Using the wine cellar compartments
Bottle arrangement
Each removable shelf can hold up to 6 standard
0.75 litre Bordeaux-type wine bottles.
The extractable shelves can hold up to 4
champagne/sparkling wine type bottles (or in
any case slightly larger in diameter compared
to traditional wine bottles) horizontally.
Activated charcoal filter
To replace the activated charcoal filter:
1. turn the filter cap 90° to the left or right.
2. Extract the cap from its seat.
3. Replace the activated charcoal filter with a
new one.
4. Replace the filter cap following the
indications in points 1 and 2.
Noises during operation
The wine cellar is cooled by means of a
compression system. In order to maintain the
preset temperature inside the wine cellar, the
compressor comes into operation in response to
the level of cooling required, and may operate
continuously if necessary. When the compressor
starts up a humming sound will be heard,
tending to drop in volume after a few minutes.
A maximum of 38 Bordeaux-type 0.75
litre bottles can be stored.
Do not place bottles horizontally on the
base of the wine cellar. They could fall
when the door is opened.
To maintain optimum air quality inside
the wine cellar, the activated charcoal
filter must be replaced at least once a
year.
Replacement filters can be ordered
from Authorised Service Centres.

Another normal wine cellar operating noise is a
gurgling due to the refrigerant flowing through
the pipes in the circuit. This noise is normal and
does not indicate an appliance malfunction.
Turning the appliance off
Whenever the appliance is to remain unused for
long periods, it should be switched off.
1. Press and hold the ON/OFF key on the
control panel for a few seconds until the
appliance turns off.
2. Unplug the appliance from the wall socket.
3. Empty the wine cellar.
4. Dry any residual moisture which has
accumulated with a soft cloth.
Leave the door ajar to prevent the humidity and
trapped air from creating unpleasant smells.
Alarms
Each alarm consists of a message flashing on
the display, and an audible warning.
The display continues to flash until the alarm
condition finishes.
• To deactivate the alarm press any key or the
key (if available).
Temperature alarm
The temperature on the display may start to
flash. This means that the temperature inside the
wine cellar compartment is too high or too low
in relation to that set.
This may occur:
• when the appliance is first turned on;
• if a temperature much higher or much lower
than the previous one is set;
• if the wine cellar is loaded with many bottles
at ambient temperature;
• in the event of an extended interruption in
mains voltage.
These conditions may occur during normal
operations of the appliance and are not caused
by problems/faults.
In this case, deactivate the alarm through any
key on the control panel (or, on some models
only, through the key ) and wait for the
temperature to return within the normal storage
values. It may be necessary to repeat this
operation 1–2 times.
Alarm for door open
The display shows : the door has been left
open for more than 60 seconds.
• Close the door.
Fault alarms
The display shows from to (
excluded) or or or or :
appliance fault.
• Switch off the appliance and call Technical
Support.
Connectivity alarms (on some models only)
The display shows : appliance fault.
The App shows : appliance fault.
• Contact technical support.
For further information, please read the
Connectivity Manual.
Preservation tips
White wines
White wines, compared to red wines, are
generally more acidic and lower in tannins. An
acidic beverage should generally be stored at
a slightly lower temperature than others to better
appreciate its characteristics, which is why these
wines should be stored at temperatures
between 50°F (10°C) and 57°F (14°C).
Young, fresh and aromatic white wines can also
be served at a temperature of 50°F (10°C)
while less aromatic ones at 54°F (12°C). Soft,
ripe white wines aged for a few years in the
bottle bear higher temperatures and can be
served between 54°F (12°C) and 57°F
(14°C).
Serving a white wine at higher temperatures
means enhancing its "sweet" characters at the
expense of the acidity and savoriness that are
instead considered pleasant and desired
The alarms help protect the wine from
temperatures which could compromise
its quality.
If the alarm continues to occur, call
Technical Support.
The alarm will reactivate in the same
way 60 seconds after it is shut off if the
door is still open.
In case of alarm the appliance
continues cooling wines.

characteristics in this type of wine.
Rosé wines
Serving rosé wines generally follows the same
rules as white wines. However, it is necessary to
consider the possible tannin content of these
wines and therefore serve them at a higher
temperature so as not to make them too
astringent. Young and fresh rosé wines, tannin
content permitting, are served between 50°F
(10°C) and 54°F (12°C), while the more
robust and full-bodied ones, including the more
mature ones, can be served between 54°F
(12°C) and 57°F (14°C).
Red wines
The serving temperature of red wines depends
on many factors, but given their "tannin content"
and less acidic nature than whites, they are
usually served at higher temperatures. Young
red wines with little tannin are usually served
between 57°F (14°C) and 61°F (16°C), while
full-bodied ones can be served as high as 61°F
(16°C), exceptionally even 64°F (18°C).
Young tannic and unstructured red wines can
also be served between 54°F (12°C) and
57°F (14°C) without being astringent and
remain appealing. This rule applies to "novello"
wines, which, due to their special winemaking
technique, are low in tannins and can be served
cooler than other red wines, while still being
enjoyable.
Sparkling wines
Given the large number of types of sparkling
wines that exist, establishing one rule that
applies to all would make little sense. Sweet
and aromatic white sparkling wines should be
served at a temperature of 46°F (8°C). In fact,
due to their aromaticity, they can withstand low
temperatures.
Sweet red sparkling wines such as Brachetto
can be served at temperatures between 50°F
(10°C) and 54°F (12°C). Again, the more
aromatic sparkling wines will tolerate lower
temperatures down to 46°F (8°C), while those
that are a bit more tannic will need to be raised
to as high as 57°F (14°C).
So-called "Charmat method" or "Martinotti
method" dry sparkling wines, such as some
Proseccos, can be served at temperatures
between 46°F (8°C) and 50°F (10°C).
A special consideration should be made for
"classic method" and "méthode Champenoise"
sparkling wines such as Champagne: generally
these sparkling wines are served at
temperatures between 8°C and 50°F (10°C),
however when it comes to important vintage
wines or at any rate sparkling wines aged for a
long time, one can go as high as 54°F (12°C)
so as to encourage the development of the
complex aromas that have slowly and
laboriously developed over time.
Raisin and fortified wines
The common characteristic of these two types of
wines is usually a high percentage of alcohol,
and both are often sweet. However, there are
some dry fortified wines, e.g., Marsala, that
contain so much sugar that it is not noticeable to
the taste. For these wines, the serving
temperature should be determined according to
what you intend to enhance. If you prefer to
accentuate the sweet characteristics of the wine,
the complexity of its aroma and its austerity, it
will be good to serve it at a high temperature,
between 57°F (14°C) and 64°F (18°C),
remembering in this case that it will also be the
alcohol that will be enhanced.
If you intend to favor their freshness, or in the
case of very sweet wines where you prefer to
mitigate this aspect, you will need to serve them
at a lower temperature between 50°F (10°C)
and 57°F (14°C).
Fresh, young dry fortified wines can also be
served at cooler temperatures below 50°F
(10°C). This will greatly reduce the perception
of alcohol. However, it is necessary to
remember that the lower the temperature, the
less the aromas will develop. The pleasantness
and complexity of aromas typical of these wines
is a welcome and interesting feature; serving
them too cold also means sacrificing this
important aspect.
Storage temperatures
To appreciate the organoleptic qualities of any
wine properly, storage and consumption must
be done at certain temperatures. The following
ideal temperatures are recommended for
different types of wine.
Type of wine
Temp.
(°F) (°C)
Young whites 50-54 10-12
Mature whites 54-57 12-14
