The winter system (optional on some models):
The winter kit is a frost protection system which enables the cellar to operate in an environment where the
temperature is between 0 and 32°C. When the inner temperature of the wine cellar is going down of 4°C
compared to the selected temperature, a low power electrical element is operating to bring back the inner
temperature to the initial selected temperature. This is a low power element to avoid sudden rises in the
temperature of the wine and so avoid thermal shocks that are damaging to the preservation of the wine. The kit is
intended to raise the cellar's internal temperature even before there is a thermal exchange with the bottles.
CAUTION! Operation of the winter kit temporarily overrides the thermal layering in the wine cabinet.
IMPORTANT: If the temperature in the room where your wine cellar is located is about 12ºC (±2), no
production of warm or cold air will be observed. The appliance is then completely silent and this is quite
normal. It should not be considered as a malfunction.
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.
Lock
For cellars fitted with a lock, the keys can be found in the bag along with the manual. To close the cellar, turn the
key anti clockwise.
Lighting
The light can be activated or deactivated when pressing the key. The light will turn off automatically after one hour
time.
Shelves
Each cellar has its own type of bottle shelf.
Note that there is no ideal storage arrangement. A collection of bottles of wine is rich when it is varied. It is up to
you to arrange the storage capacity of your wine cellar according to your collection.
Additional shelves may be ordered as a chargeable option from your retailer or after-sales service, or from our
web site www.climadiff.com
Tip: To prevent damage to the door seal, ensure that the door is fully open before pulling out the shelves to add or
remove bottles.
Maximum loading:
Do not exceed maximum loads, which you will find in the cellar on a label (similar to the one shown below).
