programmed temperature. When the system is activated and the internal temperature reaches the set
temperature, the system stops.
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.
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.
Shelves
To prevent damage to the door seal, ensure that the door is fully open before pulling out the shelves
to add or remove bottles.
For easier access to the contents of the shelves, slide the shelf out approximately one third of the
way. Shelves are, however, fitted with a stop to prevent the bottles falling out.
To remove or reposition the shelves, move the shelf to the position where the notch of wooden shelf
is exactly under the plastic post and lift the wooden shelf. Please ensure these are replaced when the
shelf is put back.
7. 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.
