Important information about temperature
Your wine cellar has been designed to guarantee optimum conditions for storing and/or serving your wines.
Fine wines require long and gentle developments and need specific conditions in which to reach their full
potential.
All wines mature at the same temperature, which is a constant temperature set between 12ºC to 14ºC. Only
the temperature of "dégustation" (wine appreciation) varies according to the type of wines (see "Wine Serv-
ing Temperature Chart" above). This being said and as it is for natural cellars used by wine producers for long
period of storage, it is not the exact temperature that is important, but its consistency. In other words, as long
as the temperature of your wine cellar is constant (between 12ºC to 14ºC) your wines will be stored in perfect
conditions.
Not all wines will improve over the years. Some should be consumed at an early stage (2 to 3 years) while
others have tremendous ageing capability (50 and over). All wines have a peak in maturity. Do check with
your wine merchant to get the relevant information.
Defrosting/condensation/ hygrometry/ ventilation
Your wine cellar is designed with "Auto-cycle" defrost system. During "Off-cycle" the refrigerated surfaces
of the wine cellar defrost automatically. Defrost water from the wine cellar storage compartment drains
automatically and part of it goes into a drainage container, which is located at the back of the wine cellar next
to the compressor. The heat is transferred from the compressor and evaporates any condensation that has
collected in the pan. Part of the remaining water is collected within the wine cellar for humidity purposes.
This system enables the creation of the correct humidity level inside your wine cellar required by the natural
cork to maintain a long lasting seal.
Notes: The water collected by condensation, is therefore recycled. Under extremely dry environmen-
tal conditions, you may have to add some water into the water container provided with your wine
cellar.
All units are equipped with a double glazed glass door that has a third internal acrylic layer to minimize con-
densation on the glass door.
Notes: During the refrigerating cycle, heat is given off and disperses through the external surfaces of
the wine cellar. Avoid touching the surfaces during those cycles.
Adjustable wooden shelves
Adjusting and removing the shelves
For easy access to the storage content, you must pull the shelves approximately 1/3 of its depth out
of the rail compartment. These wine cabinets, however, are designed with a notch on each side of
