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.
Replacing light:
This appliance consists of light-emitting diodes(LEDs). This type of diode cannot be changed by the
consumer. The lifetime of these LEDs is normally sufficient for no change to be made. If however, and
despite all the care taken during the manufacture of your wine cellar, the LEDs were defective, please
contact your after-sales service for any intervention.
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 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.
