The temperature display will flash
if
- A different temperature is being set,
- The temperature in the zone deviates by more than 5°C from the set temperature.
The temperature display flashing ensures that the temperature can not rise or fall un-noticed and impair the wine.
TEMPERATURE MEMORY FUNCTION
In the event of a power interruption (power surge, breaker switch, etc.) , the unit can remember the previous temperature settings, and when the power is recovery, the cabinet temperature will go back the same setting temperature as power off.
TEMPERATURE ALARM
An audible alarm will sound if the temperature in one of the zones rises or falls outside the temperature range. The relevant temperature display will flash at the same time.
The temperature the appliance is set at determines the temperature the appliance recognizes as being too warm or too cool.
The audible alarm will sound and the temperature display will flash:
- When you switch the appliance on, if the temperature inside the appliance is very different from the temperature set.
- When there has been a lengthy interruption to the power supply.
- When too many items have been put into the unit at one time. Or too much ambient air flowed in when rearranging and removing storage items.
- When the door is not been closed tightly.
- The appliance is faulty.
The audible alarm will be automatically silenced and the temperature display stops flashing when the set temperature is reached again. However, if the noise disturbs you, you can switch the audible alarm off before this if you wish by pressing the
POWER
key once. The alarm will stop. The relevant temperature display continues to flash until the set temperature has been reached. The display then lights up constantly, and the alarm system is fully active again.

POWER
key once can switch off the audible alarm.
INTERIOR LIGHT
The interior light makes it easy to view your wine labels and enhances the display of your collection.
Touching the LIGHT mark toggles between 2 modes of operation for the internal lights: functional (default) mode and showcase mode. If you are in functional
(default) mode, the lights will turn on only when the door is open. If you are in showcase mode, the lights will be on whether or not the door is open.
The unit is equipped with a LED light fitting system.
To change the LED light fitting pls contact the service department.
NOTE:
Please use only the original LED light fittings provided by the manufacturer.
DYNAMIC CLIMATE / SILENT MODE
This Dynamic Climate mode enables the relative humidity inside the unit and the temperature to be distributed evenly around the interior so you can store all your wine under exactly the same excellent conditions. If you would like to use the unit to store wine long term, the dynamic climate mode is a must.
This will create a continuous climate in the cabinet
11
which imitates that of a wine cellar.
In the Dynamic Climate mode, the interior fan circulates the inside air evenly even when the set temperature is reached. Dynamic Climate mode is
NOT
the factory preset mode because of creating noises and more energy consumption. To change to
Dynamic Climate mode, touch and hold the
DOWN
key for approximately five seconds. The wine cellar will beep five times to confirm Dynamic Climate mode is on. To change back to default (Silent) mode
(Also known as energy saving mode), touch and hold the
UP
key for approximately five seconds.
The wine cellar will beep three times to confirm default (Silent) mode is on.
SABBATH MODE
Sabbath mode is available for the observance of certain religious holidays. This mode turns off the displays, interior light and audible alarms and prevents them from turning on again. Normal cooling operations will still take place.
To initiate Sabbath mode, press the
POWER
and
LIGHT
keys at the same time for at least 5 seconds.
The indicator light will flash four times and confirm the Sabbath mode is ON.
Sabbath mode can be exited by repeating the above process. The Sabbath Mode will automatically exit after 96 hours.
CABINET SHELVES
IMPORTANT - Do not cover any part of the shelves with aluminum foil or any other material that will prevent adequate air circulation within the cabinet.
To prevent damaging the door gasket, make sure the door is fully open when pulling shelves out of the rail compartment.
For easy access to the bottles stored, pull the shelves out approximately 1/3. The shelves are designed with an emergency stop to prevent them being removed too far when loaded.
OPERATING NOISES
The unit is cooled by a compressor (refrigeration aggregate). The compressor pumps coolant through the cooling system, producing operating noise. Even when the compressor cuts out, noises caused by changes in temperature and pressure are unavoidable. Operating noise will be most audible immediately after the compressor cuts in. It becomes quieter as the operating period continues.
The following noises are normal and occur from time
to time:
- Gurgling sound, caused by the refrigerant flowing through the appliance’s coils,
- Humming noise made by the motor compressor.
This noise can get louder for brief periods when the motor is switching on.
- Cracking/popping sounds, resulting from the materials contraction and expansion due to temperature variations,
- Fan operating sound, to circulate the air within the wine cabinet.
Unusual noise is normally the result of improper installation. Under no circumstances must tubing come into contact with a wall, other furniture or with other tubing.
Where the unit is installed in open-plan kitchen or in partition walls, the level of operating noise will be heard more acutely. However, this is due to the surrounding architecture and not to the unit.
An individual’s perception of noise is directly linked to the environment in which the unit is located, as well the specific type of models. Our appliances are in line with international standards for such appliance and in line with the latest technical developments. But please remember that the noise of the compressor and the coolant circulating in the system is unavoidable.
