Storing / Tempering

• Fill the device from the bottom tot he top, this cools the bottles faster.

• The following specifications are only recommendations and are optional:

Wine Temperature

Champagne, sparking wine 7 – 10°C / 45 – 50°F
Fruit wine 10 – 12°C / 50 – 54°F
Light red wine / white wine 12 – 13°C / 54 – 56°F
Dessert wine 14 – 15°C / 57 – 59°F
Red wine 14 – 17°C / 57 – 63°F

• We suggest to serve wine cool than too warm; white wines less cool in winter and red wines cooler
in summer.

• The temperature in the device will be warmer at the top of the cooling zone and cooler at the bot­tom. If you are going to store a mixture of wine types in the device, it is recommended that the red
wines are stored at the top of the cooling zone, white wine in the middle of the cooling zone and
sparking wines at the bottom.

• Ultimately, the correct temperature is a matter of personal taste.

Interior light

The light contributes to a warming of the interior. Therefore we recommend, switch the light off if it is
not needed. This also saves energy!

IMPORTANT

The light diodes of the device have an extremely long lifespan. It is not necessary and
also not possible, to exchange them. The light diodes are firmly assembled into the
light. Under no circumstances should you open the light! This would irreparably dam­aged the device.
