CLEANING

C O N D E N S E R C L E A N I N G

Clean the condenser area every three to six months. The cleaning schedule will depend on the amount of dust and lint that accumulates in this area.

To access the condenser on your specific Wine Storage model, see Condenser Location. Use a soft bristle brush and vacuum hose to remove dust and lint from the condenser area. NOTE:

To avoid bending the condenser fins, be sure to vacuum in the direction of the fins (up and down).

Before cleaning the condenser, shut the electricity off at the control panel. When you clean the condenser, wear gloves to avoid injury from the sharp condenser fins.

Failure to clean the condenser could result in temperature loss or mechanical failure or damage.

WINE STORAGE specifications

Sub-Zero wine storage units have become synonymous with excellence in preserving and showcasing fine wines. Their commitment to quality is evident in the design and technology of their wine storage solutions, making them a preferred choice for both amateur wine enthusiasts and connoisseurs alike. One of the main features of Sub-Zero wine storage is its precise temperature control. Wines are best preserved at specific temperatures, and Sub-Zero units maintain a consistent environment, typically between 45 and 65 degrees Fahrenheit. This precision prevents the wine from aging too quickly or developing undesirable flavors.

Another standout characteristic is the humidity control system. These units maintain an optimal humidity level of around 50-70%, crucial for keeping corks moist. This prevents corks from drying out, which can lead to oxidation and spoil the wine. The insulation in Sub-Zero wine cabinets is also superior, with dual-pane glass doors that prevent UV light from affecting the wine while providing an elegant display space.

The vibration-free design is another key technical advancement. Wine is sensitive to movement, which can disturb sediment and disrupt the aging process. Sub-Zero employs a specialized compressor system designed to minimize vibrations, ensuring that wines mature gracefully over time.

Sub-Zero wine storage units also feature customizable shelving options made from solid beechwood, designed to cradle bottles securely while allowing for easy access. Many models are equipped with adjustable wine racks to accommodate various bottle sizes, from standard Bordeaux to larger formats like magnums.

In addition, a sophisticated active cooling system allows for consistent temperatures without the use of compressors that generate excessive heat. This technology combines efficiency with a passive cooling system to provide gentle, even cooling.

Finally, Sub-Zero wine storage solutions are designed with aesthetics in mind. The sleek, modern look of these units fits seamlessly into any home decor while enhancing the beauty of the displayed bottles. With a combination of high-performance technology and luxurious design, Sub-Zero wine storage units provide an unparalleled environment for storing precious bottles, ensuring that wine enthusiasts can enjoy their collections in optimal condition for years to come.
