• After a bottle of wine has been opened, the wine comes into contact with air. So it
is best to store the remainder of the bottle upright, to minimize the surface area of
the wine that is coming into contact with the air.
• Once opened, wine will remain in a drinkable condition for two days for delicate
whites or three days for rich reds, as long as the bottle as been resealed. You
should make sure that the seal is firm by checking the stopper.
• Special stoppers that keep wine sparking and Champagne bubbling for one or two
days after opening, can be bought at most good wine shops.
• When stored correctly, white wines can keep well for up to two years. Full bodied
reds will age well for ten years and dessert wines will age well for up to twenty
years.
• When you buy a bottle of wine, you should transfer it to a suitable storage location
immediately (if you are not going to store it in your wine cooler).
• Cheaper bottles of wine will not age as well as more expensive ones.
• To make the most of the bouquet and taste of your wine, never fill more than half
a glass at a time. It will also help if the shape of your wine glass is appropriate
for your wine. The size and shape of your wine glass's bowl will determine the
intensity and complexity of the bouquet. The stem should be long enough to allow
you to avoid hand contact with the bowl of the glass and should be tulip-shaped or
tapered at the top.

CLEANING AND CARE

Cleaning the Unit
• First switch off the unit and disconnect the power plug from the socket.
Remove the entire contents.
• Wash the interior with a damp cloth dipped in lukewarm water with a little
detergent.
• Make sure that the rubber seal on the door is clean so that the unit remains
powerful.
• The exterior of the wine refrigerator should be cleaned with a mild detergent.
• Dry the inside and outside with a soft cloth.
• Dust and anything else that blocks the exhaust air openings will reduce the cooling
capacity of the unit. If necessary, suck off the exhaust air opening.
Shutdown in absentia
• Turn off the unit first. Then disconnect the power plug.
• Remove the entire contents.
• Clean the unit.
