							3.2 Wine arrangement
Top Compartment:
The temperature can be adjusted be-
tween +6 and + 11°C. This compartment
is ideal for wines, especially new reds
and whites, to be consumed immediate-
ly. Operation compartments with differ-
entiated temperatures.
Bottom Compartment:
The temperature can be adjusted be-
tween + 11 and + 18°C. This compart-
ment is ideal for storing and refining red
or white wines for long periods.
The temperatures of this compartment
are suitable for storing aged and full-
bodied wines.
Lay the bottles down in such a way that
the corks do not dry.
Keep the wine in the dark. The door is in
anti-UV darkened double glass to pro-
tect the wine from the light in case the
refrigerator is located in a well-lit place.
Avoid switching the appliance light on
too often or for too long. Wine keeps
better in the dark.
Handle the bottles with care, to avoid
agitating the wine.
Follow the recommendations and advice
received at the time of purchase or given
in the technical documentation regard-
ing the quality, duration and optimum
storage temperature of the wine.
3.3 Storage advice
The storage time for wine depends on
ageing, the type of grapes, alcoholic
content and level of fructose and tannin
contained in it.At the time of purchase,
check if the wine is already aged or if it
will improve over time.
Recommended storage temperatures:
• For champagne and sparkling wines,
between 6 and 8°C• For white wines, between 10 and 12°C
• For rose’ and light red wines, between
12 and 16°C
• Aged red wines, 14 -16°C
When placing various bottles on top of
each other, make sure they do not touch
the refrigerator cooling plate.

							3.6 Humidifier
The right humidity is vitally important for
the proper storage of wine.
Your Wine Cellar is fitted with a special
humidifying device that increases the hu-
midity inside the appliance.
Spread out the lava stones provided
along the small tray as show in the pic-
ture. Then fill the tray with water up to
the half of its capacity.
In normal operation, the lava stones are
regularly humidified by the water, peri-
odically check at water present inside
the tray and refill it when needed.
Note that if the humidity in the area in
which your appliance is installed is par-
ticularly high, the interior of your Wine
Cellar will also be relatively more humid.
This may result in bottles misting up
when the door is opened or labels peel-
ing off. In this case reduce the quantity
of water in the tray accordingly.
3.7 Air circulation
The refrigerator compartment has a spe-
cial AIRLIGHT fan which is automatically
activated in function of the appliance
thermostat setting and ambient condi-
tions.
4. CARE AND CLEANING
CAUTION!
Unplug the appliance before car-
rying out any maintenance oper-
ation.
This appliance contains hydrocar-
bons in its cooling unit; mainte-
nance and recharging musttherefore only be carried out by
authorized technicians.
4.1 Periodic cleaning
The equipment has to be cleaned regu-
larly:
ENGLISH9 
						

							• clean the inside and accessories with
lukewarm water and some neutral
soap.
• regularly check the door seals and
wipe clean to ensure they are clean
and free from debris.
• rinse and dry thoroughly.
Do not pull, move or damage
any pipes and/or cables inside
the cabinet.
Never use detergents, abrasive
powders, highly perfumed clean-
ing products or wax polishes to
clean the interior as this will dam-
age the surface and leave a
strong odour.
Clean the condenser (black grill) and the
compressor at the back of the appliance
with a brush. This operation will improve
the performance of the appliance and
save electricity consumption.
Take care of not to damage the
cooling system.
Many proprietary kitchen surface clean-
ers contain chemicals that can attack/damage the plastics used in this appli-
ance. For this reason it is recommended
that the outer casing of this appliance is
only cleaned with warm water with a little
washing-up liquid added.
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment
to the mains supply.
4.2 Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for
long periods, take the following precau-
tions:
•disconnect the appliance from elec-
tricity supply
• remove all food
• defrost (if foreseen) and clean the ap-
pliance and all accessories
• leave the door/doors ajar to prevent
unpleasant smells.
If the cabinet will be kept on, ask some-
body to check it once in a while to pre-
vent the food inside from spoiling in
case of a power failure.
4.3 Defrosting of the refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from
the evaporator of the refrigerator com-
partment every time the motor compres-
sor stops, during normal use. The de-
frost water drains out through a trough
into a special container at the back of
the appliance, over the motor compres-
sor, where it evaporates.
Periodically clean the defrost water drain
hole in the middle of the refrigerator
compartment channel to prevent the wa-
ter overflowing and dripping onto the
food inside. Use the special cleaner pro-
vided, which you will find already inser-
ted into the drain hole.
