Storing Wine Bottles; Descriptive Labels; Maximum Capacity; Door Lock - Miele KWT 4974 SG ed Operating And Installation Instruction

Any vibration or movement of the bottle
can affect the wine by interrupting the
natural respiration process and so
impair the taste.
As far as possible, store bottles of the
same type of wine beside each other
on the same shelf. Removing a bottle of
one type will then leave the other types
undisturbed and will avoid the need to
move different bottles around.
Please make sure that the vents at
the top of each of the three
temperature zones are not covered
by bottles. This is important for the
correct functioning of the appliance.
Use these areas to store narrower
wine bottles.
Wooden shelves
Each wooden shelf has a load
bearing capacity of 50 kg and can
support a maximum of 4 layers of
bottles (each row taking 9 x 0.75 litre
bottles).
The wooden shelves are on runners
which can be pulled out to make it
easier to store and remove bottles.
The wooden shelves can be removed if
required.
^ Pull out the wooden shelf on its rails
until it stops, then lift it up and out.
^ To replace the shelf, click it into
place on the extended rails.
