Temperature Setting

The wine cellar is equipped with an electronic control for
programming the temperature inside the wine cellar. The
wine will be stored between 50°F (10°C) and 59°F (15°C)
according to expert advice.
The temperature pre-set in the factory is shown on the
display. The temperature, [pre-set at 54°F (12°C)], can
be changed on demand between 46°F (8°C) and 64°F
(18°C) depending on the wine stored.
1. Press button [1] (See Figure 3-1). While pressing
button [1] go to next point (2).
2. Use buttons [2] and [3] (See Figure 3-1) to lower or
increase the temperature.
3. Please allow 6 seconds for the control system to
record the new pre-set value.

Maintenance

It is recommended that you keep the wine cellar as
clean as possible. Unplug the wine cellar before
cleaning.
Do not use any abrasive or strong scented substances.
Use a smooth cloth or sponge and light detergent.
It is very important to check regularly that the air
circulation underneath and behind the cellar is not
blocked. Condensation collects in a small cup at the
back of the cellar. The cup has a sponge which helps
the condensation to evaporate. Check that the plastic
pipe routing the water from the inside to the cup is not
blocked by dust or dirt.
If the wine cellar fails to work, check the following
before proceeding with troubleshooting the unit:
• Is the power supply fuse intact ?
• Is the electric power plug properly inserted in its
receptacle ?
• Is the wine cellar switched on ?
The wine cellar is equipped with overheating protection.
Check whether this has been triggered or not.

How To Store Different Types Of
Bottles
Bottles should be stored in your wine cellar according
to their size. The most well known types of bottles are
the "Bordeaux" and the "Burgundy". These bottles are
not all identical. The most widely recognized bottles
are the "Tradition" and the "Légère". The "Champenoise"
and the "flûte d'Alsace" bottles have different diameters
and heights. Take these differences into account when
storing your wine and avoid mixing the bottles.
It is important to store bottles on their side in order for
the cork to remain in contact with the wine. Place
bottles top to bottom in the cellar for optimum volume
use. The illustrations show the best way to stack the
"Burgundy" and the "Bordeaux Tradition".
