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 winter function
Equipped with a winter function, the cellar ensures the good conservation of the
bottles despite an unfavorable environment. Your cellar is fitted with a heating
element which raises the temperature inside the cellar in the event of abnormally low
temperatures. An outside temperature sensor allows it to measure the ambient
temperature to know when to trigger the winter function.
The heating element is triggered if the 2 conditions below are met:
- The temperature inside the cellar is equal to or lower than the set temperature
(+1.5°C)
- The room temperature is equal to or lower than the set temperature
When the indoor temperature is higher than the set temperature, the heating element
will turn off. To note ; For optimal operation and to achieve the desired performance,
the device has been designed to operate at an ambient temperature between 23°C
and 25°C. An ambient temperature above or below 23-25°C may affect the
performance of the appliance in reaching the desired set 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.
