Energy saving tips
To guarantee adequate ventilation follow installation instructions.
Insufficient ventilation at the back of the product increases
energy consumption and decreases cooling efficiency.
Frequent door opening might cause an increase in Energy
Consumption.
The internal temperature of the appliance and the Energy
Consumption may be affected also by the ambient temperature,
as well as location of the appliance. Temperature setting should
take into consideration these factors.
Reduce door opening to a minimum.
When thawing frozen food, place in the refrigerator. The low
temperature of the frozen products cools the food in the
refrigerator. Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before
placing in the appliance.
Positioning of the shelves in the refrigerator has no impact on
the efficient usage of energy. Food should be placed on the
shelves in such way to ensure proper air circulation (food
should not touch each other and distance between food and
rear wall should be kept).
You can increase storage capacity of frozen food by removing
baskets and, if present, Stop Frost shelf.
Do not worry about noises coming from the compressor which
are described as normal noises in this product’s Quick Guide.
Storing wine
As is well known, wine will keep for a long time; if kept in a suitable place
white wines will keep for about two years from the date of harvest, but
should be drunk within a year. Light wines can instead be kept for up to
two years, while some full-bodied red wines can keep for ten years and
raisin wines even twenty years. When you buy a bottle of wine put it in the
cellar or another suitable place immediately. Three factors are vital in the
process which starts from the cultivation of the grape, through to ripening,
harvesting and wine making: light, air humidity and room temperature. If
the taste of the wine is to reach full maturity while maintaining the wine’s
aroma, it must be stored perfectly by the interaction of these three factors.
Storage space
Not everyone has an underground storage space which can be
used as a cellar. Just recently technology has managed to supply
a valid substitute for the classic wine cellar. The Wine Cellar
which you have purchased is a special appliance designed to
contain and store wines correctly. In fact it should not be used
to store fruit, vegetables and tins but only your favourite bottles
of wine. So, without having a cellar area, every type of wine can
be correctly stored, matured and enjoyed.
Storage rules
A vital rule for keeping your favourite bottles is that they should be placed on their sides or inclined so that
the wine bathes the cork. Many people think that this causes the well-known “cork” smell. In reality
contact between the wine and the cork helps the elasticity of the cork so guaranteeing its effectiveness.
Being able to take the bottles easily for use avoids accidental shaking which, like vibration, could cause the
sediments to suspend again, so altering the appearance of the wine over time. Move your bottles as little
as possible and let the wine rest. Also avoid letting the bottles come into contact with the bottom wall
because this would not only affect efficient defrosting but could ruin the bottle labels because of the drops
of water collected during defrosting. The shelves on which the bottles are placed must be of wood, which
efficiently absorbs any vibrations and keeps the bottle away from the wall which transmits the cold. The
bottles of wine must also be kept away from substances or places which have a strong smell because this
could easily be transmitted to the wine.
The temperature
The temperature represents a critical factor which is important throughout the wine’s life cycle. It
determines wine’s good development while it remains in the bottle to mature. For best storage the
temperature must be kept constant in an interval between 8 and 12°C. Rapid and wide changes of
temperature must be avoided: too high a temperature dilates the liquids and speeds up the wine maturing,
while too low a temperature (below 4 – 5°C) could cause the precipitation of tartrates, which could affect
the wine’s appearance. In the extreme case in which the temperature drops below 0°C, the wine may
freeze and cause the cork to be expelled.
The cork
The cork is a fundamental component of a bottle of wine: its quality, chosen by the wine producer, is very
important for the maturation of the wine itself. The perfect condition of the cork, in the bottles which we
buy, depends exclusively on the standards of use and storage used by the producer or bottler.
Introduction to wine

Classical storage with 36 bottles
If you want to arrange the bottles for storing wine so that they are visible and easy to take out, we
recommend the 36-bottle configuration (Bordeaux bottle or mixed Bordeaux bottle and German-type
bottle). Position a maximum of 6 bottles in the niches of each of the 5 wooden shelves; another 6 bottles
can be placed in the slots on the bottom of the cellar to give a total of 36 bottles.
The wooden shelves have a locking system to avoid accidental removals which could cause the bottles to
fall. The larger bottles (German-type bottle) should be placed on their side.
Storage with Champagne bottles.
Because Champagne bottles are larger than normal ones, a maximum of 5 must be placed on the bottom
of the cellar. If you want to store more Champagne bottles remove the 5th shelf and stack the bottles on
top of the bottles placed on the base of the cellar but in the reverse direction. Up to 9 Champagne bottles
can be stored in this way.
Taking out the wooden shelves
To take out the wooden shelves proceed as follows:
1. Hold the front part of the shelf with one hand.
2. Remove the shelf slowly by pulling it slowly towards you for 1/3 of its total travel.
If there are only a few bottles
If there are not enough bottles to fill the wine cellar they should be distributed between all the available
shelves, avoiding loading them all at the top or all at the bottom. So that they can be more easily seen
from outside, they should be placed centrally on all the shelves.

