BEFORE USING YOUR WINE CELLAR

The appliance you have purchased is a wine cellar (or wine-cooler), a professional product designed exclusively for storing wine.

To get the most out of your new appliance, read the user instructions thoroughly. They describe the appliance in full and provide useful wine storage tips.

Keep this handbook for future consultation.

1. After unpacking the appliance, make sure that

the door shuts properly. Any damage must be reported to your dealer within 24 hours after delivery of the appliance.

2. Wait at least two hours before connecting the appliance to the power supply in order to ensure the refrigerant circuit is fully efficient.

3. Installation of the appliance and electrical

connections must be carried out by a qualified electrician, in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and local regulations.

SAFEGUARDING THE ENVIRONMENT

1. Packing

The packaging material is entirely recyclable, and marked with the recycling symbol. Follow local regulations for scrapping. Keep the packaging materials (plastic bags, polystyrene parts, etc.) out of reach of children, as they are potentially dangerous.

2. Appliance

The appliance is made using recyclable materials. Disposal must be carried out in accordance with local environmental regulations for waste disposal. Make the appliance unusable by cutting off the power cord. The appliance must be delivered to an authorised collection centre for the recovery of refrigerant gas.

PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

• The wine cellar must be used solely and

exclusively for storing wine; do not place any type of food inside it.

• Do not cover or obstruct the air vents of the appliance.

• Do not allow children to play or hide inside the appliance - risk of becoming trapped and suffocating.

• Before servicing or cleaning the appliance, unplug it from the mains or disconnect the electrical power supply.

• The power cable may only be replaced by an authorised person.

Information Appliances with Isobutane (R600a)

Isobutane is a natural gas with low environmental impact. Caution is required, however, since isobutane is flammable. Therefore, it is essential to ensure that refrigerant pipelines are not damaged.

Important:

• If a large number of bottles are placed in the

cellar at the one time, it may take a few days before a constant temperature is reached.

• Important! Storage temperature must never drop below +6 °C

• When in operation, water droplets and frost form on the walls of the cellar. These are part of normal operation. You don't have to remove the frost or dry the water droplets. The rear wall is defrosted automatically. The defrost water is automatically routed to a drain outlet and into a container from which it evaporates.

• The bottles can be neatly stored on the wooden racks. Each rack should not be used to hold more than 40 Kg.

Bottle arrangement tips

• Place the bottles in the middle of the rack.

• On closing the door, make sure the bottles don't

touch the glass.

• Important: spirits and liqueurs should be airtight and stored in the upright position.

• Do not use the appliance to store explosive substances.

• The temperature may vary in different areas inside the appliance due to the circulating air: it is colder closest to the rear wall and warmer beside the glass door.

• Remove bottles from packaging, do not store them inside crates or boxes.

• Maximum holding capacities for classic 0.75l bordolese bottles are as follows: h 1400 mm holds 111 bottles, h 1600 mm holds 131 bottles.

• Recommended holding capacities for classic 0.75 l Bordolese bottles are as follows: h 1400 mm holds 88 bottles, h 1600 mm holds 101 bottles. In any event, the h 1400 structure is capable of holding up to 111 bottles and h 1600 up to 131 bottles (Bordolese bottles).
