IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT TEMPERATURE
Your wine cellar has been designed to guarantee optimum conditions for storing and/or serving
your wines. Fine wines require long and gentle developments and need specific conditions in
which to reach their full potential. All wines mature at the same temperature, which is a
constant temperature set between 12ºC to 14ºC. Only the temperature of "dégustation" (wine
appreciation) varies according to the type of wines (see "Wine Serving Temperature Chart"
above). This being said and as it is for natural cellars used by wine producers for long period
of storage, it is not the exact temperature that is important, but its consistency. In other words,
as long as the temperature of your wine cellar is constant (between 12ºC to 14ºC) your wines
will be stored in perfect conditions. Not all wines will improve over the years. Some should be
consumed at an early stage (2 to 3 years) while other ones have tremendous ageing capability
(50 and over). All wines have a peak in maturity. Do check with your wine merchant to get the
relevant information.
DEFROSTING/CONDENSATION/ HYGROMETRY/ VENTILATION
Your wine cellar is designed with "Auto-cycle" defrost system. During "Off-cycle" the
refrigerated surfaces of the wine cellar defrost automatically. Defrost water drains automatically
from the cellar storage compartment and part of it goes into a drainage container, which is
located at the back of the wine cellar next to the compressor. The heat is transferred from the
compressor and evaporates any condensation that has collected in the pan. Part of the
remaining water is collected within the wine cellar for humidity purposes.
This system enables the creation of the correct humidity level inside your wine cellar required
by the natural cork to maintain a long lasting seal.
Notes: The water collected by condensation, is therefore recycled. Under extremely dry
environmental conditions, you may have to add some water into the water container provided
with your wine cellar. All units are equipped with a double glazed glass door that has a third
internal acrylic layer to minimize condensation on the glass door. The wine cellar is not totally
sealed; fresh air inlet is permitted through the drainpipe. Air circulates through the cellar by
means of a fan/fans and the hollow shelves.
Notes: During the refrigerating cycle, heat is given off and disperses through the external
surfaces of the wine cellar. Avoid touching the surfaces during those cycles.
