Using the wine cooler
Wine cooler
To obtain the best performance the temperature can
be adjusted between +6 and + 16°C.
This compartment is ideal for storing and refining
red or white wines for long periods.
Lay the bottles down in such a way that the corks
do not dry.
Keep the wine in the dark. The door is anti-UV
darkened double glazed glass to protect the wine
from the light in case the appliance is located in a
well-lit place.
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 regarding the quality, duration and
optimum storage temperature for the wine.
Air circulation
Do not cover the shelves with any protective
material, such as paper, cardboard or plastic, which
may obstruct the air circulation through them.
Do not place the bottles at directly against the back
wall of the compartment which will obstruct the air
circulation through them.
Normal operating sounds
You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds
when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or
tubing at the rear, to the cooling plate/evaporator or
to the fixed freezer shelves.
When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being
pumped round, and you will hear a whirring sound or
pulsating noise from the compressor.
Movable shelves
The shelves can be inclined between the two
guides, making sure that the smallest pins are
properly inserted in the upper guide seat and the
front part of the shelf is resting on the front guide.
Adjust the wooden shelves as follows:
The short shelf can be placed on the two short
guides at the top.
The long shelf can be placed on the three long
middle guides and inclined between the last short
guide at the bottom and the shelf support structure.
The shelf support structure must be placed in the
bottom of the compartment.
Important: Only the long shelves can be inserted in
the shelf support structure.
