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 The two temperature zones are cooled alternately which means that, depending on the amount of wine being stored, it may take a few hours before the set temperatures are reached and the temperature displays have adjusted accordingly. If, after this time, the temperature is still too high or too low, you will need to adjust it again. Temperature range In both zones it is possible to set temperatures between 5 and 20 °C.
The optimum temperature and air quality Air quality and humidity DynaCool (constant humidity) 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 Switching off DynaCool The wine unit uses slightly more energy and is a little noisier when the DynaCool function is switched on. You can switch it off now and then if you wish. Touch the DynaCool function On/Off sensor to switch off the indicator light. Air filtration with the Active AirClean filters 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.

Thanks to the use of LED lighting, the wine will not be adversely affected by heat or UV light.
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.
