The humidification system: lava stones
Humidity fluctuates around 55% (±10); this is the average relative humidity range recommended to keep the
corks in your bottles sufficiently moist to maintain the flexibility and elasticity required to seal them
hermetically against liquids, while allowing your wines to breathe.
The lava stones serve to regulate the humidity within the cellar. They should be dampened and placed in the
box provided in the bottom part of the cavity. To increase the humidity level, drop some water directly in the
box where the lava stones are stored.
To better direct the running water to the trough, it is recommended that you slightly raise the cellar's front
foot while keeping it horizontally level.
The winter system (depending 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 (depending on some models)
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.
