Profi Cook PC-WK 1232 Instruction Manual page 36

Basically, the temperature changes depending on the
ambient temperature (place of installation), the fre-
quency of opening the door and the equipment.
Storage
The appliance is exclusively suitable for cooling and
storing drinks.
Model dependent:
Several storage levels for inserting
the grid shelves, allows individual storage. Depend-
ing on requirements, the shelves can be (partially
and depending on model) adjusted in height or re-
moved to optimize the storage space.
Store the bottles horizontally with the opening facing
forward.
NOTE:
For the most efficient use of energy, place all shelves
in their original position.
Capacity
The number of bottles that can be placed in the ap-
pliance varies depending on the size and shape of
the bottles.
General storage recommendations for wine
Type of wine
Red wine
White wine
Sparkling wine /
champagne
The maximum number of
bottles that can be stored is
based on standard 0.75 liter
bottles:
max. 8 bottles x 0.75 liter.
Temp. °C Temp. °F
15 – 18°C 58 – 65°F
9 – 14°C 48 – 57°F
4 – 8°C 39 – 47°F
 The most important thing when storing wine is
that the storage temperature remains continuous-
ly stable.
 Vibrations, temperature variations, light exposure
and humidity are factors that can cause wine to
tip over.
 Wine that is stored at a higher temperature ma-
tures faster. Wines which are stored at more than
18°C lose their flavor and aroma.
 If wine is stored at too low a temperature, this can
lead to the development of residues that are
harmful to health. An air humidity of 60% - 70% is
ideal to prevent corks from shrinking.
 After a wine bottle has been opened, the wine
comes into contact with air. It is therefore recom-
mended to store the rest of the wine upright in the
bottle to minimize the surface area that comes in-
to contact with air.
 Once a wine bottle has been opened, white wines
can be drunk for another 2 days and red wines for
another 3 days if the bottle has been closed.
 Special stoppers, which keep wine and cham-
pagne fresh, can be purchased in most wine
shops.
 If white wine is stored correctly, it can be kept for
up to 2 years. Full-bodied red wines can be stored
for up to 10 years and dessert wines for up to
20 years.
