Storing Wine
CAUTION
• Do not overfill or pack items too tightly onto
storage racks. Doing so may cause damage to
the rack or personal injury if items are removed
with excessive force.
NOTE
• If you are leaving home for a short period, like a
short vacation, the refrigerator should be left on.
• If you are leaving the refrigerator turned off for an
extended period, remove all wine bottles and turn
off the power. Clean the interior, and leave the door
open to prevent fungi from growing in the
refrigerator.
• If the refrigerator is kept in a hot and humid place,
frequent opening of the door may cause
condensation to form. Wipe off the condensation
with a clean cloth or a paper towel.
• If the refrigerator door is opened or closed too often,
warm air may penetrate the refrigerator and raise its
temperature. This can increase the running costs of
the unit and shorten the storage life of wines.
• Do not install the wine cooler near heat sources or
where it will be exposed to direct sunlight.
Storage Temperature
• In general, all wine should be stored at a
temperature range of 53 °-57 °F (12 °-14 °C). For
this reason, the default temperature setting for all
zones is 55 °F (13 °C). If planning to store wines for
longer than 6 months, set the zone’s temperature
within this range and leave it.
Serving Temperature
If you plan to serve a wine within a few weeks, you
may want to set one zone to store the wine at its
recommended serving temperature. This does not
preserve the quality of the wine as well long-term, but
allows you to serve the wine without having to chill it
or let it stand to bring it to the correct serving
temperature. Serve wines kept at serving temperature
within a few months. Check the label or consult a
guide for the recommended serving temperature for
specific wines.
