You should also avoid very low temperatures
which may lead to the formation of deposits and
damage the aesthetic qualities of the wine.
All the compartments offer optimal conditions
and take into account all these needs. It should
however be noted that the Cantina Compartment,
in particular, is thermostatically controlled in a
very precise manner and ensures the utmost
care and attention over time of your most prized
bottles. When the Cantina Compartment is set
below +50°F (+10°C) the Wine Cellar must not be
set beyond +54°F (+12°C).
