Operating Your Wine Cellar
5
Some guidelines for optimum wine storage:
• Fill the cabinet from the bottom up, evenly spreading the wine
across all the shelves. Do not overload. Keep small gaps
between the walls and the bottles to allow air circulation.
Air circulation is important to prevent mould and promotes a
more homogeneous temperature.
• Lay the bottles flat.
• Do not cross contaminate. Store only wine in your wine cellar
to ensure that the environment is odor free.
• Only store wine in unopened bottles. Storing opened bottles
may result in spillage.
Temperature Alarm
An alarm will sound if the temperature falls outside the set
temperature range. The temperature display will flash at the
same time. The temperature the appliance is set to determines
the temperature the unit recognizes as being too warm or
too cool. Once the set temperature has been reached in the
appliance, the alarm stops and the relevant temperature display
stops flashing.
The alarm will sound (periodically) and the
temperature display will flash:
• When you switch the appliance on, if the temperature inside
the appliance is very different from the set temperature.
• When there has been a lengthy interruption to the power
supply.
• When too many bottles have been put into the unit at one
time.
• When the door is not been closed tightly.
You can disable the audio alarm if you wish
by touching the ON/OFF key once. The
temperature display will continue to flash until
the set temperature has been reached.
Door Alarm
• If the door has been left open for more than
60 seconds, the alarm will sound periodically.
• You can disable the alarm if you wish by
touching the ON/OFF key once. The alarm
will reset when the door is closed.
Dynamic Climate/Silent Mode
Dynamic climate mode distributes the relative humidity and
temperature inside the unit evenly through the interior so that all
bottle are stored under the same conditions. Dynamic climate
mode turns on the interior fan, which circulates the inside air
evenly. The unit comes from the factory with dynamic climate
mode set to off due to additional energy consumption.
• To change to dynamic climate mode, touch
and hold the
DOWN
key for approximately
five seconds. The wine cellar will beep to
confirm dynamic climate mode is on.
Sabbath Mode
Sabbath mode is available for the observance of certain
religious holidays. This mode turns off the displays, interior light
and audible alarms and prevents them from turning on again.
Normal cooling operations will continue to take place.
• To initiate Sabbath mode, touch and hold the ON/OFF and
LIGHT keys at the same time for about 5 seconds.
ON/OFF key LIGHT key
• The indicator light (dot at the bottom right of the display) will
flash four times to confirm the Sabbath mode is on.
• Sabbath mode can be canceled by repeating the above
steps.
• The Sabbath mode will automatically cancel after 96 hours.
Energy Saving Tips
• Should the wine cooler be left empty for long periods of time,
it is suggested that the appliance is unplugged, and after
careful cleaning, leave the door ajar to allow air to circulate
inside the cabinet in order to avoid possible condensation,
mold or odors forming.
• Only open the door for as long as necessary and for as short
a time as possible.
• To change back to silent mode (dynamic
climate mode off), touch and hold the UP
key for approximately five seconds. The
wine cellar will beep to confirm silent mode
is on.
