Setting The Temperature; Humidity - Miele KWT 2671 ViS Operating And Installation Instructions

The ideal temperature and humidity

Setting the temperature

 Touch the  sensor control to set the
temperature.
The previously set temperatures for the
3 wine conditioning zones are dis-
played.
 Use the  and  sensor controls to
select the wine conditioning zone for
which you want to adjust the temper-
ature and select OK to confirm your
selection.
 Use the  and  sensor controls to
set the temperature. Keeping your fin-
gers on the sensor controls changes
the temperature continuously.
 Confirm the temperature setting
with OK or wait approx. 8 seconds
after the last touch of the sensor con-
trol. The temperature will then be
automatically adopted.
Tip: The newly set temperature can also
be confirmed and adopted by closing
the appliance door.
The temperature display always shows
the required temperature.
If you have adjusted the temperature,
wait for approx. 6 hours if the wine
conditioning unit is not very full and
for approx. 24 hours if the wine con-
ditioning unit is full before checking
the temperature display. It will take this
long for the appliance to give an accur-
ate reading.
 If, after this time, the temperature is
still too high or too low, you will need
to adjust it again.

Temperature range
In all three wine conditioning zones, it is
possible to set temperatures between
5 °C and 20 °C.

Humidity

In most refrigerators, the humidity is too
low for wine and therefore a refrigerator
is not suitable for wine storage. Higher
humidity levels are necessary when
storing wine to moisturise natural corks
from the outside. When the humidity is
too low, the natural corks dry out and
the bottle is no longer tightly sealed. For
this reason, wine bottles should always
be stored horizontally to ensure that
natural corks are also moisturised from
the inside. If air gets into the bottle, this
will have a negative impact on the wine.
Tip: Humidity levels can be set separ-
ately for each wine conditioning zone.
Always increase the humidity level in a
wine conditioning zone whenever you
are using it to store wine bottles sealed
with natural corks.

Danger of damage from excess
amounts of moisture.
An increase in humidity will lead to
condensation on the interior cabinet
walls. Condensate can cause dam-
age such as corrosion to the wine
conditioning unit.
Do not introduce additional moisture
to air in the cabinet, e.g. by placing a
dish of water in the wine conditioning
unit.
