in. Before the power is connected, make sure of the  
following:  
Energy Consumption 0,9 kWh / 24h

the wall-outlet should be sufficiently rated to supply  
the wine cellar's maximum power consumption,  
indicated in the Technical Information on the right or  
on the wine cellar's data plate on the bottom right  
(see Product Description);

Using the wine cellar  
Bottle ageing compartment  
Manual temperature control  
GB  
The ageing compartment's main function is that of  
guaranteeing that your wines are preserved in optimal  
conditions.  
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 UP 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 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 (see  
the Table of ideal wine 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.  
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.

Table of ideal wine temperatures  
GB  
This table indicates the approximate temperatures at which wine should be served. Should one of your wines need  
to be served at a temperature that is greater than the temperature inside your wine cellar, we suggest that you leave  
it wine out for the time that is necessary before you serve it.

Stocking the wine bottles  
Some stocking configurations  
Standard 36-bottle stock  
GB  
PRESERVATION  
44 Bottles  
(100% lying down)  
1 shelf  
The 36-bottle stock (for standard, mixed, and renana  
bottles) is recommended for wines that need to be  
visible and easily removed.  
STANDARD  
36 Bottles  
(100% lying down)  
5 shelves  
SERVICE  
42 Bottles (50% lying  
down, 50% standing)  
3 shelves  
Position each bottle into the slots on the 5 wooden  
shelves. 6 bottles can be placed on the bottom of the  
wine cellar.  
! The wooden shelves have a special blocking system  
so that your bottles do not accidentally fall and break.  
4 rows  
}
}
We suggest you place the Renana bottles onto the  
lower shelf and the bottom of the wine cellar because  
they have been specially designed to hold larger  
bottles.  
MAXIMUM STOCK  
46 Bottles (48% lying  
down, 52% standing)  
1 shelf  
! The wooden shelf can  
safely hold up to 22  
bottles.  
4 rows  
Champagne bottle stock  
Champagne bottles are larger than standard bottles.  
They must be placed onto the base of the wine cellar,  
which can hold up to 5.  
If you want to stock more than 5 Champagne bottles in  
your wine cellar, remove the 5th shelf and stock the  
bottles in two rows (placing the bottles in the second  
row between those on the bottom row). This will hold  
up to 9 bottles.  
6
Removing the wooden shelves  
GB  
Follow the instructions below to remove the wooden  
shelves:  
1. Hold the front part of the shelf with one hand.  
2. With the other hand push the back of the shelf  
upward.  
3. Slowly remove the shelf by pulling it toward you. Pull  
out the shelf by 1/3 of the way if you need to remove  
or replace bottles.  
4. Remove or replace the bottles you need and push  
the shelf back, making sure it locks into place.  
5. Make sure the shelf is in place by trying to pull it out  
once again. If it moves, push it back in again until it is  
securely in place.  
To completely remove the shelf, follow step 1 and 2  
and remove all bottles that on the shelf. Slowly pull the  
shelf toward you until you remove it from its slots.  
! Do not, under any circumstances, remove more than  
one shelf at a time.  
For a small number of bottles  
If you do not need to store enough bottles to fill the  
entire wine cellar, we suggest that you divide them up  
between the available shelves and that you do not  
place them all on top or on the bottom.  
Place the bottles in the centre of the shelves to see  
them better from the outside.

Disconnecting the wine cellar  
During cleaning and maintenance, it is imperative that you unplug the wine cellar  
Troubleshooting  
If you notice that your wine cellar is not working properly, check with the following list before you call your  
Service Centre.  
Problem  
Possible causes/solutions  
The compressor does not work  
• The plug is not plugged into the wall-outlet or not enough to make contact.  
Or, there could be a power failure in your home.  
• The wall-outlet is not in working order. Plug the wine cellar into another  
wall-outlet to check.  
The compressor never stops  
• Contact the Service Centre  
! For a longer life of the product, check your wine cellar regularly so that any problems can be caught in time.  
! Any work that is done to the wine cellar should be performed by your authorized local Service Centre.  
! Brief power shortages do not affect wine preservation. Damage to wine will occur only when operational or  
hygrometry problems are left unchecked for a long time.
