Safety instructions
This appliance is intended for domestic use only. It has been designed for
storage of your bottles of wine.
The following instructions are
for your own safety and should
be observed without fail. We can
neither be held responsible, nor
uphold the guarantee in case of failure to observe these recommendations, which may lead to material or
bodily damage.
Your appliance must be installed and
used in compliance with the instructions in this guide for installation and
use, in order to avoid any damage as
well as any danger due to possible
instability or a faulty installation. You
will only be able to keep your wine in
optimum conditions by following these
instructions carefully.
If the appliance has been delivered
to your home in a horizontal position, stand it vertically and then
wait 2 hours before plugging it in. A
small amount of oil may have run
into the refrigeration circuit, and
you must leave it time to flow back
towards the motor before connecting the appliance. Failure to do so
may damage the appliance.
Carry out an initial cleaning operation
(see "Installation of your appliance"
chapter) before connecting your
appliance to the electrical supply.
Disconnect your appliance prior to
carrying out any maintenance operation. Grasp the plug directly, rather
than pulling on the electric lead.
Do not let children play with the
appliance, and keep your pets well
away from it.
Worn out appliances must be rendered unusable.
Unplug and cut the electric cable flush
with the appliance. Make the door closure device unusable, or, better still,
remove the door. This is in order to
ensure that no child or animal gets
shut inside whilst playing.
If a problem arises that you are unable
to resolve using the advice given (see
"Operational anomalies" section”),
please use an official after-sales
service or a qualified professional.
If the appliance is going to be turned
off for an extended period, leave the

sales service.
Wine cellars contain refrigerant gas
and substances necessitating appropriate scrapping procedures. The
materials used for packaging, as well
as those that make up your appliance
use recyclable materials. Please take
account of this when discarding them.
Your supplier or your local council will
be able to tell you about the possibilities
for disposing of your appliance in a
way that is both suitable and respectful of the environment.
Certain components can be dangerous to the environment.
In compliance with the latest legislation concerning environmental protection, your appliance does not contain
any CFC's.
The exact type of refrigerant used in
your appliance is clearly indicated on
the identification plate situated on the
inside of your appliance, low down on
the left wall.

Your appliance must be instal-
led in compliance with the
instructions given in this "Guide
for Installation and Use" in order
to keep your wine in optimum
conditions and with optimal energy
consumption.
- The appliance should be installed in
a room that is both dry and aired.
- Avoid balconies, verandas, and
patios: the excessive heat in summer
and the cold in winter could prevent
your appliance from functioning properly, or even damage it.
- Avoid placing your appliance near a
heat source such as an oven or
radiator.
- Your appliance has been designed
for optimum functioning at a certain
ambient temperature; it is designed
for a particular "climate class". This
climate class is clearly indicated on
the identification plate
situated on the inside of your appliance, low down on the left wall. Outside
of this temperature range, the performance of your appliance may be
diminished.
Climate class Ambient temperature
SN/ST +10°C to + 38°C
- Leave a minimum distance of 3 to
5 cm at the sides between your wine
cellar and your furniture, and 10 cm
above, to maximise air circulation
around the appliance.
Position the appliance at a suitable
distance from the wall by using the
spacers provided in the accessories
packet. You should mount the
spacers on the back of the appliance.
Once your appliance is installed,
adjust its feet so that it is slightly
leaning forwards, or slightly leaning
backwards:
This will facilitate the efficiency of
door closing.
Before putting any bottles in,
clean the inside and the outside of
your appliance with a bicarbonate
of soda solution (1 dessertspoon
of bicarbonate to 4 litres of water).
Do not use alcohol, scouring powder or detergents, which could
damage the surfaces. See section
on "Cleaning your Appliance".

