Operating Conditions
Before installing your cabinet read these instructions carefully.
OPERATING CONDITIONS
The WINCAVE cabinet you recently purchased is a maturation cabinet. It is therefore fitted with both cold
and warm circuits. The ideal temperature is 12°C/14°C.
When the temperature inside the cabinet is above the set temperature, the COLD circuit is activated. When
it falls below the set temperature, the WARM circuit automatically starts heating up.
You therefore obtain the programmed temperature.
THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE RANGE IS FROM 5 to 35°C
INSTALLATION
The WINCAVE cabinet should not be positioned next to a significant warm source or in a very humid
environment. Make sure that your cabinet is properly levelled. A surrounding air circulation is
recommended, to optimise efficiency.
You need to adjust the front feet to ensure that your cabinet is properly levelled.
The nominal power should be 220V – 50Hv (voltage between 198/242V). You need to have an efficient
earth (15 amp).
CABINET DESCRIPTION

Connecting and temperature setting
WARNING: YOU MUST WAIT 48 hours after unpacking and positioning your cabinet before switching
on. After plugging in, load your cabinet step by step.
THE BOTTLES MUST NOT BE IN CONTACT WITH THE BACK OF THE CABINET to maintain air
circulation around the bottles.
YOUR CELLAR TEMPERATURE
Depending on your WINCAVE model, your cabinet is fitted with the smart handle, equipped with one of
the following two electronic regulations (French patent no. 9106156).
Smart Handle Mono T° with the <LED security + >
The ideal temperature for wine storage is between 12°C and 14°C.
The temperature is pre-set and needs no adjustment.
YOU HAVE NOTHING TO DO.
Smart Handle Amphora with display and the <LED security +>
The temperature is adjustable by using the external display.
You can select between 10°C and 16°C.
HOW TO ADJUST THE TEMPERATURE RANGE, AMPHORA MODEL.
When the cabinet is first plugged in, the temperature is pre-set at a fixed 14°C. The display indicates for 3
seconds the set temperature. Then it displays the current internal temperature. Pressing on the < plus >
or < minus > keys will display the set temperature level. After releasing the keys the current interior
temperature is displayed again. Pressing the < plus > or < minus > keys at the same time for 3 seconds will
enable you to reach the programming mode.
For the first 3 seconds the display shows a flashing “P”.
After 3 seconds, the display shows the set temperature (flashing). You can adjust the value by pressing the
< plus > or < minus > keys.
After 3 seconds, without pressing any key, the temperature is automatically registered and the current
interior temperature is shown again.
In case of power failure, the set temperature is stored in the programme’s memory and will be used as soon
as power is re-established.
