7.1 Lighting
To provide optimum interior lighting, LED strips illuminate the refrigerator compartment from the top and sets of LED lights directly illuminate different areas of the refrigerator compartment, of the Crisper-Fresco drawers and the freezer drawer.
In case of malfunction and/or failure of the light­ing system, you should contact an authorized Fh­iaba Service Agent.
Note
Once activated, the light of the top com­partment will automatically shut off after 6 hours.
8.1 Use of the TriMode compartment
The TriMode compartment, used in conjunction with the Wine Cellar and Cantina compartment, allows great flexibility in the use of the appliance. Some possible uses:
Freezer mode
> Liquors, such as vodka, gin, tequila, schnapps,
limoncello and the glasses to serve them
> Rapid cooling of beverages, by activating the
bottle cooler function
> Storage of large amounts of ice.
Refrigerator mode
> As expansion of the Wine Cellar or of the Can-
tina
> For refrigeration of beer and soft drinks > For storage of cold dishes and snacks.
Cooler mode
> For conservation of ham, salmon > gourmet preparations.
It comes without saying that, the compartment can be used in a traditional manner. Suggestions and instructions are provided to oer you best conser­vation of your food over time in complete safety.
9.1 General directions
As is known, wine can be stored for long periods of time if this is done under the following condi­tions:
> Suitable temperature without appreciable vari-
ations over time
> Controlled level of humidity > Protection from light > Absence of noise and vibrations > Absence of odours > Bottle kept horizontal.
All of these conditions are fully met in the Fhiaba Wine Cellar.
9.2 Conservation temperature
The space offered by the Wine Cellar and Cantina compartments, which can be expanded as neces­sary by using the TriMode compartment as a wine cellar, allows conservation of your best wines at three different temperatures.
The three compartments are initially set to the following temperatures:
> Cantina compartment
+12° C (53 ° F) - adjustable from +4° C to +18° C (from 39° F to 64° F)
> Wine Cellar compartment
+10° C (50° F) - adjustable from +4° C to +18° C (from 39° F to 64° F)
> TriMode drawer
-18° (0° F) - adjustable from -13° C to -23° C (from 9° F to -11° F) (freezer mode)
To transform the TriMode compartment into a wine cellar space, you must access the Menu, set it as a refrigerator compartment, and adjust it to a temperature between +4° C and +8° C (from
39.2° F to 46.4° F).
All the temperatures can be modified accord­ing to the characteristics of the wines and per­sonal preferences. However, you should attempt to keep the temperature as constant as possible over time.
Rapid and large-scale temperature variations can in fact cause dilation of the liquid and early aging of the wine.
You should also avoid very low temperatures (be­low 1° C - 34° F ) which may lead to the formation of deposits and damage the aesthetic qualities of the wine.
All the compartments offer optimal conditions and take into account all these needs. It should however be noted that the Cantina compartment, in particular, is thermostatically controlled in a very precise manner and ensures the utmost care and attention over time of your most prized bottles. When the Cantina compartment is set be­low +10° C (50° F) the Wine Cellar must not be set beyond +12° C (53° F).

9.3 Time of conservation
Improvement of wine over time and its duration usually depends on the character of the variety and its type. The following chart shows the best period of conservation and aging for various types in ideal con­servation conditions offered by your appliance.
However, you should always follow the instructions of the winemaker, especially for fine wines.
TYPE OF WINE CONSERVATION TEMPERATURE TIME OF CONSERVATION
New wines (Vin Nouveau) from 12° to 14° C 6 months
Sweet sparkling wines from 8° to 10° C 1 year
Rosé from 10° to 14° C 1 year
Semi-sparkling wines from 10° to 12° C 1 - 2 years
Normal white wines from 10° to 14° C 1 - 2 years
Light red wines from 12° to 14° C 2 years
Dry sparkling wines from 8° to 10° C 2 years
Classic sparkling wines from 8° to 10° C 3 - 4 years
Barrique and Vigorous white wines from 8° to 12° C 3 - 5 years
Normal red wines from 14° to 16° C 3 - 5 years
Barrique and Vigorous red wines from 14° to 18° C 7 - 10 years
Straw wines or Liquorous wines from 16° to 18° C 10 - 15 years
9.4 Consumption temperature
As a general rule, white wines should be served at a temperature between 10 and 12° C (50 and 53,6°F) and red wines between 12 and 14° C (53,6 and 57,2°F). Some wines may however be best enjoyed at higher or lower temperatures.
