Additional Details and Functions

The wine cooler uses a ventilated, fan assisted cooling system to provide forced distribution of cold air in the refrigerator compartment, helping to maintain an even internal temperature. The automatic defrost system operates at regular intervals, removing the need for manual defrosting.

Easy to use touch controls allow programming at the touch of a button, with an LED display to show selected functions, temperature value and temperature alarms. A control lock is provided to secure the chosen settings. Lighting can be forced ON for a maximum period, and the fan can also be forced ON when required.

The interior is equipped with wooden fixed and removable shelves, some on telescopic guide rails for easier access to bottles. LED interior lighting offers an energy efficient and long lasting way of illuminating the compartment, while the anti–UV glass door and activated charcoal air filter contribute to maintaining suitable storage conditions for wine.
