Bottle ageing compartment
The ageing compartment's main function is that of
guaranteeing that your wines are preserved in optimal
conditions.
The wine cellar's temperature was factory pre-set at
15° C, a temperature that is considered optimal for
most wines.
Wine has a complex nature and it derives from a long
and slow process. In order to best express its
attributes, very specific conditions are necessary.
All wines are preserved at the same temperature, but,
depending on their different characteristics, wines are
served and tasted at very different temperatures (
see
the Table of ideal wine temperatures).
Therefore, just as for manufacturers' wine cellars, for
your new appliance, the absolute temperature value is
not important for preserving your wine. Rather, the
constant temperature through time is important. Wine
preservation is ideal at any temperature, as long as
that temperature does not vary.
Manual temperature control
Should you need to adjust the temperature inside the
wine cellar, follow the instructions below:
1. When you plug in your wine cellar, the display
shows the temperature that has been set
2. Press the UP button (
see Control Panel) for one
second. The temperature will begin to blink.
3. Press the + or – buttons until you reach the desired
temperature.
4. Wait 5 seconds for the temperature to stop blinking.
5. Wait until the wine cellar reaches its temperature
before you place the wine bottles inside.
The inside light does not go on (or it goes off
temporarily) when the inside temperature goes over
24° C. This allows you to reach the pre-set
temperature more quickly.
