6. EQUIPMENT
The climate control system
According to advice from specialists, the ideal temperature for storing wine is around 12°C, within a
bracket of 10 to 14°C. Do not confuse this with service temperature, which varies between 5 and 20°C,
depending on the specific nature of the wine.
It is especially important to avoid sudden changes in temperature. Designed by specialists for
oenophiles, this appliance, unlike a simple refrigerator, takes into account the sensitivity of grand cru
wines to sudden variations in temperature by ensuring the close control of a constant average
temperature.
The anti-vibration system
The refrigeration compressor is equipped with special dampers (silent-blocks) and the inner space is
insulated from the body by a thick layer of polyurethane foam. These characteristics prevent the
transmission of vibration to your wines.
The anti-UV system
Light accelerates the ageing of wine. In our solid door cellars, your wines are naturally protected, on
condition, of course, that the door is not opened too often. This glass-door model has been specially
treated and filters out harmful ultraviolet rays, thus ensuring your wines are perfectly shielded.
The winter function
The winter function is a frost protection system which enables the cellar to operate in an environment
where the temperature is between 5 and 32°C. This is a low power element to avoid sudden rises in the
temperature of the wine and so avoid thermal shocks that are damaging to the preservation of the wine.
The kit is intended to raise the cellar's internal temperature even before there is a thermal exchange
with the bottles.
Defrosting
Your appliance is equipped with an automatic defrost cycle. When a cooling cycle finishes, the
appliance's refrigerated surfaces are defrosted automatically. The defrost water is channeled into a
condensates evaporation tray which is located in the back of the appliance near the compressor. The
heat produced by the compressor then evaporates the condensates collected in the tray.
Shelves
▪
To prevent damage to the door seal, ensure that the door is fully open before pulling out the shelves
to add or remove bottles.
▪
For easier access to the contents of the shelves, slide the shelf out approximately one third of the
way. The shelves are, however, fitted with a stop to prevent the bottles falling out.
