Before using your wine cellar The appliance which you have purchased is a wine cellar – a professional appliance intended exclusively for keeping wines. For best use of your appliance, please read these instructions carefully. In them you will find a description of the appliance and useful tips on keeping wines. Keep this booklet for future consultation. 1. After unpacking the appliance, make sure that the door closes. Inform your retailer of any damage within 24 hours. 2.
General precautions and suggestions • Use the wine cellar only to store wines and do not put any other type of food into it. • Be careful not to cover or obstruct the appliance’s ventilation openings. To avoid the risk of suffocation and becoming trapped, do not allow children to play or hide inside the appliance. • Before any maintenance or cleaning, unplug the plug from the power socket or switch off the electrical power. • Only an authorised person can replace the power supply cable.
Introduction to wine Storing wine As is well known, wine will keep for a long time; if kept in a suitable place white wines will keep for about two years from the date of harvest, but should be drunk within a year. Light wines can instead be kept for up to two years, while some full-bodied red wines can keep for ten years and raisin wines even twenty years. When you buy a bottle of wine put it in the cellar or another suitable place immediately.
Storing the bottles Classical storage with 36 bottles If you want to arrange the bottles for storing wine so that they are visible and easy to take out, we recommend the 36-bottle configuration (Bordeaux bottle or mixed Bordeaux bottle and German-type bottle). Position a maximum of 6 bottles in the niches of each of the 5 wooden shelves; another 6 bottles can be placed in the slots on the bottom of the cellar to give a total of 36 bottles.
Storing the bottles Other configurations for storing bottles STANDARD 36 Bottles (100% on their sides) 5 racks used STORAGE 44 Bottles (100% on their sides) 1 rack used SERVICE 42 Bottles (50% on their sides and 50% upright) 3 racks used } 4 rows (6x4) MAXIMUM STORAGE 46 Bottles (48% on their sides and 52% upright) 1 rack used 4 rows (6x4) { STORING CHAMPAGNE BOTTLES Never take out more than one sliding shelf at once.
Table of the best serving temperatures for wines The table gives the indicative temperatures at which the wine should be served. If the wine must be served at a higher temperature than that set inside the cellar, it should be left out for as long as is necessary.
How to operate the appliance Preparing the appliance for use Switching on the appliance Insert the plug to start the appliance and then set the temperature on the front panel. A green pilot light comes on to indicate that the appliance is switched on. Inside the appliance there is a lamp which comes on automatically when the door is opened or which can be lit if necessary from the control panel by pressing the push button.
How to operate the appliance Note: To store the wine correctly we recommend setting the thermostat temperature at 10°C (upper compartment) to obtain a temperature of 15 – 16°C. For working with one temperature zone the black bottle-holder rack is removed and replaced with the accessory rack (the same type as the other woodcolour racks already installed). Keep the unused rack in a dry and cool place to avoid it being damaged by humidity or other atmospheric agents and thus being unusable in the future.
Cleaning and maintenance Before any maintenance or cleaning, unplug the appliance or disconnect the appliance from the power supply. The wine cellar defrosts completely automatically. • Occasional drops of water on the appliance’s inner back wall indicate the automatic defrosting phase. The defrost water is automatically conveyed to a drain hole, and then collected in a container where it evaporates. If necessary… 1. Empty the wine cellar completely. 2. Disconnect the appliance from the mains. 3.
Troubleshooting guide Before contacting the Customer Care Center… Problems of operation are often due to simple causes, which may be identified and solved without using any tools. Appliance noises are normal because its fans and compressors switch on and off automatically.
Troubleshooting guide 1. • • • • • The appliance does not work. Is there a power cut? Is the plug plugged into the socket properly? Is the 2-pole mains switch on? Has the fuse burnt out? Is the power supply cable broken? 2. • • • • • The temperature inside the wine cellar is not cold enough.
Installation • Assemble the appliance with the correct ventilation as shown in the figures. • The doors cannot be reversed on this wine cellar. • Install the appliance away from heat sources. • Installation in a hot room, direct exposure to the sun’s rays or placing the appliance near a heat source (radiators, cookers), increase power consumption and should be avoided.
