cause more air to be sucked into the bottle and result
in further deterioration.
Slight effervescence in still wine
-
this isn’t
really a problem with the way the wine has been
stored, but as a result of incomplete malolactic
fermentation before the wine was bottled. A good way
to get rid of the effervescence is to let the wine
breathe. Alternatively you can use a bottle vacuum
device, after about five minutes the effervescence will
vanish.
Sediment-
t
his is not normally a problem, however
both red and white wines can produce sediment after
a number of months in a bottle. The sediment consists
of tartrate crystals and is totally 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.

Carbon Filter Change
A good ambient air quality is important for wine

odor and improve air quality.For the models with
Carbon Filter, we suggest to replace it once a
year.Pls.contact your dealer to get the filter.

Hold the Carbon Filter
and turn it 90° to the left
orright to Remove it;
Reinstalling the Carbon
Filter:

Hold the Carbon Filter
and turn it 90° to the left
orright until it clicks into place.
Defrosting
Defrosting occurs automatically inside of the Wine
Cooler during operation. The defrost water is collected
by the evaporating tray and evaporates automatically.
The evaporating tray and defrost water drain hole
should be cleaned periodically. This will prevent water
from collecting in the bottom of the Wine Cooler,
instead of flowing down the defrost drainage channel
and drain hole.
You can also pour a small amount of water down the
drain hole to clean inside of it.
You should be careful to make sure that wine bottles
do not touch the rear wall of the appliance, as this can
interrupt the automatic defrosting process and deflect
water into the base of your Wine Cooler.
