TURNING ON YOUR WINE CELLAR
Plug in and switch on the cellar by pressing on the power
button for a few seconds.
When you use the wine cellar for the first time (or restart the
wine cellar after having it shut off for a long time), there will
be a few degrees variance between the temperature you
have selected and the one indicated on the LED readout.
This is normal and it is due to the length of the activation
time. Once the wine cellar is running for a few hours
everything will stabilize.
IMPORTANT
If the unit is unplugged, power is lost, or turned
off, wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the
unit. The wine cellar will not start if you attempt
to restart before this time delay.
Operating Noises
To reach the desired temperature settings, Our wine cellars,
like all wine cellars operating with compressors and fans,
may produce the following types of noises. These noises are
normal and may occur as follows:
• Gurgling sound - caused by the refrigerant flowing
through the appliance's coils.
• Cracking/popping sounds - resulting from the contraction
and expansion of the refrigerant gas to produce cold.
• Fan operating sound - to circulate the air within the wine
cellar.
An individual's perception of noise is directly linked to the
environment in which the wine cellar is located, as well the
specific type of models. Our wine cellars are in line with
international standards for such appliance. We will always
do its utmost to satisfy its customers but will not retake
possession of the goods due to complaints based on normal
operating noise occurrences.
LOADING THE WINE CELLAR AND
MAXIMUM CAPACITY
You may load your wine bottles in single or double rows
while taking note of the following: if you do not have enough
bottles to fill your wine cellar, it is better to distribute the load
throughout the wine cellar so as to avoid "all on top" or "all
below" type loads.
• Do remove or relocate adjustable wooden shelves to
accommodate larger type of bottles or increase the
capacity of the cellar by stacking the bottles up when
necessary. (See removing shelves)
• Keep smalls gap between the walls and the bottles to
allow air circulation. Like an underground cellar air
circulation is important to prevent mould and for a better
homogeneous temperature within the cellar.

FIG. 6
The wine cellar can contain 24 x 0.75 litre Bordeaux or
Burgundy bottles, with a diameter of Ø75 mm (see figure
5), divided into 6 bottles on each of the 4 shelves (3 wooden
and 1 on the floor of the cellar).
It is also possible to store Champagne-type bottles with a
diameter of up to Ø85 mm (see figure 6), by placing 4 on
each shelf, one opposite the other, for a total of 16 bottles.
Only bottles not exceeding the following measurements can
be stored in the wine cellar:

IMPORTANT
• Do not over load your wine cellar to facilitate air
circulation.
• Avoid obstructing the internal fans (located inside on
the back panel of the wine cellar).
• Do not slide the shelves outwards beyond the fixed
position to prevent the bottles from falling.
• Do not pull out more than one loaded shelf at a time as
this may cause the wine cellar to tilt forward.
• Do not cover the wooden shelves with alloy foil or other
materials, as it will obstruct air circulation.
• Do not move your wine cellar while it is loaded with
wines. This might distort the body of the wine cellar
and cause back injury.
