Storing Your Wines
The chart below indicates the ideal storage temperatures for different
types of wine:
Type of wine Temperature
(Celsius)
Temperature
(Fahrenheit)
Red wine (*) 15.5 – 18.5°C 59.9 – 65.3°F
White wine (**) 10 - 15°C 50 – 59°F
Sparkling wines/
Champagne 7.2 – 9.5°C 45 – 49.1°F
Rose wine 9.5 – 10.5°C 49.1 – 50.9°F
Vintage wine 13°C 55°F
* Light red wines, such as Beaujolais, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Franc benet
from being served slightly cooler than full-bodied reds.
** Chardonnay is often served too cold. You should chill it at a warmer
temperature inside of your Wine Cooler. Or leave it to warm slightly when
you remove it from your Wine Cooler.
o Temperature stability is the most important factor when it comes to
storing wine.
o Exposure to light, vibrations or uctuations 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 21°C (70°F) will suffer from poorer
avour and aroma.
.15.
o If wine is kept at too low a temperature, this can result in the
development of harmful deposits. A humidity of 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.
o Special stoppers that keep wine sparkling and Champagne bubbling for
one or two days after opening, can be bought at most good wine shops.
o When stored correctly, white wines can keep well for up to two years. Full
bodied reds will age well for ten years and dessert wines will age well for
up to twenty years.
o When you buy a bottle of wine, you should transfer it to a suitable storage
location immediately (if you are not going to store it in your Wine Cooler).
o Cheaper bottles of wine will not age as well as more expensive ones.
o To make the most of the bouquet and taste of your wine, never ll more
than half a glass at a time. It will also help if the shape of your wine glass
is appropriate for your wine. The size and shape of your wine glass’s bowl
will determine the intensity and complexity of the bouquet. The stem
should be long enough to allow you to avoid hand contact with the
bowl of the glass and should be tulip-shaped or tapered at the top.
Wine Storage Problems
Corking- a tiny percentage of bottled wine (about 1%) will suffer from this.
The cork reacts with the wine and gives it a musty, unpleasant taste. It is the
most common wine storage problem and is caused by harmless bacteria
growing on the cork. As unfortunate as this is, there is nothing to do but to
discard all of the wine in the affected bottle. This is not to be confused with
small fragments of cork oating in the wine itself, which will not impair the
avour.
Oxidisation- when wine has been opened and left for longer than a day;
it tends to lose its aroma and colour, giving an overall at taste. The only
way to avoid this, it to either drink the wine on the same day it was opened
or to use a vacuum device specially designed for removing oxygen from
opened wine bottles. If you use such a device, the wine should still be
consumed shortly afterwards.
Ullage- this is loss of wine from the bottle by evaporation or leakage. Signs
of ullage include wine seeping around the cork, a protruding cork or a
.16.
stained label. It can happen if the bottle has been allowed to get too
warm. The wine may still be drinkable, if the leakage was recent; however,
you should be aware that if the wine cools down again, contraction
can cause more air to be sucked into the bottle and result in further
deterioration.
Slight effervescence in still wine- this isn’t really a problem with the way
the wine has been stored, but as a result of incomplete malolactic
fermentation before the wine was bottled. A good way to get rid of the
effervescence is to let the wine breathe. Alternatively you can use a bottle
vacuum device, after about ve minutes the effervescence will vanish.
Sediment- this is not normally a problem, however both red and white
wines can produce sediment after a number of months in a bottle. The
sediment consists of tartrate crystals and is totally harmless. If anything the
building of sediment can be considered a good sign because it means
that the wine was not subjected to much (if any) ltering, meaning that the
avours and aromas should be preserved better.
A good way to get around sediment (if it is a problem) is to stand the
bottle upright, the day before opening, so that the sediment can settle to
the bottom of the bottle.
You can also decant your wine; decanting will “open up” the flavour of
both young and old wines, but younger wines in particular. To decant,
pour the wine slowly and evenly into your decanter.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING: PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOUR
APPLIANCE IS DISCONNECTED FROM
YOUR MAINS SUPPLY BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO CLEAN IT.
o Do not clean the appliance by pouring water onto it
or spraying water over it.

right to Remove it;
Reinstalling the Carbon Filter:
o Hold the Carbon Filter and turn it 90° to the left or
right until it clicks into place.
.19.
Defrosting
o Defrosting occurs automatically inside of the Wine Cooler during
operation. The defrost water is collected by the evaporating tray and
evaporates automatically.
o The evaporating tray and defrost water drain hole should be cleaned
periodically. This will prevent water from collecting in the bottom of the
Wine Cooler, instead of owing down the defrost drainage channel and
drain hole.
o You can also pour a small amount of water down the drain hole to clean
inside of it.
o You should be careful to make sure that wine bottles do not touch the
rear wall of the appliance, as this can interrupt the automatic defrosting
process and deect water into the base of your Wine Cooler.

IMPORTANT: Check that the door opens and shuts correctly, without fouling,
after you have completed the door reversal process.
After the door has been reversed, you should check the door seal of the
Wine Coolers. The seal should not be creased or crushed; otherwise there
will be a gap between it and the inside of the door.
o The seal must adhere properly all the way around the door.
o If the seal is not adhering to the cabinet properly, then you should either:-
.33.
a) Use a warm damp cloth and manipulate the seal until it does adhere to
the cabinet properly, all the way around the door.
or
b) Use a hair dryer on its lowest heat setting and lightly heat the areas of
the door seal that are not adhering correctly. The heat will make the
seal more pliable and this will allow you to manipulate the seal into the
correct position.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT HEAT THE DOOR SEAL ON ANYTHING BUT THE LOWEST
HEAT SETTING, OR HEAT THE SEAL FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. OTHERWISE
DAMAGE MAY BE CAUSED TO THE DOOR SEAL, WHICH WOULD NOT BE
RECTIFIED UNDER THE GUARANTEE FREE OF CHARGE.
