6. EQUIPMENT
The climate control system
According to advice from specialists, the ideal temperature for storing wine is around 12°C, within a
bracket of 10 to 14°C. Do not confuse this with service temperature, which varies between 5 and
20°C, depending on the specific nature of the wine.
It is especially important to avoid sudden changes in temperature. Designed by specialists for
oenophiles, this appliance, unlike a simple refrigerator, takes into account the sensitivity of grand cru
wines to sudden variations in temperature by ensuring the close control of a constant average
temperature.
The anti-vibration system
The refrigeration compressor is equipped with special dampers (silent-blocks) and the inner space is
insulated from the body by a thick layer of polyurethane foam. These characteristics prevent the
transmission of vibration to your wines.
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.
Enhanced safety
Since this range of appliances is intended for storing items of value, we have been careful to select
quality components and to design suitable manufacturing techniques to ensure optimum safety in
operation.
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.
