The climate control system
According to advice from specialists, the ideal temperature for storing wine is around 12°C, within a bracket of 10
to 14°C. Do not confuse this with service temperature, which varies between 5 and 18°C, depending on the
specific nature of the wine.
It is especially important to avoid sudden changes in temperature. Designed by specialists for oenophiles, this
appliance, unlike a simple refrigerator, takes into account the sensitivity of grand cru wines to sudden variations in
temperature by ensuring the close control of a constant average temperature.
The anti-vibration system:
The refrigeration compressor is equipped with special dampers (silent-blocks) and the inner space is insulated
from the body by a thick layer of polyurethane foam. These characteristics prevent the transmission of vibration to
your wines.
Defrosting:
Your appliance is equipped with an automatic defrost cycle. When a cooling cycle finishes, the appliance's
refrigerated surfaces are defrosted automatically. The defrost water is channelled into a condensates evaporation
tray which is located in the back of the appliance near the compressor. The heat produced by the compressor
then evaporates the condensates collected in the tray.
Shelves
•
To prevent damage to the door seal, ensure that the door is fully open before pulling out the shelves to add
or remove bottles.
•
For easier access to the contents of the shelves, slide the shelf out approximately one third of the way. The
shelves are, however, fitted with a stop to prevent the bottles falling out.
•
To remove a shelf: pull it out until the cut-outs on the rack (right and left) are positioned under the side stops
(square black plastic part). Lift up and pull outwards.
