Various TRANSTHERM cabinet models
In order to adapt to different requirements and usages, there are 3 types of
TRANSTHERM wine cabinets. These cabinets have different characteristics
and specifications.
How do I know the model of my cabinet?
The first page of this manual has a self adhesive label on
it showing the exact model, type and serial number of
your wine cabinet.
1 temperature maturing cabinets:
MAS - MANOIR - ERMITAGE - STUDIO
Designed for storing and maturing all wines, these cabinets reproduce the exact
conditions of a natural cellar (one temperature at all times), no matter what the
outside temperature (between 0 and 35°C).
3 temperature tasting cabinets:
CASTEL - COTTAGE
In addition to the central maturing area (1 temperature) these cabinets also have
2 specific compartments for bringing to room temperature (upper compartment)
and chilling (lower compartment) a few bottles.
Multiple temperature service cabinets:
MAS - CELLIER - RÉSERVE
Also known as "Day Cellars" these cabinets are not designed for maturing but
for having all types of wine at their respective serving temperature. In fact, they
are designed in such a way that you can have 10 different temperature areas in
levels of the same cabinet (for the larger models).

Installing your wine cabinet
When unpacking your cabinet, make sure that there are no traces of impact or
other damage and that there are no surface defects.
Carefully remove all of the protections and adhesive strips from the packaging
around your wine cabinet.
Move your cabinet to its final location.
The place you have selected for your cabinet should:
1 - Be ventilated
2 - Enable air to pass between the wall and the back of the cabinet
3 - Be well away from any heat source
4 - Not be too damp (laundry, pantry, bathroom, etc.)
5 - Have a solid and flat floor
6 - Have a standard and accessible electricity supply (standard socket to
country standards, linked to ground).
In order for you to level off your cabinet as easily as possible, it is equipped
with 4 adjustable feet. However, we do recommend that you tighten the
back feet to the maximum and use the front feet to create a level (a spirit
level is recommended for this operation).
WAIT 48 HOURS BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE CABINET
Should you need to move your cabinet, never tilt it more than 45° and always
sideways, on the side that the electrical cable comes out.
Installing your wine cabinet in a fitted cupboard
Ensure that the cupboard base is stable, so as not to interfere with the cabinet.
Ensure correct ventilation of the cabinet by respecting the clearance shown in
the diagram on page 6. It is important that there is a space from the bottom to
the top behind the cabinet. In the event that another cabinet is to be installed
on top of the one containing the Transtherm unit, make sure that this space
continues right to the top.
1- Adjusting the feet:
- Tighten the two back feet to the
maximum as previously indicated.
Pre-setting the front feet:
- Tighten or loosen the front feet to
bring the cabinet level (see diagram).
TT INTEGRABLE GAR final GB 1/10/01 13:56 Page 5

2 - Installing the upper securing plate:
Remove the two black plastic bungs. Position and secure the plate using the
two M5X15 screws. Remove the hinge cover.
3 - Placing inside the cupboard:
Position the cabinet inside the cupboard, against the right hand side if the door
is left hand opening, or vice versa for right hand opening.
Check for stability, making sure the 2 front feet are in contact with the floor of
the cupboard, thus avoiding any warping of the cabinet body once loaded. If
this is not the case, adjust the feet until contact is achieved. The cabinet must
be located in such a way that the front is a maximum of 8mm from the front of
the cupboard (see diagram on page 7). The cabinet must then be secured using
the upper securing plate (2 cruciform head screws). Leave at least 1mm play
between the cupboard upright and its door, to ensure cabinet sealing.
4 - Securing the accompanying hinge:
Secure the accompanying hinge to the doors of the cabinet and cupboard
(see diagram page 7).

Commissioning
- Once you have waited 48 hours, connect your cabinet to the mains, having
checked that there is power to the socket (check fuses and their amperage, the
state of the trip, and if necessary try out another electrical appliance to verify
the supply).
- Once connected to the mains, make sure that the Off/On switch,
on the right of your cabinet’s control panel, is set at "On" (I).
- Once connected to the mains, make sure that the Off/On switch, on the right

