ACTIVESMART™ SPECIAL FEATURES
Variable temperature zones
The serving temperature of your wine is crucial for your taste and enjoyment, therefore
‘Wine Modes’ have been carefully designed to both care for your wine and provide the
ideal serving temperature for all wine varieties.
The separate modes allow you to adjust the temperature in both compartments
independently.
Not all wines will improve over time. Check with your wine merchant for more
information regarding the best storage conditions for your wine.

WINE CARE
Having purchased our dual-zone Integrated Wine Cabinet, you can rest assured that
your wines are well cared for. Your Integrated Wine Cabinet model has been designed
to carefully consider both the maturation and ideal drinking temperature of all wine
varieties. Our Wine Modes have been created to offer guidance for the perfect storage
conditions for your wine, whilst allowing you adjustability to suit your personal needs.
Temperature
Temperature control is critical for the maturation of wines, as significant daily or weekly
temperature fluctuations can denature wines. If storage temperatures are excessively
high this can reduce the wines aromatic potential and can speed up maturation. This
can cause some wines to take on a ‘spoiled fruit’ flavouring. If storage temperatures are
excessively low, this can have the opposite effect and stunt a wine’s natural maturation
process. This can prevent a wine’s flavours from developing to their full potential.
Humidity
Optimum humidity levels are also important for the storage of cork enclosed wines,
especially for long term storage. Dry environments can lead to dried out corks
encouraging wine evaporation as well as oxygen permeation leading to oxidised wine.
As for extremely humid conditions, there is potential for mould growth on bottles and
labels.
UV-Tempered Glass Door
Light is known to be damaging to wines, particularly UV light. Light can react with wine,
creating hydrogen sulphide compounds affecting the tannins and colour. Your Integrated
Wine Cabinet has been designed to eliminate this threat by incorporating a double
UV-tempered glass door, dark interiors and dimmed LED lighting.
Vibration
Your Integrated Wine Cabinet model has been designed to have minimal vibrations,
important for optimal wine care.
Ventilation
Wine should be stored in an odour-free environment. You Integrated Wine Cabinet
model comes with an activated carbon air filter to assist with removing taint and odour
inside each compartment.
Helpful tips:
●
Follow our pre-set Wine Modes as a guideline for optimal storage and the perfect
drinking temperature.
●
For entertaining, choose from one of our four Light Modes. Light Modes will default
to Low after a certain duration to ensure the best wine care.
●
If storing wine for long durations we recommend turning the Light Mode to Off.
●
Store bottles lying flat on their sides to keep the liquid up against the cork which should
keep the corks from drying out.
●
Allow red wine to breathe. We suggest opening the bottle at least 1 hour before serving.
Alternatively, decant red wine into a decanter.

The Integrated Wine Cabinet has a recommended maximum storage capacity of 91
standard 750ml bottles. The loading arrangement outlined is recommended when using
the wine cabinet at full capacity. Racks may be removed to store larger sized bottles.
DOs
●
Before loading wine into the cabinet confirm
that all racks are secured and stable.
●
Stack wine bottles of same sizes to enable
easy access if required.
●
Only interlock wine bottles of the same size.
This ensures the first tier is stable to allow
stacking.
●
Follow the recommended loading arrangement
outlined for each rack.
DON’Ts
●
Do not load more than the recommended
number of wine bottles on each rack.
●
Do not interlock wine bottles of different sizes
that do not fit well together on a rack.
LOADING YOUR WINE BOTTLES
IMPORTANT!
●
When stacking bottles, take extra care to
avoid breakages.
●
A net or vented mat can be used between
bottles in a stack to minimise risk of
breakage. Alternatively, net sleeves can be
used to protect individual bottles.
●
Ensure the protector sleeve or mat you use
allows sufficient air flow and is odour free.
17
Activated carbon filters
Air quality is critical for preserving wine. Your product is
fitted with two activated carbon filters that help remove
stale, unwanted odours and replenishes with fresh air. The
filters are located internally at the bottom rear of each
compartment.
We recommend replacing the activated carbon filter every
6 months. A replacement indicator icon on the control panel
illuminates when the carbon filters needs to be replaced.

●
Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasives, ammonia, chlorine, bleach, concentrated
detergents, solvents or abrasive scouring pads on any part of your appliance.
Some of these chemicals may damage your appliance.
●
Wipe interior surfaces with a mild liquid detergent dissolved in warm water and a soft
cloth. Rinse with clean water and dry with a clean, lint-free cloth.
Wooden racks
Do not use water or cleaners for general (day-to-day) cleaning as they will damage
the wood. Wine spills should be immediately wiped up to avoid rack staining. If a wine
stain has appeared, it may be spot cleaned using mild liquid detergent dissolved in
warm water and a soft cloth. Only just dampen the cloth and dab the stain to keep the
wood as dry as possible. Follow up using a damp (water only), soft cloth and then dry
thoroughly with a clean, dry cloth. If racks are heavily stained, the colour may darken
over time.
Replacement racks can be purchased through Fisher & Paykel Customer Care Centre, or
online at finsherpaykel.com (this service is available to selected markets only)

compartment. This noise will only last for a few seconds at a time.
●
Fan air flow sound. Integrateds has fans which change speed depending on demand.
During cooling periods, such as after frequent door openings, fans circulate thecoldair
in the appliance producing some air flow sound. This is quite normal.
●
Cracking or popping sounds. This may occur when the automatic defrost function
isoperating.
●
Running water sound. This is the liquid refrigerant in the system and can be heard
asaboiling or gurgling noise.
●
Humming sounds. This is the compressor running and is quite normal.
