Optimum temperature and air quality

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.
