Important: • If large amounts of wine are put in the appliance, it may take several days for it to reach a constant temperature. • Caution! The storage temperature must never drop below +6°C. • When the appliance is working, drops of dew or frost may form on the inner liner wall. This depends on the operation. There is no need to scrape the frost off or dry off the dew. The back wall defrosts automatically. The defrost water is automatically conveyed to a drain hole, and then collected in a container where it evaporates. • The bottles can be stored neatly on the wooden racks. Each shelf can bear a maximum weight of 40 Kg. 13 Remember when arranging • Place the bottles in a central position on the rack. • When closing the door make sure that the bottles do not touch the glass door. • Caution: highly concentrated alcohol must be kept hermetically closed and in a vertical position. • Because of the circulation of air in the refrigerator, different temperature zones form: the colder zones are those near the back wall, the warmer zones are close to the door glass. • Always store bottled wines individually and not in cases or cardboard boxes. • The recommended quantities of 0.75 l Bordeaux type bottles are as follows: - h 1400: 88 bottles; - h 1600: 101 bottles; - h 1800: 119 bottles. However, the appliance itself has been built to withstand the following loads: - h 1400: 102 bottles MAXIMUM; - h 1600: 124 bottles MAXIMUM; - h 1800: 140 bottles MAXIMUM. To obtain the maximum load refer to the following pictures: 14 INTRODUCTION TO WINE Wine storage A well-known characteristic of wine is that it can be stored over time: in the correct location, white wines can be stored for about two years after their vintage although ideally they should be drunk within one year. While light red wines can be stored for up to two years, fullbodied reds will age well for 10 years and dessert wines even up to twenty years. When you buy a bottle of wine, transfer it to your wine cellar or other suitable place immediately. There are three main factors that weigh on the process from grape cultivation to harvesting and fermentation: light, humidity and ambient temperature. To ensure the taste of the wine matures to its peak and the aroma remains unaltered, it must be stored with the right interaction of these three factors. Storage location Not everyone has a basement suitable for use as a cellar. Technology has only recently come up with an effective substitute for a natural cellar. Your new wine cellar is a special appliance designed specifically to hold and store wines properly. Indeed, it should only be used for your favourite bottles of wine, not for fruit, vegetables and tins. In this way, you can store and age any kind of wine properly even if you don’t have a natural wine cellar. How to store wine When storing your wine bottles, one golden rule not to be overlooked is that they must be laid horizontally or at an angle to ensure the wine keeps the cork wet. Some say that this causes the classic smell of “cork” in wine. In actual fact, keeping the cork in contact with the wine enhances its elasticity thereby guaranteeing its continued effectiveness. Another important factor in storing wine is how the bottles are arranged: the bottles should be arranged at liberty by place of origin, type of wine, area of production, winery or vintage, using the catalogue labels provided if desired. Arranging the bottles so that they can be easily identified and selected prevents any accidental jolts which, like vibrations, can unsettle sediments and alter the visual appearance of the wine for some time. Hence, try to move your bottles as little as possible, allowing the wine to rest. Furthermore, don’t push the bottles so far back that they rest against the rear wall of the cellar as this would not only interfere with the automatic defrosting function, the water droplets collected during defrosting could also ruin the bottle labels. Bottle racks must be made from wood as this effectively absorbs any vibrations and keeps bottles away from the wall transmitting heat or cold. In addition, the bottles of wine must be stored away from substances or places with strong odours which can be easily absorbed by the wine. To this end, your new appliance has an active carbon filter to absorb any impurities in the air. 15 Temperature and humidity Temperature is a critical and vital factor during the entire life cycle of wine; it determines how well the wine develops when matured in the bottle. To ensure optimal storage, the temperature must be kept constant from 8 to 12 °C. Rapid, wide temperature swings must be avoided: when the temperature is too high, the liquids dilate accelerating the ageing process whereas excessively low temperatures (below 4 - 5 °C) can cause the precipitation of tartrates; such an imperfection would impair the pleasant appearance of the wine. In the extreme event that the temperature drops below 0 °C, the wine would freeze causing the cork to explode. Humidity is also crucial in optimal wine storage: dry environments cause the cork to shrink whereas overly damp locations cause mould and harmful microorganisms to form. Humidity must be kept between 50% - 70%. The cork This is an essential part of the bottle: the quality of the cork, selected by the wine-maker, is very important in the ageing process of the wine itself. The conditions of the cork, including corks in bottled wine, depend solely on the process and storage standards used by the manufacturer or bottler. USING THE PRODUCT Starting up the appliance • To switch the appliance on and adjust the temperature, refer to the product sheet attached. • For the appliance to work correctly we recommend setting the temperature according to the indications given in the “Introduction to wine” section. Note: The ambient air temperature, frequency of door opening and the position of the appliance can affect internal temperatures. The set temperature must be adjusted based on these factors Automatic winter function The SN climate class ensures operation of your Wine Cellar in ambient temperatures between 10°C and 32°C. The new Automatic winter function ensures correct storage temperature of your wine in rooms with temperatures from 6°C and above. This function is activated automatically by an external sensor if the room temperature falls below 10°C. For room temperatures between 6 and 10°C, the internal temperature of the appliance will be automatically set to an average of 4°C higher than the temperature of the room. 16 CARE AND MAINTENANCE Before any cleaning or maintenance operation, unplug the appliance from the mains or disconnect the electrical power supply. The wine cellar has a fully automatic defrosting function. • Droplets of water on the rear wall of the appliance indicate that the periodic automatic defrost cycle is in progress. The defrost water is automatically routed to a drain outlet and into a container from which it evaporates. • Clean the defrost water drain outlet regularly using the tool supplied with the appliance in order to ensure defrost water is removed correctly. • Clean the condenser at the rear of the appliance regularly with a vacuum cleaner or a brush. If necessary... 1.Empty the wine cellar. 2.Disconnect the appliance from the power supply. 3.Leave the door partly open (approx. 3-4mm) to prevent the formation of mould, unpleasant odours and oxidation. 4.Clean the appliance. • Clean the inside regularly with a sponge dampened in warm water and/or neutral detergent. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive products. • Clean the outside with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive products, scourers, stain-removers (e.g. acetone, trichloroethylene) or vinegar. • Clean the outside of the glass with a standard glasscleaning detergent but with a damp cloth only on the inside to prevent detergents from interfering with the proper storage of the wine. Active carbons In addition to temperature, air quality is also vital in wine storage. The active carbon filter is essential in filtering the external air, thereby assuring an adequate supply of clean air, free of dust and odours (Figure C1). Replacement filters are available and can be requested from the After-sales Service. Rack cleaning Use a damp cloth to clean the oak racks. Be careful not to damage the rubber seal when removing the rack from the appliance. To that end, open the door fully. 17 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE 1.The appliance is not working. • Is there a power failure? • Is the plug properly inserted in the socket? • Is the double-pole mains switch on? • Has the fuse blown? • Is the power cord damaged? • Is the control panel in stand-by? 2.The internal temperature is not low enough. • Is the door shut properly? • Are the bottles preventing the door from closing properly? • Is the appliance installed near a heat source? • Are the control panel settings correct? • Are the air circulation vents blocked? 3.The temperature inside the wine cellar is too low. • Is the control panel in stand-by? 4.The appliance is excessively noisy. • Has the appliance been installed correctly? • Are the pipes at the back touching or vibrating? 5.Water collects at the bottom of the cellar. • Is the defrost water drain blocked?
