Carrier CVL185 - Manual (Page 5)

Hygrometry setting:
Before using the appliance, spread the lava stone over the defrosting drain (on the inside of
the appliance, below the evaporator at. the rear), then dampen the volcanic rock with pure
water.
How to fill the cabinet:
The maximum recommended filling capacity of 80, 130, 180 or 250 bottles is given as an
indication and is non-binding. It allows a rapid estimate (as with capacity ratings for
refrigerators) of the size of the wine cellar. The cabinets are tested with a standard bottle of
the "claret light" type (standardisation classifies each type of bottle according to its
geographical origin: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Provence region etc. and its type / shape:
traditional, heavy, light, flute glass etc., each one corresponding to a standard diameter and
height). In reality, one could probably store more bottles by pilling them up one on top of each
other leaving out the racks, but a "diversifed wine cellar" is made up of a wide variety of
bottles and the practical aspect of a day-to-day organisation of a cellar limits its storage
capacity. You will therefore probably store less bottles than the maximum quotas announced.
We suggest that you begin loading the appliance from the bottom upwards. Depth permitting,
(larger models) place a first row of 8 bottles at the back, then by lifting the bottom of these
bottles with a 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm lintel, place 7 bottles in staggered rows. (Do not hesitate to use
bits of wood to steady your precious bottles!) Simply continue stacking the bottles - 2 new
rows in the back, one in front. If there is insufficient depth (smaller models) we would suggest
an one-way stacking system with the bottom of the bottles facing the rear.
Next you can slide in the racks. They are resistant, plastic coated and adjustable In height.
We suggest that you place them at 22 cm intervals (to adapt depending on size of cellar and
different types of bottles it contains) without exceeding a maximum of 60 kg per rack. Failure
to observe these recommendations could result in breakage for which the manufacturer
declines ail responsibility.