Preparing the appliance for use
Switching on the appliance
Insert the plug to start the appliance and then set the temperature on the front panel. A green pilot light
comes on to indicate that the appliance is switched on.
The product has an internal light that does not come on automatically when the door is opened, but can
be switched on as necessary from the control panel by pressing the relevant button.
Setting the temperature
For the appliance to work correctly we recommend setting the temperature according to the indications
given in the “Introduction to wine” section.
Note:
The room temperature, the door opening frequency and the position of the appliance can influence the
internal temperatures.

Cellar working with double or single temperature zone
The cellar is designed to work with two temperature zones or, as an alternative if the customer so
requires, with a single temperature zone. For two-temperature operation position the black bottle-holder
rack on the rails of the fourth shelf (starting from the first at the top), then set the temperature required in
the upper zone, remembering that once the required temperature is reached the temperature of the
lower compartment will be about 6 degrees centigrade higher than that set (the temperature of the lower
zone cannot be set separately).

Note:
T
o store the wine correctly we recommend setting the thermostat temperature at 10°C (upper
compartment) to obtain a temperature of 15 – 16°C. For working with one temperature zone the black
bottle-holder rack is removed and replaced with the accessory rack (the same type as the other wood-
colour racks already installed). Keep the unused rack in a dry and cool place to avoid it being damaged by
humidity or other atmospheric agents and thus being unusable in the future.
Setting the temperature
The appliance temperature was set in the factory and corresponds to 15°C (upper compartment).
If necessary, the temperature of the upper compartment can be changed as follows:
1. When connecting to the electrical power supply, the display shows the temperature set inside the
compartment.
2. Press the (+) button for about a second; the temperature indicator will start to flash.
3. Press the (+) or (-) buttons until the required temperature has been reached.
4. Wait for 5 seconds for the indicator to shine steadily; the temperature has now been set.
5. Wait for the temperature change to take effect and put the bottles of wine in the cellar. The inside light
does not come on (or goes out temporarily) when the inside temperature is higher than 24°C, so that
the set temperature can be reached more quickly.
Controlling the temperature
Upper zone: the temperature of the upper zone is that normally shown on the control display.
Lower zone: the temperature of the lower zone cannot be set separately, but is about 5°- 6°C higher
than that of the upper compartment. To display the temperature of the lower zone just press the (-)
button for a second and the temperature of the lower zone will be displayed for three seconds.
This operation can be repeated several times to check the temperature of the lower zone.
When single-temperature operation is selected by removing the separator, just see the temperature
indicated on the control display, without pressing any buttons.
How to operate the appliance

Before any maintenance or cleaning, unplug the appliance or disconnect the appliance from the
power supply.
The wine cellar defrosts completely automatically.
• Occasional drops of water on the appliance’s inner back wall indicate the automatic defrosting phase.
The defrost water is automatically conveyed to a drain hole, and then collected in a container where it
evaporates.
If necessary…
1. Empty the wine cellar completely.
2. Disconnect the appliance from the mains.
3. To prevent the formation of moulds, bad smells and oxidation, the appliance door must remain slightly
open (about 3 – 4 cm).
4. Clean the appliance.
• Clean the inside regularly with a sponge dampened in lukewarm water and/or neutral detergent.
• Rinse and clean with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasives.
• Clean the outside with a soft cloth dampened with water. Do not use abrasive pastes or pads, stain
removers (e.g. acetone, trichloroethylene) or vinegar.
• Clean the outside glass with a specific glass cleaner and the inside just with a damp cloth, avoiding using
detergents where the wines are properly stored.
Rack cleaning
Use a damp cloth to clean the oak racks. Be careful not to damage the gasket when taking the rack out of
the appliance. Open the door as wide as possible.
Replacement of the LED
To replace the LED, contact After-Sales service.
Do not stare at the light when it is on: it could damage your eyesight.

Before contacting the Customer Care Center…
Problems of operation are often due to simple causes, which may be identified and solved without using
any tools.
Appliance noises are normal because its fans and compressors switch on and off automatically.
Some operating noises may be reduced by:
• levelling the appliance and installing it on a flat surface
• separating and avoiding contact between the appliance and the units
• making sure that the internal components are placed correctly
• making sure that there is no contact between the bottles and the containers.
Some possible operating noises:
• a whistle when the appliance switches on for the first time or after a long time.
• a splash when the cooling fluid enters the pipes.
• a buzz when the fan start working.
• a crackle when the compressor starts.
• an unexpected trip when the compressor switches on and off.
When you hear these noises…
...your appliance is alive and operating!!!
