GENERAL PRECAUTIONS AND
SUGGESTIONS
• Use the wine cellar only to store wines and do
not put any other type of food into it.
• Be careful not to cover or obstruct the
appliance's ventilation openings.
• To avoid the risk of suffocation and becoming
trapped, do not allow children to play or hide
inside the appliance.
• Before any maintenance or cleaning, unplug the
plug from the power socket or switch off the
electrical power.
• Only an authorised person can replace the
power supply cable.
• Do not keep explosive substances in the
appliance.
• Be careful when moving the appliance not to
damage flooring (e.g. parquet).
• Do not use extensions or multiple adapters.
• The appliance is not intended for use by young
children or unsupervised infirm people.
• Do not damage the cooling fluid circuit.
• Do not use electrical appliances inside the
appliance's frozen food storage compartments, if
they are not of the type recommended by the
manufacturer.
• Place the appliance in a dry and well-ventilated
room. The appliance is designed to work in
rooms where the temperature falls within the
following intervals, which in turn are a function
of the climatic class given on the data plate: the
appliance may not work correctly if it is left for a
long time at a temperature higher or lower than
the interval specified.
Climatic Class Room T. (°C) Room T (°F)
SN from 10 to 32 from 50 to 90
N from 16 to 32 from 61 to 90
ST from 16 to 38 from 61 to 100
T from 16 to 43 from 61 to 110
Important:
• If large amounts of wine are put in the appliance,
it may take several days for it to reach a
constant temperature.
• Caution! The storage temperature must never
drop below +6°C.
• When the appliance is working, drops of dew or
frost may form on the inner liner wall. This
depends on the operation. There is no need to
scrape the frost off or dry off the dew. The back
wall defrosts automatically. The defrost water is
automatically conveyed to a drain hole, and then
collected in a container where it evaporates.
• The bottles can be stored neatly on the wooden
racks. Each shelf can bear a maximum weight of
40 Kg.
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.
• Always store bottled wines individually and not in
cases or cardboard boxes.
• The recommended quantities of 0.75 l Bordeaux
type bottles are as follows:
- h 1400: 88 bottles;
- h 1600: 101 bottles;
- h 1800: 119 bottles.
However, the appliance itself has been built to
withstand the following loads:
- h 1400: 101 bottles MAXIMUM;
- h 1600: 121 bottles MAXIMUM;
- h 1800: 137 bottles MAXIMUM.
