• There can be an odour when you first switch on the appliance. It will lessen as the appli-
ance starts to cool.
During first use:
IMPORTANT: When you use the wine cooler for the first time or restart the appliance after
it has been turned off for a long time, there could be a few degrees variance between the
temperature you select and the one indicated on the LED display. This is normal and it is
due to the length of activation time. Once the wine cooler has been running for a few hours
everything will be back to normal.
• When you first switch on the appliance, the compressor will run continuously until the wine
cooler reaches a cool enough temperature.
• During this period of time, you should try not to open the door frequently or place bottles
inside of the appliance.
• If the unit is switched off or unplugged, you must allow at least 5 minutes before restarting
the appliance or reconnecting it to your mains supply.
Loading the wine cooler:
IMPORTANT: Your appliance is ideally suited to store 0.75 litre Bordeaux style wine bottles.
Whilst it can store larger bottles, you must make sure that they do not prevent the door from
shutting properly.
• Always check that you can close the door without it fouling on a wine bottle, before shutting it.
• When loading several bottles of wine at once, it will take longer for the appliance to cool
the individual bottles.
• As many bottles may differ in size and dimensions, the actual number of bottles you are
able to store may vary.
• The maximum storage number is based on standard 0.75 litre Bordeaux style wine bottles.
Storing your wine:
• The chart below indicates the ideal storage temperatures for different types of wine:
Note: Setting the temperature too high can cause the wine to spoil, and setting the temper-
ature too low can waste electricity.

Red wine
White wine
Sparkling wines/champagne
• Temperature stability is the most important factor when it comes to storing wine.
• Exposure to light, vibrations or fluctuations in temperature and humidity can all cause wine
to spoil. When properly stored, wines not only maintain their quality but many will actually
improve in aroma, flavour and complexity as they mature.
• Wines kept at a higher temperature will age faster. Wine that is exposed to temperatures
that are greater than 18 °C (64 °F) will suffer from poorer flavour and aroma.
• If wine is kept at too low a temperature, this can result in the development of harmful de-
posits. A humidity of 60%~70% is ideal for keeping corks from shrinking.
• After a bottle of wine has been opened, the wine comes into contact with air. So it is best
to store the remainder of the bottle upright, to minimize the surface area of the wine that
is coming into contact with the air.
