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 20°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.
The anti-UV system
Light accelerates the ageing of wine. In our solid door cellars, your wines are naturally protected, on condition, of course, that
the door is not opened too often. This glass-door model has been specially treated and filters out harmful ultraviolet rays, thus
ensuring your wines are perfectly shielded.
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.
Shelves
•
To prevent damage to the door seal, ensure that the door is fully open before pulling out the shelves to add or remove
bottles.
•
For easier access to the contents of the shelves, slide the shelf out approximately one third of the way. The shelves are,
however, fitted with a stop to prevent the bottles falling out.
•
To remove or reposition the shelves, move the shelf to the position where the notch of wooden shelf is exactly under the
plastic post and lift the wooden shelf. Please ensure these are replaced when the shelf is put back.
7. 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 liters).
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 bottle without using shelves, but a varied cellar comprises a wide variety of bottles and the practical aspect of everyday cellar
management limits its capacity. You will therefore probably load the appliance a little less than the recommended maximum.
