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 61°F (16°C)
The middle temperature zone is set for
optimal white-wine storage:
White temper 50°F (10°C)
The lower temperature zone is intended
for wine storage in general.
Wine storage 52°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.
