10.CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Before carrying out any operations, disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply.
10.1 Defrosting the wine cellar
The wine cellar has automatic defrosting. During normal operation of the appliance, frost forms on its
rear wall when the compressor is working and melts when it is not in operation. When the compressor is
not working, the frost which has built up on the back wall melts and the water flows into the opening
provided in the bottom of the body of the refrigerator. From here, it flows into the tray on the compressor,
where it evaporates.
Warning: the amount of ice which forms on the rear wall may vary with changes in weather conditions
(temperature and humidity), the frequency with which the door is opened, the appliance's operating
temperatures and the number of bottles stored inside.
The formation of condensation on the inside surfaces of the wine cellar during normal use is
quite normal and does not indicate a malfunction.
10.2 Cleaning the wine cellar
Before cleaning, disconnect the plug from the electrical mains. Clean the outside using only water and a
gentle liquid detergent or an ordinary detergent for washable surfaces (such as a window-cleaning
product). Never use products containing abrasives or substances which may attack the lacquered or
painted parts, acids or chemical solvents. Use a sponge or a soft cloth.
Do not use steam cleaners to clean the inside; the procedures and products recommended for the
outside should be used.
Never wash removable wooden parts in the dishwasher; use only warm water and washing-up liquid or
water and vinegar. Take care not to wet the electrical lighting components with water or detergents.
Clean the gaskets with warm water and then dry.
Take care not to block the defrosting water drainage hole with cleaning residues (foam or soap). Keep it
unobstructed and clean it periodically with a toothpick.
To allow the appliance to operate at full efficiency, periodically also clean the outside of its rear with a
cloth, to prevent excessive dust and dirt from collecting and interfering with its operation.
10.3 Switching off the wine cellar
If the wine cellar is to be out of use for some time, press the button on the control panel. Then empty
the cellar, disconnect it from the electrical mains, and once it has defrosted dry any residual moisture
which has collected. Leave the door ajar to prevent the humidity and trapped air from creating
unpleasant smells.
The appliance should not be left unattended for more than 3-4 days. If you are to be away for some time,
it is best to switch the wine cellar off.
10.4 Operating noises
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. Other normal wine cellar operating
noises are a gurgling and a rustling due to the refrigerant flowing through the pipes in the circuit. These
noises are perfectly normal and do not mean that the appliance is malfunctioning. If they are over-loud,
there may be other causes. In this case, check that:
- The wine cellar is properly levelled on the floor and does not vibrate when the compressor is in
operation: adjust the feet provided as appropriate;
- the shelves are correctly fitted and securely in place: fit correctly;
- the bottles on the various shelves are stable and not touching: the vibration due to operation of
the compressor may generate some noise;
- do not place kitchen units or other appliances so that they are touching the wine cellar
