CAUTION! The filter is inserted in a plastic part. Do not try to remove all the parts, ONLY the filter.
Pulling or pushing the plastic receptacle may be not reparable as foamed in the body.
The anti-vibration system
Wine does not like to be disturbed. It especially dislikes vibration. This is why your wine cellar's slow-cycle
compressor is mounted on special shock absorbers called "silent blocks".
Likewise, the inner container is insulated from the body by a thick layer of polyurethane foam which also has the
particular feature of absorbing vibration.
Depending on the model, the wine bottle shelves are made of solid wood and absorb vibration better than metal.
On some models, the shelf supports are also equipped with rubber pads. Your bottles are enjoying perfect
peace!
Hygrometry
Your cellar is equipped with a dynamic humidity system, which regulates the humidity level in the cabinet
entirely automatically. No addition of water is required.
It is necessary to wait a few days after start-up for the average (between 55 and 70%) to stabilise in the cabinet.
Frost will form at the bottom of the cabinet: no cause for worry, this is a normal phenomenon, which may appear
when the appliance is used for the first time during the hotter periods of the year and which will disappear when
the natural inertia level is reached.
The winter system (depending on model)
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. A sensor located outside the appliance triggers a low power electrical
element when the ambient temperature in the room falls to around 8°C in case. 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.
IMPORTANT: if the temperature in the room where your wine cellar is located is about 12ºC (± 2°C), 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.
The anti-UV system
Light accelerates the aging of wine. In our solid door cellars, your wines are naturally protected, on condition, of
course, that the door is not opened too often. Models with a glass door are UV treated, thus filtering out
damaging ultraviolet rays: your wines are therefore protected.
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
