Precautions
•
Do not place your cabinet in an area likely to be flooded.
•
Do not position your cabinet near to a source of heat or expose it to the effects of direct sunlight.
•
Prevent water from splashing on the entire rear section of the appliance.
•
Position your appliance so that there is a minimum space of 10 cm between the wall and the
rear wall of your cabinet.
•
Arrange the power lead so that it is accessible and does not come into contact with any component of the
appliance.
•
Tilt the appliance backwards to adjust the back feet (adjusted by screwing or unscrewing), so that the cabinet
is inclined rearwards by 2 - 3° (this allows the condensation to drain away).
•
Do not obstruct the ventilation holes at the back of the appliance.
•
The ventilation holes must be at least 10 cm away from walls or objects.
Any LEDs must only be replaced by a qualified
electrician.
Do not plug several appliances into a multi-socket and
do not use an extension cord.
1. Use
Wine Bar 8.0 is designed to bring non-sparkling wines (white, rosé or red) to the correct serving temperature and
protect them from oxidation once opened.
The appliance must never be used for sparkling wines (Champagne etc.)
Wine Bar 8.0 is designed to store:
4 bottles of red wine and 4 bottles of white/rosé wine;
or 8 bottles of red wine
or 8 bottles of white/rosé wine
+ an extra 6 bottles, stored at the correct serving temperature.
Whether these bottles are open (vacuum sealed) or closed (being brought to the correct serving temperature), with
Wine Bar 8.0, your open bottles retain all of their flavours, for up to 10 days.
The key to an optimal wine drinking experience
1) Serving wine at the correct temperature:
In order to fully develop all of their flavours, wines must be brought to the correct serving temperature. A wine kept
at a temperature which is too high will seem too alcoholic. On the contrary, a temperature which is too low will dull
the flavours and prevent them from fully expressing themselves. The correct serving temperature for white/rosé wines
is 8°C - 10°C / 46 °F - 50°F. That of red wines is 16°C - 18°C / 60°F-64°F.
Wine Bar 8.0 respects your wine, which is why it brings it to the correct serving temperature gradually.
For example: a bottle of white/rosé wine taken from a wine cellar at 12°C / 54°F will need approximately 1 hour 30
minutes to reach the correct serving temperature (based on a full bottle and an ambient temperature of 20°C / 68°F).
In the same conditions, a bottle of red wine will require approximately 3 hours to reach the correct serving temperature.
2) Protecting wine from oxidation once the bottle has been opened:
Wine breathes, it is a living and evolving material. Upon contact with oxygen in the ambient air, wine will oxidize very
quickly.
Wine must be protected from any contact with oxygen in order to retain its tasting qualities. Wine Bar 8.0 protects
your wines – its air vacuum system removes air from the bottle, in this way protecting your wine from oxidation.
