Equipment - Figure 16
Pull-out grid shelves
The pull-out grid shelf allows
bottles of wine to be removed
more easily.
Tall wine bottles can also be stored crossways in the
appliance (Figure 19).
To ensure stable storage of the
bottles, click the retaining
plates provided onto
the middle slat
of the wooden
shelf.
Storage diagram - Figure 18
(for 750 ml Bordeaux bottles)
Total: 18 bottles
Storing Wine
If you are storing wine for long periods of time, it should
be stored at a temperature of between 50°F and 57°F.
This is the temperature wine cellars are kept at, and it is
just right to allow wine to mature properly.
The following drinking temperatures are recommended
for the various types of wine.
Red wines: 57°F to 64°F
Rosé wines: 50°F to 54°F
White wines: 46°F to 54°F
Sparkling wines, Prosecco: 45°F to 48°F
Champagne: 41°F to 45°F

Air Exchange with Activated Charcoal Filter
- Figure 17
The way in which wines continue to mature depends on
the ambient conditions. The quality of the air is there-
fore decisive for preserving the wine. Your Liebherr wine
cooler is equipped with an activated charcoal filter in the
interior rear wall.
We recommend you replace the filters at least once a
year. Filters can be obtained from your Liebherr Dealer
or Distributor.
Removing the filter: Hold the filter by the handle. Turn it
90° to the left or right and remove.
Reinstalling the filter: Insert with the handle in a verti-
cal position. Turn it 90° to the left or right until it clicks
into place.

Defrosting
The wine cooler compartment defrosts automatically.
The water that forms on the rear wall drains into a res-
ervoir at the back of the appliance and evaporates auto-
matically through the compressor heat.
