Important information about storing your wine
Your Marathon wine and/or beverage cooler has been “engineered to perform” and provide the perfect conditions
for storing and/or serving your wine. Fine wines require long and gentle development and need specific condi
-
tions in which to reach their full potential. Ideally, for long term storage, we suggest keeping your wine cooler at a
constant temperature between 12ºC and 14ºC.
Please note that not all wines will improve over the years, and some must be consumed within the first few years of
bottling, while other fine wines are capable of ageing over 50 years. For questions regarding the maturity of your
wines, we suggest you consult your local wine retailer for information on the wine of your choice
Auto Defrost Cooling System
For convenience and performance, your Marathon wine and/or beverage cooler is designed with an “Auto
Defrost” fan forced air cooling system. There is no need to ever defrost your wine /beverage cooler. One of the
benefits of the Marathon Auto Defrost system is that during “Off-cycle” of the cooling system, the refrigerated
surface of the wine and/or beverage cooler defrost automatically and out of sight. The Defrost water is collec-
ted and drains automatically into a container located at the back of the wine cellar next to the compressor. The
heat from the compressor then evaporates the defrost water and circulates humidity back into the wine cooler
to create the perfect humidity level required by the natural corks to maintain a long lasting seal.
All wine and/or beverage coolers are equipped with a double glazed glass door that has a third internal acrylic
layer to minimize condensation on the glass door. However, depending on the room temperature and humidity
vs. the wine cooler - when the door is opened, and closed, condensation or fogging on the glass may appear,
but once the temperature is stabilizes again in the wine and/or beverage cooler, the condensation/fogging on
the glass will gradually disappear. This is normal.
