Bottle arrangement Place bottles in middle of rack. [. . . ] Also, the bottles of wine must be stored away from substances or places with strong odours, which can be easily absorbed by the wine. Therefore, your new appliance has an active carbon filter to absorb any impurities in the air. Temperature and humidity Temperature is a critical and vital factor during the entire life-cycle of wine; it determines how well the wine develops when aged in the bottle. For optimum storage, the temperature must be kept constant between 8 and 12°C. Rapid and considerable temperature changes must be avoided: when the temperature is too high, the liquids expand, accelerating the ageing process, whereas excessively low temperatures (below 4 - 5°C) can cause tartrate precipitations, a defect that compromises the pleasant appearance of the wine. In the extreme case of the temperature falling below 0°C, the wine would freeze causing the cork to burst Humidity is also crucial for good storage: dry places cause the cork to shrink, whereas too damp places cause mould and harmful microorganisms to form. The relative humidity must be kept between 50% - 70%. Storage place Not everyone has a basement suitable for use as a cellar. Technology has only recently provided an effective substitute for the classic cellar. Your new wine cellar is a special appliance specifically designed to hold and store wines properly. In fact, it should only be used for your favourite bottles of wine, and not for fruit, vegetables and tins. In this way, you can suitably age, store and taste any kind of wine, even if you do not have a cellar space. The cork The cork is a basic component of the bottle: its quality, selected by the wine-maker, is very important for correct ageing of the wine. The perfect conditions of the cork, including corks of the bottles purchased, depend exclusively on the standards of use and storage employed by the producer or bottler. Storing A golden rule for storing your wine bottles is to lay them horizontally or tilted to ensure that the wine keeps the cork wet. Be careful not to damage the seal when removing the rack from the appliance. Therefore is it advisable to open the door fully. TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE 1. The appliance does not work. •Is there a power failure?•Is the plug properly inserted in the socket?•Is the mains double-pole switch turned on?•Is the thermostat set to z (Stop)? 4. The appliance is excessively noisy. •Has the appliance been installed correctly?•Are the pipes at the back touching or vibrating? 5. Water collects at the bottom of the cellar. •Is the defrost water drain blocked?Notes: Gurgling and hissing noises due to expansion in the refrigerant circuit are normal. 2. The temperature inside the wine cellar is not cold enough. •Is the door properly closed? [. . . ] • Fit the accessories supplied. Electrical connection • Electrical connections must be made in compliance with local regulations. • Data regarding voltage and absorbed power are specified on the rating plate inside the appliance. • Earthing of the appliance is compulsory by law. The Manufacturer declines any liability for injury to persons or animals or damage to property due to non-compliance with the above regulations. [. . . ]
