Using the wine cellar

Bottle storage compartment

The storage compartment's main function is that of
guaranteeing that your wines are preserved in optimal
conditions.
The temperature has been set in the factory at a
temperature held to be excellent in most cases and
is 15°C=59°F in the upper compartment.
Wine has a complex nature and it derives from a long
and slow process. In order to best express its
attributes, very specific conditions are necessary.
All wines are preserved at the same temperature, but,
depending on their different characteristics, wines are
served and tasted at very different temperatures (see
the Table of ideal wine temperatures).
Therefore, just as for manufacturers' wine cellars, for
your new appliance, the absolute temperature 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.
Operation of a cellar with a double or a
single temperature zone
The cellar has been set up so as to work with two
different temperature zones, or else - depending on
the needs of the customer - with a single

temperature zone.

In order to work at double temperature, one must
place the black bottle holder grill on the guides of
the fourth shelf (counting top down), then set the
temperature you want in the upper area. Remember
that the temperature of the lower area, once you
have reached the temperature you want, will be
higher than the one you set (the temperature of the
lower area cannot be set separately).
Note: for a proper preservation of the wine, it is
recommended to set the thermostat temperature to
10°C=50°F, to get a temperature delta of
5°C=41°F ÷ 6°C= 42,8°F
For single temperature area operation, you must
remove the black bottle holder grill and replace it
with the accessory grid (of the same kind of the
other wood colour ones, already installed) . We
suggest you keep the unused grid in a dry and cool
place, in order to prevent it from being damaged by
humidityor by other atmospheric agents, as this
would make it unusable in the future.

The data is obtained by testing the product at a
room temperature of around 25°C=77°F.

Manual temperature control

When you plug in your wine cellar, the display shows
the temperature inside the cellar: it has been set to
reach 15°C=59°F and become steady on it. Should
you need to adjust it, 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 for one second (see the
Control Panel). The temperature will begin to blink.
3. Press the or buttons until you reach the
desired temperature.
4. Wait 5 seconds for the temperature to stop blinking.
5. Wait until the wine cellar reaches its temperature
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=75,2°F. This allows you to reach the pre-set
temperature more quickly.

Temperature control

Top area:
the temperature of the top area can be seen at any
time on the control display
Bottom area:
to see the temperature of the bottom area, press the
(minus) button for one second. The temperature of
the bottom area will be displayed for three seconds.
This operation may be repeated several times, in
order to check the temperature of the bottom
compartment (shelves 5 and 6).
If there is a single temperature area, you only need
to look at the temperature shown on the control
display, without pressing any button.
