Note: If you remove the bottle
shelves, instead of 18 standard
bottles, you can place a total of
21 standard bottles in the appliance.
10.2 Tips for storing wine
Note the following tips for storing
wine.
¡ Do not store the wine bottles in
crates or boxes in the appliance.
The open bottle shelves allow for
continuous air circulation. As a res-
ult, excess humidity is quickly re-
moved.
¡ Before you enjoy your wine, you
should slowly warm it to room tem-
perature. Take rosé out of the ap-
pliance two to five hours before
consuming, and take red wine out
of the appliance four to five hours
before consuming. Serve white
wine immediately after taking it out
of the appliance. Sparkling wine
and champagne should be chilled
in the refrigerator for a short while
before drinking.
¡ Always store wine a little cooler
than its ideal serving temperature,
as the wine warms up as soon as
it is poured into the glass.
10.3 Drinking temperatures
The correct serving temperature is
crucial for the taste of the wine.

11.1 Defrosting in the wine
storage compartment
When the appliance is operating,
condensation droplets or frost form
on the rear panel of the wine storage
compartment due to functional reas-
ons. The back panel in the wine stor-
age compartment defrosts automatic-
ally.
The condensation drains into the
drainage hole via the condensation
channel.
To ensure that the condensation can
drain and odours do not form, ob-
serve the following information:
→ "Cleaning the condensation chan-
nel and drainage hole", Page 15.
