Using the wine cellar
Bottle ageing compartment
The ageing compartment's main function is that of
guaranteeing that your wines are preserved in optimal
conditions.
The wine cellar's temperature was factory pre-set at 15°
C, a temperature that is considered optimal for most
wines.
Wine has a complex nature and it derives from a long
and slow process. In order to best express its attributes,
very specific conditions are necessary.
All wines are preserved at the same temperature, but,
depending on their different characteristics, wines are
served and tasted at very different temperatures.
Therefore, just as for manufacturers' wine cellars, for
your new appliance, the absolute temperature value
is not important for preserving your wine. Rather, the
constant temperature through time is important. Wine
preservation is ideal at any temperature, as long as that
temperature does not vary.
Manual temperature control
Should you need to adjust the temperature inside the
wine cellar, follow the instructions below:
1. When you plug in your wine cellar, the display shows
the temperature that has been set
2. Press the
button (
see Control Panel
) for one
second. The temperature will begin to blink.
3. Press the
or
buttons until you reach the
desired temperature.
4. Wait 5 seconds for the temperature to stop blinking.
5. Wait until the wine cellar reaches its temperature
before you place the wine bottles inside.
The inside light does not go on (or it goes off temporarily)
when the inside temperature goes over 24° C. This
allows you to reach the pre-set temperature more
quickly.
Taking out the wooden shelves
WARNING:
The wooden shelves are not sliding. Do not take them
out when loaded with bottles, to prevent the risk of the
bottles breaking.
You can take the shelves out for cleaning only when
they are not loaded with any bottles.
