Temperature and air quality Wine continues to mature 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 wine storage unit with its constant ideal temperature, increased air humidity and odor free atmosphere offers the perfect conditions for storing your wine. It also guarantees a vibration-free environment so that the maturing process is not disturbed.
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 drop below this level, a heater element turns on automatically to keep the temperature inside as constant as possible. If the ambient temperature continues to fall, the appliance switches itself off automatically.
Temperature and air quality The temperature being set will flash in the display. Possible setting values for the temperature The following information shows in the display when the buttons are tapped: In all three zones, it is possible to set temperatures between 41°F and 68°F (5°C and 20°C). – When first touched: The last temperature selected flashes. – Each subsequent touch of the button: The temperature value adjusts in 1° steps. – Leaving a finger on the sensor: changes the temperature continuously.
Temperature and air quality Air quality and humidity DynaCool (constant humidity) m A conventional refrigerator with its low humidity level is not the best place to store wine. It is very important to store wine in an atmosphere with a high humidity level so that the corks remain moist on the outside. Low humidity causes corks to dry out from the outside, and so do not seal the bottles as tightly. Wine should be stored lying down to keep the corks moist from the inside too.
Temperature and air quality Turning off DynaCool The appliance uses slightly more energy and is a little noisier when the DynaCool function is turned on. You can turn it off occasionally if you wish. ^ Tap the button for constant humidity until it no longer lights up yellow. Air filtering with the active charcoal filter The activated charcoal filter ensures optimal air replacement and thus air quality. Fresh air from the outside enters the appliance via the active charcoal filter.
Temperature and door alarm The appliance is equipped with an alarm system so that the temperature in the three temperature zones cannot rise or fall unnoticed, thus possibly damaging the wine. Turning off the audio alarm If the audio alarm bothers you, it can be silenced. Temperature alarm If the temperature in one of the wine storage zones rises or falls by a certain amount, the sensor for that zone will start flashing in the control panel and the alarm symbol ; will start to flash in the display.
Temperature and door alarm Door alarm An alarm will sound if the door has been left open for longer than 2 minutes. The three sensor buttons of the wine storage zones flash on the control panel. The alarm symbol ; lights up in the display. The alarm will stop when you close the door. The three wine storage zone sensors and the alarm symbol ; will go out. Turning the door alarm off early If the audio alarm bothers you, it can be silenced. ^ Tap the sensor button to turn off the door alarm.
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. Each zone has its own light so all three zones are lit up. Thanks to the use of LED lighting, the wine will not be adversely affected by heat or UV light.
Feature lighting The selected brightness is saved for all three wine storage zones. The temperature reappears in the display. 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. By tapping the button: – lighting duration is reduced by 30 minutes Lighting duration of the feature lighting The lighting duration for the feature lighting is set to 30 minutes at the factory.
Storing wine bottles Vibration and movement have a negative effect on the maturing process which can affect the taste of the wine. Wooden shelves 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 corks can be kept moist on the inside and air is prevented from getting into the bottles.
Storing wine bottles Moving the wooden shelves Adjusting the wooden shelves The wooden shelves can be removed and replaced again if required. The slats in the wooden shelves can be individually adjusted to suit, so that every bottle is stored in perfect safety regardless of shape or size. ^ Pull the wooden shelf forward to the limit stop and lift it up and off the runners. To do so, grab it on the frame.
Storing wine bottles Labeling wooden shelves Bottle presenter For quick and easy identification of the wines in storage, you can use the chalk supplied to annotate the magnetic strips on the wooden shelves. You can write directly on the strips or remove them from the wooden shelf to do so: With the display rack, you can give prominence to selected bottles so that they can be seen even with the door closed. ^ Hold the magnetic strip by the sides and pull it forwards.
Storing wine bottles Maximum capacity Each wooden shelf has a maximum load-bearing capacity of 77 lbs (35 kg). Do not stack bottles on the wooden shelves. A total of 178 Bordeaux bottles (0.75 l) can be stored in the appliance, with 46 in the upper zone, 46 in the middle zone, and 86 in the lower zone. The number 178 bottles can be achieved only using all wooden shelves.
Sommelier set Covering the runners The sommelier set can be used to have your wine ready for drinking. You can store wine glasses and accessories in the appliance, decant your wine, and store open bottles in the appliance. ^ Place the four covers supplied a over the runners which are now visible with the thicker side of the cover pointing forwards. Glass holder This can be used for storing and chilling wine glasses.
Sommelier set Bottle holder Accessory box You can store opened wine bottles in the bottle holder c: You can place accessories like a corkscrew, sommelier knife, or chalk on, in, and under the accessory box e. ^ Remove the necessary number of slats on the wooden shelf and place bottle holder c on it. ^ Position the dividers d in the bottle holder to suit the size of bottles being held. They should be held securely and not rattle against each other.
Sommelier set Decanting shelves Before you open a bottle of wine, we recommend that you let it lie on the decanting shelf for a few days. Due to the incline of the decanting shelf, the bottom of the bottle lies deeper than the neck of the bottle which means that turbidity settles on the bottom of the bottle. When the wine is poured carefully, the turbidity remains in the bottle.
Sommelier set Additional bottle presenter For the proper presentation of your wines, you will receive two additional bottle presenters together with the sommelier set (see "Storing wine bottles – Bottle presenter").
