Tips for use

• You can store up to 8 bottles in the wine cooler.
• The bottles may differ in size and parameters. The real number of bottles that can be stored in the wine cooler may vary. Each bottle position corresponds to approximately one traditional 750ml Bordeaux bottle.

Warning:
We recommend installing the wine cooler in a place where the ambient temperature is between 20 °C – 25 °C / 68 °F – 77 °F. If the ambient temperature is above or below the recommended temperatures, it may affect the performance of the wine cooler. For example, placing the wine cooler in an extremely cold or hot environment can cause internal
temperature fluctuations. It is thus possible that the temperature range (12 °C – 18 °C / 54 °F – 65 °F) will not be reached in such conditions.

When using the wine cooler for the first time or restarting the wine cooler after it has been switched off for a long time, it is possible that there may be several degrees of difference between the selected temperature and the temperature indicated on the LCD display.
