RELATIVE HUMIDITY
Between 55 and 75%, this is the average relative humidity range recommended to keep the cork of your
bottles sufficiently humid to maintain the flexibility and elasticity required to keep it hermetic to liquids, while
letting your wines breath. Your Climadiff wine cellar automatically controls the relative humidity in the
cabinet.
The combination of (1) the circulation of filtered ambient air loaded with humidity in the cabinet, (2) the
phenomenon of condensation linked to the cabinet's operation, and (3) the surface area of the inner steel
walls coated with a paint of large particle size offers your wines ideal ambient conditions.
Note : under exceptionally dry ambient conditions, it may be necessary to provide for the adding of
water. To do this, you can place a wet sand bin in the device or else a bowl of pure water (or tap
water provided it does not have a strong smell)
Wait a few days after you have started operating the wine cellar for the first time so that the ideal average
relative humidity (55 to 70%) is stabilized in the cabinet.
Important : the humidity rate can be around 45 % or even less if the appliance is plugged in a room with
extreme ambient conditions and/or if the room is very dry.
