WINE COOLER
TMB056210MD
3. In the process of cooling a room, air-conditioners and refrigerator driers out the air. They are designed
to perform properly in the 12ºC-13ºC and 55% to 75% humidity range. Because of this, it is necessary to buy
refrigeration units designed specifically for wine cooler if you want to maintain the proper environment.
4. Moderate humidity is important so as to keep the corks in good resilient condition and there by preventing
them from shrinking. A relative humidity of 50%-80% is the acceptable range, but about 70% is recommended.
Excessive humidity will not harm the wine but will cause the corks to dry out, lose their elasticity and there by
allow air to get into the bottle.
5. Constant vibration form machinery or a nearby road disturbs red wine's sediment and can be harmful to all
wine. This is not commonly a problem in the average home as dangerous extremes are rare and obvious. It
should be remembered that excessive sound creates vibrations that may be harmful as well.
6. Wines should be stored in such a way that you don't have to move them around to get at a particular
bottle. Once a wine is laid down, it should stay there until it is opened.
7. The space should be free from smells and debris. Extraneous smells can enter through the cork and
contaminate the wine. Proper ventilation will help with this problem and keep the cellar from giving the wine
a musty taste. Finally debris that could be a home to insects that might infect the corks-untreated wood, food
should be removed. Never store fruits, vegetables, cheese or any food that is capable of fermenting.
8. Table wine is stored horizontally so that the wine stays in contact with the cork. This keeps the cork moist
there by preventing air from entering the wine. Fortified wines other than port, are stored standing. If bottles
are stored with the labels up, it will be easier to see the deposit of sediment that forms on the opposite side of
the bottle when it comes time to open it.
WARNING
1) WARNING – Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of
obstruction.
2) WARNING – Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other
than those recommended by the manufacturer.
