2. Align the handle with the screws and tighten the screws until the handle is both flush
and secured tightly against the door frame (DO NOT over-tighten as this will cause
damage to the handle assembly and door glass surface.
3. Restore the door gasket into its original position to finish handle installation.
4. EQUIPMENT
The climate control system
According to advice from specialists, the ideal temperature for storing wine is around 12°C,
within a bracket of 10 to 14°C. Do not confuse this with service temperature, which varies
between 5 and 18°C, depending on the specific nature of the wine.
It is especially important to avoid sudden changes in temperature. Designed by specialists
for oenophiles, this appliance, unlike a simple refrigerator, takes into account the
sensitivity of grand cru wines to sudden variations in temperature by ensuring the close
control of a constant average temperature.
The anti-vibration system:
The refrigeration compressor is equipped with special dampers (silent-blocks) and the
inner space is insulated from the body by a thick layer of polyurethane foam. These
characteristics prevent the transmission of vibration to your wines.
Defrosting:
Your appliance is equipped with an automatic defrost cycle. When a cooling cycle finishes,
the appliance’s refrigerated surfaces are defrosted automatically. The defrost water is
channeled into a condensates evaporation tray which is located in the back of the
appliance near the compressor. The heat produced by the compressor then evaporates
the condensates collected in the tray.
5.LOADING
The maximum recommended loading quantities for bottles are given as guidelines and
are indicative only; they provide a quick estimate of the size of the appliance (similar to
the capacity of a refrigerator expressed in litres).
They correspond to tests conducted with a standard bottle: the standard “75 cl light
Bordeaux” bottle - standards apply the geographical origin of each bottle shape
(Bordeaux, Burgundy, Provence, etc.) and a type (traditional, heavy, light, flute, etc.), each
with its own diameter and height.
In reality and in extreme cases, you could store more bottles by stacking the same type of
