Since this range of appliances is intended for storing items of value, we have been careful to select quality

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).
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.
