2.2. Product usage

This appliance allows you to store your bottles or bring them to service

temperature (depending on the bottles) thanks to its wide adjustment

range. This appliance is specically intended for wine storage.

Important information concerning installation!

• To ensure proper electrical connection, follow the recommendations

given in this manual.

• Unpack the appliance and visually check that it is not damaged.

Please do not connect a damaged appliance. If the appliance has any

damage, inform your retailer or point of sale and keep the packaging.

• It is recommended that the appliance may settle for at least 24 hours

before plugging it to the mains, so that the compressor uid feed is

correct.

• Proper air circulation is necessary to avoid overheating. To

ensure suicient ventilation, observe the provided installation

recommendations.

• To avoid the risk of re, wherever possible, make sure the appliance is

not in contact with walls or any hot element (compressor, condenser).

Therefore, observe the installation recommendations.

• The appliance should not be placed close to radiators or cooking hot

plates or gas burners.

• Please ensure that electrical sockets remain accessible when the

appliance is installed.

Power saving

To limit power consumption:

• Install your appliance in a suitable place (see “Installation

instructions”).

12

• Leave the doors open as little time as possible.

regularly (see “Maintenance and cleaning”).

• Regularly inspect the door seals and ensure that they are still closing

properly. If this is not the case, contact your after-sales service.

• Setting temperature above 12 degrees will reduce the energy

consumption of the appliance and below 12 degrees will increase the

energy consumption of the appliance.

Refrigerating uid

The refrigerating circuit in the appliance uses refrigerating isobutane

(R600a), which is a highly inammable natural gas and is therefore

dangerous for the environment. When transporting or installing the

appliance, please make sure that no element of the refrigerating circuit

is damaged, as the refrigerating uid (R600a) is inammable.

Installation instructions

Before using your wine cooler:

• Remove inner and outer packaging.

• Before plugging the appliance to the electrical socket, leave it in

position for 24 hours. This will reduce the refrigeration circuit’s

possibility of malfunction due to transport.

Installing your wine cooler

• This wine cooler is designed for free-standing installation.

• Position it in a place strong enough to support its weight when

loaded. To ensure that it is levelled, adjust the height of the feet

underneath.

• To get the best from your appliance with the lowest energy

consumption, do not place the appliance close to a heat source

(heater, cooker, etc.), do not expose it to direct sunlight, and do not

place it in a room that is too cold.

• Connect the appliance to a single socket, leaving a 20 mm gap

between the back of the cooler and the side wall. Be careful when

adjusting it, so that your wine cooler is perfectly levelled. This

will avoid any movement due to instability, generating noise and

vibration, and will ensure that the door seals perfectly.

Reversing the Door

Please note the door is not reversible.

Equipment

The climate control system

According to advice from specialists, the ideal temperature for storing

wine is around 12 ºC, within a bracket of 10 to 14 ºC. Do not confuse this

with service temperature, which varies between 5 and 20 ºC, depending

on the specic 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 avoid transmitting vibration

to your wines.

Defrosting

Your appliance is equipped with an automatic defrost cycle, so when a

cooling cycle nishes, the appliance’s refrigerated surfaces are defrosted

automatically. The defrost water is channelled 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.

Loading

The maximum recommended bottle loading is given as guideline and

is for reference only; it provides a quick estimate of the size of the

appliance (similar to the capacity of a refrigerator expressed in litres).

These gures correspond to tests conducted with a standard

16

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, ute, etc.), each with

its own diameter and height.

In reality and in extreme cases, you could store more bottles by stacking

the same type of bottle without using shelves, but a varied cellar

comprises a wide variety of bottles and the practical aspect of everyday

cellar management limits its capacity. You will therefore probably load

the appliance a little less than the recommended maximum.

Storing your wine cooler

If you will not be using your appliance for short periods, leave the

control panel with its usual settings.

During an extended shutdown:

• Remove all bottles from the appliance.

• Unplug the appliance.

• Thoroughly clean the inside and outside of the appliance.

• Leave the door open to avoid condensation, unpleasant odours and

moul.

What to do in the event of a power cut

Most power cuts are resolved within a short time. A power cut of 1 or

2 hours will not aect the temperature in your cooler. To protect your

wines during a power cut, avoid opening the door as much as possible.

During extended power cuts, take the necessary measures to protect

your wine.

• If the appliance is unplugged or if there is a power cut, you must wait

three to ve minutes before restarting. If you try to restart before

this time, the compressor will only restart after 3 to 5 minutes (if the

temperature requires).

17

EN

Wine Cooler | Vinoteca | Cave de Vinho

• When switching it on for the rst time or following an extended

shutdown, it is possible that when restarting, the temperatures

selected and those displayed are not the same. Please note that this

is normal, and it will take a few hours before they stabilise.

If you need to move your wine cooler

• First, unplug your appliance.

• Remove all bottles and secure any loose parts.

• To avoid damaging the levelling screws on the feet, screw them

tightly into the base.

• Move the appliance in an upright position (preferably) or note the

direction in which the appliance may be laid down by looking at its

packaging.

In the event of a breakdown

Despite the care we take during production, a breakdown can never be

totally ruled out. Before contacting your retailer’s after-sales department,

please check if:

1. The appliance is properly plugged in;

2. A power cut is in progress;

3. The breakdown dierent than the ones described in the

troubleshoot table at the end of this manual.

CAUTION!: Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance

or repair work.

Handle installation

1. Open the door and carefully pull out the door gasket only at the area

where the handle is to be installed.

18

2. Insert the two supplied screws into the two slots on the inside of the

door.

3. Align the handle with the screws and tighten using a head

screwdriver until the handle is ush against the door frame.

4. Carefully press the door seal back into its original position.

2.3. Maintenance and cleaning

Before cleaning your appliance (something to be done regularly),

unplug it from the mains by removing the plug or by pulling the fuse

on the circuit.

Before using your appliance for the rst time and regularly after that,

we recommend that you clean the inside and outside (front, sides and

top) with a soaked piece of cloth in warm water mixed with a gentle

cleaning product. Then rinse with clean water and let it dry before

reconnecting it. Do not use metal objects, steam systems, volatile uids,

organic solvents or abrasive substances.

19

EN

Wine Cooler | Vinoteca | Cave de Vinho

Wooden shelves require no particular maintenance.

Do not use sharp or pointy objects to remove ice. Please use a plastic

scraper instead.

When the appliance is switched on for the rst time, there may be a

residual odour. In that case, run the appliance empty for a few hours at

the coldest possible temperature, as the cold will remove any odours.

2.4. Troubleshooting

• Any electrical work should be carried out by a qualied and skilled

technician.

• The appliance should be repaired by an accredited repair centre,

using only the manufacturer’s original spare parts.

• This appliance is designed for home use only. The manufacturer

declines any liability whatsoever in case of other uses.

You can solve many simple problems with your wine cooler yourself,

thus avoiding having to contact your after-sales department. Try the

following suggestions.
