LOADING
The maximum amount of bottles able to be stored which is given, is only given as an indication , done in factory and is not
contractual. This indication (as with the capacity in liters of a refrigerator) is to give a quick estimation of the size of the
product. This indication corresponds to tests done with a standard bottle: the bottle type "Bordeaux tradition 75 cl" (the
standardized classification contains for each bottle a geographic origin (Bordeaux, Bourgogne, Provence,...), and a type
(traditional, heavy, light, flute,...) each with its own specific height and diameter.
In fact, one could store more bottles by stacking a single type of bottle and without shelves. But a "varied" cabinet is made
up of a large variety of bottles and the "practical" side of the daily use of a cabinet limits the number of bottles stored. Most
probably, a few less bottles will be stored than the indicated amount.
For example, if the cellar is filled only with bottles of burgundy, there will be approximately 30% fewer bottles than the initial
quantity calculated for Bordeaux
Any added shelf will decrease the loading capacity.

DEFROST - CONDENSATION
The cabinet is equipped with an automatic defrost cycle. When the cooling cycle is finished, the refrigerated parts of the
cabinet are defrosted automatically. The water from the defrost is channelled into an evaporation tray which is located in the
back of the cabinet close to the compressor. The heat from the compressor then evaporates the water from the tray.
UPKEEP
Before cleaning the cabinet (this must be done regularly), disconnect it either by unplugging it or by removing the fuse.
It is suggested that before first use and then regularly, the cabinet be cleaned both inside and out (front, sides and on top)
with a mixture of warm water and gentle cleaning fluid. Rinse with water and let dry completely before reconnecting. Do not
use solvents or abrasive products.
Clean the shelves with a gentle detergent then dry with a soft dry cloth.
At the moment of the first use, some odours can persist. In this case, make functioning the appliance at the coldest
temperatures, empty, during a few hours. The cold will cancel all these possible odours.
