a new one.
4. Replace the filter cap following the
indications in points 1 and 2.
Replacement filters may be
requested from authorised service
centres.
33
Use
Noises during operation
The wine cellar is cooled by means of a
compression system. In order to maintain
the preset temperature inside the wine
cellar, the compressor comes into operation
in response to the level of cooling required,
and may operate continuously if necessary.
When the compressor starts up a humming
sound will be heard, tending to drop in
volume after a few minutes.
Another normal wine cellar operating noise
is a gurgling due to the refrigerant flowing
through the pipes in the circuit. This noise is
normal and does not indicate an appliance
malfunction.
Turning the appliance off
Whenever the appliance is to remain
unused for long periods, it should be
switched off.
1. Press and hold the ON/OFF key on
the control panel for a few seconds until
the appliance turns off.
2. Unplug the appliance from the wall
socket.
3. Empty the wine cellar.
4. Dry any residual moisture which has
accumulated with a soft cloth.
5. Leave the door ajar to prevent the
humidity and trapped air from creating
unpleasant smells.
3.6 Food storage advice

wine at its best, it should be stored and
drunk at a specific temperature. The
recommended temperatures for different
kinds of wines are given below.

Mature whites 12°C - 14°C
Young, light rosés 10°C - 12°C

Use
White wines
White wines are generally more acidic than
reds and contain less tannin. To be enjoyed
at its best, an acidic drink should usually be
stored at a slightly lower temperature than
other types, and so these wines should be
stored at a temperature between 10°C
and 14°C.
Young, fresh, aromatic white wines can be
served at a temperature as low as 10°C,
while for less aromatic wines 12°C is
recommended. For full, mature white wines
which have aged in the bottle for a few
years, higher temperatures are acceptable
and they can be served at between 12°C
and 14°C.
Serving a white wine at a higher
temperature means emphasising its “sweet”
properties, while the acidity and sharpness
considered pleasant and desirable in wines
of this kind will be less noticeable.
Rosé wines
Generally, the rules for serving rosé wines
are the same as for whites. However, it is
important to consider these wines' tannin
content and serve them at a higher
temperature if necessary so that their flavour
is not too sharp. Tannin content permitting,
young, fresh rosé wines are served
between 10°C and 12°C, while more
robust, full-bodied types, including more
mature wines, can be served between
12°C and 14°C.
Red wines
The serving temperature for red wines
depends on a great deal of factors, but in
view of their higher tannin and lower acidity
than whites, they are usually served at
higher temperatures. Young red wines with
low tannin are usually served between 14°
and 16°C, while for more full-bodied types
16°C or in exceptional cases even 18°C
may be recommended.
Young red wines with low tannin and a
fairly uncomplicated structure can be
served at between 12°C and 14°C
without tasting too sharp, and will still be
very pleasant. This rule applies to
“nouveau” wines, made by a special
method which reduces their tannin content;
they can be appreciated to the full at cooler
temperatures than other red wines.
EN
35
Use
Sparkling wines
In view of the large number of types of
sparkling wines on the market, there would
be little sense in laying down one rule to fit
them all. Sweet, aromatic white sparkling
wines can be served at a temperature as
low as 8°C. Their aromatic nature means
they are excellent at low temperatures.
Sweet red sparkling wines such as
Brachetto may be served at temperatures
between 10°C and 12°C. Here again, the
more aromatic sparkling wines are suitable
for lower temperatures, even down to 8°C,
while those with a slightly higher tannin
content require temperatures as high as
14°C.
Dry sparkling wines made by the “Charmat
method” or “Martinotti method”, such as
some Prosecco wines, can be served at
temperatures between 8°C and 10°C.
Sparkling wines made by the “traditional
method” and the “méthode Champenoise”,
such as Champagne, require special
consideration: in general these sparkling
wines are served at temperatures between
8°C and 10°C. However, for prestige
wines marked with the vintage, or sparkling
wines that have been aged for a long time,
even 12°C may be advisable to allow the
development of the complex bouquet that
has been slowly and painstakingly built up
over the years.
Dessert wines and fortified wines
These two types of wine generally both
contain a high alcohol percentage and
they are both often also sweet. However,
there are dry dessert wines, such as
Marsala, with a sugar content so low as to
be almost imperceptible on the palate. For
these wines, the serving temperature
depends on which features you wish to
emphasise. If you prefer to accentuate the
wine's sweetness, the complexity of its
bouquet and its austerity, it should be
served at a high temperature, between
14°C and 18°C. Remember that in this
case its alcohol content will also be more in
evidence.
If you require a fresher sensation, or to
reduce the sweetness of over-sweet wines,
serve at a lower temperature, between
10°C and 14°C.
Young, fresh, dry dessert wines can be
served at colder temperatures, below
10°C. This makes the alcohol content
considerably less noticeable. However,
remember that as the temperature is
reduced the bouquet also becomes less
evident. One of these wines' key
characteristics is the charm and complexity
of their bouquet; serving them too cold also
means sacrificing this important feature.
