Optimum temperature and air quality

Humidity

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 (DynaCool)

￿

This setting allows the relative humidity inside the wine cooler and the temperature to be distributed evenly around the interior so all of the wine is stored under exactly the same optimal conditions.

Turning on

If you would like to use the unit for long-term wine storage, turn on the DynaCool function. This will create a continuous interior climate, equivalent to the conditions of a wine cellar.
