LOADING YOUR WINE COOLER
You may load your wine bottles in single or double rows while taking the following into consideration: If you do
not have enough bottles to fill your wine cooler entirely, it is better to distribute the load evenly throughout the
wine cooler so as to avoid “all on top” or “all below” type loads.
You can remove or relocate adjustable wooden shelves to accommodate larger type of bottles or increase the
capacity of the cabinet by stacking the bottles up when necessary. (See: Removing shelves)
Keep smalls gap between the interior walls and the bottles to allow air circulation. Like an underground cellar air
circulation is important to prevent mould and for a better homogeneous temperature within the cellar.
Do not overload your wine cooler.
Avoid obstructing the internal fans (located inside on the back panel of the wine cooler).
Avoid pulling the shelves outwards beyond the fixed position due to risk of the bottles from falling.
Do not pull out more than one loaded shelf at a time as this may cause the wine cooler to tilt forward.
Do not cover the wooden shelves with aluminium foil or other materials, as it will obstruct air circulation.
Do not move your wine cooler while it is loaded with bottles. This might distort the cabinet of the wine cooler.
After the first loading
Please note that depending on the loading and settings chosen it takes about 24 hours for the wine cooler to see
the temperature stabilizing.
During this time the LED-temperature display seems to move erratically. This is normal and this process occurs
whenever the setting is modified and/or whenever a large number of bottles are added to the cellar.
TEMPERATURE SETTINGS
Important: The LED-display indicates by default the actual internal air temperature.
The electrical circuit board of all models comes with memory function. All settings will return to the pre-set
temperature after power is restored.
NOTICE!
It is important to understand that there is a difference between the air temperature inside the wine cooler and
the actual temperature of the wine.
Once the temperature is set, it is strongly advised to let it settle and not adjusting it frequently. You will need to
wait approximately 24 hours before noticing the effects of temperature adjustment due to the mass, volume and
density of a full wine cooler.
The thermostat will maintain the temperature inside the wine cooler 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 0.5ºC to 1ºC.
