The optimum temperature and air quality
28
Air quality and humidity
In most refrigerators the humidity is too
low for wine and therefore a refrigerator
is not suitable for wine storage. High
humidity levels are necessary when
storing wine to moisten corks from the
outside. When the humidity is too low
the corks dry out and the bottle is no
longer tightly sealed. For this reason
wine bottles should always be stored
horizontally to ensure that corks are
also kept moist from the inside. If air
gets into the bottle, this will have a neg-
ative impact on the wine!
Danger of damage from excess
amounts of moisture
An increase in humidity will lead to
condensation on the interior walls.
Condensate can cause damage such
as corrosion to the wine unit.
Do
not
introduce additional moisture
to air in the cabinet, e.g. by placing a
dish of water in the wine unit.
Using
DynaCool
(constant humidity)
DynaCool raises the relative humidity
inside the whole of the wine condition-
ing unit. It also distributes the humidity
and the temperature evenly around the
interior so that you can store all your
wine under the same excellent condi-
tions.
This will create a stable climate in the
unit which imitates that of a wine cel-
lar.
Switching on DynaCool
If you would like to use the wine condi-
tioning unit to store wine over the long
term, we recommend that you keep the
DynaCool function switched on.
Touch the sensor to switch the
DynaCool function on/off. The sensor
will be highlighted in yellow.
Even if DynaCool has not been
switched on, the fans in the wine con-
ditioning unit will come on automatic-
ally as soon as the cooling system
switches on. This ensures the op-
timum climate for your wine is main-
tained.
The fans automatically switch off
when the door is open.
