refrigerated surfaces are defrosted automatically. The defrost water is channeled into a condensates
evaporation tray which is located in the back of the appliance near the compressor. The heat produced
by the compressor then evaporates the condensates collected in the tray.
Hygrometry
Hygrometry of our wine cellars is regulated by itself by the principle of hygrodynamics. During cooling
process, there is a formation of frost (the cold dries the air), humidity can drop to 50%. During warming
period, frost melts and the rate can rise above 75%. By averaging the 2 values, we obtain a humidity
level suitable for wine storage. It is imperative to reason in average value over several cycles and not
from a one-off statement.
In case you want to increase the moisture level in your wine cellar, you can put a bowl of water at the
bottom of your unit, making sure it is stable and cannot spill.
7. LOADING
The maximum recommended loading quantities for bottles are given as guidelines and are indicative
only; they provide a quick estimate of the size of the appliance (similar to the capacity of a refrigerator
expressed in liters).
They correspond to tests conducted with a standard bottle: the standard "75 cl light Bordeaux" bottle -
standards apply the geographical origin of each bottle shape (Bordeaux, Burgundy, Provence, etc.) and
a type (traditional, heavy, light, flute, etc.), each with its own diameter and height.
In reality and in extreme cases, you could store more bottles by stacking the same type of bottle without
using shelves, but a varied cellar comprises a wide variety of bottles and the practical aspect of everyday
cellar management limits its capacity. You will therefore probably load the appliance a little less than the
recommended maximum.
Types of bottle:
We see here 4 kinds of 75 cl wine bottles: Burgundy and Bordeaux wine bottles of different dimensions.
There are many others of all shapes and sizes.
For example, if a wine cellar is loaded only with Burgundy wine bottles, there will be approximately 30%
fewer bottles than the initial quantity calculated for Bordeaux bottles.
Announced capacity
The announced capacity is the maximum capacity calculated with a defined number of shelves, which
varies according to the model. This standard is calculated with 75cl bottles of the traditional Bordeaux
type. Any other type of bottle size and the addition of shelves will considerably reduce the storage
capacity.
