Before using the appliance for the first time
Wine storage tips
Natural wine cellars are the ideal place to store wine, because of the scarce light, the lack of vibrations
and having a special climate. A wine’s temperature determines its flavour, and influences enjoyment.
Wine ageing depends on the environment conditions in which the wine is stored. By maintaining
constant optimum temperature, correct air humidity, and an atmosphere free from any odours, the
wine climate cabinet provides excellent conditions for storing your wine. It also provides an
environment free from harmful vibrations that could also affect the ageing process. Since every type
of wine has an optimum ageing time and climate, we suggest checking the recommended time to
open the bottle as advised by the winemaker.
Most people who drink wine, know you serve white wine and champagne chilled, and red wine on
room temperature. What people may not know that the "room temperature" that wine professionals
are referring to, is the temperature of wine caves in the Bordeaux region of France. Those caves are
about 13°C. A good wine climate cabinet, can keep your wines at a perfect serving temperature,
reducing the guesswork and sometimes the headache.
It is very important to maintain a constant temperature within the wine climate cabinet. In case of a
power failure, open the door as little as possible to maintain the temperature in the appliance interior.
A gradual increase in temperature will not have a negative impact on the wine.
The humidity should be between 50% and 80%. Too low humidity will result in a dry cork. Too high
humidity will cause mold. The ASKO Wine Climate Cabinet provides excellent ventilation with clean
air which helps preventing damage to labels and corks during storage.
The humidity levels in wine climate cabinet are particularly important for long term wine storage and
ageing. Recommended temperature for wine ageing is between 11°C and 13°C. For that purpose,
the wine climate cabinet will maintain optimal ageing conditions and notify the user, if the conditions
deviate from them. Extremely high and low temperature settings are intended mainly for the wine
serving purposes. Wine is exposed to this conditions for shorter time periods and therefore humidity
should not have any negative effect on the wine. However, monitoring of relative humidity levels is
available regardless of the compartment temperature setting.
Major temperature changes can cause humidity levels to deviate from the desired levels and it may
take longer, e.g. about a week, for them to stabilize again. During this time, the notifications for
humidity out of zone will not appear.
Wine should be stored horizontally, especially corked wines. It will keep the cork moist and swollen
and prevent wine from unwanted contact with air. Short term storage, within some weeks, storing in
tilted position is preferred to keep the cork damp. If the position is too upward, the cork will dry out.
Screw and crown caps have less demands regarding the positioning.
The wine cabinet is fitted with an activated carbon filter which prevents odors that can pollute your
wines. The Activated Carbon filter is originally called HEGA filter (High Efficiency Gas Absorption).
It removes the gas molecules through a process of adsorption (not absorption). During adsorption,
the pollutants stick to the outside of the Activated Carbon filter.
By having your own wine climate cabinet in your house, this creates enjoyment of your wine on a
premium level like the wine came straight out of a real wine cellar.
13
Storing wine
Storing bottles
• Moving the bottles or excessive vibration can have a negative effect on the aging process and
thus on the wine’s flavour. The appliance is fitted with a special sensor that continuously measures
vibration. In case of excessive vibration, e.g. when the appliance door is slammed shut, an alarm
signal will sound and alarm key will flash on the display.
• Keep the bottles intended for daily use on the front half of the shelves. Keep the wines you intend
to store for a long time or age in the bottom part of the cabinet.
• Store the bottles horizontally, so that cork stoppers are also kept moist from within.
INFORMATION!
Mould can appear on bottle labels; this depends on the type of glue used for the label. Clean
the bottles and remove any residual glue.
INFORMATION!
White sediment can form on cork stoppers as a result of oxidation due to contact with air.
Wipe the sediment with a dry cloth. The sediment does not affect the quality of the wine.

Description of the appliance
Humidity box (separate accessory, not included)
If the appliance is installed in a dry environmet, we recommend to buy Humidity box.
The purpose of this humidity box is to increase humidity of the Wine Climate Cabinet, to prevent
humidity to drop under 50% that can appear in certain conditions (when the Wine Climate Cabinet
is placed in an environment with low humidity).
You can monitor on the appliance display if there is low humidity (a notification will be given when
humidity reaches 50% and an alarm when it reaches 40%).
You can fill the box with 0,5 liter of water and
place it in the cabinet.
HumidityBox is made of clay, a natural material
with the right characteristics to first absorb
water and then allow it to evaporate to increase
humidity.
The walls and bottom of the clay box are
glazed to prevent water leakage. Water is
absorbed by all walls, but will only evaporate
through the unglazed top surface.
The HumidityBox is made in an artisan workshop with fine craftmanship. As a result, minor irregularities
in material or shape may occur. They, however, do not have any effect on functionality.
The colour of the box changes when it is filled with water: as the walls absorb water, they become
darker. Depending on the hardness of your tap water, some white limescale stains may appear on
the material. To avoid this, you may use descaled or distilled water. The white stains can be washed
off.
After placing the HumidityBox in the correct zone, it will take approximately 9 hours to increase the
humidity back from 40% to 50%. After 9 hours, humidity will continue to slowly increase.
On average, the HumidityBox should be refilled every 30 days. The appliance will sound an alarm
when humidity gets too low (below 40%).
