• When stored correctly, white wines can keep well for up to two years. Full bodied
reds will age well for ten years and dessert wines will age well for up to twenty
years.
• When you buy a bottle of wine, you should transfer it to a suitable storage location
immediately (if you are not going to store it in your wine cooler).
• Cheaper bottles of wine will not age as well as more expensive ones.
• To make the most of the bouquet and taste of your wine, never fill more than half
a glass at a time. It will also help if the shape of your wine glass is appropriate
for your wine. The size and shape of your wine glass's bowl will determine the
intensity and complexity of the bouquet. The stem should be long enough to allow
you to avoid hand contact with the bowl of the glass and should be tulip-shaped or
tapered at the top.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
• Do not clean the appliance by pouring water onto it or spraying water over it.
• The interior of the wine cooler should be cleaned periodically, using a solution of
bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water.
• Clean the accessories separately with soap and water. Do not clean them in a
dishwasher.
• Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps.
• After washing the appliance, wipe over the area that you have cleaned with a
damp cloth and then dry it thoroughly.
• When cleaning is complete, dry your hands and then reconnect the plug to your
mains supply.
Defrosting
• Defrosting occurs automatically inside of the wine cooler during operation. The
defrost water is collected by the evaporating tray and evaporates automatically.
• The evaporating tray and defrost water drain hole should be cleaned periodically.
This will prevent water from collecting in the bottom of the wine cooler, instead of
flowing down the defrost drainage channel and drain hole.
• You can also pour a small amount of water down the drain hole to clean inside of it.
• You should be careful to make sure that wine bottles do not touch the rear wall of
the appliance, as this can interrupt the automatic defrosting process and deflect
water into the base of your wine cooler.
