We see here 4 kinds of 75 cl wine bottles: Burgundy and Bordeaux wine bottles of different
dimensions. There are many others of all shapes and sizes. You will note the storage differences
depending on bottle heights, diameters and alternating position method.
For example, if a wine cellar is loaded only with Burgundy wine bottles, there will be approximately
30% fewer bottles than the initial quantity calculated for Bordeaux bottles.

7. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning your appliance (something that should be done regularly), disconnect it by removing
the plug or by pulling the fuse on the circuit.
Before using your appliance for the first time and regularly after that, we recommend that you clean
the inside and outside (front, side and top) with warm mixed with a gentle cleaning product. Rinse with
clean water and allow to dry before reconnecting. Do not use solvents or abrasives.
When the appliance is switched on for the first time, there may be a residual odour. In that case, runt
the appliance empty for a few hours at the coldest possible temperature. The cold will kill any odours.
In case of a power cut
Most power cuts are resolved within a short time. A power cut of 1 or 2 hours will not affect the
temperature in your cabinet. To protect your wines during a power cut, avoid opening the door as
16 – 17°C
15 – 16°C
14 – 16°C
11 – 12°C
