Using the wine cellar
Bottle ageing compartment
The ageing compartment's main function is
that of guaranteeing that your wines are pre-
served in optimal conditions.
The wine cellar's temperature was factory pre-
set at 15° C, a temperature that is considered
optimal for most wines.
Wine has a complex nature and it derives from
a long and slow process. In order to best ex-
press its attributes, very specific conditions
are necessary.
All wines are preserved at the same tempera-
ture, but, depending on their different charac-
teristics, wines are served and tasted at very
different temperatures.
Therefore, just as for manufacturers' wine cel-
lars, for your new appliance, the absolute tem-
perature value is not important for preserving
your wine. Rather, the constant temperature
through time is important. Wine preservation
is ideal at any temperature, as long as that
temperature does not vary.
Manual temperature control
Should you need to adjust the temperature in-
side the
wine cellar, follow the instructions below:
1. When you plug in your wine cellar, the display
shows the temperature that has been set
2. Press the
button (see Control Panel) for
one second. The temperature will begin to
blink.
3. Press the
or
the desired temperature.
4. Wait 5 seconds for the temperature to stop
blinking.
5. Wait until the wine cellar reaches its tem-
perature before you place the wine bottles
inside.
The inside light does not go on (or it goes off
temporarily) when the inside temperature goes
over 24° C. This allows you to reach the pre-
set temperature more quickly.
Taking out the wooden shelves
WARNING:
The wooden shelves are not sliding. Do not take
them out when loaded with bottles, to prevent
the risk of the bottles breaking.
You can take the shelves out for cleaning only
when they are not loaded with any bottles.
