7.1 Lighting

To provide optimum interior lighting, LED strips

illuminate the refrigerator compartment from the

top and sets of LED lights directly illuminate dif-

ferent areas of the refrigerator compartment, of

the Fresh drawers and the freezer drawer.

In case of malfunction and/or failure of the light-

ing system, you should contact an authorized

Service Agent.

Note

Once activated, the light of the top com-

partment will automatically shut off after

6 hours.

8.1 Use of the Fresh Zone compartment

The Fresh Zone compartment, used in conjunc-

tion with the Top Cellar and Lower Cellar com-

partment, allows great flexibility in the use of the

appliance.

Some possible uses:

Freezer mode

> Liquors, such as vodka, gin, tequila, schnapps,

limoncello and the glasses to serve them

> Rapid cooling of beverages, by activating the

beverage cooler function

> Storage of large amounts of ice.

Refrigerator mode

> As expansion of the Top Cellar or of the Lower

Cellar

> For refrigeration of beer and soft drinks

> For storage of cold dishes and snacks.

Fresh mode

> For conservation of ham, salmon

> Gourmet preparations.

It comes without saying that, the compartment can

be used in a traditional manner. Suggestions and

instructions are provided to oer you best conser-

vation of your food over time in complete safety.

9.1 General directions

As is known, wine can be stored for long periods

of time if this is done under the following condi-

tions:

> Suitable temperature without appreciable vari-

ations over time

> Controlled level of humidity

> Protection from light

> Absence of noise and vibrations

> Absence of odours

> Bottle kept horizontal.

All of these conditions are fully met in the Top

Cellar.

9.2 Conservation temperature

The space offered by the Top Cellar and Lower

Cellar compartments, which can be expanded as

necessary by using the Fresh Zone compartment

as a wine cellar, allows conservation of your best

wines at three different temperatures.

The three compartments are initially set to the

following temperatures:

> Lower Cellar compartment

+12° C (53 ° F) - adjustable from +4° C to +18° C

(from 39° F to 64° F)

> Top Cellar compartment

+10° C (50° F) - adjustable from +4° C to +18° C

(from 39° F to 64° F)

> Fresh Zone drawer

-18° (0° F) - adjustable from -13° C to -23° C

(from 9° F to -11° F) (freezer mode)

To transform the Fresh Zone compartment into

a Top Cellar space, you must access the Menu,

set it as a refrigerator compartment, and adjust it

to a temperature between +4° C and +8° C (from

39.2° F to 46.4° F).

All the temperatures can be modified accord-

ing to the characteristics of the wines and per-

sonal preferences. However, you should attempt

to keep the temperature as constant as possible

over time.

Rapid and large-scale temperature variations

can in fact cause dilation of the liquid and early

aging of the wine.

You should also avoid very low temperatures (be-

low 1° C - 34° F ) which may lead to the formation

of deposits and damage the aesthetic qualities of

the wine.

All the compartments offer optimal conditions

and take into account all these needs. It should

however be noted that the Lower Cellar compart-

ment, in particular, is thermostatically controlled

in a very precise manner and ensures the utmost

care and attention over time of your most prized

bottles. When the Lower Cellar compartment is

set below +10° C (50° F) the Top Cellar must not

be set beyond +12° C (53° F).

9. CONSERVATION OF WINES

9.3 Time of conservation

Improvement of wine over time and its duration usually depends on the character of the variety and its

type. The following chart shows the best period of conservation and aging for various types in ideal con-

servation conditions offered by your appliance.

However, you should always follow the instructions of the winemaker, especially for fine wines.

TYPE OF WINE CONSERVATION TEMPERATURE TIME OF CONSERVATION

New wines (Vin Nouveau) from 12° to 14° C 6 months

Sweet sparkling wines from 8° to 10° C 1 year

Rosé from 10° to 14° C 1 year

Semi-sparkling wines from 10° to 12° C 1 - 2 years

Normal white wines from 10° to 14° C 1 - 2 years

Light red wines from 12° to 14° C 2 years

Dry sparkling wines from 8° to 10° C 2 years

Classic sparkling wines from 8° to 10° C 3 - 4 years

Barrique and Vigorous white wines from 8° to 12° C 3 - 5 years

Normal red wines from 14° to 16° C 3 - 5 years

Barrique and Vigorous red wines from 14° to 18° C 7 - 10 years

Straw wines or Liquorous wines from 16° to 18° C 10 - 15 years

9.4 Consumption temperature

As a general rule, white wines should be served

at a temperature between 10 and 12° C (50 and

53,6°F) and red wines between 12 and 14° C (53,6

and 57,2°F).

