OPERATIONS
BOTTLE AGEING COMPARTMENT
The ageing compartment's main function is that of guaranteeing that
your wines are preserved in optimal conditions�
The wine cellar's temperature was factory pre-set at 15° C, a temperature
that is considered optimal for most wines�
Wine has a complex nature and it derives from a long and slow process�
In order to best express its attributes, very specific conditions are
necessary�
All wines are preserved at the same temperature, but, depending on
their different characteristics, wines are served and tasted at very
different temperatures�
Therefore, just as for manufacturers' wine cellars, for your new appliance,
the absolute temperature value is not important for preserving your
wine� Rather, the constant temperature through time is important� Wine
preservation is ideal at any temperature, as long as that temperature
does not vary�
MANUAL TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Should you need to adjust the temperature inside the wine cellar, follow
the instructions below:
• When you plug in your wine cellar, the display shows the temperature
that has been set�
• Press the button (see Control Panel) for one second�
The temperature will begin to blink�
• Press the or buttons until you reach the desired temperature�
• Wait 5 seconds for the temperature to stop blinking�
• Wait until the wine cellar reaches its temperature before you place the
wine bottles inside�
The inside light does not go on (or it goes off temporarily) when the
inside temperature goes over 24° C� This allows you to reach the pre-set
temperature more quickly�
This appliance is intended to be used exclusively for the storage of wine�
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Regularly clean the inside and outside of the refrigerator using only
warm water and a neutral detergent�
Subsequent to washing, rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly using
a soft cloth�
Do not use the following: special glass and mirror cleaning products,
liquid, powder, or spray detergents, alcohol, ammonia or abrasive
products�
If you are not using the minibar, we suggest cleaning it well inside and
leaving the door ajar to ventilate the interior�
Before maintenance, deactivate the appliance and disconnect the mains
plug from the mains socket�
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in the cooling unit� Only
a qualified person must do the maintenance and the recharging
of the unit�
The appliance is recommended to be used at 18°C for the best
maintaining of red wine, 8°C for white wine or 12°C as an average
temperature for both red and white wine� The temperature may be
adjusted for wine that requires particular maintaining temperature�
NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS
The following sounds are normal during operation:
- A faint gurgling and bubbling sound from coils sound when refrigerant
is pumped�
- A whirring and pulsating sound from the compressor when refrigerant
is pumped�
- A sudden cracking noise from inside appliance caused by thermic
dilatation (a natural and not dangerous physical phenomenon)�
- A faint click noise from the temperature regulator when the
compressor switches on or off�
STOCKING THE WINE BOTTLES
Standard 24-bottle stock
The 24-bottle stock (for standard, mixed, and renana bottles) is
recommended for wines that need to be visible and easily removed�
Position each bottle into the slots on the 3 wooden shelves� 6 bottles
can be placed on the bottom of the wine cooler�
We suggest placing the longer bottles (Rhine wine type) at the cellar
base� The base is suitable for hosting larger bottles�
Regularly examine the drain of the appliance and if necessary, clean it�
If the drain is blocked, defrosted water collects in the bottom of the
appliance�
The interior of the wine cooler should be cleaned regularly to avoid
odor�
Check the door gasket regularly to make sure there are no debris�
Please turn off the power before cleaning�
Clean the inside surfaces with a warm water and baking soda solution�
The solution should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of
water�
Rinse and dry thoroughly�
