Press the up button

and the down button

to adjust the temperature. The button will scroll the temperature by one

degree increments. Once you see the desired temperature, stop pressing the button. After about 5 seconds, the set
temperature will revert to the current temperature.

To turn ON / OFF the lights:

There are two lights in the wine cabinet. The top light is controlled by the light button.

You need to press the button to turn on or off the top light.
For lights, the factory is set to turn on the lights automatically and gradually when you open the door. When you close
the door, the lights will go out automatically. If you keep the side light on, 1) open the door, 2) open the panel, 3) press
the "light" button to turn off the light, 4) press it again. From then on, the light will remain on.

If you want to recover the factory setting, 1) open the door 2) unlock the panel 3) turn the side lights OFF. When you
open the door again, it will turn on automatically and gradually.

To change the temperature display:

The temperature displayed can be in Fahrenheit or Celsius. Press the

button to switch between °F and °C.

Service and Preservation Temperature

It is recommended you install the wine cellar in a place where the ambient temperature is between 19ºC-24ºC (66ºF-
75ºF). If the ambient temperature is above or below recommended temperatures, the performance of the unit may be
affected. For example, placing your unit in extreme cold or hot conditions may cause interior temperatures to fluctuate.
The range of 5ºC-20ºC (41ºF-72ºF) may not be reached.

Temperature Settings

IMPORTANT:

The LED displays by default the actual internal air temperature.

The temperature settings are pre-set at the factory as follows. In the event of a power interruption, all previous
temperature settings are automatically erased and it will revert to the pre-set temperature settings. The electrical
board of all models comes with memory function.

It is important to understand that there is a difference between the air temperature inside the wine cellar and the actual
temperature of the wine: You will need to wait approximately 12 hours before noticing the effects of temperature
adjustment due to the critical mass within a full wine cellar.

Once the temperature is set, it is strongly advised not to toy with it or adjust frequently. The thermostat will maintain
the temperature inside the wine cellar within a +/- 2.5ºC range. But the thermal inertia of the wine and the glass is
such that within this temperature range, the actual temperature of the wine will only fluctuate from 0.5ºC to 1ºC.

IMPORTANT:

This wine cellar has been designed to guarantee optimum conditions for storing and/or serving your

wines. Fine wines require long and gentle developments and need specific conditions in which to reach their full
potential.

All wines mature at the same temperature, which is a constant temperature set between 12ºC to 14ºC. Only the
temperature of “degustation” (wine appreciation) varies according to the type of wines (see “Wine Serving
Temperature Chart” above). This being said and as it is for natural cellars used by wine producers for long period of
storage, it is not the exact temperature that is important, but its consistency. In other words, as long as the
temperature of your wine cellar is constant (between 12ºC to 14ºC) your wines will be stored in perfect conditions.

Not all wines will improve over the years. Some should be consumed at an early stage (2 to 3 years) while others
have tremendous ageing capability (50 and over). All wines have a peak in maturity. Do check with your wine
merchant to get the relevant information.
