Dual-Zone Wine Cellar
The right environment for your wines...
A vine is an extremely sensitive plant. Grape quality is
dependent on three factors: light, air humidity and ambient
temperature. This sensitivity continues even after the wine is
bottled. To allow a wine's flavor to fully develop and to
preserve the excellent aroma, it has to be properly stored.
Your wine cellar offers the best storage environment.

Setting the Temperature
The temperature of both zones can be set between 41°F and
68°F (5°C and 20°C). The lower temperature zone is ideal for
storing white and red wine at a setting of 55° F to 68° F (13°C to
20°C). The upper temperature zone is suitable for storing
champagne and white wine at a setting of 41 ° F to 55° F (5°C to
13°C).
IMPORTANT: The unit is designed so that the temperature set
for the LOWER temperature zone will always be just as high or
higher than that in the UPPER temperature zone. For optimal
performance, the set temperature of the two zones should differ
by at least 8° F (4°C).
