o During this period of time, you should try not to open the door frequently or place bottles inside of the appliance.
o If the unit is switched off or unplugged, you must allow at least 5 minutes before restarting the appliance or
reconnecting it to your mains supply.
Loading the wine cooler
IMPORTANT: Your appliance is ideally suited to store 0.75 liter Bordeaux style wine bottles. Whilst it can store
larger bottles, you must make sure that they do not prevent the door from shutting properly.
o
Always check that you can close the door without it fouling on a wine bottle, before shutting it.
When loading several bottles of wine at once, it will take longer for the appliance to cool the individual bottles.
o
o
As many bottles may differ in size and dimensions, the actual number of bottles you are able to store may vary.
o
The maximum storage number is based on standard 0.75 litre Bordeaux style wine bottles.

o
Temperature stability is the most important factor when it comes to storing wine.
o
Exposure to light, vibrations or fluctuations in temperature and humidity can all cause wine to spoil. When properly
stored, wines not only maintain their quality but many will actually improve in aroma, flavour and complexity as they
mature.
o
Wines kept at a higher temperature will age faster. Wine that is exposed to temperatures that are greater than 18°C
(64°F) will suffer from poorer flavour and aroma.
o
If wine is kept at too low a temperature, this can result in the development of harmful deposits. A humidity of
60%~70% is ideal for keeping corks from shrinking.
o
After a bottle of wine has been opened, the wine comes into contact with air. So it is best to store the remainder of
the bottle upright, to minimize the surface area of the wine that is coming into contact with the air.
o
Once opened, wine will remain in a drinkable condition for two days for delicate whites or three days for rich reds, as
long as the bottle as been resealed. You should make sure that the seal is firm by checking the stopper.
