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