Temperature settings
You set your wine cabinet’s temperatures from the control panel located on the
upper part of your cabinet using the hot and cold thermostat adjustment buttons
(see page 8 Nos. 1 and 3).
Standard Setting
The table below gives the standard setting enabling you to obtain the right
temperature for conserving your wines.
Model Ref
FITTED STUDIO 9 12
The settings shown in the above table are standard, given for an ambient
temperature of approximately 20°C. Depending on the outside temperature,
and/or installation conditions, and/or the load, a few adjustments may have to
be made. The setting values are not temperatures in Celsius, but are index
values.
important
English - P9
Temperature adjustment
If the load set up or the location of your cabinet calls for it, you can adjust the
temperature settings up and down.
Adjusting the temperature up
Starting off from the standard temperature settings, shift both thermostats
clockwise, keeping the same distance between them.
Adjusting the temperature down
Starting off from the standard temperature settings, shift both thermostats
anticlockwise, keeping the same distance between them.
IN ALL CASES:
AN INDEX VALUE CORRESPONDS WITH APPROXIMATELY ONE DEGREE
CELSIUS. YOU WILL NEED TO WAIT APPROXIMATELY 48 HOURS
BEFORE NOTICING THE EFFECTS OF A TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT.

Layout and loading recommendations
Every rack can be used as a storage rack or as a sliding rack. Your cabinet’s
racks have 8 cut-outs for Bordeaux or Alsace bottle, and 7 for Burgundy or
Champagne bottles. These enable you to install your bottles in total security.
Rack layout in storage mode:
To install bottles on a storage rack, proceed as follows:
- Insert the rack in the desired position.
-Place a wooden blocking dowel in the two orifices located about 15cm from
the front of the rack, on the left and right at the top: these dowels act as a stop
against the heat formed casing and stop the rack sliding without warning (see
diagram)
-Start by arranging bottles in each cut-out in the back row, with bottle ends
towards the back.
- Continue with the front row, placing the bottles the other way around.
-Continue stacking in the same manner, taking care that no bottle touches the
back wall.
For information: the maximum capacity of a rack placed at the bottom of the
cabinet is 30 traditional Bordelais bottles.
Rack layout in sliding mode:
To arrange bottles on a sliding rack, proceed as follows:
- Insert the rack in the desired position.
-Place a wooden blocking dowel in the two orifices located about 3cm from the
back of the rack, on the left and right at the top: these dowels stop the rack from
coming right out when you pull it outwards (see diagram)
- Pull the rack towards you
-Start by arranging bottles in each cut-out in the back row, with bottle ends
towards the back.
- Continue with the front row, placing the bottles the other way around.
-A sliding rack can only take one layer of bottles.
NEVER PULL OUT MORE THAN ONE LOADED SLIDING RACK AT
A TIME
You should remember that if you do not have enough bottles to fill your wine
cabinet, it is better to distribute the load over all of the racks available, so as to
avoid "all on top" or "all below" type loads.
Don’t forget to change the dowel positions if you decide to change from slider
rack to storage rack.

Important wine concepts
Your TRANSTHERM cabinet has been designed to guarantee the optimum
conditions for storing and/or serving your wine.
Wine is a highly complex product, requiring long and gentle development and
needs specific conditions in which to reach its full potential.
All wine is stored at the same temperature, only the temperatures for serving
and wine tasting can vary depending on the type of wine (see the table below).
This being the case and just like the natural cellars used by wine producers, it
is not the exact temperature that is important, but its constancy. In other words,
as long as the temperature of your cabinet is between 10 and 14° C, your wine
will be stored in perfect conditions if the temperature is not subject to any
significant fluctuation.
However, it is advisable to be especially careful concerning the values shown
on your wine cabinet's hygrometer, which, due to its location in the wine cellar
will always have tendency to display a pessimistic hygrometry level.
IRRESPECTIVE OF THE CAUSE, IF YOU NOTICE EITHER
ABNORMAL TEMPERATURE OR HYGROMETRY LEVELS INSIDE
YOUR CABINET, BE REASSURED THAT ONLY LONG EXPOSURE
TO THESE ABNORMAL CONDITIONS CAN HAVE A DETRIMENTAL
EFFECT ON YOUR WINES.
Hygrometry
You cabinet is equipped with an exclusive TRANSTHERM system enabling the
creation, inside your wine cabinet, of the correct hygrometry level required to
perfectly seal the corks in your bottles.

Everyday care of your wine cabinet
Your TRANSTHERM cabinet is a simple tried and tested item of equipment.
The following few operations enable you to obtain optimum operation and an
extended life cycle.
1 - Regularly remove dust (once a year) from the condenser (black metal grill
fastened to the back of your wine cabinet).
2 - Completely clean the inside of your wine cabinet once a year, taking care to
ensure that you have unplugged and unloaded it (use water and a non caustic
cleaning product, and make sure to rinse well).
The long life of your wine cabinet depends on regular monitoring,
especially of anything that may appear abnormal, and informing us of any
anomalies found.
