which can cause ignition. Do not
operate the Wine Cellar in the
presence of explosives and/or
flammable fumes.
•Do not place the Wine Cellar or
any of its part near an open flame,
cooking or other heating
appliances.
•Do not operate the Wine Cellar
with a damage cord or plug, if the
product malfunctions, or if it is
dropped or damaged in any
manner. If the mains cord is
damaged, you must have it
replaced by the manufacturer, or
your local authorized service
centre or similarly qualified
electricians in order to avoid a
hazard.
•The use of attachments not
recommended by the
manufacturer may be hazardous.
•Place the Wine Cellar on a dry
level surface.

5
•Do not operate if the housing is
removed or damaged.
•A loose fit between the AC outlet
(receptacle) and plug may cause
overheating and a distortion of the

operation at certain ambient
temperatures. The climate class is
specified on the rating plate.
The Wine Cellar may not work
properly if it is left for a long period
at a temperature outside the specified
range. For example, placing your
Wine Cellar in extreme cold or hot
conditions may cause interior
temperatures to fluctuate. The range
between 5ºC and 22ºC (41ºF and
72ºF) may not be reached.

DYNAMIC CLIMATE / SILENT
MODE
This Dynamic Climate mode enables
the relative humidity inside the Wine
Cellar and the temperature to be
distributed evenly around the interior
so you can store all your wine under
exactly the same excellent conditions.
If you would like to use the Wine
Cellar to store wine long term, the
dynamic climate mode is a must.
This will create a continuous climate
in the cabinet which imitates that of a
Wine Cellar.
In the Dynamic Climate mode, the
interior fan circulates the inside air
evenly even the set temperature is
reached. Dynamic Climate mode is
NOT the factory preset mode
beacause of creating noises and more
energy consumption. To change to
Dynamic Climate mode, touch and
hold the DOWN key for
approximately five seconds. The
Wine Cellar will beep five times to
confirm Dynamic Climate mode is on.
To change back to Silent (default)
mode (also named as energy saving
mode), touch and hold the UP key
for approximately five seconds. The
Wine Cellar will beep three times to
confirm Silent mode is on.
SABBATH MODE
Sabbath mode is available for the
observance of certain religious
holidays. This mode turns off the
displays, interior light and audible
alarms and prevents them from
turning on again. Normal cooling
operations will still take place.
To initiate Sabbath mode, press the
POWER and LIGHT keys at the
same time for at least 5 seconds. The
indicator light will flash four times
and confirm the Sabbath mode is ON.
Sabbath mode can be exited by
repeating the above process. The
Sabbath Mode will automatically exit
after 96 hours.
CABINET SHELVES
•IMPORTANT - Do not cover any
part of the shelves with aluminum
foil or any other material that will
prevent adequate air circulation
within the Wine Cellar.
•To prevent damaging the door
gasket, make sure the door is fully
open when pulling shelves out of
the rail compartment.
•For easy access to the bottles
stored, pull the shelves out
approximately 1/3. The shelves
are designed with an emergency
stop to prevent them being
removed too far when loaded.
OPERATING NOISES
The Wine Cellar is cooled by a
compressor (refrigeration aggregate).
The compressor pumps coolant
through the cooling system,
producing operating noise. Even
when the compressor cuts out, noises
caused by changes in temperature
and pressure are unavoidable.
Operating noise will be most audible
immediately after the compressor
cuts in. It becomes quieter as the
operating period continues.
The following noises are normal and

13
occur from time to time:
- Gurgling sound, caused by the
refrigerant flowing through the a
Wine Cellar’s coils,
- Humming noise made by the motor
compressor. This noise can get
louder for brief periods when the
motor is switching on.
- Cracking/popping sounds, resulting
from the materials contraction and
expansion due to temperature
variations,
- Fan operating sound, to circulate
the air within the Wine Cellar.
Unusual noise is normally the result
of improper installation. Under no
circumstances must tubing come into
contact with a wall, other furniture or
with other tubing.
Where the Wine Cellar is installed in
open-plan kitchen or in partition
walls, the level of operating noise
will be heard more acutely. However,
this is due to the surrounding
architecture and not to the Wine
Cellar.
An individual’s perception of noise is
directly linked to the environment in
which the Wine Cellar is located, as
well the specific type of models. Our
Wine Cellar are in line with
international standards for such
appliances and in line with the latest
technical developments. But please
remember that the noise of the
compressor and the coolant
circulating in the system is
unavoidable.
DEFROSTING / HYGROMETRY
/ VENTILATION
Your Wine Cellar is designed with an
automatic defrost system. During the
“Off-cycle” the evaporator behind
the rear wall of the unit defrosts
automatically. The condensate
collects in the drain trough behind
the rear wall of the Wine Cellar, and
part of it flows through the drainage
hole into the drip tray by/above the
compressor. The heat is transferred
from the discharge pipe or
compressor and evaporates any
condensation that has collected in the
tray. Part of the remaining water is
collected within the Wine Cellar for
humidity purposes.
This system enables the creation of
the correct humidity level inside your
Wine Cellar required by the natural
cork to maintain a long lasting seal.
The Wine Cellar is not totally sealed:
fresh air admission is permitted
through the drainpipe. Air is
circulated through the Wine Cellar by
means of a fan / fans and the hollow
shelves.
NOTE: Frost may be accumulated
on the evaporator if the Wine Cellar
is repeatedly opened in a high heat or
high humidity location. If this frost
pattern does not clear within 24 hours,
your Wine Cellar will require manual
defrosting.

