The appliance is designed to only hold a cer-
tain number of bottles, the so-called nominal
capacity.
The nominal capacity indicates how many
standard 0.75 litre bottles you can store in
the appliance (see corresponding product
data sheet at the end of this user manual).
• Abide by the nominal capacity.

Maintaining quality

Storage temperature
The optimum storage temperature varies de-
pending on the type of wine, due to the fact
that wines have different shelf lives and age
differently.
Wine Storage temperature
Semi-sparkling +6°C to +10°C
wine
Sparkling wine +10 °C
White wine +10°C to +12°C
Red wine +12°C to +14°C
Rosé wine +12°C to +16°C
• Avoid strong and frequent variations in
temperature.
• Ensure that there is enough space be-
tween the bottles to promote the circula-
tion of air inside the appliance.
• The appliance's interior temperatures can
increase and lead to increased energy
consumption
– if the glass door is opened frequently or
for a prolonged period.
– if the temperature falls below or exceeds
the prescribed interior temperature.
– if a large number of bottles is put into
storage at once.
– if the appliance's nominal capacity is ex-
ceeded.
Storage period
The storage periods of wines differs and is
dependent on many factors. The following
storage periods can be used as a general
guideline:
Wine Storage period
Rosé wine, light
1 to 2 years
red wine
White wine 3 to 5 years
Red wine approx. 6 years
Very sweet wines 15 years or more
Additional factors
• Make sure to move the wine as little as
possible during storage. Frequently mov-
ing the wine around can lead to rapid
ageing.
• Ensure that the wine is kept as far away
as possible from light and stored in the
dark.
• Do not turn the LED light (1) on frequent-
ly. Exposure to light can affect the taste.
