The optimum temperature and air quality Wine keeps on maturing depending on the surrounding conditions. The length of time for which wine can be kept in good condition will therefore depend not only on the temperature but also on the air quality.
The optimum temperature and air quality Safety device in case of low ambient temperatures The appliance is equipped with a safety thermostat to protect your wine against a sharp drop in temperature. If the external temperature should fall, a heater element switches on automatically to keep the temperature inside as constant as possible. If the ambient temperature continues to fall, the appliance switches itself off automatically.
The optimum temperature and air quality Temperature range Air quality and humidity The temperature can be set between 5 °C and 20 °C. In most refrigerators the humidity is too low for wine and therefore a refrigerator is not suitable for wine storage. High humidity levels are necessary when storing wine to moisten corks from the outside. When the humidity is too low the corks dry out and the bottle is no longer tightly sealed.
The optimum temperature and air quality Using DynaCool (constant humidity) DynaCool raises the relative humidity inside the whole of the wine conditioning unit. It also distributes the humidity and the temperature evenly around the interior so that you can store all your wine under the same excellent conditions. This will create a stable climate in the unit which imitates that of a wine cellar.
The optimum temperature and air quality Air filtration with the Active AirClean filter The Active AirClean filter achieves optimum air quality by filtering the incoming air. Fresh air from the room enters the appliance via the Active AirClean filter. The fans (DynaCool function) then distribute the air evenly throughout the cabinet. Filtering the incoming air through the Active AirClean filter ensures that all the air entering the appliance is fresh and free from dust and odours.
Temperature and door alarm This wine conditioning unit is equipped with an alarm system so that the temperature cannot rise or fall unnoticed, thus possibly damaging the wine. Switching the temperature alarm off early If the noise disturbs you, you can switch the alarm off if you wish. Temperature alarm If the temperature becomes too warm or too cold, the alarm symbol will flash in the display. An alarm will also sound.
Temperature and door alarm Door alarm An alarm will sound if the door has been left open for longer than 2 minutes. The alarm symbol will light up in the display. The alarm will stop and the alarm symbol will go out as soon as the door is closed. Switching the door alarm off early If the noise disturbs you, you can switch the alarm off if you wish. Touch the sensor for switching off the door alarm. The alarm sound will stop. The alarm symbol will continue to be lit up until the door is closed.
Feature lighting The interior lighting can be set to remain on when the door is closed so your wines can be on display at all times. Setting the brightness of the feature lighting The brightness of the feature lighting can be adjusted. Thanks to the use of LED lighting, the wine will not be adversely affected by heat or UV light. Switching the feature lighting on and off Touch the On/Off sensor for the feature lighting so that it is highlighted in yellow.
Feature lighting By touching the sensor Touch the OK sensor to confirm your choice. The set brightness is saved to memory. The temperature display then appears again. As soon as the appliance door is closed, the set brightness for the feature lighting takes effect. When the appliance door is opened, the interior lighting returns to its normal level. - lighting duration is reduced by 30 minutes - lighting duration is increased by 30 minutes.
Storing wine bottles Vibration and movement have a negative effect on the maturing process, which can in turn affect the taste of the wine. To avoid disturbing other bottles when removing a bottle of wine, store bottles of the same type beside each other on the same shelf. Avoid stacking bottles on top of one another on the wooden shelves. Always place the bottles in a horizontal position so that the natural corks can be kept moist on the inside and air is prevented from getting into the bottles.
Storing wine bottles Maximum stacking height for wine bottles in the cabinet Wine bottles stored in the wine unit must not exceed the following heights (bottles laid flat): Moving the wooden shelves The wooden shelves can be removed and replaced again if required. Max. height Bottles stored lengthways (standard) 310 mm Bottles stored 437 mm across the appliance (see “Storing wine bottles across the appliance”) Wooden shelves Pull the wooden shelf out until it stops .
