temperature.
The anti-vibration system
The refrigeration compressor is equipped with special dampers (silent-blocks) and the inner space is
insulated from the body by a thick layer of polyurethane foam. These characteristics prevent the
transmission of vibration to your wines.
Defrosting
Your appliance is equipped with an automatic defrost cycle. When a cooling cycle finishes, the
appliance's refrigerated surfaces are defrosted automatically. The defrost water is channeled into a
condensates evaporation tray which is located in the back of the appliance near the compressor. The
heat produced by the compressor then evaporates the condensates collected in the tray.
The anti-UV system
Light accelerates the ageing of wine. In our solid door cellars, your wines are naturally protected, on
condition, of course, that the door is not opened too often. This glass-door model has been specially
treated and filters out harmful ultraviolet rays, thus ensuring your wines are perfectly shielded.
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 loading quantities for bottles are given as guidelines and are indicative
only; they provide a quick estimate of the size of the appliance (similar to the capacity of a refrigerator
expressed in liters).
They correspond to tests conducted with a standard bottle: the standard "75 cl light Bordeaux" bottle -
standards apply the geographical origin of each bottle shape (Bordeaux, Burgundy, Provence, etc.)
and a type (traditional, heavy, light, flute, etc.), each with its own diameter and height.
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 the appliance a
little less than the recommended maximum.
