Important information about temperature
Your wine cellar has been designed to guarantee optimum conditions for storing and/or
serving your wines. Fine wines require long and gentle developments and need specific
conditions in which to reach their full potential.
All wines mature at the same temperature, which is a constant temperature set between
12ºC to 14ºC. Only the temperature of "dégustation" (wine appreciation) varies
according to the type of wines (see "Wine Serv- ing Temperature Chart" above). This
being said and as it is for natural cellars used by wine producers for long period of
storage, it is not the exact temperature that is important, but its consistency. In other
words, as long as the temperature of your wine cellar is constant (between 12ºC to
14ºC) your wines will be stored in perfect conditions.
Not all wines will improve over the years. Some should be consumed at an early stage
(2 to 3 years) while others have tremendous ageing capability (50 and over). All
wines have a peak in maturity. Do check with your wine merchant to get the relevant
information.
Defrosting/condensation/ hygrometry/ ventilation
Your wine cellar is designed with "Auto-cycle" defrost system. During "Off-cycle" the
refrigerated surfaces of the wine cellar defrost automatically. Defrost water from the wine
cellar storage compartment drains automatically and part of it goes into a drainage
container, which is located at the back of the wine cellar next to the compressor. The
heat is transferred from the compressor and evaporates any condensation that has
collected in the pan. Part of the remaining water is collected within the wine cellar for
humidity purposes. This system enables the creation of the correct humidity level inside
your wine cellar required by the natural cork to maintain a long lasting seal.
Note: The water collected by condensation, is therefore recycled. Under extremely
dry environmen- tal conditions, you may have to add some water into the water
container provided with your wine cellar.
All units are equipped with a double glazed glass door that has a third internal acrylic
layer to minimize con- densation on the glass door.
Notes: During the refrigerating cycle, heat is given off and disperses through the
external surfaces of the wine cellar. Avoid touching the surfaces during those cycles.