You should also keep in mind that, during the summer, wine is generally enjoyed at lower tem­peratures than during the winter. You should also consider the following:
White wines
White wines are normally not served at high tem­peratures, since they are generally more acidic that red wines and not very tannic. Therefore they are more enjoyable at low temperatures. It is preferable to serve these wines between 10° C and 14° C (50°F and 57,2°F). Young, fresh and aromatic wines can also be served at 10° C (50°F), while less aromatic ones are served at 12° C (53,6°F). Temperatures between 12° C and 14° C (53,6°F and 57,2°F) are for soft, mature white wines that have been aged for some years in the bottle. Higher temperatures would favour the exaltation of the sweet character of the wine, at the expense of the acidity and flavour, which are considered pleasant and desirable characteristics of this type of wine.
Rosé
Rosé wine is served at the same temperature as white wines. It should be noted that these wines may include a certain amount of tannin and may therefore be preferable at higher temperatures. Therefore, they are served between 10° C and 12° C (50°F and 53,6°F), if young and fresh, and between 12° C and 14° C (53,6°F and 57,2°F) if robust and mature.
New wines (Vin Nouveau)
Due to the special processing they undergo, new vintage wines contain a low tannin content and are therefore more enjoyable if served between 12° C and 14° C (53,6 and 57,2°F).
Red wines
Since they contain more tannin and are less acid­ic, red wines are normally served at higher tem-
peratures. Younger wines with less tannin are normally served between 14° C and 16° C (57,2 and 60,8°F), while more full-bodied ones that are more tan­nic may be served at up to 18° C (64,4°F). Some wines that have aged for years in the bottle, still full-bodies and tannic, may be served at 18°C (64,4°F) or even 20° C (68°F). Young red wines with little tannin and slightly structured may be enjoyable at lower tempera­tures, between 12° C and 14° C (53,6 and 57,2°F).
Sparkling wines
It is difficult to provide instructions to cover the wide variety of sparkling wines in available. As a general rule, sweeter and more aromatic sparkling wines should be served at lower tem­peratures, down to 8° C (46,4°F), whereas more tannic sparkling wines may be served at higher temperatures, up to 14° C (57,2°F). Dry sparkling wines are usually served between 8° C and 10° C (46,4 and 50°F). “Classic” sparkling wines are normally served at these temperatures, which may be as high as 12° C (53,6°F) for sparkling wines that have been aged for some time. It is however advisable, especially for finer wines, to follow the suggestions and recommendations of the winemaker on the bottle.
Liqueur and straw wines
These types of wines can be served at tempera­tures between 16° C and 18° C (60,8 and 64,4°F), depending on personal tastes, to attenuate the sweet taste of straw wines, it can also be served at 10° C (50°F).
9.5 Position of bottles
The sliding shelves are made of fine wood and contoured so as to hold bottles of the most clas­sical traditional shape or of the most modern design.

12.1 Troubleshooting guide
If you notice malfunctions in your appliance, use this guide before calling Service. This guide may help you resolve the problem yourself or could provide important information to ensure rapid and effective service.
Malfunction message
A malfunction is usually indicated on the display. Problems that cannot be resolved by the user are signalled through a malfunction code.
The appliance does not work
Is the appliance connected to the electrical pow­er supply? Does electrical power arrive at the electrical socket? Is the Unit key activated? Is the condenser clean?
The internal temperatures are higher than normal
Does the display show a malfunction code? Is the temperature adjusted correctly? Is the condenser clean? Were the doors or drawers open for a long period of time? Were large quantities of food recently inserted?
The appliance remains in function for a long time period
Bear in mind that during a very hot weather and with very high temperatures in the room it is nor­mal that the compressor remains in operation for
prolonged periods of time. Were the doors or drawers open for a long period of time? Were large quantities of food recently inserted? Is the condenser clean? Check that the doors are closed and that the food or containers do not obstruct the perfect closure of the door.
If you hear strange noises
It is normal to hear noise from the fans or com­pressors during the defrost phase. Noise could be louder depending on the position of the appliance and the surrounding environ­ment.
Condensation forms both inside and out
If the climate is very humid, the formation of con­densation is normal. Opening the door or draw­ers for prolonged periods of time can contribute to the formation of condensation. In any case, make sure that the doors are always perfectly closed.
The Refrigerator or Freezer has frost or ice
Did you leave the doors open for a long period of time? Do the doors close perfectly? If the doors do not close perfectly, contact your installer.
Unpleasant odours inside the refrigerator
Clean the appliance completely as indicated in this manual. Hermetically cover all the food. Do not conserve food for prolonged periods of time.
The doors are difficult to open
The appliance was designed to permit hermetic closure. When the door is closed, a vacuum situation can occur: in this case it is necessary to wait a few seconds until the pressure balances before open­ing the door.
