Using the wine cellar

Bottle ageing compartment

The ageing compartment's main function is that of guaranteeing that your wines are preserved in optimal conditions.

The wine cellar's temperature was factory pre-set at 15° C, a temperature that is considered optimal for most wines.

Wine has a complex nature and it derives from a long and slow process. In order to best express its attributes, very specific conditions are necessary.

All wines are preserved at the same temperature, but, depending on their different characteristics, wines are served and tasted at very different temperatures (see the Table of ideal wine temperatures).

Therefore, just as for manufacturers' wine cellars, for your new appliance, the absolute temperature value is not important for preserving your wine. Rather, the constant temperature through time is important. Wine preservation is ideal at any temperature, as long as that temperature does not vary.

Manual temperature control

Should you need to adjust the temperature inside the wine cellar, follow the instructions below:

1.When you plug in your wine cellar, the display shows the temperature that has been set

2.Press the UP button (see Control Panel) for one second. The temperature will begin to blink.

3.Press the + or – buttons until you reach the desired temperature.

4.Wait 5 seconds for the temperature to stop blinking.

5.Wait until the wine cellar reaches its temperature before you place the wine bottles inside.

The inside light does not go on (or it goes off temporarily) when the inside temperature goes over 24° C. This allows you to reach the pre-set temperature more quickly.
