1. What are the storage conditions that concern collectors and consumers of good wine?
Light, humidity, temperature and vibration.
2. What is the ideal temperature for wine?
The ideal temperature to store wine is 11ºC - 14ºC (52ºF~57ºF). Nevertheless, any
temperature between 5ºC~20ºC (41ºF~68ºF) will be ok, as long as it is a constant.
3. What is the ideal humidity for wine?
Humidity between 60%-70% is an excellent range to store wine. High levels of humidity maintain
humidity inside the bottle, thus avoiding evaporation through the cork. Excessively high levels
of humidity are often the cause of development of microorganisms that can prematurely age the
wine and even spoil it.
4. Storage temperature often seems to vary 3 or 4 degrees.
This is normal: Small differences in temperature are necessary for the appliance to work
correctly. When the unit begins the defrosting cycle, the temperature may increase slightly.
When the refrigeration system comes back into action, temperature falls again.
These changes occur in a short period of time and their effect is minimum on the preservation
of the wine. Liquid tends to maintain an average temperature with a margin of +/- 2°C. For
example, if the temperature of a swimming pool is 25°C and during the night the external
temperature drops to 18°C, the temperature of the water will not vary so much. In early morning.
it will only be 22°C
5. Water has accumulated on the floor or at the rear of the unit.
Make sure that the drainage hose inside the appliance is correctly fitted to the water collection
tray at the rear. If it is Ok, when there is a lot of humidity you will have to mop up the excess
water with a sponge.
6. There is water on the interior wall of the unit.
At time of maximum humidity this can happen if the door is opened too frequently.
7. The unit seems never to switch off: it is always working
.
Make sure the door is closed correctly. Place a thermometer inside the cabinet to see if the
unit is displaying the same temperature.
8. Vapor / condensation on the glass door.
This may happen in very humid times, especially in the summer.
Make sure the unit is installed according to the instructions in the manual, more specifically
regarding ventilation, which is highly important for optimum operation and to avoid breakdowns.
Regarding condensation on the outside of the glass door, this is normal and natural in certain
circumstances when there is a high exterior temperature, high relative humidity, a room or
kitchen without proper ventilation, a room the has been closed for a long time and the cold door
of the cabinet will produce condensation.
