The ideal temperature and humidity
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 an accurate reading to be
given.
If, after this time, the temperature is
still too high or too low, adjust it
again.
Temperature range
In all three zones, it is possible to set
temperatures between 41°F and 68°F
(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 conditioning.
Higher humidity levels are necessary
when storing wine to moisturize natural
corks from the outside. When the hu-
midity 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 mois-
turized from the inside. If air gets into
the bottle, this will have a negative im-
pact on the wine!
Tip: Humidity levels can be set sepa-
rately 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.

Risk of damage caused by ex-
cess moisture
This will lead to condensation on the
interior walls, which can cause corro-
sion damage.
Do not introduce additional moisture
into the air, e.g., by placing a dish of
water inside the wine conditioning
unit.
Increasing the humidity
If you have set a higher level of humid-
ity, the fans will switch on automati-
cally. This will distribute the humidity
and the temperature evenly around the
wine conditioning unit so that you can
store all your wine under the same ex-
cellent conditions. The fans switch off
automatically when the appliance door
is opened and remain switched off for
as long as it is kept open.
Touch the sensor control to set the
temperature.
Use the and sensor controls to
select the wine conditioning zone for
which you want to increase the hu-
midity and select OK to confirm your
selection.
Touch the button.
The button will then be highlighted in
color.
Confirm your selection with OK or
wait approx. 8 seconds after touching
the button for the last time. The set-
ting will be automatically adopted.
The humidity increases in the selected
wine conditioning zone.