1- Thermostat safety indicator light (Orange light)
2- Low humidity indicator light (Yellow light)
3- Temperature indication lights (Green lights)
4- Temperature control knob
5- Lock
Putting your appliance into service
- Connect to the electricity supply.
- Set the thermostat knob to a
medium position in the ageing zone,
11° to 14° (4)
- The orange safety light (1) should
be on.
- the yellow light (2) may come on if
the humidity rate is insufficient (see
paragraph ...)
- The green light(s) is/are on, or flashing, depending on the interior temperature of the wine cellar (see anomalies table).
Thermostat safety indicator light
(1)
Your wine cellar is fitted with 2
thermostats. One is for regulation of
the temperature, the other being a
security in case the first one fails to
work.
This active security comes on as
soon as electricity is supplied to the
appliance (orange light on).
- The light must stay on. Your wine
cellar is functioning correctly when
the thermostat safety light (1) is on as
well as the regulating lights (3)
- If however only the orange light (1)
comes on, your wine cellar is opera-
ting in safety mode, guaranteeing the
maintenance of your wine at the
conservation temperature. In this
case, please refer to the paragraph
"Operational anomalies"
Humidity alarm indicator light (2)
- This light comes on when the
ambient humidity rate in your wine
cellar is too low.
- To maintain the required level of
humidity, you need to add water to
the
hydrating tray, situated at the bottom
of the unit.
Hydrating tray
- The role of the hydrating tray is to
keep water at a level that will maintain a high enough humidity rate in
the appliance and ensure that your
wine is correctly preserved
-If the humidity alarm light (2) comes
on whilst you are putting the unit into
service or during operation, add
some water to the tray.
Door lock (5)
- The lock fitted to your wine cellar
guarantees the protection of your
wines.

Adjusting the temperature
Manipulating the thermostat
The appliance is always powered.
To adjust the temperature, set the
thermostat knob to the temperature
zone required (4).
The position on the left corresponds
to the least cold temperature, and turning the knob to the right will select a
colder temperature.
The green lights (3) to the left of the
knob allow you to control the temperature to which your cellar is set.
7° to 10° - Chilling for white wines
11° to 14° - Ideal temperature for
ageing wine
15° to 18° - For bringing wine to room
temperature
Prolonged opening of the door
will cause the internal temperature
to rise.
Adjusting the temperature
- When putting your appliance into
service, set the thermostat to a
medium position (ageing zone) 11°
to 14°
- 4 hours after putting your appliance
into service, or after any change in
the thermostat setting, observe the
temperature light (3) to make sure
that your wine cellar is at the temperature you want.
Adjust the thermostat if necessary.
The internal temperature of
your wine cellar is closely linked to the ambient temperature,
the frequency of opening its door,
and the quantity and the temperature of the bottles you have put in
your wine cellar.
You must therefore check the temperature indicator and adjust the
setting if necessary, as explained
above.

Fan-cooled
Your appliance is fitted with an air
ventilation system:
- Fan-cooled: fans stir the air around
your wine cellar, creating greater
homogeneity of temperature and
avoiding the formation of condensation between the bottles.
- Apart from these everyday advantages, ventilation optimises the performance of your wine cellar during
extreme weather conditions
(e.g.: a heatwave)
To turn the fan-cooling on:
Press the "on" button.
The ventilator is not continuously
operating; its operation depends on
the internal temperature of the wine
cellar. There is therefore no cause for
concern if at a given moment the fancooling is not operating although the
button is correctly pressed down.

Marche / arrêt
Storing your bottles of wine
The method of filling your wine cellar
depends on the model you have chosen and on the number of racks
used. The quantities given are only a
guide. The bottles used for the tests
are of the Bordeaux type: 290 mm
tall, 76,5 mm in diameter (type: syndical, lightweight, medium, optima).
The maximum load is 50 bottles for
wooden racks
The label located on the top of the
appliance shows the maximum
weight that may be placed on the
shelf.
For optimum filling of your wine
cellar, we recommend that you
stack your bottles starting from the
bottom racks.
The capacity of each rack depends
on the number of racks being used.
We advise the use of small wooden
blocks to hold your bottles securely in
place.
