12° PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS
You can solve many simple problems with your wine cellar yourself, thus avoiding
having to contact your after-sales department. Try the following suggestions.
PROBLEM
The cellar will not start
The cellar does not cool sufficiently
The cellar is too cold
The humidity level is too high
Bottle labels are coming unstuck
The humidity level is too low
The temperature in the cellar is not consistent
POSSIBLE CAUSES
The cellar is not plugged in.
If your wine cellar is in an unheated room, refer to the section
"Winter Kit".
The fuse in your electrical installation has blown.
The thermostat position is set to provide insufficient cooling:
adjust it.
The external temperature is beyond the cellar's operating
temperature.
The thermostat is set to provide excessive cooling: adjust it.
Humidity is regulated by the principle of thermodynamics.
During a cooling period, a frost forms (cold air dries the air),
humidity will fall to 40%. During a heating period, the frost
melts and humidity may reach 70%.
Taking an average of these two values, we obtain an average
humidity of 55%. It is essential to calculate an average value
over several cycles and not from a single reading.
There are three alternatives for reducing the cellar's humidity:
- Replace the charcoal filters
Decrease the temperature slightly inside the cellar.
-

To increase the humidity in the cellar, there are two
alternatives:
- Place a jar of water in the upper part of the cellar.
Raise the temperature slightly inside the cellar.

1 The actual temperature to take into account is the
temperature in the bottle. The temporary variations
which you observe correspond to the compressor's
operating cycles.
It is through this principle of a series of small variations in the
air inside your wine cellar that a suitable average temperature
is obtained, ensuring the best conditions for maturing your
wine.
2 If the temperature noted in your wine cellar is different
from that usually seen and it does not change
continuously (over several hours and except when
located in a non-heated room with a temperature of
