BEFORE USING YOUR WINE CELLAR The appliance you have purchased is a wine cellar (or wine-cooler), a professional product designed exclusively for storing wine. 1. After unpacking the appliance, make sure it is not damaged and that the door closes properly. Any damage must be reported to the dealer within 24 hours of delivery of the appliance. 2. Wait at least two hours before switching the appliance on, to ensure that the refrigerant circuit is fully efficient. 3.
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS AND SUGGESTIONS INSTALLATION • Use the wine cellar only to store wines and do not put any other type of food into it. • The appliance must be handled and installed by two or more persons. • Be careful not to damage the floors (e.g. parquet) when moving the appliance. • During installation, make sure the appliance does not damage the power cable. • Make sure the appliance is not near a heat source.
Remember when arranging • Place the bottles in a central position on the rack. • When closing the door make sure that the bottles do not touch the glass door. • Caution: highly concentrated alcohol must be kept hermetically closed and in a vertical position. • Because of the circulation of air in the refrigerator, different temperature zones form: the colder zones are those near the back wall, the warmer zones are close to the door glass.
INTRODUCTION TO WINE Wine storage A well-known characteristic of wine is that it can be stored over time: in the correct location, white wines can be stored for about two years after their vintage although ideally they should be drunk within one year. While light red wines can be stored for up to two years, fullbodied reds will age well for 10 years and dessert wines even up to twenty years. When you buy a bottle of wine, transfer it to your wine cellar or other suitable place immediately.
Temperature and humidity Temperature is a critical and vital factor during the entire life cycle of wine; it determines how well the wine develops when matured in the bottle. To ensure optimal storage, the temperature must be kept constant from 8 to 12 °C.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE Before any cleaning or maintenance operation, unplug the appliance from the mains or disconnect the electrical power supply. The wine cellar has a fully automatic defrosting function. • Droplets of water on the rear wall of the appliance indicate that the periodic automatic defrost cycle is in progress. The defrost water is automatically routed to a drain outlet and into a container from which it evaporates.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE 1. The appliance is not working. • Is there a power failure? • Is the plug properly inserted in the socket? • Is the double-pole mains switch on? • Has the fuse blown? • Is the power cord damaged? • Is the control panel in stand-by? 2. The internal temperature is not low enough.
INSTALLATION • Install the appliance away from heat sources. Installation in a hot place, near heat sources (radiators, cookers) or direct exposure to the sun will increase energy consumption and should be avoided. • If this is not possible, respect these minimum distances: - 30 cm from coal or oil stoves; - 3 cm from electric and/or gas cookers.