14
BOTTLE STORAGE
Many bottles may differ in size and
dimensions. As such the actual
number of bottles you may be able to
store may vary.
Bottle capacities are approximate
maximums when storing traditional
Bordeaux 750 ML bottles and
include bulk storage.
You may load your wine bottles in
single row or by stacking while
taking note of the following: if you
do not have enough bottles to fill
your Wine Cellar, it is better to
distribute the load throughout the
wine cellar so as to avoid “all on top”
or “all below” type loads.
- Do remove or relocate adjustable
wooden shelves to accommodate
larger type of bottles or increase
the capacity of the cellar by
stacking the bottles up when
necessary. (See removing
shelves)
- Keep small gaps between the
walls and the bottles to allow air
circulation. Like an underground
cellar air circulation is important
to prevent mould and for a better
homogeneous temperature
within the cellar.
- Do not over load your Wine
Cellar to facilitate air circulation.
- Avoid obstructing the internal
fans (located inside on the back
panel of the Wine Cellar).
- Do not try to slide the shelves
outwards beyond the fixed
position to prevent the bottles
from falling.
- Do not pull out more than one
loaded shelf at a time as this may
cause the Wine Cellar to tilt
forward if not properly installed.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
ABOUT TEMPERATURE
Your Wine Cellar has been designed
to guarantee optimum conditions for
storing and/or serving your wines.
Fine wines require long and gentle
developments and need specific
conditions in which to reach their full
potential.
All wines mature at the same
temperature, which is a constant
temperature set between 11ºC to
14ºC. Only the temperature of
“dégustation” (wine appreciation)
varies according to the type of wines
(see “Wine Serving Temperature
Chart” above). This being said and
as it is for natural cellars used by
wine producers for long period of
storage, it is not the exact
temperature that is important, but its
consistency. In other words, as long
as the temperature of your Wine
Cellar is constant (between 11ºC to
14ºC) your wines will be stored in
perfect conditions.
Not all wines will improve over the
years. Some should be consumed at
an early stage (2 to 3 years) while
others have tremendous ageing
capability (50 and over). All wines
have a peak in maturity. Do check
with your wine consultat to get the
detailed information.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Failure to unplug the
Wine Cellar during service and
cleaning could result in electrical
shock or other personal injury.
CLEANING YOUR WINE
CELLAR
•Turn off the power, unplug the
Wine Cellar, and remove all items
including shelves and rack.
•Wash the inside surfaces with a
warm water and baking soda
solution. The solution should be
about 2 tablespoons of baking
soda to a pint of water.
•Wash the shelves with a mild
detergent solution.
•Wring excess water out of the
sponge or cloth when cleaning
any area of the controls.
•Wash the outside cabinet with
warm water and mild liquid
detergent. Rinse well and wipe
dry with a clean soft cloth.
•Do not clean the stainless steel
with steel wool pads. Suggest to
using an all-in-one stainless steel
cleaner to clean the stainless steel
and always clean in the direction
of grain.
POWER FAILURE
•In the event of a power
interruption, all previous
temperature settings are
automatically memorized. If
power is interrupted (power surge,
breaker switch, etc.) and then
powered up again, the Wine Cellar
will operate with the last
temperature set-point.
•Most power failures are corrected
within a few hours and should not
affect the temperature of your
Wine Cellar if you minimize the
number of times the door is
opened. If the power is going to be
off for a longer period of time,
you need to take the proper steps
to protect your contents.
•NOTE: Irrespective of the cause,
if you notice either abnormal
temperature or humidity levels
inside your Wine Cellar, be
reassured that only long and
frequent exposure to these
abnormal conditions can cause a
detrimental effect on your wines.
VACATION TIME
•Short holidays: Leave the Wine
Cellar in operation for holidays of
less than three weeks.
•Long absences: If the Wine
Cellar will not be used for several
months, remove all items, turn off
the Wine Cellar and unplug. Clean
and dry the interior thoroughly. To
prevent odour and mold growth,
leave the door open slightly:
blocking it open if necessary.

17
MOVING YOUR WINE CELLAR
•Remove all items.
•Securely tape down all loose items
(shelves) inside your Wine Cellar.
•Turn the adjustable leg up to the
base to avoid damage.
•Tape the door shut.
•Be sure the Wine Cellar stays
secure in the upright position
during transportation. Also
protect outside of Wine Cellar
with a blanket, or similar item.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
•The Wine Cellar should be located
in the coolest area of the room,
away from heat producing Wine
Cellars, and out of the direct
sunlight.
•Ensure that the Wine Cellar is
adequately ventilated. Never
cover air vents. Clean dust and
dirt from the condenser at regular
intervals.
•Only open the door for as long as
necessary and for as short a time
as possible.
