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.
▪
To remove or reposition the shelves, incline the shelf as indicated in the diagram,
then push or pull as required.
7. LOADING
The maximum recommended loading quantities for bottles are given as guidelines and are
indicative only; they provide a quick estimate of the size of the appliance (similar to the
capacity of a refrigerator expressed in liters).
They correspond to tests conducted with a standard bottle: the standard "75 cl light Bordeaux"
bottle -standards apply the geographical origin of each bottle shape (Bordeaux, Burgundy,
Provence, etc.) and a type (traditional, heavy, light, flute, etc.), each with its own diameter and
height.
In reality and in extreme cases, you could store more bottles by stacking the same type of
bottle without using shelves, but a varied cellar comprises a wide variety of bottles and the
practical aspect of everyday cellar management limits its capacity. You will therefore probably
load the appliance a little less than the recommended maximum.
