Temperature Range; Temperature Display; Air Quality And Humidity - Miele KWT 6312 UGS Operating And Installation Instructions

Temperature range

The temperature can be set between 5
°C and 20 °C.

Temperature display

In normal operation the temperature
display shows the actual temperature in
the appliance.
If the temperature is not within the
range that the appliance is able to dis-
play, dashes will light up in the temper-
ature display.
Depending on the ambient temperature
and the temperature setting, it can take
the appliance a few hours to reach the
temperature required and for this tem-
perature to then be shown as a con-
stant temperature in the display.
The optimum temperature and air quality

Air quality and humidity

In most refrigerators the humidity is too
low for wine and therefore a refrigerator
is not suitable for wine storage. High
humidity levels are necessary when
storing wine to moisten corks from the
outside. When the humidity is too low
the corks dry out and the bottle is no
longer tightly sealed. For this reason
wine bottles should always be stored
horizontally to ensure that corks are
also kept moist from the inside. If air
gets into the bottle, this will have a neg-
ative impact on the wine!

Danger of damage from excess
amounts of moisture
An increase in humidity will lead to
condensation on the interior walls.
Condensate can cause damage such
as corrosion to the wine unit.
Do not introduce additional moisture
to air in the cabinet, e.g. by placing a
dish of water in the wine unit.
