5. EQUIPMENT
The climate control system
According to advice from specialists, the ideal temperature for storing wine is around 12°C, within a
bracket of 10 to 14°C. Do not confuse this with service temperature, which varies between 5 and
22°C, depending on the specific nature of the wine.
It is especially important to avoid sudden changes in temperature. Designed by specialists for
oenophiles, this appliance, unlike a simple refrigerator, takes into account the sensitivity of grand cru
wines to sudden variations in temperature by ensuring the close control of a
constant average
temperature .
Humidity maintenance system
The wine cellars not equipped of charcoal filter have a manual system for maintaining a correct level
of humidity. If humidity is too low, snap the small plastic reservoir on to top rack of wine cellar. Fill
reservoir to ¾ full. Check water level occasionally to refill.
Designed by specialists in oenology as written above, the wine cellar is allowed for a storage period of
2 months maximum. Avintage has taken care of the cork’s sensibility to the humidity rate. That’s why
the plastic reservoir has to be put on the top shelf to ensure a minimum humidity. Be careful to control
the water level if you store your wine cellar for a long period.
Make sure the water tank is well positioned to avoid any liquid falling.
The anti-vibration system
The refrigeration compressor is equipped with special dampers ( silent-blocks ) and the inner space is
insulated from the body by a thick layer of polyurethane foam. These characteristics prevent the
transmission of vibration to your wines.
The winter system (depending on model)
The winter kit is a frost protection system which enables the cellar to operate in an environment where
the temperature can down up to 5°C. A sensor located outside the appliance triggers a low power
electrical element when the ambient temperature in the room falls to around 8°C in case. This is a low
power element to avoid sudden rises in the temperature of the wine and so avoid thermal shocks that
are damaging to the preservation of the wine. The kit is intended to raise the cellar’s internal
temperature even before there is a thermal exchange with the bottles.
The anti-UV system
Light accelerates the ageing of wine. In our solid door cellars, your wines are naturally protected, on
condition, of course, that the door is not opened too often. This glass-door model has been specially
treated and filters out harmful ultraviolet rays, thus ensuring your wines are perfectly shielded.
Defrosting
Your appliance is equipped with an automatic defrost cycle. When a cooling cycle finishes, the
appliance’s refrigerated surfaces are defrosted automatically. The defrost water is channeled into a
condensates evaporation tray which is located in the back of the appliance near the compressor. The
heat produced by the compressor then evaporates the condensates collected in the tray.
Shelves

To prevent damage to the door seal, ensure that the door is fully open before pulling out the
shelves to add or remove bottles.
