Storing Wine Bottles; Wooden Shelves - Miele KWT 6831 SG Operating And Installation Instructions

Storing wine bottles

Vibration and movement have a
negative effect on the maturing process
which can affect the taste of the wine.
To avoid disturbing other bottles when
removing a bottle of wine, store bottles
of the same type beside each other on
the same shelf. Do not stack bottles on
top of one another on the wooden
shelves.
Always place the bottles in a horizontal
position so that the corks can be kept
moist on the inside and air is prevented
from getting into the bottles.

Wooden shelves

The wooden shelves are on telescopic
runners which can be pulled out to
make it easier to store and remove
bottles.
There are two wooden shelves on
runners in the middle and lower zones
(the second and third shelf from the top
in each zone) which can be pulled right
out. The remaining wooden shelves can
be partially pulled out.
Please note that the wooden shelf
with the partial pull-out is shorter than
the shelf with the full pull-out,
therefore these are not
interchangeable.
