harmless. If anything the building of sediment can be considered a good sign because it means
that the wine was not subjected to much (if any) filtering, meaning that the flavours and aromas
should be preserved better.
A good way to get around sediment (if it is a problem) is to stand the bottle upright, the day before
opening, so that the sediment can settle to the bottom of the bottle.
You can also decant your wine; decanting will “open up” the flavour of both young and old wines,
but younger wines in particular. To decant, pour the wine slowly and evenly into your decanter.
Humidity control
Important note: this feature is optional and will only enhance the storage conditions of the wine
within the appliance. If you do not want to use this feature simply remove the humidity reservoir(s).
The wine cooler is equipped with a system for maintaining the correct level of humidity for storing
wine. There is a humidity reservoir (a small plastic container) installed on the top shelf of the top
zone. Remove this from the runner on the top shelf/shelves and fill it/them
¾
full with cold water
and reinstall onto the runners.
Note: You must ensure the humidity reservoir is positioned correctly on the runners on the top
shelf to avoid the possibility of water spillage.
Note: Check the water level regularly and refill as necessary.
Removing the shelves
For easy access to the bottle stored, pull the shelves out approximately 1/3. The shelves are
designed with an emergency stop to prevent them being removed too far when loaded.
To prevent damaging the door seal, make sure the door is fully open when removing shelves. To
remove any of the shelves, move the shelf to the position where the notch/indentation on each
side of the wooden shelf is exactly under the plastic posts. Then simply lift the wooden shelf
upwards and remove.
