Wine keeps on maturing depending on
the surrounding conditions. The length
of time for which wine can be kept in
good condition will depend on the
temperature but also the air humidity.
The correct temperature
Wine can be stored at a temperature
between 5°C and 18°C. The optimum
temperature is around 8 - 12°C. Most
white wines can be consumed at this
temperature. It is best to take red wine
out of the wine cooler about two hours
before drinking. Open the wine to allow
it to breathe and to develop its aroma.
After two hours red wine will be at the
correct temperature for drinking.
If wine is stored at a temperature above
22°C it will mature too quickly. Wine
should not be stored below 5°C for a
long period of time as it will not mature
fully at this low temperature.
Fluctuations in temperature put wine
under stress and interrupt the maturing
process. It is therefore very important
to maintain a constant temperature.
Safety feature
A thermostat prevents the temperature
in the wine cooler falling below 2°C. If
the external temperature should drop
below this level, a heater element in the
appliance switches on automatically to
keep the temperature inside as
constant as possible.
Using the wine cooler
Setting the temperature in the
wine cooler
Use the two buttons underneath wine
cooler temperature display to set the

– Each subsequent press of the button
adjusts the temperature shown in
1 °C steps.
– Keeping the button pressed in
adjusts the temperature continually.
Approx. 5 seconds after letting go of
the button, the current actual
