III INSTALLATION
Recommendations:
The location you have selected for your wine fridge should:
• be well ventilated
• be away from any source of heat and direct sunlight;
• not be frequently wet (e.g. laundry, bathroom);
• have a level floor;
• have a reliable electricity supply; and
• be away from the microwave. Some microwaves do not have a wave jamming shield
so when the wine fridge is placed less than 1m from a microwave, the operation of the
wine fridge can be affected.
The device is designed for the N-ST climate class. Protect the device from heat (above 38 ˚C)
and cold (below 16 ˚C), dust, moisture, flooding events and splashes.
• The wine fridge must be positioned so that the power socket remains accessible after
installation.
• Unwind the power cord but do not plug it into the electricity supply immediately.
• Install your wine fridge in its final location before loading it. If the fridge is moved while
loaded, the fridge walls may be permanently deformed.
IMPORTANT: Two people are required to properly and safely install the fridge.

15
A. Location
To ensure adequate ventilation of the fridge, allow a minimum of 15 cm between the wine
fridge and the nearby walls as shown in the illustration below.
B. Unpacking the device and discarding the packaging.
Remove all packaging, as well as protective elements inside the device's compartments,
before turning it on.
The carton and paper packaging are recyclable. Please dispose of paper packaging in
recycling bins.
Materials bearing the symbol are recyclable. Including: Polyethylene; Polystyrene; and
Polypropylene. These materials can be recycled if you dispose of them in collection
containers.
Other packaging items (e.g. fasteners) must be disposed of with household waste.

16
C. Foot adjustment
Your wine fridge is equipped with an adjustable foot to facilitate levelling.
It is recommended to adjust the front feet to level the wine fridge. Correctly levelled feet will
limit noise and vibration of the wine fridge.
Turn the adjustable foot by hand (be careful not to jam your fingers).
- Turn the foot anti-clockwise to raise the level of the wine
fridge
- Turn the foot clockwise to lower the level of the wine
fridge
D. Before loading the fridge
• Levelling: The wine fridge must be levelled before loading your wine
• Stable floor: Place the fridge on a stable surface where the ground can support the
loaded weight (1 full bottle usually weighs 1.3kg).
E. Ambient temperature
The wine fridge should be placed in a room with temperatures between 16-38˚C. If the
ambient temperature is above or below the climatic class, the performance of the wine fridge
will be impacted. Cold or warm temperatures can cause fluctuating fridge temperatures, the
fridge may not reach the set temperature or may stop working.

17
F. Change in the orientation of the door:
The door can be right or left opening. Change the door by following the instructions below.
Making this change requires 2 people.
Instructions for changing the "right-hung" door and reassembling it so it is "left-hung":
1. Unplug the power cord from the socket.
2. Remove the top hinge cover.
3. Unscrew the top hinge and remove it, then
remove the door by gently lifting it.
4. Unwind the front right foot completely until it
comes off. Remove it.
5. Unscrew the lower hinge and remove it.
6. Place the lower hinge on the opposite side after
removing the front foot and attach the hinge with
the screws you have just removed from the right
side.
7. Replace the foot on the left side of the fridge with
the adjustable foot removed from the right side.
Screw the smaller foot onto the right side.
8. Place the door on the lower hinge. Make sure the
glass door is upright and closes easily.

18
9. Place the top hinge on the opposite side.
10. Place the door on the fridge, then loosely screw
the hinge without tightening completely.
11 Once the door is installed, adjust the hinge by
tightening the screws until the door is in the correct
place.
12. Replace the top hinge cover.
Note: The door seal may come out of its place when changing the door. If you notice gaps
between the seal and the fridge frame when the door is closed, pull carefully on the seal to
close these openings. The correct positioning of the seal is important to ensure the fridge is
waterproof.
Moisture control
This aging cellar has a moisture management system that uses water condensation. The
humidity varies between 50% and 80% on average. You can view it using the hygrometer built
into the digital display (see paragraph D Functions and temperature settings).
Humidity will vary according to several factors including the number of bottles stored, the
frequency in which the door is opened, changes to the set temperature, location of the cellar,
and according to the ambient temperature or weather. These factors will sometimes result
in excess moisture or conversely a lack of humidity.
If the humidity is greater than 80%, this does not affect the quality of the wine. Moisture will
cause excess condensation to become visible on the interior walls, shelves, labels or door. If
this occurs, you should wipe away excess moisture to avoid mold developing.
Conversely, if the humidity is less than 50%, it is advisable to temporarily compensate by
adding a small container filled with water at the bottom of the unit to restore the ideal
humidity.

19
IV BEFORE USE
Wait 24 hours before starting your wine fridge.
We recommend that you leave your wine fridge upright, clean it with soapy water and
leave it open to eliminate residual odors.
Recommendations:
• Place the fridge in a cool place away from sunlight and heat sources.
• Certain parameters such as room temperature, door opening time or the number of
bottles stored inside could affect the internal temperature of your wine fridge. We
recommend that you check the internal temperature regularly and adjust it if
necessary.
• Do not cover the vents.
Operating noise:
To reach the desired temperature, this wine fridge, like all wine fridges with compressor
cooling systems, can produce certain noises, which are normal operating noises.
• Gurgling noise: caused by the refrigerant gas circulating in the refrigeration area of the
unit.
• Cracking noise: resulting from the contraction and expansion of the gas to produce the
cold.
The perception of noise by the individual is directly related to the environment in which the
wine fridge is located. Noise in normal operation is not a cause of the warranty's application.
