HUMIDITY MAINTENANCE SYSTEM
The wine cellar 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.
CLIMADIFF 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.
LOADING
The maximum amount of bottles able to be stored which is given, is only given as an indication , done in factory and is not
contractual. This indication (as with the capacity in liters of a refrigerator) is to give a quick estimation of the size of the
product. This indication corresponds to tests done with a standard bottle: the bottle type "Bordeaux tradition 75 cl" (the
standardized classification contains for each bottle a geographic origin (Bordeaux, Bourgogne, Provence,...), and a type
(traditional, heavy, light, flute,...) each with its own specific height and diameter.
In fact, one could store more bottles by stacking a single type of bottle and without shelves. But a "varied" cabinet is made
up of a large variety of bottles and the "practical" side of the daily use of a cabinet limits the number of bottles stored. Most
probably, a few less bottles will be stored than the indicated amount.
For example, if the cellar is filled only with bottles of burgundy, there will be approximately 30% fewer bottles than the initial
quantity calculated for Bordeaux
Any added shelf will decrease the loading capacity.