DEFROSTING / HYGROMETRY /
VENTILATION
Your wine storage is designed with Automatic defrost system. During “Off-cycle” the evaporator behind the rear wall of the unit defrosts automatically. The condensate collects in the drain trough behind the rear wall of the unit, and flows through the drainage hole into the drip tray by/above the compressor. The heat is transferred from the discharge pipe or compressor and evaporates any condensation that has collected in the tray. Part of the remaining water is collected within the wine cellar for humidity purposes.
This system enables the creation of the correct humidity level inside your wine cellar required by the natural cork to maintain a long lasting seal.
The wine storage is not totally sealed: fresh air admission is permitted through the drainpipe. Air is circulated through the unit by means of a fan/fans and the hollow shelves.
NOTE:
However, the frost may be accumulated on the evaporator if the unit is repeatedly opened in a high heat or high humidity location. If this frost pattern does not clear within 24 hours, your unit will require manual defrosting.
12
BOTTLE STORAGE
Many bottles may differ in size and dimensions. As such the actual number of bottles you may be able to store may vary.
Bottle capacities are approximate maximums when storing traditional Bordeaux 750 ML bottles and include bulk storage.
You may load your wine bottles in single row or by stacking while taking note of the following: if you do not have enough bottles to fill your wine storage, it is better to distribute the load throughout the wine storage so as to avoid “all on top” or “all below” type loads.
- Do remove or relocate adjustable wooden shelves to accommodate larger type of bottles or increase the capacity of the unit by stacking the bottles up when necessary. (See removing shelves)
- Keep small gaps between the walls and the bottles to allow air circulation. Like an underground cellar air circulation is important to prevent mould and for a better homogeneous temperature within the unit.
- Do not over load your wine storage to facilitate air circulation.
- Avoid obstructing the internal fans (located inside on the back panel of the wine storage).
- Do not try to slide the shelves outwards beyond the fixed position to prevent the bottles from falling.
- Do not pull out more than one loaded shelf at a time as this may cause the wine storage to tilt forward if not properly installed.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT
TEMPERATURE
Your wine storage has been designed to guarantee optimum conditions for storing and/or serving your wines.
Fine wines require long and gentle developments and need specific conditions in which to reach their full potential.
All wines mature at the same temperature, which is a constant temperature set between 11ºC to 14ºC.
Only the temperature of “dégustation” (wine appreciation) varies according to the type of wines
(see “Wine Serving Temperature Chart” above).
This being said and as it is for natural cellars used by wine producers for long period of storage, it is not the exact temperature that is important, but its consistency. In other words, as long as the temperature of your wine storage is constant
(between 11ºC to 14ºC) your wines will be stored in perfect conditions.
Not all wines will improve over the years. Some should be consumed at an early stage (2 to 3 years) while others have tremendous ageing capability (50 and over). All wines have a peak in maturity. Do check with your wine merchant to get the relevant information.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING
: Failure to unplug the appliance during service and cleaning could result in electrical shock or other personal injury.
REMOVING SHELVES
To remove any of the shelves from the rail compartment, move the shelf to the position where the notch of wooden shelf is exactly under the plastic post and then lift it up and out.
In order to replace the shelf, repeat steps described above in reverse. And make sure to engage the shelves with the small pegs of the extended rails when the model is equipped with roller system.
HUMIDITY CONTROL
The appliance is equipped with a system for maintaining the correct level of humidity.
Under extremely dry environmental conditions, you may have to add some water into the humidity box provided with your wine storage.
Fill the small plastic reservoir (humidity box) ¾ full with water, and fit onto the runners found on the top shelf of the appliance. Check the water level regularly and refill as necessary.
Please ensure the reservoir is positioned correctly on the runners on the top shelf to avoid the possibility of water spillage.
ACTIVE CHARCOAL AIR FILTER
Replace the active charcoal air filter with a new one once a year. It can be purchased from your dealer
or from the Spare Parts Department.
Grip the filter and turn it 90°clockwise or anticlockwise to remove.
Insert the new filter in the vertical position.
Turn the filter 90° clockwise or anti-clockwise until it clicks into position.
DOOR LOCK
Your unit is provided with a lock and key combination.
The keys are located inside the plastic bag that contains the Owner’s Manual. Insert the key into the lock and turn it counterclockwise to unlock the door. To lock the door do the reverse operation making sure metal pin is engaged completely. Remove the key and place it in a secure place for safekeeping.
CLEANING YOUR WINE STORAGE

POWER FAILURE
In the event of a power interruption, all previous temperature settings are automatically memorized. If power is interrupted (power surge, breaker switch, etc.) and then powered up again, the unit will operate with the last temperature set-point.
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your appliance if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to be off for a longer period of time, you need to take the proper steps to protect your contents.
NOTE:
Irrespective of the cause, if you notice either abnormal temperature or humidity levels inside your wine cellar, be reassured that only long and frequent exposure to these abnormal conditions can cause a detrimental effect on your wines.
