Where the unit is installed in an open-plan kitchen or in
partition walls, the level of operating noise will be heard
more acutely. However, this is due to the surrounding
architecture and not to the unit.
An individual's perception of noise is directly linked to
the environment in which the unit is located, as well as
the specific type of model. Our appliances are in line
with international standards for such appliances and in
line with the latest technical developments. But please
remember that the noise of the compressor and the
coolant circulating in the system is unavoidable.
DEFROSTING / HYGROMETRY /
VENTILATION
Your unit is designed with an automatic defrost system.
During the "Off-cycle" the evaporator behind the rear
wall of the unit defrosts automatically. The condensate
collects in the drain trough behind the rear wall of the
unit, and part of it flows through the drainage hole into
the drip tray by/above the compressor. The heat is
transferred from the discharge pipe or compressor and
evaporates any condensation that has collected in the
tray. Part of the remaining water is collected within the
unit for humidity purposes.
This system enables the creation of the correct
humidity level inside your unit required by the natural
cork to maintain a long lasting seal and gives the
cabinet natural ventilation and constant air circulation.
The appliance is not totally sealed: fresh air admission
is permitted through the drainpipe and/or air exchange
pipe. Air is circulated through the unit by means of a
fan / fans and the open shelves.
NOTE: Frost may be accumulated on the evaporator if
the unit is repeatedly opened in a high heat or high
humidity location. If this frost pattern does not clear
within 24 hours, your unit will require manual defrosting.

Tip: Store the wine 1 or 2°C cooler than the
recommended drinking temperature as it warms up a
little when poured into the glass.
Tip: Full-bodied reds should be opened for 2-3 hours
before drinking to allow the wine to breathe and
develop its aroma.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT
TEMPERATURE
Your unit has been designed to guarantee optimum
conditions for storing and/or serving your wines.
Fine wines require long and gentle developments and
need specific conditions in which to reach their full
potential.
All wines mature at the same temperature, which is a
constant temperature set between 11ºC to 14ºC. Only
the temperature of "dégustation" (wine appreciation)
varies according to the type of wines (see the Wine
Serving Temperature Chart as above). This being said
and as it is for natural cellars used by wine producers
for long period of storage, it is not the exact
temperature that is important, but its consistency. In
other words, as long as the temperature of your wine
cellar is constant (between 11ºC to 14ºC, or 52°F to
57°F) your wines will be stored under perfect
conditions.
Not all wines will improve over the years. Some should
be consumed at an early stage (2 to 3 years) while
others have tremendous ageing capability (50 years
and over). All wines have a peak in maturity. Check
with your wine merchant to get the relevant information.
