Optimum temperature and air quality
29
Temperature range
The temperature can be set between
41° and 68°F (5° and 20°C).
Temperature display
In normal operation the temperature
display shows the actual temperature in
the appliance.
If the temperature in one of the zones is
not within the range that the appliance
is able to display, dashes will light up in
the temperature display.
Depending on the ambient temperature
and the temperature setting, it can take
the appliance a few hours to reach the
temperature required and for this tem-
perature to then be shown as a con-
stant temperature in the display.
Air quality and humidity
A conventional refrigerator with its low
humidity level is not the best place to
store wine. It is very important to store
wine in an atmosphere with a high hu-
midity level so that the corks remain
moist on the outside. Low humidity
causes corks to dry out from the out-
side, and so do not seal the bottles as
tightly. Wine should be stored lying
down to keep the corks moist from the
inside too. Air entering the bottle will in-
evitably spoil the wine.
Do
not
introduce additional moisture
into the air, e.g. by placing a dish of
water in the appliance. This will lead
to condensation on the interior walls,
which can cause corrosion damage.