Some wines may however be best enjoyed at

higher or lower temperatures.

You should also keep in mind that, during the

summer, wine is generally enjoyed at lower tem-

peratures than during the winter.

You should also consider the following:

White wines

White wines are normally not served at high tem-

peratures, since they are generally more acidic

that red wines and not very tannic. Therefore they

are more enjoyable at low temperatures.

It is preferable to serve these wines between

10° C and 14° C (50°F and 57,2°F). Young, fresh

and aromatic wines can also be served at 10° C

(50°F), while less aromatic ones are served at

12° C (53,6°F).

Temperatures between 12° C and 14° C (53,6°F

and 57,2°F) are for soft, mature white wines that

have been aged for some years in the bottle.

Higher temperatures would favour the exaltation

of the sweet character of the wine, at the expense

of the acidity and flavour, which are considered

pleasant and desirable characteristics of this

type of wine.

Rosé

Rosé wine is served at the same temperature as

white wines. It should be noted that these wines

may include a certain amount of tannin and may

therefore be preferable at higher temperatures.

Therefore, they are served between 10° C and

12° C (50°F and 53,6°F), if young and fresh, and

between 12° C and 14° C (53,6°F and 57,2°F) if

robust and mature.

New wines (Vin Nouveau)

Due to the special processing they undergo, new

vintage wines contain a low tannin content and

are therefore more enjoyable if served between

12° C and 14° C (53,6 and 57,2°F).

Red wines

Since they contain more tannin and are less acid-

ic, red wines are normally served at higher tem-

peratures.

Younger wines with less tannin are normally

served between 14° C and 16° C (57,2 and 60,8°F),

while more full-bodied ones that are more tan-

nic may be served at up to 18° C (64,4°F). Some

wines that have aged for years in the bottle, still

full-bodies and tannic, may be served at 18°C

(64,4°F) or even 20° C (68°F).

Young red wines with little tannin and slightly

structured may be enjoyable at lower tempera-

tures, between 12° C and 14° C (53,6 and 57,2°F).

Sparkling wines

It is difficult to provide instructions to cover the

wide variety of sparkling wines in available.

As a general rule, sweeter and more aromatic

sparkling wines should be served at lower tem-

peratures, down to 8° C (46,4°F), whereas more

tannic sparkling wines may be served at higher

temperatures, up to 14° C (57,2°F).

Dry sparkling wines are usually served between

8° C and 10° C (46,4 and 50°F).

“Classic” sparkling wines are normally served

at these temperatures, which may be as high as

12° C (53,6°F) for sparkling wines that have been

aged for some time.

It is however advisable, especially for finer wines,

to follow the suggestions and recommendations

of the winemaker on the bottle.

Liqueur and straw wines

These types of wines can be served at tempera-

tures between 16° C and 18° C (60,8 and 64,4°F),

depending on personal tastes, to attenuate the

sweet taste of straw wines, it can also be served

at 10° C (50°F).

9.5 Position of bottles

The sliding shelves are made of fine wood and

contoured so as to hold bottles of the most clas-

sical traditional shape or of the most modern

design.

Whether your collection holds fine bouteilles or

petit bouteilles, they will be right at home in the

Top Cellar. A special accessory, available on re-

quest, will let you place them in an inclined posi-

tion, in order to display the labels of your most

prized items.

Also Magnum bouteilles can be stored, provided

you remove the shelf just above the one that will

hold them.

Warning

After a prolonged interruption of electri-

cal power, once the electrical power is re-

activated, an audible signal will indicate if

the temperature has raised above normal

levels. In addition to this the display will

show for one minute the highest temper-

ature detected inside the compartments,

to allow the user to decide how to better

use the food items.

After one minute the display will resume

normal operation, while the Alarm button

will continue to blink.

Press the Alarm button

to display the

highest recorded temperatures.

10. CARE AND CLEANING

10.1 Care and Cleaning

To clean the parts made of steel use a microfib-

er cloth and the sponge provided in the kit with

the appliance. Always use the cloth and sponge

in the direction of the steel’s satin finish.

Every now and then, to polish the steel, wipe

with a slightly damp microfiber cloth.

Do not use the sponge on aluminium parts, such

as the handles and the profiles of the glass

shelves.

