Getting to Know Your Wine Cellar

Features
The right environment for your wines...
A vine is an extremely sensitive plant. Grape quality is
dependent on three factors: light, air humidity and ambient
temperature. This sensitivity continues even after the wine is
bottled. To allow a wine’s flavor to fully develop and to preserve
the excellent aroma, it has to be properly stored. Your wine
cellar offers the best storage environment:
A wide temperature range: The unit has two separate
cooling compartments, or zones. Each zone has a wide
temperature adjustment range. You can set one zone to
store wine at low temperature for superb aging and set the
other to a higher temperature for serving wine lightly chilled.
High storage capacity: High storage capacity allows you
to preserve the flavor of your favorite wines. Your wine
cellar can store up to 45 bottles of wine (750 mL each). The
capacity of the upper zone is 15 bottles. The lower zone can
hold up to 30 bottles.
Low Vibration Cooling System and Storage: Wines
require a tranquil environment. The latest technology of your
wine cellar provides virtually vibration free cooling, helping
to preserve wine taste. In addition, the sliding beech wood
storage shelves also provide additional vibration absorption.
Additional Features
• Automatic defrosting system
• Soft white LED interior lighting with on/off switch
• Open-door and malfunction warning system
• Double-layer, UV resistant, tempered glass door, shields
wines from UV rays harmful to wine.
• Door lock
