The cellar is too cold
The humidity level is too high
Bottle labels are coming unstuck
The humidity level is too low
insufficient cooling: adjust it.
The external temperature is beyond the
cellar's operating temperature.
The thermostat is set to provide excessive
cooling: adjust it.
Humidity is regulated by the principle of
thermodynamics. During a cooling period, a
frost forms (cold air dries the air), humidity
will fall to 40%. During a heating period, the
frost melts and humidity may reach 75%.
Taking an average of these two values, we
obtain an average humidity of 55%. It is
essential to calculate an average value over
several cycles and not from a single
reading.
There are two alternatives for reducing the
cellar's humidity:
-
- Replace the charcoal filters
-
- Decrease the temperature slightly inside
the cellar

To increase the humidity in the cellar, there
are two alternatives:
-
- Place a jar of water in the upper part of the
cellar
-
- Raise the temperature slightly inside the
cellar
