Use of the TriMode compartment
Use of the TriMode compartment
The TriMode compartment, used in conjunction with the Cantina and
Wine Cellar compartment, allows great flexibility in the use of the appliance.
Some possible uses:
Liquors, such as vodka, gin, tequila, schnapps, limoncello and the
glasses to serve them
Rapid cooling of beverages, by activating the bottle cooler func-
tion
Storage of large amounts of ice.
As expansion of the Cantina or of the Wine Cellar
For refrigeration of beer and soft drinks
For storage of cold dishes and snacks.
For conservation of ham, salmon
gourmet preparations.

As is known, wine can be stored for long periods of time if this is done
under the following conditions:
Suitable temperature without appreciable variations over time
Controlled level of humidity
Protection from light
Absence of noise and vibrations
Absence of odours
Bottle kept horizontal.
All of these conditions are fully met in the Fhiaba Wine Cellar.
The space offered by the Cantina and Wine Cellar compartments,
which can be expanded as necessary by using the TriMode compartment as a wine cellar, allows conservation of your best wines at three
different temperatures.
The three compartments are initially set to the following temperatures:
Cantina compartment
+12° C (53.6° F) - adjustable from +4° C to +18° C (from 39,2° F to 64,4° F)
Wine Cellar compartment
+10° C (50° F) - adjustable from +4° C to +18° C (from 39,2° F to 64,4° F)
TriMode drawer
-18° (0° F) - adjustable from -15° C to -22° C (from 5° F to -7.6° F)
(freezer mode)
To transform the TriMode compartment into a wine cellar space, you
must access the Menu menu, set it as a refrigerator compartment, and
adjust it to a temperature between +4° C and +8° C (from 39.2° F to
46.4° F).
All the temperatures can be modified according to the characteristics
of the wines and personal preferences. However, you should attempt
to keep the temperature as constant as possible over time.
Rapid and large-scale temperature variations can in fact cause dilation of the liquid and early aging of the wine.
You should also avoid very low temperatures (below 4° C - 39.2° F )
which may lead to the formation of deposits and damage the aesthetic qualities of the wine.
All the compartments offer optimal conditions and take into account
all these needs. It should however be noted that the Cantina compartment, in particular, is thermostatically controlled in a very precise manner and ensures the utmost care and attention over time of your most
prized bottles.
