Tips on Setting up your
Wine Cooler
oDo not place the wine cooler under direct sunlight, or in a hot (i.e. - above
25°C) area or in a humid place (frost will form). Likewise, keep it out of
an area that will get very cold as very cold conditions will prevent your
Wine Cooler from keeping your wine at the temperature you want.
~
oMake sure your wine cooler is resting on a flat surface so that there is no
risk of bottles being able to tip forward. Note that your Wine Cooler has
adjustable feet so you can adapt your Wine Cooler to your floor surface.
Turning the feet clockwise will raise the height of the unit. Turning them
anticlockwise will lower the height.
~
oRemove all exterior and interior packaging, including protective foam on
the door panels. Remember that children are particularly vulnerable to
packaging materials and old appliances – discard materials with this in
mind.
~
oCheck to be sure the following parts are included:
96 slide out shelves
91 wine rack
91 instruction manual
~
oYour Wine Cooler needs space around it to function properly. Because it
operates using a compressor, it is very important that you give it at least 5
inches (12.7cm) between the back and any surface behind it as well as
between the sides and any surfaces around them. This is necessary so that
your Wine Cooler has adequate space for ventilation so that it won’t
overheat and present a fire hazard.
~
oBefore connecting the appliance to the power source, let it stand upright
for approximately 2 hours. This will reduce the chances of a malfunction
in the cooling system from handling during transportation.
~
oYou can replace the shelves with wooden ones (BW29KIT), if desired. This is
available as an optional extra.
~
oYou can reverse the swing of your Wine Cooler’s door. See page 19 for
instructions on how to do this.

Using your Wine Cooler:
~
1) Connecting
First, connect the power.
Find a suitable power outlet and make sure
that your voltage is the same as what is
shown on your Wine Cooler’s rating label.
The Control Panel:
2) How to use the Buttons on the Control Panel:
You can set the temperature you want your wine cooler to
cool to by pushing the button or the button.
By pushing both buttons together for the first time, the LED
display will show the original preset temperature (the
temperature preset at the factory is about 12°C).
You can select the temperature to be displayed either in °C or °F
by pushing the button marked °F /°C. If you choose
temperatures to read in Fahrenheit, the reading will appear in a
red colour in the display marked ‘°F’. If you choose temperatures
to read in Celsius, the reading will appear in a yellow colour in
the display marked ‘°C’.
You can turn the Interior Light ON or OFF by pushing the button
marked with the light bulb symbol.
You can now set the temperature you want your Wine Cooler to
cool to (the target temperature).
Pressing the button once will bring the target temperature up
by 1°C or 1°F.
If you push the button once, it will take the target
temperature down by 1°C of 1°F.

Your Baumatic BWE40 Wine Cooler

~
Note:
•When you store mostly
red wines, the
temperature which you
control by pushing the
&buttons needs to
be set at 16°C or more.
The lamp beside ‘RED’
will light up in red.
•When you store mostly
white wines, the
temperature needs to be
set at between 10 and
15°C so that the lamp
beside ‘WHITE’ lights up
in green.
•When you store mostly
sparkling wine, the
temperature needs to be
set at 7°C so that the
lamp beside ‘SPARKLING’
lights up in amber.
•See p.9 for the table on
ideal storage
temperatures for
different types of wine.
~
3) Cooling Speed.
When you
use your Wine Cooler for
the first time or restart it
after a long ‘off’ period,
there could be a few
degrees’ variance between
the temperature you select
and the one indicated on
the LED readout. This is
normal and it is due to the
length of time it had been
‘ON’ or ‘OFF’ for. The
warmer your Wine Cooler
is when you start it, the
longer it will take to cool
to the temperature you
have set for it.
Once your Wine Cooler
is running for a few
hours, everything will
be back to normal.
Note that there is a 4-6°C
variance between the top and
bottom shelves of your Wine
Cooler. If you have set your
Wine Cooler to an appropriate
temperature for red wine only,
the temperature will read 16°C.
If you then want to put a
mixture of white and red wines
in your Wine Cooler, you should
place the bottles of white on the
bottom shelves and the red
wines on the top shelves.

Your Baumatic BWE40 Wine Cooler

~
4) Shelves and rack:
Your Wine Cooler’s
shelving is chrome plated.
To hold different sized
bottles, these can be moved
up or down by sliding them
out of the tracks they rest
on. Be mindful of the seals
as you move the shelves
past them. The shelves are
designed to accommodate a
maximum number of 40
bottles.
There is an
additional wine
rack at the
bottom of your
Wine Cooler where
you can store up
to 6 wine bottles.
This rack is
removable so you
can clean it as needed.
~
5) Remember the
character of your wine
choice:
If you have a
mixture of
wines in
your cooler,
it’s good to
keep your
red wines on
the higher
racks,
sparkling
wines and
champagne
on the lower
racks.
~
6) Beware of bottle sizes.
Please be mindful of larger
bottles like Magnums (1.5
litre bottles) when loading
your Wine Cooler. Even
larger bottles (eg. Double-
Magnums and Jeroboams)
will not fit. Always check
that you can close the door
before shutting it.
~
7) When loading many
bottles at the same
time …
It will take longer for
each bottle to cool as
there is more heat in
them for your Wine
Cooler to remove.
Please be patient if
you multi-load warmer
bottles.

