Artusi AWC18BV 18 Bottle Single Door Wine Cellar

• 18 bottle capacity: Holds 18 Bordeaux-size bottles in a 58L interior, arranged across five black wooden shelves.
• Single climate zone: One zone holds a consistent 6°C to 18°C, with a default setting of 12°C.
• Slimline 296mm width: Just 296mm wide, it suits narrow gaps in kitchens, bars and entertaining spaces.
• Five black wooden shelves: Black wooden shelves hold bottles securely and keep the interior looking considered.
• Anti-UV Low-E glass door: The black smoky anti-UV Low-E glass door protects wine from harmful light while helping hold stable conditions inside.
• Tri-colour interior lighting: Choose bright white, UV blue or amber orange cavity lighting, with two side LED strips to show off the collection.
• Four lighting modes: Select door-open only, constantly on, or a delayed auto-off of 30 minutes or one minute, with cavity brightness adjustable between 50%, 70% and 100%.
• Touch control display: A white LED display and touch control panel make it simple to read and set the temperature, in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.
• Compressor cooling, frost free: Compressor cooling with frost-free operation keeps the cellar at a consistent temperature without manual defrosting.
• Standard, ECO and Sabbath modes: The cellar runs in Standard mode by default, with ECO and DEMO modes selectable from the panel and a Sabbath mode that darkens the lights and display while the cellar holds its temperature.
• Temperature alarm and memory: A temperature alarm alerts you when the interior is too warm or too cold, and the memory setting retains your chosen temperature after a power cut.
• Humidity above 65%: Specified to hold humidity above 65%, in line with typical wine storage conditions.
• Lockable door: A door lock with key, set within the lower grille panel, secures the cellar and doubles as a child lock.
• Recessed finger-pull handle: A side recessed finger-pull handle keeps the door front flush and uncluttered.
• Levelling leg: An adjustable front levelling leg at the base lets you level the cellar on the floor.
• Built-in or freestanding: Designed for freestanding installation or fully recessed built-in installation.
• 25 kg shelf rating: The manual specifies a maximum load of 25 kg per shelf.
• Long-term parts availability: Handles, hinges, trays and baskets are available as spare parts for a minimum of seven years and door gaskets for a minimum of ten years after the last unit of the model is placed on the market. Thermostats, temperature sensors, printed circuit boards and light sources are available for a minimum of seven years.
• R600a refrigerant: R600a refrigerant, rated climate class T.

• Touch control display panel: Set and monitor the cellar temperature from a single touch control panel and white LED display, with a power button, mode button, light colour, light mode and brightness controls.
• Power button: Press and hold for 3 seconds to turn the cellar off, then press lightly to turn it back on. After a power cut or switching off, wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting or the cellar may not start.
• Single zone temperature control: One climate zone, adjustable from 6°C to 18°C. The default setting is 12°C.
• Temperature adjustment: The up and down buttons change the set temperature in one degree increments.
• Celsius / Fahrenheit: Press and hold the up and down buttons together for 3 seconds to switch the display between °C and °F.
• Running modes: The cellar starts in STD (Standard) mode. Each press of the mode button cycles through STD, ECO and DEMO.
• Sabbath mode: Press and hold the mode button for 3 seconds. The interior light and control display go dark and the cellar ignores user activity and external functions such as lighting, display and audible alarms, while still maintaining its internal temperature. Press and hold again for 3 seconds to return to STD.
• LED light colour: The LED light and button backlight default to bright (white). Each press cycles through bright (white), UV (blue) and amber (orange).
• LED light modes: L1 (default) lights the interior at 100% only while the door is open. L2 keeps the light on constantly, at 100% with the door open and 70% with it closed. L3 and L4 use the same brightness levels but switch the light off automatically after 30 minutes (L3) or one minute (L4).
• LED brightness: Each press of the brightness button cycles through 50%, 70% and 100%, and the cellar keeps the chosen level when the door is closed.
• Temperature memory: If power is suddenly lost, the previously set temperature is saved and the cellar returns to it when power is restored.
• Temperature alarm: If the interior is above 23°C, HI shows on the display and the alarm sounds continuously after one hour. If the interior is too cold, LO shows and the alarm sounds continuously after 15 minutes.
• Door lock: Insert the key and turn it counterclockwise to unlock the door. To lock, turn the key the other way, making sure the metal pin engages fully, then remove the key and store it safely. The keys are in the plastic bag with the instruction manual.
• Recommended wine temperatures: The manual suggests 12°C to 14°C for all wines, or: sparkling and NV Champagne 6°C; vintage Champagne 10°C; Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc 8°C; Riesling, Gewurztraminer and Chardonnay 10°C; Beaujolais 13°C; Pinot Noir and Grenache or Syrah 16°C; Cabernet and Merlot 20°C. Settings are limited to the temperature range of this model, so the 20°C suggestion is above its maximum.
• Frost free: Frost-free operation, so there is no defrosting routine.
• Humidity: >65% humidity.
• First start-up: Let the cellar stand upright for about 2 hours before connecting it to power. After first start-up, or after a long period switched off, the display can differ from the set temperature by a few degrees until the cellar has run for a few hours.

Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law.

The AWC18BV is the most compact model in Artusi's wine cellar range, at 296mm wide. For a wider cellar, the 60cm AWC36BV and AWC37BV hold 38 and 44 bottles, and the tall AWC154BV and AWCD160BV hold 125 and 160 bottles.

Bottle capacity is based on Bordeaux-size bottles, so cellars stocked with wider bottles will hold fewer. The door hinge can be reversed, and the cellar is supplied with a right-hand hinge.
