3- Important facts about wine
Your ARTEVINO cabinet is designed to guarantee optimal storing and/or serving conditions for your wine.
Wine is a complex product which develops very slowly. It therefore requires specific conditions in order to reach its
potential.
All wines are stored at the same temperature, only the serving temperatures differ, depending on the wine.
That being said, as in natural cellars belonging to wine producers, it is not so much the absolute value of the storage
temperature that is important but its constancy. In other words, regardless of the temperature inside your wine cabinet
from 10 to 14°C (for a maturing cabinet), your wine will be stored in ideal conditions, provided that this temperature
is not subject to extreme variations.
IF YOU NOTICE A TEMPERATURE OR HUMIDITY FAULT INSIDE YOUR CABINET FOR ANY
REASON, REST ASSURED THAT ONLY LONG EXPOSURE TO THESE ABNORMAL CONDITIONS
IS HARMFUL TO YOUR WINE.
4- Power supply
The wine cabinet's power lead has a plug to be connected to a standard earthed socket to prevent any risk of electric
shock.
For your own safety, the wine cabinet must be correctly earthed. Ensure that the socket is correctly earthed and that
your installation is protected by a circuit breaker (30 mA*)
Any work must be carried out by a qualified electrician.
* Not valid for some countries.
Have the power supply socket checked by a qualified electrician who will tell you whether or not it is correctly
earthed and will carry out, if necessary, work to make it compliant.
If moving to a foreign country, check that the characteristics of the cabinet correspond to the country (voltage,
frequency).
5- Installing your wine cabinet
I. Unpacking
• When unpacking your cabinet, ensure that it does not have any signs of impact or warping or any apparent defects.
• Open the door and check that the inside of your appliance is intact (walls, shelves, hinges...).
• Arrange the power lead so that it does not come into contact with any of the cabinet's components.
Shelf protectors for transporting the cabinet have been attached to each shelf. 2 protectors per shelf (Picture 1).
Remove them both using a rotary motion (Picture 2). You can retain these protectors and re-use them if you are going
to transport your wine cabinet over a long distance.
