Maximum storage capacity
NOTICE
Risk of damage!
Damage may be caused to the appli-
ance by placing too much weight on
the bottle shelves.
■
The maximum load of 14 bottles per
shelf must not be exceeded.
The appliance is designed to only hold a cer-
tain number of bottles, the so-called nominal
capacity.
The nominal capacity indicates how many
standard 0.75 litre bottles you can store in
the appliance. You will find information about
the ‘Nominal capacity’ in the data sheet at the
end of this user manual.
• Abide by the nominal capacity.
Maintaining quality
Storage temperature
The optimum storage temperature varies de-
pending on the type of wine, due to the fact
that wines have different shelf lives and age
differently. A temperature setting that is too
high or too low can reduce the shelf life of
your wine. This leads to greater food waste.
Wine
Storage temperature
Semi-sparkling wine +6 °C to +10 °C
Sparkling wine
+10 °C
White wine
+10 °C to +12 °C
Red wine
+12 °C to +14 °C
Rosé wine
+12 °C to +16 °C
• Avoid strong and frequent variations in
temperature.
• Ensure that there is enough space be-
tween the bottles to promote the circula-
tion of air inside the appliance.
• The appliance’s interior temperatures can
increase and lead to increased energy
consumption
– if the glass door is opened frequently or
for a prolonged period.
– if the temperature falls below or exceeds
the prescribed interior temperature.
– if a large number of bottles is put into
storage at once.
– if the appliance’s nominal capacity is ex-
ceeded.
Storage period

dependent on many factors. Use the follow-
ing storage periods as a general guideline:
Wine
Storage period
Rosé wine, light red wine 1 to 2 years
White wine
