Information"

8.1 Loading your wine cellar

You may load your wine bottles in single or double rows 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 ac-
` `
commodate larger type of bottles or increase the capacity
of the cellar by stacking the bottles up when necessary (see
removing shelves).
Keep smalls gap 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.
` `
Do not stack more than 1.5 rows of standard 0.75L bottles per
` `
shelves to facilitate air circulation
Avoid obstructing the internal fans (located inside on the back
` `
panel of the wine cellar). Do not 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.
Do not cover the wooden shelves with alloy foil or other ma-
` `
terials, as it will obstruct air circulation.
Do not move your wine cellar while it is loaded with wines. This
` `
might distort the body of the wine cellar and cause back injury.

8.2 Types of regulation

Please note that depending on the loading and settings chosen
it takes about 24 hours for the wine cellar to see the tempera-
ture stabilizing.
During this time LED seems to move erratically in particular for
2e models. It is normal and this process occurs whenever the
setting is modified and/or whenever a large amount of bottles
are added to the cellar.
Electronic regulation, digital display.
Designed to store and mature all wines: red, white and sparkling.
These wine cellars reproduce the ideal conditions for wine storage,
at a constant recommended temperature of 12ºC. They can also
be set to provide ideal serving temperature for full enjoyment of
the wine's qualities. Unless stated by the wine maker on the bottle,
the Manufacturer recommends 7ºC for your champagne, 12ºC
for whites and 18ºC for reds. (Refer to "Wine Service Temperature"
recommendation chart).

8.3 Temperature settings

IMPORTANT
The LCD displays by default the
actual internal air temperature.
The temperature settings are preset at the factory as follows.
In the event of a power interruption, all previous temperature
settings are automatically erased and it will revert to the preset
temperature settings.

It is important to understand that there is a difference between
the air temperature inside the wine cellar and the actual tem-
perature of the wine: you will need to wait approximately 12
hours before noticing the effects of temperature adjustment
due to the critical mass within a full wine cellar.
Once the temperature is set, it is strongly advised not to toy with
it or adjust frequently.
The thermostat will maintain the temperature inside the wine
cellar within a +/- 2.5ºC range. But the thermal inertia of the wine
and the glass is such that within this temperature range, the
actual temperature of the wine will only fluctuate 0.5ºC to 1ºC.

8.4 Wine serving temperature chart

All wines mature at the same temperature, which is a constant
temperature set between 12ºC to 14ºC. The below chart is an
indicative temperature chart to indicate the best temperature
