7.4 Low-temperature alarm

If the temperature has been below 2°C for more than 1 hour, the display flashes and Lo/actual

temperature are alternately shown. Wine cannot mature properly at sub-zero temperatures.

Two-zone setting for serving temperature Typical serving temperature settings for the top and bottom

sections are 16°C and 6°C respectively. With these settings, a suitable temperature gradient will be

achieved in the cabinet for the storage of various types of wine distributed from top to bottom.

It is recommended that wine be served at a temperature which is a couple of degrees lower than the

desired drinking temperature as the wine will be warmed slightly when it is poured into the glass.

Single-zone setting for long-term storage For long-term wine storage, the top and bottom sections

should both be set at 12°C. With identical settings for the top and bottom sections, the controls will

maintain an even temperature throughout the cabinet. However, the temperature in the room will

gradually affect the temperature in the cabinet through its door and sides, creating a slight temperature

gradient from top to bottom. The controls will maintain the set temperature at the bottom of the cabinet,

and any deviation from the setting will therefore occur at the top. The difference will vary from 0 to 3°C,

depending on the ambient temperature.

7.5 Storage Temperatures

As you will certainly already know, to enjoy the flavour and bouquet of each wine at its best, it should be
