USING YOUR WINE COOLER
A. LOADING YOUR WINE COOLER
•
You can load your wine bottles in single or double rows.
•
For loading, take note of the following: if you don't have enough bottles to completely
fill your wine cooler, it's best to spread the load over the entire height of the wine
cooler to avoid a thermal imbalance at the top or bottom of the wine cooler.
•
The balanced distribution of bottles throughout the height of the wine cooler is the
most efficient way to use the energy of the appliance.
•
The bottle capacity is expressed in bottles of the "Bordeaux" type. If larger bottles are
stored, or if additional shelves are used, the maximum bottle capacity is reduced.
•
To accommodate the largest type of bottle or increase the capacity of the cellar by
stacking the bottles when necessary, the shelves must be removed or moved (see
paragraph adjustable shelves).
•
Keep
a gap between the bottom of the wine cooler and the bottles to allow air to flow.
As in an underground wine cooler, air circulation is important for a homogeneous
temperature inside your wine cooler.
•
This will also reduce energy consumption.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE SERVING TEMPERATURE OF WINE
Your wine cooler has been designed to allow you to set desired serving temperature of your
wine. Each wine varietal is served at a different ideal temperature.
The temperature of the cellar is adjustable from 5-20 ˚C. Unless the wine producer says
recommends a different temperature for your wine, champagne should be served at 7˚C,
white wine should be served at 12˚C and red wine should be served at 18˚C (see "Wine
Service Temperature" recommendation table).
Some wines can be served young (2 to 3 years), while others are much better aged (10
years and older). Each wine peaks at a different age. Check the ideal drinking age for your
wine with your wine merchant.
