4. 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 20°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 average temperature.
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.
Replacing light:
This appliance consists of light-emitting diodes(LEDs). This type of diode cannot be changed by the
consumer. The lifetime of these LEDs is normally sufficient for no change to be made. If however, and
despite all the care taken during the manufacture of your wine cellar, the LEDs were defective, please
contact your after-sales service for any intervention.

5. 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 litres).
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
recommended maximum.
6. MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning your appliance (something to 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, sides and top) with warm water mixed with a gentle cleaning product. Rinse with
clean water and allow to dry before reconnecting. Do not use solvents or abrasives.
Wash the plastic coating on the steel shelves with a mild detergent solution and then dry with a soft cloth.
Wooden shelves require no particular maintenance.
When the appliance is switched on for the first time, there may be a residual odour. In that case, run the
appliance empty for a few hours at the coldest possible temperature. The cold will kills any odours.
7. STORING YOUR WINE COOLER
If you will not be using your appliance for short periods, leave the control panel with its usual settings.

During an extended shutdown:
•Remove all bottles from the appliance
•Unplug the appliance
•Thoroughly clean the inside and outside of the appliance
•Leave the door open to prevent condensation, unpleasant odours and mould.
8. WHAT TO DO IN THE EVENT 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 cellar. 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
temperature requires).
-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 stabilise.
9. IF YOU NEED TO MOVE YOUR WINE COOLER
First, disconnect your appliance.
Remove all bottles and secure any loose parts.
To avoid damaging the levelling screws on the feet, screw them tightly into the base.
Move the appliance in an upright position (preferably) or note the direction in which the appliance may be
laid down by looking at its packaging.

10. IN THE EVENT OF A BREAKDOWN
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:
1.the appliance is properly plugged in;
2.there is not a power cut in progress;
3.the breakdown is not one of those described in the table at the end of this manual.
IMPORTANT:
If the mains cable supplied is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, a centre approved by
the brand or by the retailer. In all cases, it must be replaced by qualified personnel, so as to avoid any risk
of injury.
IF THESE CHECKS REVEAL NOTHING, THEN CONTACT YOUR RETAILER’S AFTER-SALES
DEPARTMENT.
CAUTION!
Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance or repair work.
