ECO DEMO MODE
Eco demo mode can be activated by presenting the appliance at exhibitions, shows or in salesrooms. In
eco demo mode, compressor and all fan motors are switched OFF
. By pressing and holding the “+”
and
“
-
”
(O and P) and light (K) keys at the same time for at least 3 seconds, the indicator light will flash five times
to confirm the input and the unit will operate in eco demo mode. Eco demo mode can be abandoned by
repeating the above process, be noted that compressor and fan will activate 5 minutes later (for
compressor protection reason).
6. EQUIPMENT
The climate control system
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 18°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.
The winter function
The winter function is a frost protection system which enables the cellar to operate in an environment
where the temperature is between 5 and 38°C. A sensor located outside the appliance triggers a low
power electrical element when the ambient temperature in the room falls to around 8°C in case. This is a
low power element to avoid sudden rises in the temperature of the wine and so avoid thermal shocks
that are damaging to the preservation of the wine. The kit is intended to raise the cellar’s internal
temperature even before there is a thermal exchange with the bottles.
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.
