The ventilation system: Charcoal filter
PURE AIR continually changed and filtered.
Your Climadiff wine cellar is equipped with a continuous fresh air system, filtered by a charcoal filter.
This is a 5 cm diameter black plastic washer in the top left of the cellar at the back. It should be replaced annually
and can be bought from the accessories section of our web site a
To remove it, push it inwards and do not be afraid to tap it a little to break its seal with the insulation. Finish
removing it by putting your hand behind the evaporator cover.
The hole visible in the rear lower section is normal and provides negative pressure, to ensure internal air
circulation.

The anti-vibration system:
Wine does not like to be disturbed. It especially dislikes vibration.
This is why your wine cellar‟s slow-cycle compressor is mounted on special shock absorbers called "silent
blocks".
Likewise, the inner container is insulated from the body by a thick layer of polyurethane foam which also has the
particular feature of absorbing vibration.
Depending on the model, the wine bottle shelves are made of solid wood and absorb vibration better than metal.
On some models, the shelf supports are also equipped with rubber pads.
Your bottles are enjoying perfect peace!
The humidification system: Lava rock
Humidity fluctuates around 55% (±10); this is the average relative humidity range recommended to keep the corks
in your bottles sufficiently moist to maintain the flexibility and elasticity required to seal them hermetically against
liquids, while allowing your wines to breathe.
The lava rocks serve to regulate the humidity within the cellar. They should be dampened and placed in the
condensation water recovery trough, above the compressor and below the evaporator. Care should be taken not
to obstruct the water evacuation hole at the centre of the trough.
To better direct the running water to the trough, it is recommended that you slightly raise the cellar‟s front feet
while keeping it horizontally level.
