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.
Shelves
•
To prevent damage to the door seal, ensure that the door is fully open before pulling out the shelves to
add or remove bottles.
•
For easier access to the contents of the shelves, slide the shelf out approximately one third of the way.
The shelves are, however, fitted with a stop to prevent the bottles falling out.
•
To remove or reposition the shelves, incline the shelf as indicated in the diagram, then push or pull as
required.
Enhanced safety
Since this range of appliances is intended for storing items of value, we have been careful to select quality
components and to design suitable manufacturing techniques to ensure optimum safety in operation.
Installing the handle
Your appliance has a stainless steel handle. To fit it, simply screw it onto the door with the screws supplied
as per the diagram below, having first removed the seal.
7. 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.
