A Toast to Wine Truths
Like the grapes themselves, many winemyths have been
cultivated over the centuries.
Myth 1:Most wines taste better when aged.
Truth:In fact, less than 5% of wines produced todayare
meant to be aged. Most winesare crafted to be consumed
within the first one to two years.
Myth 2: Wines should be uncorked and decanted allowing
them to “breathe.”
Truth:To breathe or not breathe? While it isbetter to
allow a young tannic Red to breathe in a glass or decanter
tosoften the tannins, anold Red reaches a stage in itslife
where it should be enjoyed soon after opening. Allow an
old Red to breathe for a short time to dissipate any off
odors. Most white wines can be served, ideally, 10-15
minutes after opening.
The Cork: A Mystery on Its Own
Cork Presentation. The ritualof the presentation of the
cork has a richandfascinatinghistory dating backto the
late 1800’s. A phylloxera (root louse) devastation to the
vineyards severely limited the supply of great wines.
Restaurateurswould remove labels on inferior winesand
replace them with labels from superior wines. This made it
necessary forpatrons to protect themselves bychecking
the branding on the cork to ensure that what they ordered
was, in fact, what they were served.
When presented with a cork today, feel it to check for its
integrity, read and match the branding on the cork to the
bottle and set itaside.There is little to be learned from
the cork. The proof is inthe wine.
“Corked” wines. If you’ve ever had a wine that smelled or
tasted of mold, you’ve experienced a wine that may have
been“corked.” Today, betweenfive and eight percent of
wines are tainted with Trichloroanisole (TCA). This
substance, found naturally in plants and trees, is imparted
to the wine through the cork. Corkedwines are a major
concern forwinemakers asit destroysmillions of cases
per yearand puts reputations at stake. Amazing asit may
seem twist-off caps may offer a better alternative and
many great wineries in California, Australia and New
Zealand are pioneering the trend.
Myth 3:When age worthy wines peak, they must be
consumed almost immediately.
Truth:Mostgreat winesreach a plateau period rather
than a peak. Great Bordeaux’s may have as much as a
10-year plateaubefore fading.
Myth 4: Wine colordoesnot change with aging.
Truth:As red wines age they get lighter in color while
whites get darker.

Common Tasting TermsIDEAL WINE STORAGE CONSIDERATIONS
TerminologyDescription
AcidityAcritical element of wine thatis responsible
for preserving the wines freshness. Excess acidity results in an overly tart and sourwine.
BalanceAdesired trait where tannin, fruit and acidity
are in total harmony. Wines with goodbalance tend to age gracefully.
BodyThe weight and presence ofwine in the
mouth provided by the alcohol and tannin level. Full-bodied wines tend tohave thisstrong concentration.
BouquetThe blending ofa wine’s aromawithin the
bottle over a period of time, caused by volatile acidity.
ComplexAsubjective termoften used in tasting. A
wine issaidto be complex if it offers a variety of flavors and scents that continue to evolve as it develops.
FlabbyA wine thatlacksstructure, or is heavy to
the taste, lacks acidity.
Full-BodiedWine high in alcohol and extract, generally
speaking, fills the mouth, powerful.
LeanGenerally describes wines that are slim,
lacking of generosity or thin.
OakyA desirable flavorimpartedto wine if done in
moderation. Most wines are aged in oakbarrels one to three years, thereby receiving this toastyoak characteristic. However, if a weak wine is left in contact toolong with anoakbarrel itwill tendto be overpoweredwith an oakytaste.
TanninTannins are extracted from the grape skins
and stems and arenecessary for a well-balanced red wine. Tannins are easilyidentified in wine tasting as the drying sensation over thegums. Tannins generally fade as a wineages.
Temperature:The most important element about
storage temperature is stability.If wine is kept in a stable
environment between 40°F (7°C) and 65°F (21°C), it will
remain sound. A small 1-2 degree temperature fluctuation
within a stable environment is acceptable. Larger
temperature fluctuations can affect the corks ability to
seal, allowing the wine to “leak” from the bottle.
Humidity: The traditional view on humiditymaintains
that wines shouldbe stored ontheir sides in 50% - 80%
relative humidity to ensure cork moisture and proper fit in
the bottle. Contemporary wisdom suggests that the cork
surface is too small to be impacted by humidity. Further
the cork is sealed with a metal or wax capsule making
humidity penetrationimpossible. The concept of a humid
storage environment was derived from the necessity of
wineries to maintainmoisture intheir cellars to keep
evaporation while wine is aging in the wooden barrels.
Humidity, however, was not intended for the modern
homecellar where wine is stored in glass bottles with
sealed corks.
Light: UV rays are not only harmful topeople, they are
damaging to wines - especially those in clear bottles.
Since oxygen moleculesin wineabsorb UV rays, wine
should never be stored indirect light for long periods of
time.
Vibration: Provided that sediment is left undistributed
and particles are not suspended, vibration in a storage
environment is not an issue. Wines can become flat or
tired when voids and vacuums are created inside the wine
bottle. In order to create voidsand vacuums withina
liquid, aggressive motion or shaking of the wine bottle
would have to occur.

Corporation (Part Number 173348). Comparable products
are acceptable. Frequent cleaning will remove surface
contamination that could lead to rust. Some installations
may require cleaning weekly.

Stainless Steel
If any surface discoloring or rusting appears, clean it
quickly with Bon-Ami
and a nonabrasive cloth. Always clean withthe grain.
Alwaysfinish with Claire

problems.
Using abrasive pads suchas Scotchbrite™ will cause the graining in the stainless steel to become blurred.
Rust not cleaned up promptly can penetrate the surface of the stainlesssteel and complete removal of the rust may not be possible.
Integrated Models
To clean integrated panels, use household cleaner per the
cabinet manufacturer’srecommendation.

Do not use any solvent-based or abrasive
cleaners. These types of cleaners may transfer taste to
the interior products and damage or discolor the interior.
DEFROSTING
Under normal conditions this unit does not require manual
defrosting. Minor frost on the rear wall or visible through
the evaporator plate vents isnormal and will meltduring
each off cycle.
If there is excessive build-up of 1/4" (6mm) or more,
manually defrost the unit.
Ensure the door is closing and sealing properly.

High ambient temperature and excessive humidity can
also produce frost.
CAUTION
!
DO NOT use an ice pick or other sharp
instrument to help speed up defrosting. These
instruments can puncture the inner lining or
damage the cooling unit. DO NOT use any type of
heater to defrost. Using a heater to speed up
defrosting can cause personal injury and
damage to the inner lining.
The drain panwas not designed to capture the
water created whenmanually defrosting. To
prevent water from overflowing the drain pan,
place towels or other absorbent materialsover
the interior drain trough (under the evaporator)
before defrosting.
To defrost:
1.Disconnect power to the unit.
2.Remove all products from the interior.
3.Prop the doorin an open position (2 in. [50 mm]
minimum).
4.Allow the frost tomelt naturally.
5.After the frost melts completely clean the interior and
all removed components. (See INTERIOR CLEANING).
6.When the interior is dry, reconnect power and turn unit

1.VIEWING ACTUAL TEMPERATURE
In viewing temperature in these modes any offsets are taken into account. This means thatif you place a thermistor in a known temperature, let’s say ice water,it may not read the 32°F that you would assume. If the control offset was preset at -3°F while you placed the thermistor in anicebath,the actual thermistor reading when viewing actual temperature would read 35°F. In the unit this would cause the cabinet to push itself 3° cooler. To view pure thermistor readings you must go into the service menu and choose the correct option.
To view the thermistor temperature, push and release the up and down keys.The displaywill show the corrected refrigerator temperature.
