^ Turn the appliance off at the main switch. ^ Unplug the appliance. ^ Clean the interior. ^ Leave the doors open to prevent odors. Optimum temperature and humidity Wine will continue to mature depending on the surrounding conditions. The length of time which wine can be kept in good condition will therefore depend not only on the temperature but also on the air quality. Temperature Wine can be stored at a temperature between 5°C and 18°C (41°F -64°F). The optimum temperature is approx. 10-12°C (50°F -54°F). Most white wines are palatable at this temperature. It is best to take red wine out of the appliance about two hours before drinking. Open the wine to allow it to breathe so the aroma can develop. After two hours, red wine will be at the correct temperature for drinking. If wine is stored at a temperature above 22°C (72°F) it will mature too quickly. By contrast, wine should not be stored below 5°C (41°F) for a long period of time, as it will not mature fully at this low temperature. Fluctuations in temperature put wine under stress and interrupt the maturing process. Therefore, it is very important to maintain a constant temperature. Safety features A thermostat in the wine cooler prevents the temperature from falling too low. Internal heating automatically switches on as needed, to keep the temperature inside as constant as possible. Isolation shelf for thermal separation The appliance has a fixed isolation shelf, which divides the cabinet into two zones. The temperature for each zone can be set separately, so that different wines (red and white) can be stored at their ideal temperature. Setting the temperature The temperatures are set using the two buttons under the temperature displays. Press the + button: to set the temperature warmer -button: to set the temperature colder The temperature being set will flash in the display. When pressing the buttons, the following information appears in the display: – When first pressed, the last temperature selected flashes. – Each subsequent press of the button adjusts the temperature shown in 1 °C increments. – Holding the button adjusts the temperature continually. Optimum temperature and humidity Approx. 5 seconds after releasing the button, the current temperature inside the applicable zone will be automatically shown. The two temperature zones are cooled alternately, which means that (depending on the quantity of wine being stored) it can take several hours for the required temperature to be reached, and for the temperature display to adjust. If, after this time, the temperature is still too high or too low, you will need to adjust it again. Temperature range The temperature can be adjusted from 5°C to 18°C (41°F -64°F). Temperature display During normal operation, the temperature displays on the control panel show the temperatures inside the appliance. The temperature display will flash if – a different temperature is being set, – the temperature in one of the zones deviates by more than 5 °C from the set temperature. Temperature display brightness The appliance is supplied with the brightness of the temperature display set as low as possible. You can adjust the brightness of the temperature display as follows (both temperature displays will be adjusted together): ^ Press and hold in the constant humidity button for approx. 5 seconds. The constant humidity indicator light will flash, and a ; will flash in the right-hand temperature display. ^ Repeatedly press one of the left-hand temperature selector buttons for the upper zone until: ^ appears in the display. ^ Press the constant humidity button again. ^ lights up in the display. ^ You can now adjust the brightness level by pressing the temperature selector buttons for the upper zone. You can choose from settings 1 to 5: 1: lowest setting, 5: brightest setting. Optimum temperature and humidity ^ Press the constant humidity button to save the setting. ^ Press the On/Off button to come out of the setting mode. If you do not do this, the appliance will automatically switch over to normal operation after a few minutes. Humidity level In a conventional refrigerator, the humidity levels are too low for storing wines. High humidity levels (60 -70 %) are very important for the storage of wine, so that the corks remain moist. Under low humidity, the corks dry out from the outside and can no longer seal the bottles properly. This is why wine bottles should always be stored lying down, so that the wine can keep the corks moistened from within. If air enters the bottle, a wine will inevitably spoil. Tip: Wine bottles should stand upright for at least two hours before serving, or, better still whole day long, to enable deposits to settle to the bottom of the bottle. Constant humidity (Dynamic cooling) button m This setting enables the relative humidity (and temperature) inside the wine cooler to be distributed evenly throughout the interior, so that you can store all your wine under exactly the same excellent condition...
