Selecting the temperature
To turn on your wine cellar, you have to plug it and to turn off the appliance, you need to unplug it.
•
You can program the desired chamber temperature by using the "
selected increases/decreases by 1°C with each button press.
•
The temperature can be set within a range of 5 to 20°C.
When the surrounding temperature is 25℃ and the wine cooler has no bottle loaded, it will take around 30
minutes to increase the wine cooler's temperature from 5℃ to 12℃. Under the same circumstance, it will
take around 60 minutes to decrease the wine cooler's temperature from 12℃ to 5℃. The less the
temperature span is, the less time it will take. The setting temperature of upper zone should be lower than
the setting temperature of lower zone

The climate control system
According to advice from specialists, the ideal temperature for storing wine is around 12°C, within a bracket
of 10 to 14°C. Do not confuse this with service temperature, which varies between 5 and 20°C, depending
on the specific nature of the wine.
It is especially important to avoid sudden changes in temperature. Designed by specialists for oenophiles,
this appliance, unlike a simple refrigerator, takes into account the sensitivity of grand cru wines to sudden
variations in temperature by ensuring the close control of a constant average temperature.
The anti-vibration system
The refrigeration compressor is equipped with special dampers (silent-blocks) and the inner space is
insulated from the body by a thick layer of polyurethane foam. These characteristics prevent the transmission
of vibration to your wines.
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.
Hygrometry
Hygrometry of our wine cellars is regulated by itself by the principle of hygrodynamics. During cooling
process, there is a formation of frost (the cold dries the air), humidity can drop to 50%. During warming
period, frost melts and the rate can rise above 75%. By averaging the 2 values, we obtain a humidity level
suitable for wine storage. It is imperative to reason in average value over several cycles and not from a one-
off statement.
In case you want to increase the moisture level in your wine cellar, you can put a bowl of water at the bottom
of your unit, making sure it is stable and cannot spill.
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.
