General directions
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.
Conservation temperature
The space offered by the Cantina (Riserva) 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.
Cantina (Riserva)
The three compartments are initially set to the following temperatures:
Wine Cellar
TriMode
Models with Wine Cellar and Cantina (Riserva)
Wine Cellar
TriMode
Cantina (Riserva) 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 (Riserva)
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.
