Remarks: The above mentioned temperatures must be raised by one or two degrees if the wine is oid.
In all circumstances one must take into account the ambient temperature, and in heat waves, it is
recommended to serve the wine two degrees above suggested temperature. Never serve wine warmer
than +20°C as the quality of the wine is likely to be altered.

Your wine cabinet has been specially designed to obtain optimum maturing of your best
vintages as well as with an adaptable temperature control mechanism. The cabinet
reproduces the ideal conditions of a real underground cellar and its thermostat allows you to
adjust the inside temperature according to your vintages or personal taste.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The air conditioning system:
Your wine cellar will keep your wine at an ideal temperature, recommended by wine
connoisseurs; that is to say between +10°C and +16°C for red wines (top racks) and between
+6°C and +12°C for white and rosé wines (lower racks).
It is particularly important to avoid sudden variations in temperature and this is one of the
reasons this wine cabinet has been designed.
When your wine cabinet is exposed to outside temperatures superior to those programmed
inside the appliance, the cooling circuit, controlled by the thermostat, starts up automatically
thus guaranteeing a constant temperature inside the appliance. In the opposite situation, the
heating circuit will start up instead, (if option chosen at purchase).
The heating circuit is controlled by a factory set thermostat situated at the back of the
appliance (inaccessible)
In the event that the model purchased is not equipped with the heating circuit and the
appliance is to be placed in an unheated locality where the temperature could go below
+10°C,.your wine cellar is designed in such a way that it can be equipped with this option at a
later date simply by getting in touch with your local after sales service.*

Anti-vibrating system:
The refrigerated compressor is equipped with special shock absorbers and the inside cavity
is insulated from the outside frame work by a thick layer of polyurethane foam. These
characteristics isolate your wine from vibrations.
Ventilation system:
The ventilation system renews the air in your cellar permanently, thus maintaining a correct
level of hygrometry.
Your cabinet is alsp equipped with two charcoal filters to filter and purify the air, eliminating
unpleasant odours incompatible with the full maturing of your wine.
To ensure efficiency, we recommend renewing filters once a year (easy to change, they are
available at your local after sales service*)

Humidifying system:
A special system combining a mineral diffuser with an automatic defrosting system maintains
a constant degree of humidity of about 70% (ambient temperature of +25°C, thermostat
position n°4). The development of the "bouquet" of your wine is achieved through a process
of "reduction" conditioned by a Iota! lack of oxygen. This is the role of the cork used by cork
manufacturers. A good cork is measured by its flexibility and elasticity which allows it to
adhere perfectly to the bottleneck, ensuring that the wine is hermetically sealed. Yet, to
preserve its qualities, the cork must remain damp. It is therefore important that the bottle be
kept lying down and that the level of humidity in the cabinet always be above 50%.
Recommended hygrometry is situated between 50% and 70%.
