Optimum temperature and air quality Wine will continue to mature depending on the surrounding conditions. The length of time which wine can be kept in good condition will therefore depend not only on the temperature but also on the air quality. The wine storage unit provides a constant temperature, increased humidity and an odor-free environment, creating the best possible storage conditions for your wine. Temperature Wine can be stored at temperatures between 41°F and 64°F (5 - 18°C).
Optimum temperature and air quality Temperatures can be independently set in all three zones. The unit comes factory pre-set for white wine, red wine, and wine storage. The temperatures can be changed as desired. Once you have adjusted the temperature, check the temperature after a few hours. It will take this long for the appliance to reach the temperature. If, after this time, the temperature is still too high or too low, it should be adjusted again.
Optimum temperature and air quality Insulation panels for thermal separation The unit has two fixed insulation panels, to divide the interior into the three different temperature zones. This allows you to store three different types of wine, such as red wine, white wine and champagne. The correct serving temperature is crucial for the taste and therefore your enjoyment of the wine.
Optimum temperature and air quality Temperature unit (Fahrenheit/Celsius) The temperature can be displayed in degrees Fahrenheit (°F) or Celsius (°C). ^ Touch the access button "p" so it turns yellow. ^ While holding down the X button, press the access button "p" once. Keep holding the X button down until the following appears in the display (approx. 5 seconds). ^ Tap the X button until † appears in the display. ^ Touch the access button "p" to confirm.
Optimum temperature and air quality Humidity Setting the humidity level In a conventional refrigerator, the humidity levels are too low for storing wines. High humidity levels (60 - 70 %) are very important for the storage of wine, so that the corks remain moist. Under low humidity, the corks dry out from the outside and can no longer seal the bottles properly. This is why wine bottles should always be stored lying down, so that the wine can keep the corks moistened from within.
Optimum temperature and air quality ^ While holding down the X button, press the access button "p" once. Keep holding the X button down until the following appears in the display (approx. 5 seconds). ^ Tap the X button until 0 appears in the display. ^ Touch the access button "p" to confirm. ^ By touching the X button you can either increase or decrease the humidity inside the unit. o 0: lower humidity o 1: higher humidity o –: return to menu. ^ Touch the access button "p" to confirm the setting.
Storing wine Storage tips Wooden racks – Always unpack bottles – do not store wine in crates or boxes. – Always lay bottles on their side for storage. This keeps the corks moist from the inside, preventing air from entering. – Store similar wine varieties beside each other on the same shelf, to avoid restacking and the need to disturbed other bottles. – Before serving, rosé and red wine bottles should spend at least two hours upright and open, to reach optimal drinking temperature.
Storing wine Bottle display rack The display rack, allows you to display selected bottles so they can be seen even with the door closed. The display rack can only be attached to wooden racks with wide cross-ties. In the upper temperature zone, these are found in the lower position. In the lower temperature zones, they are found in both the upper and lower position. It is recommended that the wooden racks always be left in the pre-set positions. This makes optimal use of the interior space.
Storing wine Display lighting Duration of the display lighting The display lighting can be turned on if you wish the bottles to be lit up even when the door is closed. The display lighting is factory pre-set to 30 minutes. Turning on ^ To change this time setting, press and hold the "Display light" sensor button for 2 seconds. ^ Touch the access button "p" so it turns yellow. The set time (in minutes) appears in the display: ^ Touch the "Display light" sensor button so that it turns yellow.
