Storing Wine; Wooden Racks - Miele KWT 1601 SF Operating And Installation Manual

Storage tips
– Always unpack bottles – do not store
wine in crates or boxes.
– Always lay bottles on their side for
storage. This keeps the corks moist
from the inside, preventing air from
entering.
– Store similar wine varieties beside
each other on the same shelf, to
avoid restacking and the need to
disturbed other bottles.
– Before serving, rosé and red wine
bottles should spend at least two
hours upright and open, to reach
optimal drinking temperature.
Sparkling wine and champagnes
should be chilled briefly in the
refrigerator before serving.
– Remember that wine should always
be cooled to slightly lower than the
ideal serving temperature, as the
temperature increases by 1° to 2° as
soon as it is poured into a glass.

Wooden racks

For convenient removal and addition of
bottles, the wooden racks can be
pulled out on rails.
The wooden racks can also be
completely removed.
^ Pull out the empty wooden rack
(along with the rails) as far as the
stop, then lift it up and out.
^ To replace the racks, set them on the
extended rails so that they click into
place.
Be sure that the ventilation slits at
the rear of the unit are not blocked.
They are essential for the unit to
operate properly.
