Service and Preservation Temperature
It is recommended you install the wine cellar in a place where the ambient temperature is between 19ºC-24ºC (66ºF-
75ºF). If the ambient temperature is above or below recommended temperatures, the performance of the unit may be
affected. For example, placing your unit in extreme cold or hot conditions may cause interior temperatures to fluctuate.
The range of 5ºC-18ºC (40ºF-65ºF) may not be reached.

Temperature Settings
IMPORTANT: The LED displays by default the actual internal air temperature.
The temperature settings are pre-set at the factory. In the event of a power interruption, all previous temperature settings
are automatically erased and it will revert to the pre-set temperature settings. The electrical board of all models comes
with memory function.
It is important to understand that there is a difference between the air temperature inside the wine cellar and the actual
temperature of the wine: You will need to wait approximately 12 hours before noticing the effects of temperature
adjustment due to the critical mass within a full wine cellar.
Once the temperature is set, it is strongly advised not to play with it or adjust frequently. The thermostat will maintain
the temperature inside the wine cellar within a +/- 2.5ºC range. But the thermal inertia of the wine and the glass is such
that within this temperature range, the actual temperature of the wine will only fluctuate from 0.5ºC to 1ºC.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING TEMPERATURE
Your Cavavin wine cellar has been designed to guarantee optimum conditions for storing and/or serving your wines.
Fine wines require long and gentle developments and need specific conditions in which to reach their full potential.
All wines mature at the same temperature, which is a constant temperature set between 12ºC to 14ºC. Only the
temperature of “degustation” (wine appreciation) varies according to the type of wines (see “Wine Serving Temperature
Chart” above). This being said and as it is for natural cellars used by wine producers for long period of storage, it is not
the exact temperature that is important, but its consistency. In other words, as long as the temperature of your wine
cellar is constant (between 12ºC to 14ºC) your wines will be stored in perfect conditions.
Not all wines will improve over the years. Some should be consumed at an early stage (2 to 3 years) while others have
tremendous ageing capability (50 and over). All wines have a peak in maturity. Do check with your wine merchant to
get the relevant information.
