Filling the machine
• The device is ideal for storing wine bottles of the size and shape of 0.75 litres of
Bordeaux. It is possible to store larger wine bottles. However, care must be taken to
ensure that the appliance door can be closed properly.
• Before closing the door, always make sure that it is not blocked by a wine bottle.
• If you place several wine bottles in the appliance at the same time, it will take
longer for the individual wine bottles to cool down.
• The number of bottles that can be placed in the appliance varies depending on the
size and shape of the wine bottles.
• The maximum number of wine bottles that can be stored is based on standard 0.75
litre Bordeaux wine bottles.

• The most important thing when storing wine is that the storage temperature remains
continuously stable.
• Vibrations, temperature variations, light exposure and humidity are factors that
can cause wine to tip over. When stored correctly, not only is the quality of the
wine maintained, but its aroma, taste and complexity are also improved during the
maturing process.
• Wine that is stored at a higher temperature matures faster. Wines which are stored
at more than 18°C lose their flavour and aroma.
• If wine is stored at too low a temperature, this can lead to the development of
residues that are harmful to health. An air humidity of 60 % - 70 % is ideal to
prevent corks from shrinking.
• After a wine bottle has been opened, the wine comes into contact with air. It is
therefore recommended to store the rest of the wine upright in the bottle to minimise
the surface area that comes into contact with air.
• Once a wine bottle has been opened, white wines can be drunk for another 2 days
and red wines for another 3 days if the bottle has been closed. Make sure that the
wine bottle has been tightly closed again.
• Special stoppers, which keep wine and champagne fresh, can be purchased in
most wine shops.
• As long as white wine is stored correctly, it can be kept for up to 2 years. Full-
bodied red wines can be stored for up to 10 years and dessert wines for up to 20
years.
