During first use IMPORTANT: When you use the wine cabinet for the first time or restart the appliance after it has been turned off for a long time, there could be a few degrees variance between the temperature you select and the one indicated on the LED display.
o Cool air falls and warmer air rises, so there will be a slight temperature variation between the top of the cabinet and the bottom of the cabinet. IMPORTANT: When temperature changed, compressor works harder to reach the required temperature. During this time, the side panels of the wine cabinet can reach up to 45°C however they will cool down when the set temperature is reached.

o Special stoppers that keep wine sparkling and Champagne bubbling for one or two days after opening, can be bought at most good wine shops. o When stored correctly, white wines can keep well for up to two years. Full bodied reds will age well for ten years and dessert wines will age well for up to twenty years.
Slight effervescence in still wine- this isn’t really a problem with the way the wine has been stored, but as a result of incomplete malolactic fermentation before the wine was bottled. A good way to get rid of the effervescence is to let the wine breathe. Alternatively you can use a bottle vacuum device, after about five minutes the effervescence will vanish.
o After washing the appliance, wipe over the area that you have cleaned with a damp cloth and then dry it thoroughly. o When cleaning is complete, dry your hands and then reconnect the plug to your mains supply. Defrosting o Defrosting occurs automatically inside of the wine cabinet during operation.
