Wine Storage
The unit has a capacity of approximately 46 bottles. The manual provides loading proposals for Bordeaux, Burgundy, and Champagne bottles to maximize space. Always store wine in sealed bottles.
Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: Turn off and unplug the unit. Wash interior surfaces with a solution of 2 tablespoons of baking soda per quart of warm water. Wash shelves with mild detergent.
- Vacation: For short vacations (less than 3 weeks), leave the unit running. For long vacations, empty the unit, turn it off, clean it, and leave the door slightly ajar to prevent mold.

Troubleshooting
If the unit does not operate, check the power supply and circuit breaker. If it is not cold enough, check the temperature setting, ensure the door is closed properly, and verify the door gasket seal. Rattling or gurgling noises are often normal refrigerant flow sounds.
