4. Temperature Setting
Your wine cooler is factory set to provide your investment with an optimum environment for storage and
longevity.
Control Settting:
Temperature Range: MAX: Entre 2ºC-8ºC
NORMAL: Entre 8ºC-15ºC
MIN: Entre 15ºC-21ºC
Your wine cooler should be plugged in and allowed to run for 24 hours before making any temperature
adjustments.
Wine stored in your wine cooler will be at temperature after 10 hours of storage.
Note: Wine is alive. As such it reacts either positively or negatively to its environment. How it is treated will
determine how fat or slow it will age and how it will turn out in the end. Essentially. Wine needs to be kept in
a clean, dark place with good ventilation, where it can be stored vibration free at a constant temperature.
Temperature is the most important factor and the factor that should be sought after above all others. The
optimum temperature is 10ºC-12ºC.However, any constant temperature of within 5ºC-18ºC will do. More
important than the actual temperature you will be able to achieve, is the degree and rapidity of temperature
fluctuation the wine is subjected to. A slow change of temperature of ten or so degrees between winter and
summer is not a problem. But this kind of fluctuation on a daily or weekly basis will cause damage to your wines
and age them prematurely. You will notice damage of this nature from the sticky deposit that often forms
around the capsule. In time, as the wine expands and contracts, it will damage the integrity of the cork. When
this happens, minute quantities of wine may make its way alongside the cork possibly even allowing oxygen
to seep back in.
Wines kept at too high a temperature will age faster than wines kept at cold temperature. Theoretically, wines
kept at 15ºC will age twice as fast as those kept at 12ºC. At 12ºC wines will age so slowly-with ultimately greater
complexity-that you will never have to worry about them.This is not to say the colder the better. Wine that is
stored too cold can develop deposits or other suspensions in the wine. Finally, keep in mind that white wines
are affected far more by temperature problems than red wines.
