WINE CARE

Having purchased our dual-zone Integrated Wine Cabinet, you can rest assured that your wines are well cared for. Your Integrated Wine Cabinet model has been designed to carefully consider both the maturation and ideal drinking temperature of all wine varieties. Our Wine Modes have been created to offer guidance for the perfect storage conditions for your wine, whilst allowing you adjustability to suit your personal needs.
Temperature
Temperature control is critical for the maturation of wines, as significant daily or weekly temperature fluctuations can denature wines. If storage temperatures are excessively high this can reduce the wines aromatic potential and can speed up maturation. This can cause some wines to take on a ‘spoiled fruit’ flavouring. If storage temperatures are excessively low, this can have the opposite effect and stunt a wine’s natural maturation process. This can prevent a wine’s flavours from developing to their full potential.
Humidity
Optimum humidity levels are also important for the storage of cork enclosed wines, especially for long term storage. Dry environments can lead to dried out corks encouraging wine evaporation as well as oxygen permeation leading to oxidised wine. As for extremely humid conditions, there is potential for mould growth on bottles and labels.
UV-Tempered Glass Door
Light is known to be damaging to wines, particularly UV light. Light can react with wine, creating hydrogen sulphide compounds affecting the tannins and colour. Your Integrated Wine Cabinet has been designed to eliminate this threat by incorporating a double UV-tempered glass door, dark interiors and dimmed LED lighting.
Vibration
Your Integrated Wine Cabinet model has been designed to have minimal vibrations, important for optimal wine care.
Ventilation
Wine should be stored in an odour-free environment. You Integrated Wine Cabinet model comes with an activated carbon air filter to assist with removing taint and odour inside each compartment.
Helpful tips:
●
Follow our pre-set Wine Modes as a guideline for optimal storage and the perfect drinking temperature.
●
For entertaining, choose from one of our four Light Modes. Light Modes will default to Low after a certain duration to ensure the best wine care.
●
If storing wine for long durations we recommend turning the Light Mode to Off.
●
Store bottles lying flat on their sides to keep the liquid up against the cork which should keep the corks from drying out.
●
Allow red wine to breathe. We suggest opening the bottle at least 1 hour before serving. Alternatively, decant red wine into a decanter.

LOADING YOUR WINE BOTTLES

The Integrated Wine Cabinet has a recommended maximum storage capacity of 91 standard 750ml bottles. The loading arrangement outlined is recommended when using the wine cabinet at full capacity. Racks may be removed to store larger sized bottles.
DOs
●
Before loading wine into the cabinet confirm that all racks are secured and stable.
●
Stack wine bottles of same sizes to enable easy access if required.
●
Only interlock wine bottles of the same size. This ensures the first tier is stable to allow stacking.

Follow the recommended loading arrangement outlined for each rack.
DON’Ts
●
Do not load more than the recommended number of wine bottles on each rack.
●
Do not interlock wine bottles of different sizes that do not fit well together on a rack.
IMPORTANT!
●
When stacking bottles, take extra care to avoid breakages.
●
A net or vented mat can be used between bottles in a stack to minimise risk of breakage. Alternatively, net sleeves can be used to protect individual bottles.
●
Ensure the protector sleeve or mat you use allows sufficient air flow and is odour free.

19

CLEANING CARE - INTERIOR

IMPORTANT!
Remove all wooden racks prior to cleaning.
●
Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasives, ammonia, chlorine, bleach, concentrated detergents, solvents or abrasive scouring pads on any part of your appliance. Some of these chemicals may damage your appliance.
●
Wipe interior surfaces with a mild liquid detergent dissolved in warm water and a soft cloth. Rinse with clean water and dry with a clean, lint-free cloth.
Wooden racks
Do not use water or cleaners for general (day-to-day) cleaning as they will damage the wood. Wine spills should be immediately wiped up to avoid rack staining. If a wine stain has appeared, it may be spot cleaned using mild liquid detergent dissolved in warm water and a soft cloth. Only just dampen the cloth and dab the stain to keep the wood as dry as possible. Follow up using a damp (water only), soft cloth and then dry thoroughly with a clean, dry cloth. If racks are heavily stained, the color may darken over time.
Replacement racks can be purchased through Fisher & Paykel Customer Care Center, or online at finsherpaykel.com (this service is available to selected markets only)
