DEFROSTING/CONDENSATION/ HYGROMETRY/ VENTILATION
Your wine cellar is designed with an “Auto-cycle” defrost system. During “Off-cycle” the
refrigerated surfaces of the wine cellar defrost automatically. Defrosted water from the
wine cellar storage compartment drains automatically and part of it goes into a drainage
container, which is located at the back of the wine cellar next to the compressor. The heat
is transferred from the compressor and evaporates any condensation that has collected in
the pan. Part of the remaining water is collected within the wine cellar for humidity
purposes.
This system enables the creation of the correct humidity level inside your wine cellar
required by the natural cork to maintain a long lasting seal.
Notes:
The water collected by condensation is therefore recycled. Under extremely dry
environmental conditions, you may have to add some water into the water container
provided with your wine cellar
.
All units are equipped with a double glazed glass door that has a third internal acrylic
layer to minimise condensation on the glass door.
The wine cellar is not totally sealed; fresh air admission is permitted through the
drainpipe. Air is circulated through the cellar by means of a fan, or fans, and the hollow
shelves.
Notes:
During the refrigerating cycle, heat is given off and disperses through the external
surfaces of the wine cellar. Avoid touching the surfaces during those cycles.
ADJUSTABLE WOODEN SHELVES
Adjusting/removing the shelves
For easy access to the storage content, you must pull the shelves approximately 1/3 of its
depth out of the rail compartment. These wine cabinets, however, are designed with a
notch on each side of the shelf tracks to prevent bottles from falling.
V26/V30/V40 models
When removing any of these shelves out of the rail compartment, tilt the shelf as per the
diagram and simply pull out, or push in the shelf until it sits on the support brackets
securely.
