I have just inherited a mint condition old wine refrigerator that seems to be working great. However I do not know how to control it. By reading your past comments I can already tell I need to replace the charcoal filter since it looks like it has not been replaced in a long time. Here is the information I found on a tag on the back of the machine: LaCave by LaMaison Edery, Inc Cave Avin Vieillitheque 200 No. 1000 Rustique It is built into a beautiful wood cabinet and has two manual thermostats located towards the bottom right of the interior of the unit. It cools down but I can't figure out the two thermostats. When "playing" with them they appear to almost work against each other. Any information you could provide or place you could point me to would be greatly appreciated. I look foward to future discussions with you as my wine skills develop Thanks in advance, Christian I am new to the wine world and all my reasearch keeps drawing me to EuroCave.

It is built into a beautiful wood cabinet and has two manual thermostats located towards the bottom right of the interior of the unit. It cools down but I can’t figure out the two thermostats. When “playing” with them they appear to almost work against each other.

Any information you could provide or place you could point me to would be greatly appreciated.

I look foward to future discussions with you as my wine skills develop

Thanks in advance,

I have over forty cases to move and would probably regrow my cellar to about 1000 bottles. What;s best sytem I could have for this capacity-and in a very wrm climate with possibility of storm caused power outages? (use a back-up generator? Can dry ice help for short period outages??

The bottle capacity in each unit can vary from 39-223, depending on the model. Of course you can always purchase multiple units to expand as well.

If so, how many in the super cave? I have not inquired about the supercave in the past. Do the eurocaves hold bordeaux bottles ? If so, how many in the super cave?
