Gurgling noise: caused by the refrigerant gas circulating in the refrigeration area of the unit.
Cracking noise: resulting from the contraction and expansion of the gas to produce the cold.
The perception of noise by the individual is directly related to the environment in which the appliance is located.
Noise in normal operation is not a cause of the warranty's application.
USING YOUR APPLIANCE
1. Loading your appliance
You can load your wine bottles in single or double rows.
For loading, take note of the following: if you don't have enough bottles to completely fill your appliance,
it's best to spread the load over the entire height of the appliance to avoid a thermal imbalance at the top
or bottom of the appliance.
The balanced distribution of bottles throughout the height of the appliance is the most efficient way to use
the energy of the appliance.
The bottle capacity is expressed in bottles of the "Bordeaux" type. If larger bottles are stored, or if
additional shelves are used, the maximum bottle capacity is reduced.
To accommodate the largest type of bottle or increase the capacity of the appliance by stacking the bottles,
when necessary, the shelves must be removed or moved (see paragraph "Adjustable shelves").
Keep a gap between the bottom of the appliance and the bottles to allow air to flow. As in an underground
wine cellar, air circulation is important for a homogeneous temperature inside your wine fridge. This will
also reduce energy consumption.
Important information about the serving temperature of wine
Your appliance has been designed to allow you to set desired serving temperature of your wine. Each wine
varietal is served at a different ideal temperature.
The temperature is adjustable from 5-18 ˚C. Unless the wine producer recommends a different temperature for
your particular wine, champagne should be served at 7˚C, white wine should be served at 12˚C and red wine
should be served at 18˚C (see table in "Wine service temperatures").
Some wines can be served young (2 to 3 years), while others are much better aged (10 years and older). Each
wine peaks at a different age. Check the ideal drinking age for your wine with your wine merchant.
Setting types: Please note that depending on where your appliance is kept, how often the door is open, the
ambient temperate and the loading, the time taken to reach the set temperate varies. Usually, it takes about 24
hours for the appliance to reach the desired temperature and indicate a stable temperature on the digital display.
The temperature displayed will change when the desired temperature is adjusted or whenever a large number
of bottles are added to the appliance.
2. Loading plan
Your appliance can accommodate up to 105 bottles, of light Bordeaux type, with a stack based on three
shelves.
While loading several levels of bottles on the same shelf, please gently store your bottles in the 1st row to
prevent them from colliding with the 2nd row. Store the bottles in a "head to tail" - crossing the neck and
bottom of each bottle, so you can get close to the stated maximum capacity.
If you store larger bottles or add a shelf to more easily access of your bottles, storage capacity will be
reduced.
The way you load your appliance and the number of shelves, determines capacity. Below you will find an
explanatory diagram for loading (capacity with load "head to tail"):
