beyond the fixed position to prevent the
bottles from falling.

to tilt forward if not properly installed.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT
TEMPERATURE
Your unit 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 11ºC to
14ºC. Only the temperature of “dégustation” (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
11ºC 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.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING
: Failure to unplug the appliance during
service and cleaning could result in electrical shock
or other personal injury.
REMOVING SHELVES
•
To remove any of the shelves from the rail
compartment, move the shelf to the position
where the notch of wooden shelf is exactly
under the plastic post and then lift it up and out.
•
In order to replace the shelf, repeat steps
described above in reverse. And make sure to
engage the shelves with the small pegs of the
extended rails when the model is equipped with
roller system.
HUMIDITY CONTROL
•
The appliance is equipped with a system for
maintaining the correct level of humidity. Under
extremely dry environmental conditions, you
may have to add some water into the humidity
box provided with your wine cellar.
•
Fill the small plastic reservoir (humidity box) ¾
full with water, and fit onto the runners found on
the top shelf of the appliance. Check the water
level regularly and refill as necessary.
•
Please ensure the reservoir is positioned
correctly on the runners on the top shelf to
avoid the possibility of water spillage.
