humidity.Under extremely dry environmental conditions, you may have to add
some water into the humidity box provided with your wine cooler.

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.

Loading the wine cooler

IMPORTANT:
Your appliance is ideally suited to store 0.75 litre
Bordeaux style wine bottles. While it can store larger bottles, you
must make sure that they do not prevent the door from shutting
properly.
o
Always check that you can close the door without it fouling on
a wine bottle, before shutting it.
o
When loading several bottles of wine at once, it will take longer for the appliance to cool the individual
bottles.
o
As many bottles may differ in size and dimensions, the actual number of bottles you are able to store
may vary. The maximum storage number is based on standard 0.75 litre Bordeaux style wine bottles.
