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. Type of wine Recommended drinking temperature Light, fruity reds: +14 °C to +16 °C The wine conditioning unit with its constant ideal temperature, increased air humidity and odour free atmosphere offers the perfect conditions for storing your wine.
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 in the appliance 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.
Temperature and air quality The temperature being set will flash in the display. The following information shows in the display when the sensors are touched: – Touching a sensor once: The last set temperature flashes in the display. – Each subsequent touch of a sensor: adjusts the temperature shown in 1 °C steps. – Leaving a finger on the sensor: changes the temperature continuously. An audible tone sounds (if switched on) when the lowest or highest possible temperature is reached. Approx.
Temperature and air quality Air quality and humidity 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. Air entering the bottle will inevitably spoil the wine.
Temperature and air quality Switching off Dynamic cooling The appliance uses slightly more energy and is a little noisier when the dynamic cooling function is switched on. You can switch it off now and then if you wish. ^ Touch the Constant humidity (Dynamic cooling) sensor so that it is no longer lit up yellow. Air filtering with active charcoal filters The active charcoal filters achieve optimum air quality by filtering the incoming air.
Temperature and door alarm Your appliance is fitted with a warning system which ensures that the temperature in the three zones cannot rise or fall unnoticed and impair the wine. Switching the alarm off early If the noise disturbs you, you can switch the alarm off early if you wish. Temperature alarm If the temperature in one of the zones gets too warm or too cold, the sensor for the zone concerned and the alarm symbol ; will flash at the same time in the control panel. An audible alarm will also sound.
Temperature and door alarm Door alarm The alarm will sound if the door is left open for more than approx. 2 minutes. The three sensors for the wine zones will flash in the control panel. The ; symbol will appear in the display. The alarm will stop and the three sensors and the alarm symbol ; will go out after the door is shut. Switching the door alarm off early If the noise disturbs you, you can switch the alarm off early if you wish. ^ Touch the sensor for switching 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 that all three zones are lit up. Thanks to the use of LED lighting, the wine will not be adversely affected by warming or UV light.
Feature lighting The selected brightness is saved for all three zones. The temperature reappears in the display. When the appliance door is closed, the set brightness takes effect. When the appliance door is opened, the interior lighting returns to its normal level. By touching the sensor – Lighting duration is reduced by 30 minutes Lighting duration of the feature lighting The lighting duration for the feature lighting is set at 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 wine 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 Removing the wooden shelves Adjusting the wooden shelves The wooden shelves can be removed if required. The slats in the wooden shelves can be individually adjusted to suit different bottle sizes. so that every bottle is stored safely regardless of shape or size. ^ Pull the wooden shelf out until it stops, then lift it up and off the runners. Hold onto the frame to do this. If you require more room (e.g.
Storing wine bottles Annotating 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 magnetic strips or remove them from the wooden shelf to do so: The bottle presenter can be used to raise particular bottles so that they can be viewed when the door is shut. ^ 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 35 kg. Do not stack bottles on the wooden shelves. Up to 178 Bordeaux bottles (0.75 l ) can be stored in the appliance as illustrated above, with 46 in the upper zone, 46 the middle zone and 86 in the lower zone.
Sommelier set Covering the runners With the Sommelier set you can store your wine glasses and accessories, decant your wine and store open bottles in the appliance. Setting up the Sommelier set The glasses holder and the bottle rest with the accessory box can be used either in the middle or lower wine conditioning zone. It is important to use a shelf which pulls out fully (the second and third shelves in the middle and lower zones each pull out fully).
Sommelier set Bottle holder Accessory box You can store opened wine bottles in bottle holder c: The accessory box e can be used to store accessories such as the corkscrew, foil cutter and chalk. ^ Remove the necessary number of slats and place bottle holder c on the wooden shelf. ^ Position the dividers d in the bottle holder, so that the wine bottles are held securely and cannot rattle against each other. ^ Hang the accessory box e in the bottle holder and cover with lid f if required.
Sommelier set Decanting rack It is advisable to place wine on the decanting rack several days before opening it. Due to the incline of the decanting rack the bottom of the bottle sits lower than the neck, allowing the sediment to settle in the bottom of the bottle. With careful pouring the sediment remains in the bottle. The two wooden shelves and the attachable trim supplied with the Sommelier set are used to assemble a decanting rack: place at the back.
Sommelier set Additional bottle presenters Two additional bottle presenters are supplied with the Sommelier set (see "Storing wine bottles - Bottle presenter").
Automatic defrost Condensate and frost can build up on the back wall of the appliance whilst it is in use. These are automatically removed and defrosted by the appliance. The condensate is drained away via a channel and drain hole into an evaporation system at the back of the appliance.