Your Baumatic BWE40 Wine Cooler

Storing your
Wines
Once your Wine Cooler
has cooled to the
temperature you want
(see the LED display),
you will be ready to
cool or store your
wines.
Please see the following chart for
the ideal storage temperatures for
different types of wines:
Red wines (*) : 15.5-18.5°C (59.9- 65.3°F)
Dry / White wines (§) : 10-15°C (50- 59°F)
Sparkling Wines / Champagne: 7.2-9.5°C (45- 49.1°F)
Rosé Wines: 9.5-10.5°C (49.1- 50.9°F)
Vintage Wines (i.e., older year on label): 13°C (55°F)
* Light reds (most Beaujolais, Pinot Noir, and Cabernet Franc from the Loire Valley)
benefit from being served slightly cooler than full-bodied reds.
§ Chardonnay is often served too cold. Chill it at the higher temperature limit if you
can or keep it at the top of your Wine Cooler. You can always allow it some time to
warm slightly when you take a bottle from your Wine Cooler.
Remember that temperature stability is the most important
element in storing wine.
After a bottle has been opened, the wine comes into contact with
air. So it’s best to then store the remainder of the bottle upright to
minimise the surface area of wine coming into contact with the air.
Once opened, wine will remain good for up to two days (for delicate
whites) or three days (for rich reds) as long as the bottle has been
resealed. Make sure the seal is firm by checking the stopper.

Your Baumatic BWE40 Wine Cooler
10
Special stoppers that keep wine sparkling and Champagne bubbling
for one or two days after opening can be bought at most good wine
shops.
When stored correctly, white wines can keep well for up to two
years. Full-bodied reds will age well for 10 years, and dessert wines
will age well for up to 20 years (see p.14). When you buy a bottle of
wine, transfer it to a suitable storage place immediately (if you
aren’t going to put it in your Wine Cooler). Cheaper wines will not
age as well as more expensive ones.
Vintage
Wines
Vintage and older wines need special attention both in
storage and in serving. These generally tend to be robust
reds – the better Bordeaux, Burgundy and Rhônes from France
and their New World counterparts (Cabernet Sauvignon,
Merlot, Pinot Noir and Syrah); deep Italian reds; and the
strong, rich dessert wines like Port, Sauternes as well as the
fine late-harvest Rieslings from Germany.
Sturdier red wines can be kept quite well for about 10
years at a cool room temperature (as long as the temperature
is kept as close to 70°F/21°C as possible). Note that the worst
that can happen to sealed old wine if it hasn’t kept well is
that it will taste flat and dull.
When serving, bear in mind that older wines become
fragile with age and may give up their spirit very quickly after
the cork has been pulled. You should be careful if you are
going to let older wine breathe or decant.
Very old wines can be loosely re-corked if it is going to
be some time before they are to be served.
You may want to consult a vintage chart to understand
your wine better. Vintage charts grade regions and years,
allowing you to have some idea of what to expect should you
open a vintage bottle.

Getting the most out of your
Baumatic Wine Cooler.
oDo not place any electrical appliance on top of your
Wine Cooler.
~
oDon’t try to force the chrome shelves from your Wine
Cooler. You can keep the interior clean without having
to remove the shelves. If you do remove the shelves,
always pull them gently, watching for obstructions.
~
oNever close the door forcefully: apart from risking
breakage to the door window, the performance of the
hinge may suffer. Never use oil to lubricate the hinge as
oil may seep down and attack the rubber in the door
seal.
~
oPower Failures: Most power failures are corrected within
a few hours and shouldn’t affect the temperature in your
Wine Cooler as long as you don’t open the door too
much. If the power is going to be off for a longer time,
you should be careful that you don’t expose your bottles
to a dramatic warming, condensation or possible mould
growth.
~
oIf you have to move your Wine Cooler:
¾Remove all bottles from inside it.
¾Tape down all loose items inside your Wine Cooler
securely.
¾Turn the levelling screws up the base to avoid damage.
¾Tape the doors shut.
¾Be sure the Wine Cooler stays upright during
transportation.

