Enhanced safety
Since this range of appliances is intended for storing items of value, we have been careful to select quality
components and to design suitable manufacturing techniques to ensure optimum safety in operation.
Installing the handle
Your appliance has a stainless steel handle. To fit it, simply screw it onto the door with the screws supplied
as per the diagram below, having first removed the seal.
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.
Types of bottle:
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. You will note the storage differences depending on bottle
heights, diameters and alternating position method.
