Before use

At cabinet reception

Check that the cabinet and or box have not been damaged during transport. Do not
put in use if the cabinet has been damaged during transport.

Transport Damages must be reported to French Corner Cellars within 24 hours
of the delivery.

&

Remove the packaging. Clean the inside of the cabinet using warm water with a mild
detergent. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly (see cleaning instructions page

18). Use a soft cloth.

&

If the cabinet has been laid down during transport, or if it has been stored in cold
surroundings (colder than +41°F), it must be allowed to stabilize in an upright position
for at least twenty-four (24) hours before being
switched on.

The pieces on the rear of the cabinet ensure air
circulation by providing enough space for the
cabinet to operate normally. Fit the two caps
supplied with the cabinet as shown on the picture.

&

&

Setting up

It’s important to have the cabinet leveled. It can
be adjusted by screwing or unscrewing the
adjustable feet at the front of the cabinet.
Use a spirit level to check that the cabinet is
absolutely level sideways.

&
&

Installing shelves

There are three different shelf models.

Fixed shelves

Place the shelf on top of the internal wall supports, and then slide it towards the back
of the cellar. Make certain the wedge is on the upper end of the shelf.

Display shelves

Use two sets of side supports per display shelf. The posterior part of the shelf sits on
the upper level, the front part of the shelf sits on the lower level supports, creating a
tilted shelf allowing bottles to be placed in an angled position.

Sliding Shelves

Place the 2 rails on the internal wall supports, with the wheels at the front.
Then insert the shelf between the rails, with the wheels on the back, in diagonal from
the top; once placed between the rails slide is towards the back.
