Operating Conditions
Before installing your cabinet read these instructions carefully.
OPERATING CONDITIONS
The WINCAVE cabinet you recently purchased is a maturation cabinet. It is therefore fitted with both cold
and warm circuits. The ideal temperature is 12°C/14°C.
When the temperature inside the cabinet is above the set temperature, the COLD circuit is activated. When
it falls below the set temperature, the WARM circuit automatically starts heating up.
You therefore obtain the programmed temperature.
THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE RANGE IS FROM 5 to 35°C
INSTALLATION
The WINCAVE cabinet should not be positioned next to a significant warm source or in a very humid
environment. Make sure that your cabinet is properly levelled. A surrounding air circulation is
recommended, to optimise efficiency.
You need to adjust the front feet to ensure that your cabinet is properly levelled.
The nominal power should be 220V – 50Hv (voltage between 198/242V). You need to have an efficient
earth (15 amp).
CABINET DESCRIPTION
1. Internal and external cabinet walls of steel.
Walls are 60 mm thick insulated with polyurethane foam without CFC to a density of 45g/l.
2. Sensor.
3. Magnetic door joint.
4. Shelves (sliding and storage).

Connecting and temperature setting
WARNING: YOU MUST WAIT 48 hours after unpacking and positioning your cabinet before switching
on. After plugging in, load your cabinet step by step.
THE BOTTLES MUST NOT BE IN CONTACT WITH THE BACK OF THE CABINET to maintain air
circulation around the bottles.
YOUR CELLAR TEMPERATURE
Depending on your WINCAVE model, your cabinet is fitted with the smart handle, equipped with one of
the following two electronic regulations (French patent no. 9106156).
Smart Handle Mono T° with the <LED security + >
The ideal temperature for wine storage is between 12°C and 14°C.
The temperature is pre-set and needs no adjustment.
YOU HAVE NOTHING TO DO.
Smart Handle Amphora with display and the <LED security +>
The temperature is adjustable by using the external display.
You can select between 10°C and 16°C.
HOW TO ADJUST THE TEMPERATURE RANGE, AMPHORA MODEL.
When the cabinet is first plugged in, the temperature is pre-set at a fixed 14°C. The display indicates for 3
seconds the set temperature. Then it displays the current internal temperature. Pressing on the < plus >
or < minus > keys will display the set temperature level. After releasing the keys the current interior
temperature is displayed again. Pressing the < plus > or < minus > keys at the same time for 3 seconds will
enable you to reach the programming mode.
For the first 3 seconds the display shows a flashing “P”.
After 3 seconds, the display shows the set temperature (flashing). You can adjust the value by pressing the
< plus > or < minus > keys.
After 3 seconds, without pressing any key, the temperature is automatically registered and the current
interior temperature is shown again.
In case of power failure, the set temperature is stored in the programme’s memory and will be used as soon
as power is re-established.

LOCK
Your cabinet is equipped with a security lock. To open it, it is necessary to push the key, in order to
disengage the security and to be able to rotate the key to the right or the left.
SLIDING AND STORAGE SHELVES
WINCAVE offers 2 options to store your wine bottles.
A storage shelf for 48 bottles maximum
Ref: C/S4s su
A sliding shelf for a layer of 12 bottles
Ref: C/coul su
Ref : C/coul su
This shelf allows you to store your bottles with their labels facing upwards. When you slide the shelf
towards you, you can identify them without moving them. A wooden label carrier helps identification.
Each shelf is positioned on 4 metal supports which fit into the side of the cabinet. You can therefore
progressively add more sliding shelves to your cabinet.

Control and maintenance
THE <LED SECURITY + >, TEMPERATURE ALARM
3 colour LED indication::
If temperature is more than 4°C lower than set temperature Blue LED
If temperature is no more than 4°C higher or lower than set temperature Green LED
If temperature is more than 4°C higher than set temperature Red LED
WARNING: A certain time is necessary to obtain the required temperature after plugging in the cabinet or
after opening the door
CARBON FILTER
An active carbon filter is located in the upper part of your cabinet. This filter allows a good air circulation
and prevents external odours to penetrate into your cabinet.
You need to replace this filter every year, sometimes twice a year if your room is very humid..

CLEANING YOUR WINCAVE
Twice a year, clean the condenser (metallic grating at the back of the cabinet).
The wooden parts, the top and bottom of the door, and the general parts of the cabinet must be cleaned with
a soft cloth and water. Never use chemical or solvent produce or abrasive cleaning materials.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Wood handles are made of solid oak.
The handle is hand made, polished and lacquered by craftsmen. Each handle is, therefore, unique and
never exactly the same as another.

Malfunctionning
Your problem and its answer are perhaps in the following list:
Problem Solution
There is a vibration when the
compressor is working Cabinet is not level on the floor. Use the adjustable feet at the front of the cabinet.
No indication after plugging in. Check plug, fuse and socket
Screen shows a blinking < - > (
Amphora ) Problem with the sensor. Switch off the cabinet and contact your after sales service.
Blinking LED ( model, Mono T° )
Problem with the sensor .Deplug the cabinet and contact your
after sale service
The ambient T° is > 16°C and/or
the interior T° is > 16°C
Check the set temperature, (Amphora) Switch off and then
on again. If the compressor does not work, switch off and
contact your after sales service.
The ambient T°C is < 10°C and the
interior T°C is < 10°C
Check the set temperature, (Amphora) Switch off and then
on again. If the heater does not work, switch off the cabinet
and contact your after sales service.
The interior T° is < 10°C and the
compressor works continuously.
Check the set temperature, (Amphora) Switch off and then
on again. If the compressor does not stop working, switch
off and contact your after sales service.
There is frost on the inside back
wall This is a normal physical phenomenon which will appear after opening the door.
A lot of ice has collected on the
back wall
Check that the door is well closed.
Check the set temperature, (Amphora)
If the interior temperature is the correct one, check that the
bottles are not touching the rear of the cabinet,(on fixed
shelves)
If the temperature is lower that the set temperature, be sure
that the compressor is not working all the time. (see above)
Cabinet is working, but T° is not as
selected. Check that the plug used is not dependant on a commutator.
Shelves do not slide correctly Check that the shelf rail is properly adjusted.
The fixed shelves are not straight The wood is very dry and needs the natural humidity of the
cabinet to return to it’s original straight form.
Water is dripping from the front of
the cabinet.
The cabinet is not correctly positioned on the floor. Use the
adjustable feet to create a very slight slope to the rear.
Check that there is nothing obstructing the evacuation hole,
on the compressor step.
