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 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
programmed temperature. When the system is activated and the internal temperature reaches the set
temperature, the system stops.
Shelves
To prevent damaging the door gasket, make sure to have the door all the way opened when pulling
shelves out of the rail compartment.
To remove shelves:
1. Fully extend the shelf you wish to remove (Fig. A)
2. Lift the front of the shelf up (Fig. A)
3. Holding the shelf track, push the shelf in, then up to release from the rear dampers (Fig. B)
6. LOADING
The maximum recommended loading quantities for bottles are given as guidelines and are indicative only;
they provide a quick estimate of the size of the appliance (similar to the capacity of a refrigerator
expressed in liters).
They correspond to tests conducted with a standard bottle: the standard "75 cl light Bordeaux" bottle -
standards apply the geographical origin of each bottle shape (Bordeaux, Burgundy, Provence, etc.) and a
type (traditional, heavy, light, flute, etc.), each with its own diameter and height.
In reality and in extreme cases, you could store more bottles by stacking the same type of bottle without
using shelves, but a varied cellar comprises a wide variety of bottles and the practical aspect of everyday
cellar management limits its capacity. You will therefore probably load the appliance a little less than the
recommended maximum.