You can also buy additional HumidityBoxes when needed.
Please do not put the HumidityBox in the dishwasher, as this type of material is not dishwasher safe.
Because of the relatively thin walls, the box is fragile and should be handled carefully. Occasionally,
shower the inside of the box with tap water.
In case you want to monitor humidity box refill notifications, you have to change SETTINGS
MENU/SYSTEM/Humidity box notification/ from ‘OFF’ to ‘ON’.
INFORMATION!
For more informations refer to the local Asko dealer or to the Asko website of your country.

Alarms
Please refer also to chapter "Tips & Tricks" to learn more about possible reasons for each particular
alarm.
Temperature alarm
Temperature alarm sounds when the temperature in the appliance is out of range, for 3 hours
constantly. This means 3°C above or 3°C below the setpoint temperature.
The alarm key and setpoint temperature are blinking.
25
Operation
INFORMATION!
Every time the appliance is switched on again, it takes a while until the correct temperature is
reached. For this reason, the alarm is disabled for the first 6 hours after the appliance is switched
on to prevent the unnecessary activation of the alarm. Each time the door is closed, temperature
alarm is blocked for 3 hours.
Stopping the alarm:
Short press on alarm key will stop the alarm from sounding, alarm key is not illuminated anymore.
Setpoint temperature continues to blink while the temperature is still out of range. If the temperature
is within range and temperature alarm is active, it will be canceled automatically.
Humidity
Humidity can be (de)activated in SETTINGS MENU. If it is set to 'OF', then humidity is no longer
being monitored (not in the appliance and not in the mobile app). Display 'H' does not show any
value and automatically humidity alarm and humidity box refill notification are disabled.
Humidity alarm sounds when 7 days average value of compartment humidity falls below 40% or
rises above 80%, for 7 days constantly.
The alarm key is illuminated and alarm sound is heard. On press of alarm icon the alarm
is removed. Humidity value is blinking rapidly .
INFORMATION!
Every time the appliance is switched on, it takes a while until the correct humidity is reached. For
this reason, the alarm is disabled for the first 24 hours after the appliance is switched on to prevent
the unnecessary activation of the alarm. Each time the door is closed, humidity alarm is blocked
for 6 hours.
If the difference between old setpoint and new setpoint is less than 5°C, it has no influence on
humidity alarm.
If setpoint temperature is set above or equal to 16°C, humidity alarm is neglected.
Stopping the alarm:
Short press on alarm key will stop the alarm from sounding, alarm key is not illuminated anymore.
Humidity value continues to blink while the humidity is still out of range.
If humidity value reestablishes between 40% and 80% and humidity alarm is active , it will be canceled
automatically.
26
Operation
Humidity box notification
As humidity box is not included in appliance equipment, the default state of humidity box notification
is 'OF'. If you purchase it as an accessory, humidity box notification can be set to 'ON', in SETTINGS
MENU.
The appliance can notify you when humidity box needs to be refilled. Humidity box notification starts
when 7 days average value of compartment humidity is between 40% - 50% for 7 days constantly.
So you do not have to remember to check it yourself and can also help avoid triggering the humidity
alarm.
The alarm key and humidity value are blinking softly . No alarm sound is
heard.
INFORMATION!
Every time the appliance is switched on, it takes a while until the correct humidity is reached. For
this reason, the notification is disabled for the first 24 hours after the appliance is switched on to
prevent the unnecessary activation of the notification. Each time the door is closed, humidity
notification is blocked for 6 hours.
If the difference between old setpoint and new setpoint is less than 5°C, it has no influence on
humidity notification.
Stopping the notification:
Short press on alarm key will cancel humidity box notification, alarm key is not illuminated anymore
but humidity value continues to blink until value goes between 50% and 80%.
If humidity value reestablishes between 50% and 80% and humidity box notification is active, it will
be canceled automatically.
Open door alarm
Door alarm sounds and alarm key is blinking when the door is open for more than 3
minutes and there is no user interaction.
Short press on any key will stop alarm sounding and blinking of alarm key. If you do not close the
door, the alarm will switch on again after 5 minutes.
Closing the door will stop the alarm.
Power outage high temperature alarm
If the electricity power in which the appliance is plugged in fails or outages then appliance stops
cooling and temperature inside the compartment can be affected.
The power failure alarm is designed to alert after power is restored and appliance turned on that the
temperature inside the compartment is out of range. If the temperature is not out of range, power
failure alarm will not be triggered. When the appliance is in a place not frequently visited or you are
away for a long time this alarm will help you be aware after restoring the appliance that the temperature
of the bottles might have changed.
27
Operation
Alarm sounds and on displays 'T' and 'H' there is a 'PF' blinking.
Stopping the alarm:
Short press on alarm key will stop the alarm from sounding.
After that, current measured temperature and current humidity value will be shown on displays 'T'
and 'H'.
If you press on alarm key again, alarm will be canceled. Compartment setpoint temperature and
humidity level will be shown on displays 'T' and 'H'.
INFORMATION!
When Power outage high temperature alarm is canceled, Temperature alarm can be still active.
In that case, alarm behaves like Temperature alarm.
SETTINGS MENU
