ECO DEMO MODE
Eco demo mode can be activated by presenting the appliance at exhibitions, shows or in salesrooms. In
eco demo mode, compressor and all fan motors are switched OFF. By pressing and holding the "+" and "-
" (C and B) and light (J) keys at the same time for at least 5 seconds, the indicator light will flash five times
to confirm the input and the unit will operate in eco demo mode. Eco demo mode can be abandoned by
repeating the above process, be noted that compressor and fan will activate 5 minutes later (for
compressor protection reason).
EQUIPMENT
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.
Humidity maintenance system
The wine cellars not equipped of charcoal filter have a manual system for maintaining a correct level of
humidity. If humidity is too low, snap the small plastic reservoir on to top rack of wine cellar. Fill reservoir
to ¾ full. Check water level occasionally to refill.
Designed by specialists in oenology as written above, the wine cellar is allowed for a storage period of 2
months maximum. Avintage has taken care of the cork's sensibility to the humidity rate. That's why the
plastic reservoir has to be put on the top shelf to ensure a minimum humidity. Be careful to control the
water level if you store your wine cellar for a long period.
Make sure the water tank is well positioned to avoid any liquid falling.
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.
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 5 and 32°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
