The anti-UV system
Light accelerates the ageing of wine. In our solid door cellars, your wines are naturally protected, on
condition, of course, that the door is not opened too often. This glass-door model has been specially
treated and filters out harmful ultraviolet rays, thus ensuring your wines are perfectly shielded.
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 channeled 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 or reposition the shelves, move the shelf to the position where the notch of wooden
shelf is exactly under the plastic post and lift the wooden shelf. Please ensure these are replaced
when the shelf is put back.
Ventilated cooling / Silent mode
Wine cellars are designed to preserve your wines in perfect conditions over long periods in complete
safety. However, no frost systems can cause noise, this is the reason why the silent mode is the
default factory setting. Thus, you can switch off the silent mode to switch to the ventilated cooling
mode by pressing the key
passage in ventilated cooling mode. Conversely, to deactivate the ventilated cooling mode and return
to the default silent mode, press and hold the button
sound signals to confirm the silent mode.
7. LOADING
The maximum recommended loading quantities for bottles are given as guidelines and are indicative
only; they provide a quick estimate of the size of the appliance (similar to the capacity of a refrigerator
expressed in liters).
They correspond to tests conducted with a standard bottle: the standard "75 cl light Bordeaux" bottle -
standards apply the geographical origin of each bottle shape (Bordeaux, Burgundy, Provence, etc.)
and a type (traditional, heavy, light, flute, etc.), each with its own diameter and height.
In reality and in extreme cases, you could store more bottles by stacking the same type of bottle
without using shelves, but a varied cellar comprises a wide variety of bottles and the practical aspect
of everyday cellar management limits its capacity. You will therefore probably load the appliance a
little less than the recommended maximum.
