Optimum temperature and humidity
^Press the constant humidity button to save the setting.
^Press the On/Off button to come out of the setting mode. If you do not do this, the appliance will automatically switch over to normal operation after a few minutes.
Humidity level
In a conventional refrigerator, the humidity levels are too low for storing wines. High humidity levels (60 - 70 %) are very important for the storage of wine, so that the corks remain moist.
Under low humidity, the corks dry out from the outside and can no longer seal the bottles properly. This is why wine bottles should always be stored lying down, so that the wine can keep the corks moistened from within. If air enters the bottle, a wine will inevitably spoil.
Tip: Wine bottles should stand upright for at least two hours before serving, or, better still whole day long, to enable deposits to settle to the bottom of the bottle.
Constant humidity (Dynamic cooling) button m
This setting enables the relative humidity (and temperature) inside the wine cooler to be distributed evenly throughout the interior, so that you can store all your wine under exactly the same excellent conditions.
Turning on Dynamic Cooling
If you would like to use the wine cooler to store wine for the long term, the constant humidity setting should be activated. This will create a continuous climate inside the appliance, imitating that of a wine cellar.
^Press the constant humidity button m. The indicator light will come on.
Even if this setting has not been activated, the fan in the appliance will come on automatically when the cooling system switches on, to ensure your wine is kept in the optimum climate.
The fan automatically switches off when the door is open.
