Alarm
The appliance is equipped with an
alarm system, to ensure that the
temperature does not rise unnoticed
because of energy loss or an open
door.
The alarm system is always
operational, it does not need to be
turned on.
Temperature alarm
If the temperature becomes too warm,
an alarm sounds, the "alarm" indicator
turns red and flashes. At the same time
the affected zone flashes in the display.
If you use the Home Security
System, a temperature alarm will
also trigger your security alarm.
Once the temperature alarm is
turned off, the security alarm will
also shut off.
The alarm will sound and the display
will flash if:
–
too much warm air flows into the
appliance, for example when bottles
are being loaded, re-arranged, or
taken out.
–
a large number of bottles are being
stored for the first time.
Turning the temperature alarm Off
As soon as the alarm condition is
corrected, the alarm signal turns off
and the affected zone stops flashing in
the display. The "alarm" indicator goes
out.
To turn the alarm off early, press
^
the "alarm" sensor button.
The alarm signal turns off. The "alarm"
indicator remains red and the
corresponding appliance zone
continues to flash until the alarm
condition is corrected.
Door alarm
If the appliance door is left open for
over 5 minutes, an alarm signal will
sound and the "alarm" indicator will light
up.
Turning the door alarm Off
Once the door is closed the alarm turns
off and the "alarm" indicator goes out. If
the door has not been closed properly,
the alarm will sound again after five
minutes.
–
the power fails.

^
To turn the alarm off early, press
the "alarm" sensor button. The "alarm"
indicator and signal will turn off.
Optimum temperature and air quality
Wine will continue to mature depending
on the surrounding conditions. The
length of time which wine can be kept
in good condition will therefore depend
not only on the temperature but also on
the air quality.
The wine storage unit provides a
constant temperature, increased
humidity and an odor-free environment,
creating the best possible storage
conditions for your wine.
Temperature
Wine can be stored at temperatures
between 41°F and 64°F (5 - 18°C). If
you would like to store red and white
wines together, choose a temperature
between 50°F and 54°F (10 - 12 °C).
Most white wines are palatable at this
temperature. It is best to take red wine
out of the appliance about 2 hours
before drinking. Open the wine to allow
it to breathe and to develop its aroma.
After 2 hours, red wine will be at the
correct temperature for drinking.
Storage temperatures above 72°F
(22°C) will cause wines to mature too
quickly. By contrast, wine should not be
stored below 41°F (5°C), since it will not
mature fully at this low temperature.
Setting the temperature
The factory (default) settings for the
temperature zones are as follows:
The upper temperature zone is set for
optimal red-wine storage:
Red temper 62°F (17°C)
The middle temperature zone is set for
optimal white-wine storage:
White temper 46°F (8°C)
The lower temperature zone is intended
for wine storage in general.
Wine storage 51°F (11°C)
You can change the "purpose" of the
zones as you wish.
For example, you can store white wine
in the upper temperature zone, as long
as you adjust the temperature
accordingly:
^ Tap the sensor button for the desired
temperature zone, so that it turns
yellow.
Fluctuations in temperature put wine
under stress and interrupt the maturing
process. Therefore, it is important to
maintain a constant temperature.
^
Select the preferred temperature
setting so that the sensor button turns
yellow.
The setting "white temper" is not
available in the lower temperature
zone.
15
Optimum temperature and air quality
Temperatures can be independently
set in all three zones.
The unit comes factory pre-set for white
wine, red wine, and wine storage.
If you wish, you can change any or all
of these factory settings.
Select the temperature zone you
^
would like to change the temperature
in.
Use the X and Y buttons next to the
temperature display to set the
temperature warmer or colder.
The factory-suggested temperature for
the selected zone appears in yellow.
The temperature is now stored for this
zone.
Temperature ranges
–
upper temperature zone
3°C to 18°C or
37°F to 64°F.
Insulation panels for thermal
separation
The unit has two fixed insulation panels,
to divide the interior into the three
different temperature zones. This
allows you to store three different types
of wine, such as red wine, white wine
and champagne.
The correct serving temperature is
crucial for the taste and therefore your
enjoyment of the wine.
The following temperatures are
recommended for the different types of
wine:
Red wine:
Rosé:
White wine:
Sparkling
