Important: When the temperature is changed, the compressor works harder to reach the
required temperature. During this time, the side panels of the wine cooler can reach up to
45 °C however they will cool down when the set temperature is reached.
LOADING THE WINE COOLER
IMPORTANT: Your appliance is ideally suited to store 0.75 litre Bordeaux style wine bot-
tles. Whilst it can store larger bottles, you must make sure that they do not prevent the
door from shutting properly.
• Always check that you can close the door without it fouling on a wine bottle, before shut-
ting it.
• When loading several bottles of wine at once, it will take longer for the appliance to cool
the individual bottles
• As many bottles may differ in size and dimensions, the actual number of bottles you are
able to store may vary
• The maximum storage number is based on standard 0.75 litre Bordeaux style wine bottles.
STORING YOUR WINE
The chart below indicates the ideal storage temperatures for different types of wine:

• Temperature stability is the most important factor when it comes to storing wine.
• Exposure to light, vibrations or fluctuations in temperature and humidity can all cause
wine to spoil. When properly stored, wines not only maintain their quality but many will
actually improve in aroma, flavour and complexity as they mature.
• Wines kept at a higher temperature will age faster. Wine that is exposed to temperatures
that are greater than 18 °C (64 °F) will suffer from poorer flavour and aroma.
• If wine is kept at too low a temperature, this can result in the development of harmful
deposits. A humidity of 60%~70% is ideal for keeping corks from shrinking.
• 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 sparkling 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 imme-
diately (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.
