b- 2-temperature models (D183 - D283)
Your wine cabinet's temperature is adjusted by using the control panel which contains the fo l l owing fe a t u re s :
• Temperature display: displays the actual
temperature inside your wine cabinet
• Adjustment buttons: enables the required
temperature inside the cabinet to be
selected
• Indicator lights: display the operational
status of the hot (red) and cold (blue)
circuits
To adjust the temperature of your 2-temperature cabinet:
• Carry out the same procedure as for adjusting the temperature setting of the 1 temperature model.
Recommended setting range for the chilling compartment: 6° to 10°C (43° to 50°F)
Recommended setting range for the maturing compartment: 10° to 14°C (50° to 57°F).
The default setting for the chilling compartment is 8°C / 46°F(ideal chilling temperature ) .
H oweve r, this setting can be adjusted between 5° and 12°C (41° and 54°F).
Beyond these limits,
and
the buttons are disabled
The default setting for the maturing compartment is 12°C / 54°F (ideal maturing temperature ) .
H oweve r, this setting can be adjusted between 9° and 15°C (48° and 59°F).
Beyond these limits,
and
the buttons are disabled
In all cases, the variation in temperature settings between the chilling and maturing compartments should not be more than 6°C / 11°F (e.g..: if the chilling
compartment is set at 6°C / 43°F, the maturing compartment setting should not be more than 12°C / 54°F)
In the same way, the temperature variation should not be less than 2°C / 4°F (e.g.: if the chilling compartment is set at 10°C / 50°F, the maturing compartment
should not be set lower than 12°C /54°F )
WARNING: for your cabinet to function correctly it should be located in a room with a temperature
between 0 and 35°C (32° and 95°F)
When making substantial changes to the temperatures it may take several hours to stabilise and display the required temperature.
Did you know?
Contrary to popular belief, all, red, white or sparkling wines can be preserved at a temperature of between 10°
and 14°C. If wine is subjected to violent heat variations, it will “dilate” then “contract”. Such variations create
fatigue in the wine, alter its organic vitality and lead to a loss in quality. For further information on the
temperatures for serving wine, please refer to the table on page 3.
