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.
Hygrometry
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.
7. 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.
