The temperature in the cellar is not
consistent
The cellar's compressor runs continuously
Vibration
The cellar makes a lot of noise
There are unpleasant smells in the cellar
The bottle shelves sag when loaded
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.
2
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-heated room with a temperature of
between 10 and 12°C), please contact your retailer's
after-sales service.
If no cold is being produced, call your retailer's after-
sales service.
Check to ensure that the cellar is indeed level and that
all the feet are resting on the ground.
1 The compressor is noisy: check that it is fixed to the
rubber shock absorbers (silent blocks) and whether it is
in contact with another element.
2 Small rattling sounds are heard: they result from the
circulation of gas in the pipes and are part of the normal
operation of your wine cellar.
1 Clean the cellar and ventilate it for several days.
2 Replace the charcoal filters.
Check that you are not exceeding the load capacity and
that the shelves are correctly positioned.