You should use special care to keep the ventila-

tion openings in the appliance or in the cabinet

that houses it free of obstructions.

Scrupulously follow the detailed direc-

tions that can be found in the provided kit

and never use abrasive or metallic prod-

ucts which could scratch and damage the

satin finishing on the appliance perma-

nently.

Before performing any sort of cleaning,

disconnect the appliance from the electri-

cal power supply.

Make sure you do not damage the refrig-

erant circuit in any way.

Warning

The use of chlorine-based detergents or

similar that contains it should be avoided

(bleach, hypochlorite, etc).

10.2 Condenser cleaning

A ventilation grille is located either at the top of

the appliance or at the bottom according to the

model type.

To clean it use a vacuum cleaner with a soft

brush attachment at maximum power, sweep-

ing it along the vent slits. In case of a significant

dust build up, the ventilation grille can be re-

moved to allow a more accurate cleaning of the

filter.

Every 6 months the display shows the message

“Check Cond”, clean the condenser and press for

5 seconds the Enter

button to reset.

Operate as follows:

> Switch off the appliance by pressing the Unit

button on the main control panel for approx 3

seconds.

> Wait approx 30 minutes, until the finned con-

denser cools down to room temperature.

> On models with ventilation at the base remove

the grille at the bottom (magnetically attached)

and take it off. On models with ventilation lift the

grille as shown in the picture.

> Thoroughly clean the grille and the foam fil-

ter, by means of a vacuum cleaner and the soft

brush attachment.

> Clean it thoroughly from any dust build up as

shown in the picture, taking care not to damage

it.

> Start up the appliance again, by pressing the

Unit button

on the main

Warning

The edges of the condenser are sharp,

therefore use adequate protection for the

hands and arms when cleaning the con-

denser.

10.3 Internal cleaning

Clean the internal and removable parts by wash-

ing them with a solution of lukewarm water, a

small amount of dishwashing detergent.

Rinse and dry right away.

Do not use mechanical devices or other methods

to speed up defrosting.

Warning

Do not use water on the electrical parts,

lights and control panel.

Warning

The use of chlorine-based detergents or

similar that contains it should be avoided

(bleach, hypochlorite, etc).

11. TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Note

Do not bring cold glass parts into contact

with boiling water.

Do not wash any parts of the refrigerator

in a dishwashing machine since this could

damage or irreparably deform the parts.

11.1 Troubleshooting guide

If you notice malfunctions in your appliance, use

this guide before calling Service. This guide may

help you resolve the problem yourself or could

provide important information to ensure rapid

and effective service.

Malfunction message

A malfunction is usually indicated on the display.

Problems that cannot be resolved by the user are

signalled through a malfunction code.

The appliance does not work

Is the appliance connected to the electrical pow-

er supply?

Does electrical power arrive at the electrical

socket?

Is the Unit key

activated?

Is the condenser clean?

The internal temperatures are

higher than normal

Does the display show a malfunction code?

Is the temperature adjusted correctly?

Is the condenser clean?

Were the doors or drawers open for a long period

of time?

Were large quantities of food recently inserted?

The appliance remains in function for a long

time period

Bear in mind that during a very hot weather and

with very high temperatures in the room it is nor-

mal that the compressor remains in operation for

prolonged periods of time.

Were the doors or drawers open for a long period

of time?

Were large quantities of food recently inserted?

Is the condenser clean?

Check that the doors are closed and that the food

or containers do not obstruct the perfect closure

of the door.

If you hear strange noises

It is normal to hear noise from the fans or com-

pressors during the defrost phase.

Noise could be louder depending on the position

of the appliance and the surrounding environ-

ment.

Condensation forms both inside and out

If the climate is very humid, the formation of con-

densation is normal. Opening the door or draw-

ers for prolonged periods of time can contribute

to the formation of condensation.

In any case, make sure that the doors are always

perfectly closed.

The Refrigerator or Freezer has frost or ice

Did you leave the doors open for a long period of

time?

Do the doors close perfectly?

If the doors do not close perfectly, contact your

installer.

Unpleasant odours inside the refrigerator

Clean the appliance completely as indicated in

this manual.

Hermetically cover all the food. Do not conserve

food for prolonged periods of time.

The doors are difficult to open

The appliance was designed to permit hermetic

closure.

When the door is closed, a vacuum situation can

occur: in this case it is necessary to wait a few

seconds until the pressure balances before open-

ing the door.
