The humidity level is too low
The temperature in the cellar is not
consistent
essential to calculate an average value over
several cycles and not from a single
reading.
There are two alternatives for reducing the
cellar's humidity:
-
- Replace the charcoal filters
- - Decrease the temperature slightly inside
the cellar
Humidity is regulated by the principle of
thermodynamics. During a cooling period, a
frost forms (cold air dries the air), humidity
will fall to 40%. During a heating period, the
frost melts and humidity may reach 75%.
Taking an average of these two values, we
obtain an average humidity of 55%. It is
essential to calculate an average value over
several cycles and not from a single
reading.
To increase the humidity in the cellar, there
are two alternatives:
- - Place a jar of water in the upper part of the
cellar
- - Raise the temperature slightly inside the
cellar
1 The actual temperature to take into account
is the temperature in the bottle. The
temporary variations which you observe
correspond to the compressor's operating
cycles.

It is through this principle of a series of small
variations in the air inside your wine cellar
that a suitable average temperature is
obtained, ensuring the best conditions for
maturing your wine.
3 If the temperature noted in your wine cellar
is different from that usually seen and it
does not change continuously (over several
hours and except when located in a non-
