- Press and together for 5 seconds to enter standby mode. Under standby mode, all
displays including 3 working LED lights will be off, but the wine cooler is still working. Press any key to
stop standby mode.
Tip: immerse a suitable thermometer in a clear glass bottle filled with water and place it in the
middle of the cellar. Wait at least 24 hours before checking the temperature. Then adjust the
thermostat in the light of the temperature read and that required.
Note: when you wish to switch from a single compartment wine cellar with multi temperature
(when fan is not activated) to a single compartment wine cellar with mono temperature (when
fan is activated and homogenizes the internal temperature), or vice versa, it is necessary to
wait 72 hours before the inner temperature of the wine is correctly regulated and becomes
stabilized.

The climate control system
According to advice from specialists, the ideal temperature for storing wine is around 12°C, within a
bracket of 10 to 14°C. Do not confuse this with service temperature, which varies between 5 and 20°C,
depending on the specific nature of the wine.
It is especially important to avoid sudden changes in temperature. Designed by specialists for
oenophiles, this appliance, unlike a simple refrigerator, takes into account the sensitivity of grand cru
wines to sudden variations in temperature by ensuring the close control of a constant average
temperature.
The anti-vibration system
The refrigeration compressor is equipped with special dampers (silent-blocks) and the inner space is
insulated from the body by a thick layer of polyurethane foam. These characteristics prevent the
transmission of vibration to your wines.
Defrosting
Your appliance is equipped with an automatic defrost cycle. When a cooling cycle finishes, the
appliance's refrigerated surfaces are defrosted automatically. The defrost water is channeled into a
condensates evaporation tray which is located in the back of the appliance near the compressor. The
heat produced by the compressor then evaporates the condensates collected in the tray.
The winter system
The winter kit is a frost protection system which enables the cellar to operate in an environment where
the temperature is between 0 and 43°C. A sensor located inside the appliance triggers a low power
electrical element when the inner temperature of the wine cellar becomes inferior by 3°C than the set
temperature. This is a low power element to avoid sudden rises in the temperature of the wine and so
avoid thermal shocks that are damaging to the preservation of the wine. The kit is intended to raise the
cellar's internal temperature even before there is a thermal exchange with the bottles.
The kit is designed to heat the internal temperature of the cellar even before a heat exchange has
occurred with the bottles. The winter system keeps the temperature inside the wine cellar the same as
the programmed temperature. When the system is activated and the internal temperature reaches the
set temperature, the system stops.
Note: when the winter system is running, several hours are required before reaching the desired
