Fan-cooled
Your appliance is fitted with an air
ventilation system:
-
Fan-cooled:
fans stir the air around
your wine cellar, creating greater
homogeneity of temperature and
avoiding the formation of condensa-
tion between the bottles.
- Apart from these everyday advan-
tages, ventilation optimises the per-
formance of your wine cellar during
extreme weather conditions
(e.g.: a heatwave)
To turn the fan-cooling on:
Press the "on" button.
The ventilator is not continuously
operating; its operation depends on
the internal temperature of the wine
cellar. There is therefore no cause for
concern if at a given moment the fan-
cooling is not operating although the
button is correctly pressed down.

Storing your bottles of wine
The method of filling your wine cellar
depends on the model you have cho-
sen and on the number of racks
used. The quantities given are only a
guide. The bottles used for the tests
are of the Bordeaux type: 290 mm
tall, 76,5 mm in diameter (type: syndi-
cal, lightweight, medium, optima) In
the version fitted with wire racks, the
material is flexible. Depending on the
method used to fill the rack, it can
bend. This has however no negative
impact on the storage of your bottles
of wine.
The maximum load varies depending
on the type of racks used:
Wire racks: 55 bottles
Wooden racks: 50 bottles
The label located on
the top of the appliance
shows the maximum
weight that may be pla-
ced on the shelf.
For optimum filling of
your wine cellar, we
recommend that you
stack your bottles
starting from the bot-
tom racks.
The capacity of each rack depends
on the number of racks being used.
We advise the use of small wooden
blocks to hold your bottles securely in
place.
