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). If

you would like to store red and white

wines together, choose a temperature

between 50°F and 54°F (10 - 12 °C).

Most white wines are palatable at this

temperature. It is best to take red wine

out of the appliance about 2 hours

before drinking. Open the wine to allow

it to breathe and to develop its aroma.

After 2 hours, red wine will be at the

correct temperature for drinking.

Storage temperatures above 72°F

(22°C) will cause wines to mature too

quickly. By contrast, wine should not be

stored below 41°F (5°C), since it will not

mature fully at this low temperature.

Fluctuations in temperature put wine

under stress and interrupt the maturing

process. Therefore, it is important to

maintain a constant temperature.

Setting the temperature

The factory (default) settings for the

temperature zones are as follows:

The upper temperature zone is set for

optimal red-wine storage:

Red temper 62°F (17°C)

The middle temperature zone is set for

optimal white-wine storage:

White temper 46°F (8°C)

The lower temperature zone is intended

for wine storage in general.

Wine storage 51°F (11°C)

You can change the "purpose" of the

zones as you wish.

For example, you can store white wine

in the upper temperature zone, as long

as you adjust the temperature

accordingly:

^ Tap the sensor button for the desired

temperature zone, so that it turns

yellow.

^

Select the preferred temperature

setting so that the sensor button turns

yellow.

The setting "white temper" is not

available in the lower temperature

zone.
