Humidity - Miele KWT 1601 Vi Operating And Installation Manual

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
sediment to settle to the bottom of the
bottle.
Optimum temperature and air quality
Setting the humidity level
The unit comes factory pre-set to high
humidity.
If you would like to use the wine unit for
long-term storage, it is recommended
that you select the higher humidity. The
interior climate will then correspond
with the conditions in a wine cellar.
Humidity is raised or lowered for all
temperature zones simultaneously.
