Instructions for the Installer
4. INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
Always place the wine cellar in a dry place with satisfactory ventilation. Never expose it to direct sunlight or install it outdoors. Depending on its climate class (stated on the nameplate inside), the wine cellar can be used in different temperature conditions:
Class | Ambient temperature |
SN (Subnormal) | from + 10° C to + 32° C |
N (Normal) | from + 16° C to + 32° C |
ST (Subtropical) | from + 18° C to + 38° C |
T (Tropical) | from + 18° C to + 43° C |
|

Never place the wine cellar close to heat sources unless strictly necessary. If this is unavoidable, a suitable insulating panel must be used to allow the appliance to function properly. Otherwise, place the appliance at least 3 cm from electric or gas cookers and at least 30 cm from combustion or radiation heating systems.
To allow proper cooling of the condenser, the wine cellar must not be placed too close to the wall. Leave a gap of at least 5 cm between the back of the appliance and the wall. There must be an opening of at
least 200 cm2 behind the wine cellar. If the wine cellar is installed underneath a wall cupboard, the distance between the two must be at least 5 cm.
Take care not to scratch or damage the floor when installing the appliance on parquet or linoleum. The surface on which the appliance is to be placed must be level. Do not use a frame or similar.
The appliance can be installed as a freestanding unit against a wall, built into a kitchen element, or lined up with other appliances (see figures below).