Your Baumatic BWE40 Wine Cooler

Cleaning and caring
for your Wine Cooler
~
oUnplug the power source before cleaning your Wine Cooler.
~
oMake sure that no grease or oil comes into contact with the door
seals as this could make them porous over time and subject to
cracking.
~
oWash the inside with a solution of warm water and baking soda.
This solution should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a
quart (946ml) of water.
oWash the shelves and trays with a mild detergent solution.
oThe outside of your Wine Cooler should be cleaned with mild
detergent and warm water.
oFrom time to time, you may have to wipe the bottom part of the
storage area, as your Wine Cooler is designed to retain
humidity, and condensation may collect there.
~
oNever let the door seals get dirty or become pitted with dirt.
Apart from posing a health risk, a dirty seal could let cold air
escape from your wine cooler, thus making it less energy
efficient.
~
oIf you are going to be away for an extended period, unplug your
Wine Cooler and:
¾Remove bottles
¾Clean your Wine Cooler thoroughly
¾Leave the door open to prevent moisture from
causing odours and mould
oTo replace your Wine Cooler’s light bulb, firstly unplug your Wine
Cooler or disconnect the power it feeds from at the mains.
Failure to do this could result in electric shock. The light bulb
should not be more than 10 watts.

Things to keep in mind about Wine before you put it
in your Baumatic Wine Cooler
Wine is alive and temperature is the most important factor
when storing it. Left exposed to light, vibrations, or fluctuations in
temperature and humidity, all wines can spoil. When properly
stored, wines not only maintain their quality, but many will actually
improve in aroma, flavour and complexity as they mature. Wines
kept at higher temperatures will age faster but temperatures
greater than 70°F (21°C) will damage a wine’s flavour and aroma.
Too low a storage temperature (such as is found in a refrigerator) can
result in the development of harmful deposits. A humidity of
around 70% is ideal for keeping corks from shrinking.
Bearing this in mind, you should know your wine’s storage
history before storing it in your Wine Cooler. Ideally, you will have
either just bought it, or you will have kept it in a cool, dark place
with the bottle having rested on its side (except in the case of all
fortified wines, excluding port). Also make sure that your wine’s old
storage area was not subjected to heavy or constant vibrations (eg.,
being next to a busy road) and strong smells, as these can impair the
flavour of all wines. If your old storage area was very dry, the wine
may have leaked through a split cork. Also, make sure that your old
storage area had never dropped below 0°C.
Remember to make sure that you keep your Wine Cooler in a
place where it will not receive much sunlight. Ultraviolet light can
penetrate even the darkest bottles and spoil wine.
Please note that you should not use your Wine Cooler as a
substitute for a cellar, as its humidity is not suitable for the long
term storage of corked bottles.
•The best temperature to set your Wine
Cooler at is 10-12 °C for white and red wines.
Note that white wine is particularly sensitive
to temperature when storing.
Never forget that all wine is alive. Although thankfully rare,
there are several problems with any kind of wine storage that should
be understood before you get to placing bottles in your Wine Cooler
(see below & next page):
Corking – a tiny percentage (about 1%) of bottled wine will experience
this: essentially, the cork reacts with the wine and gives it a musty,
unpleasant taste. It is the most common wine fault and is caused by

Your Baumatic BWE40 Wine Cooler
15
harmless bacteria growing on the cork. As unfortunate as this is, there is
nothing to do but to discard all the wine in the affected bottle.
This is not to be confused with small fragments of cork floating in the wine
itself, which will not impair the flavour.
Oxidation – when wine has been opened and left for longer than a day, it
tends to lose its aroma and colour, giving an overall flat taste. The only
way to avoid this is to drink the wine on the same day it was opened or
use a vacuum device specially designed for wine bottles and drink it
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 stained label. It can happen if the bottle was allowed to get too warm.
The wine may still be drinkable if the leakage was recent; however, please
be aware that if the wine cools down again, contracting, air can be sucked
back into the bottle to cause further deterioration.
Very Slight Effervescence in Still Wine – this isn’t really a fault but is a result
of slightly incomplete
malolactic fermentation from when the wine was bottled.
A good way to make this disappear is to let the wine
breathe, but if needs be, you can always use a bottle
vacuum device (such as Vacu-Vin). Five minutes or so with one of these
installed will make the effervescence vanish.
Sediment – this is normally not a problem at all. Both red and white wines can
throw a sediment after a number of months in a bottle. These are tartrate
crystals – totally harmless. These can actually be considered to be a good sign
in that they mean that the wine was not subjected to much (if any) filtering,
thus preserving the flavours and aromas better.
A good way to get round 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. If you have a crystal decanter, this can
be especially appealing on the table.
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.
To make the most of the bouquet and taste of your wine, never fill more
than half a glass at a time. It may also help if you have the appropriate shape
of glass for your wine. The size and shape of your glass’s bowl determine the
intensity and complexity of the bouquet. The stem should be long enough to
avoid hand contact with the bowl and should be tulip-shaped or tapered at the
top.
