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.

Humidity maintenance system
Hygrometry of our wine cellars is regulated by itself by the principle of hygrodynamics. During cooling process, there is a formation of frost (the cold dries the air), humidity can drop to 50%. During warming period, frost melts and the rate can rise above 75%. By averaging the 2 values, we obtain a humidity level suitable for wine storage. It is imperative to reason in average value over several cycles and not from a one-off statement.

In case you want to increase the moisture level in your wine cellar, you can put a bowl of water at the bottom of your unit, making sure it is stable and cannot spill.

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.

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.

Screen energy save function 

  1. Screen lock status, no operation for 90 seconds, the screen will turn to comparely darker
  2. Unlock the screen to recover

Temperature recollection function:
In the event of a power interruption, wine cooler can remember the previous temperature settings, and when the power is recovery, the cooler temperature will go back the same setting temperature as power off.

High and low temperature alarm function
This cellar is equipped with a high and low temperature alarm. The unit will sound an audible alarm and the display alternately displays the HI or LO alarm code and the current cellar temperature.

The alarm is deactivated by pressing one of the buttons.
In this case, please unplug your cellar and contact your after-sales service.

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.

Types of bottle:

Climadiff-CS31B1-Service-Wine-Cellar-6

We see here 4 kinds of 75 cl wine bottles: Burgundy and Bordeaux wine bottles of different dimensions. There are many others of all shapes and sizes.
For example, if a wine cellar is loaded only with Burgundy wine bottles, there will be approximately 30% fewer bottles than the initial quantity calculated for Bordeaux bottles.

Announced capacity
The announced capacity is the maximum capacity calculated with a defined number of shelves, which varies according to the model. This standard is calculated with 75cl bottles of the traditional Bordeaux type. Any other type of bottle size and the addition of shelves will considerably reduce the storage capacity.

The capacity of your wine cellar is measured according to the EN62552 standard.

  • For the reference CB31B1, the maximum capacity has been calculated with 3 shelves.
  • For the reference CB41B1, the maximum capacity has been calculated with 4 shelves.
  • For the reference CB63B1, the maximum capacity has been calculated with 4 shelves.
  • For the reference CD41B1, the maximum capacity has been calculated with 4 shelves.
  • For the reference CD56B1, the maximum capacity has been calculated with 4 shelves.
  • For the reference CD110B1, the maximum capacity has been calculated with 4 shelves.

Examples of serving temperatures
To be observed when tasting, in order to avoid missing out on the rich aromas of your wines! Opinions vary, and the ambient temperature too, but many people agree on the following:

  • Prestigious Bordeaux wines – Reds 16 – 17°C
  • Prestigious Burgundy wines – Reds 15 – 16°C
  • Prestigious dry white vintages 14 – 16°C
  • Light, young, fruity reds 11 – 12°C
  • Provence rosés, primeur wines 10 – 12°C
  • Dry whites and vin de pays reds 10 – 12°C
  • Vin de pays whites 8 – 10°C
  • Champagnes 7 – 8°C
  • Sweet wines 6°C

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Before cleaning your appliance (something that should be done regularly), disconnect it by removing the plug or by pulling the fuse on the circuit.

Before using your appliance for the first time and regularly after that, we recommend that you clean the inside and outside (front, side and top) with warm mixed with a gentle cleaning product. Rinse with clean water and allow to dry before reconnecting. Do not use solvents or abrasives.

When the appliance is switched on for the first time, there may be a residual odour. In that case, runt the appliance empty for a few hours at the coldest possible temperature. The cold will kill any odours.

In case of a power cut
Most power cuts are resolved within a short time. A power cut of 1 or 2 hours will not affect the temperature in your cabinet. To protect your wines during a power cut, avoid opening the door as much as possible. During very long power cuts, take the necessary measures to protect your wine.

  • If the appliance is disconnected or if there is a power cut, you must wait three to five minutes before restarting. If you try to restart before this time, the compressor will only restart after 3 to 5 minutes (if the temperature requires).
  • When switching on for the first time or following a prolonged shutdown, it is possible that when restarting, the temperatures selected and those displayed are not the same. This is normal. It will take a few hours before they stabilize.

Vacation time 

  • Short vacations: leave the wine cooler operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
  • Long vacations: if the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all items and turn off the appliance. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door open slightly: blocking it open if necessary.

Moving your wine cooler 

  • Remove all items.
  • Securely tape down all loose items (shelves) inside your appliance.
  • Turn the adjustable leg up to the base to avoid damage.
  • Tape the door shut.
  • Be sure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation. Also protect outside of appliance with a blanket, or similar item.

Energy saving tips 

  • The wine cooler should be located in the coolest area of the room (but at least at 16°C), away from heat producing appliances, and out of the direct sunlight.
  • Ensure that the unit is adequately ventilated. Never cover air vents.
  • Only open the door for as long as necessary.

IN THE EVENT OF A BREAKDOWN

Despite the care we take during production, a breakdown can never be totally ruled out. Before contacting your retailer’s after-sales department, please check that:

  • The appliance is properly plugged in
  • There is not a power cut in progress
  • The breakdown is not one of those described in the table at the end of this manual

IMPORTANT: if the power cable supplied is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, a service centre approved by the brand or the retailer. In all events, it must be replaced by qualified personnel in order to avoid any risk of injury.
IF THESE CHECKS REVEAL NOTHING, THEN CONTACT YOUR RETAILER’S AFTER-SALES DEPARTMENT.

CAUTION! Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance or repair work.

This appliance consists of light-emitting diodes (LEDs). This type of diode cannot be changed by the consumer. The lifetime of these LEDs is normally sufficient for no change to be made. If however, and despite all the care taken during the manufacture of your wine cellar, the LEDs were defective, please contact your after-sales service for any intervention.
