Temperature And Air Quality; Temperature; Safety Device In Case Of Low Ambient Temperatures - Miele KWT 6321 UG Operating And Installation Instructions

Wine keeps on maturing depending on
the surrounding conditions. The length
of time for which wine can be kept in
good condition will therefore depend
not only on the temperature but also on
the air quality.
The wine conditioning unit with its
constant ideal temperature, increased
air humidity and odour free atmosphere
offers the perfect conditions for storing
your wine.
It also guarantees a vibration-free
environment so that the maturing
process is not disturbed.

Temperature

Wine can be stored at a temperature
between 6 °C and 18 °C. If you are
storing white and red wines together,
select a temperature between 12 °C
and 14 °C. This is suitable for both red
and white wines.
At too high a temperature (over 22 °C),
wine matures too quickly, which
prevents the aromas from developing
further. Wine cannot mature fully at too
low a temperature (below 5 °C).
Fluctuations in temperature put wine
under stress and interrupt the maturing
process. It is therefore very important to
maintain a constant temperature.

Temperature and air quality

Safety device in case of low ambient
temperatures
To protect wine from low temperatures,
a safety thermostat ensures that the
temperature in the appliance cannot fall
dramatically. If the ambient temperature
drops, a heater in the appliance
switches on and holds the temperature
within the appliance constant. If the
ambient temperature continues to drop,
the appliance will automatically switch
itself off.

Tip: Store the wine 1 or 2 °C cooler
than the recommended drinking
temperature as it warms up a little when
poured into the glass.
Full-bodied reds should be opened 2-3
hours before drinking to allow them to
breathe and develop their aromas.
