Before using your wine cellar 1. This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications such as - staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working environments; - farm houses and by clients in hotels, motels and other residential type environments; - bed and breakfast type environments. To ensure best use of your new appliance, carefully read the operating instructions, which also provide a description of the product and useful advice on storing wine.
Precautions and general recommendations • The wine cellar must only be used for storing bottles of wine, do not place any type of food inside it. • Do not cover or obstruct the appliance air vents. • To avoid the risk of children becoming trapped and suffocating, do not allow them to play or hide inside the appliance. • Before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning operation, unplug the appliance or disconnect the electrical power supply. • The power cable must only be replaced by an authorised person.
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. The product has an internal light that does not come on automatically when the door is opened, but can be switched on as necessary from the control panel by pressing the relevant 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.

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.
