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 20°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 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.
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.
•
To remove or reposition the shelves, move the shelf to the position where the notch of wooden shelf is
exactly under the plastic post and lift the wooden shelf. Please ensure these are replaced when the shelf
is put back.
