricity consumption.
Defrosting of the refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from the
evaporator of the refrigerator compartment
every time the motor compressor stops,
during normal use. The defrost water drains
out through a trough into a special
container at the back of the appliance, over
the motor compressor, where it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the
defrost water drain hole in the middle of the
refrigerator compartment channel to
prevent the water overflowing and dripping
onto the food inside.
