Using the wine cellar
Bottle ageing compartment
The ageing compartment's main function is that
of guaranteeing that your wines are preserved in
optimal conditions.
The temperature has been set in the factory at a
temperature held to be excellent in most cases and
is 15°C in the upper compartment.
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.
Manual temperature control
When you plug in your wine cellar, the display
shows the temperature inside the cellar: it has
been set to reach 15 ° C and become steady on it.
Should you need to adjust it, follow the instructions
below:
1. When you plug in your wine cellar, the display
shows the temperature that has been set
+
2. Press the
button for one second (see the
Control Panel). The temperature will begin to
blink.

3. Press the
or
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 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.
Taking out the wooden shelves
WARNING: The wooden shelves are not sliding.
Do not take them out when loaded with bottles, to
prevent the risk of the bottles breaking.
You can take the shelves out for cleaning only
