6. EQUIPMENT
The climate control system
According to advice from specialists, the ideal temperature for storing wine is around 12°C,
within a bracket of 10 to 14°C. Do not confuse this with service temperature, which varies
between 5 and 18°C, depending on the specific nature of the wine.
It is especially important to avoid sudden changes in temperature. Designed by specialists for
oenophiles, this appliance, unlike a simple refrigerator, takes into account the sensitivity of grand
cru wines to sudden variations in temperature by ensuring the close control of a constant
averagetemperature.
The anti-vibration system
The refrigeration compressor is equipped with special dampers (silent-blocks) and the inner
space is insulated from the body by a thick layer of polyurethane foam. These characteristics
prevent the transmission of vibration to your wines.
Defrosting
Your appliance is equipped with an automatic defrost cycle. When a cooling cycle finishes, the
appliance’s refrigerated surfaces are defrosted automatically. The defrost water is channeled
into a condensates evaporation tray which is located in the back of the appliance near the
compressor. The heat produced by the compressor then evaporates the condensates collected
in the tray.
Shelves
▪ To prevent damage to the door seal, ensure that the door is fully open before pulling out
the shelves to add or remove bottles.
▪ For easier access to the contents of the shelves, slide the shelf out approximately one
third of the way. The shelves are, however, fitted with a stop to prevent the bottles falling
out.
▪ To remove or reposition the shelves, incline the shelf as indicated in the diagram, then
push or pull as required.

7. LOADING
The maximum recommended loading quantities for bottles are given as guidelines and are
indicative only; they provide a quick estimate of the size of the appliance (similar to the capacity
of a refrigerator expressed in liters).
They correspond to tests conducted with a standard bottle: the standard “75 cl light Bordeaux”
bottle -standards apply the geographical origin of each bottle shape (Bordeaux, Burgundy,
Provence, etc.) and a type (traditional, heavy, light, flute, etc.), each with its own diameter and
height.
In reality and in extreme cases, you could store more bottles by stacking the same type of bottle
without using shelves, but a varied cellar comprises a wide variety of bottles and the practical
aspect of everyday cellar management limits its capacity. You will therefore probably load the
appliance a little less than the recommendedmaximum.
Types of bottle:
We see here 4 kinds of 75 cl wine bottles: Burgundy and Bordeaux wine bottles of different
dimensions. There are many others of all shapes and sizes. You will note the storage differences
depending on bottle heights, diameters and alternating positionmethod.
For example, if a wine cellar is loaded only with Burgundy wine bottles, there will be approximately
30% fewer bottles than the initial quantity calculated for Bordeauxbottles.

Criss-crossing types
Top-to-bottom neck-to-neck:
Note the difference in depth!
Top-to-bottom neck between bottle bodies:
Increased loading.
Examples of serving temperatures
Opinions vary, and the ambient temperature too, but many people agree on the following:
Prestigious Bordeaux wines – Reds 16 – 17°C
Prestigious Burgundy wines – Reds 15 – 16°C
Prestigious dry white vintages 14 – 16°C
Light, young, fruity reds 11 – 12°C
Provence rosés, primeur wines 10 – 12°C
Dry whites and vin de pays reds 10 – 12°C
Vin de pays whites 8 – 10°C
Champagnes 7 – 8°C
Sweet wines 6°C
8. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning your appliance (something that should be done regularly), disconnect it by
removing the plug or by pulling the fuse on the circuit.
Before using your appliance for the first time and regularly after that, we recommend that you
clean the inside and outside (front, side and top) with warm mixed with a gentle cleaning
product. Rinse with clean water and allow drying before reconnecting. Do not use solvents or
abrasives.
When the appliance is switched on for the first time, there may be a residual odor. In that case,
runt the appliance empty for a few hours at the coldest possible temperature. The cold will kill
any odors.
In case of a power cut
Most power cuts are resolved within a short time. A power cut of 1 or 2 hours will not affect the
temperature in your cabinet. To protect your wines during a power cut, avoid opening the door
as much as possible. During very long power cuts, take the necessary measures to protect your
wine.

▪ If the appliance is disconnected or if there is a power cut, you must wait three to five
minutes before re- starting. If you try to re-start before this time, the compressor will only
re-start after 3 to 5 minutes (if the temperaturerequires).
▪ When switching on for the first time or following a prolonged shutdown, it is possible that
when re-starting, the temperatures selected and those displayed are not the same. This is
normal. It will take a few hours before they stabilize.
Vacation time
▪ Short vacations: leave the wine cooler operating during vacations of less than three
weeks.
▪ Long vacations: if the appliance will not be usedfor several months, remove all items and
turn off the appliance. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold
growth, leave the door open slightly: blocking it open if necessary.
Moving your wine cooler
▪ Remove all items.
▪ Securely tape down all loose items (shelves) inside yourappliance.
▪ Turn the adjustable leg up to the base to avoid damage.
▪ Tape the door shut.
▪ Be sure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation. Also
protect outside of appliance with a blanket, or similaritem.
9. IN THE EVENT OF ABREAKDOWN
Despite the care we take during production, a breakdown can never be totally ruled out. Before
contacting your retailer’s after-sales department, please check that:
▪ The appliance is properly plugged in
▪ There is not a power cut in progress
▪ The breakdown is not one of those described in the table at the end of thismanual
IMPORTANT: if the power cable supplied is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, a service centre approved by the brand or the retailer. In all events, it must be
replaced by qualified personnel in order to avoid any risk of injury.
IF THESE CHECKS REVEAL NOTHING, THEN CONTACT YOUR RETAILER’S AFTER-SALES
DEPARTMENT.
