Details on capacities:
Capacity indications assigned to the various Avintage wine cellar models are given for guideline
purposes. They will help you make your choice according to your desires and your available space.
These capacities are defined today based on a standard bottle of the "Bordeaux 75cl tradition" type. In
reality, you will probably be collecting bottles of different shapes and sizes. For practical reasons, it is
likely that you will fill your wine cellar with a smaller number of bottles than the maximum number it can
hold.
For example, if a wine cellar is loaded only with Burgundy wine bottles, there will be approximately 30%
fewer bottles than the initial quantity calculated for Bordeaux bottles.
Another important effect on loading is the number of wine bottle shelves: an additional wine bottle shelf
is equivalent to the loss of one bottle layer, and even two...
You can add more sliding shelves in your wine cellar if you want to. Just please take in consideration the
bottle quantities in that case that will be reduced.
Do not forget to take this aspect into consideration if you wish to have a more functional wine cellar and
add a large number of wine bottle shelves: you will have to decide between capacity and practicality!
Loading:
The desired temperature after the wine cellar starts running will only be reached after many hours
of operation. We recommend running your wine cellar empty for a few hours before you start
loading it.
Your wine cellar is delivered with one or more wine bottle shelves made of metal or wood according to the
models:

Place the supports in appropriate lateral notches inside the cabinet to fit your needs. Make sure that
the supports are inserted correctly in the notches (only a slight pressure is necessary to put the angle
iron in place and make sure that it holds properly).

Start by loading the lower part of your wine cellar.

Then simply stack the bottles with their bases facing backward in the back row and conversely for the
front row. The wine bottle trays are to be arranged according to the size of your wine cellar and the
shapes of your wine bottles.
IMPORTANT: make sure that the bottles do not come in contact with the inner cabinet's back
wall.
If you have a large number of bottles, we recommend that you load 40 bottles at a time and then let the
device run for 12 hours before you load another 40 bottles. Repeat this operation as many times as
necessary in order to create a thermal mass in your wine cellar.
Additional wine bottle shelves are available on a paying basis from the after-sales service of your retailer
or via our Internet site
Compliance with maximum loads:
The limit load per shelf must comply with indication. Do not exceed the designated maximum capacity
(warning: do not obstruct the activated charcoal filter). The wine bottle shelves are to be arranged
according to the size of your wine cellar and the shapes of your wine bottles.
 Fixed wine bottle shelves: 68 kg (approximately 52 bottles, 4 levels of 75 cl bottles by shelf
