on the right side of temperature value “c” character appears.
When preset temperature (e.g. 5°C) is not reached yet, the
character “c” is displayed in the top and on the right side of
temperature value.
By pressing two buttons and simultaneously for 5 seconds it is possible to
switch between °C and °F.
With use of buttons and it is possible to adjust temperature every 1°C.
Button is used for turning on and off the internal
light; LED lamp is installed under the ceiling of a
given chamber.
Temperature in the device depends on environment, number of stored bottles, and
preset temperature.
Moreover the device is equipped with heating, so in case of lower ambient
temperatures it may maintain wine temperature at desired level.
