Maximum loading:
Do not exceed maximum loads, which you will find in the cellar on a label (similar to
the one shown below).

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.
6° LOADING
The maximum recommended bottle loading quantities are guidelines and are not
contractually binding; they provide a quick estimate of the size of the appliance
(similar to the litre capacities of refrigerators).
They relate to tests conducted with a standard bottle: the "75 cl traditional Bordeaux"
bottle.
How to fill and maintain your wine cellar:
Your wine cellar is delivered with one or more wine bottle trays made of metal or
wood.
Start by loading the lower part of your wine cellar. Then simply stack the bottles with
their bases facing backward in the back row and conversely for the front row. The
bottle shelves should be arranged according to the size of your wine cellar and the
shapes of your wine bottles. It is very important not to exceed the load limit for each
shelf (refer to the load written inside your cellar). Do not exceed the designated
maximum capacity (warning: do not obstruct the charcoal filter).
The shelves should be arranged according to the size of your wine cellar and the
shape of your wine bottles.
In reality and in extreme cases, you could store more bottles by stacking the same
type of bottle without using shelves, but a "varied cellar" comprises a wide variety of
bottles and the "practical" aspect of everyday cellar management limits its capacity.
You will therefore probably load to a little less capacity than the nominal maximum
capacity.
