(positloning, adjustment, removal)

Wine shelf

The shelves can be easily removed for cleaning. Remove the bottles, completely extract the shelf, tilt it upward until the wheels are free of their seat and extract it.

7. LIGHTING

7.1 Lighting

To provide optimum interior lighting, LED strips illuminate the refrigerator compartment from the top and sets of LED lights directly illuminate different areas of the refrigerator compartment, of the Crisper-Fresco drawers and the freezer drawer.

In case of malfunction and/or failure of the lighting system, you should contact an authorized KitchenAid Service Agent.

Once activated, the light of the top compartment will automatically shut off after 6 hours.

8.1 General directions

As is known, wine can be stored for long periods of time if this is done under the following conditions:

Suitable temperature without appreciable variations over time
Controlled level of humidity
Protection from light
Absence of noise and vibrations
Absence of odours
Bottle kept horizontal.

All of these conditions are fully met in the KitchenAid Wine Cellar.

8.2 Conservation temperature

The space offered by the Wine Cellar and Cantina compartments, which can be expanded as necessary by using the TriMode compartment as a wine cellar, allows conservation of your best wines at three different temperatures.

The three compartments are initially set to the following temperatures:

Cantina compartment
+12° C (53.6°F) - adjustable from +4°C to +18°C (from 39,2°F to 64,4°F)
Wine Cellar compartment
+10^ C ( 50^ F ) - adjustable from +4^ C to +18^ C (from 39,2^ F to 64,4^ F )

To transform the TriMode compartment into a wine cellar space, you must access the Menu, set it as a refrigerator compartment, and adjust it to a temperature between +4^ C and +8^ C (from 39.2^ F to 46.4^ F).

All the temperatures can be modified according to the characteristics of the wines and personal preferences. However, you should attempt to keep the temperature as constant as possible over time.

Rapid and large-scale temperature variations can in fact cause dilation of the liquid and early aging of the wine.

You should also avoid very low temperatures (below 4^ - 39.2^ ) which may lead to the formation of deposits and damage the aesthetic qualities of the wine.

All the compartments offer optimal conditions and take into account all these needs. It should however be noted that the Cantina compartment, in particular, is thermostatically controlled in a very precise manner and ensures the utmost care and attention over time of your most prized bottles. When the Cantina compartment is set below +10^ C (50^ F) the Wine Cellar must not be set beyond +12^ C (53.6^ F).

8.3 Time of conservation

Improvement of wine over time and its duration usually depends on the character of the variety and its type. The following chart shows the best period of conservation and aging for various types in ideal conservation conditions offered by your appliance.

However, you should always follow the instructions of the winemaker, especially for fine wines.

TYPE OF WINE CONSERVATION TEMPERATURE TIME OF CONSERVATION
New wines (Vin Nouveau) da 12° a 14°C 6 months
Sweet sparkling wines da 8° a 10° C 1 year
Rosé da 10° a 14°C 1 year
Semi-sparkling wines da 10° a 12° C 1-2 year
Normal white wines da 10° a 14°C 1-2 year
Light red wines da 12° a 14°C 2 year

8.4 Consumption temperature

As a general rule, white wines should be served at a temperature between 10 and 12^ (50 and 53.6^ ) and red wines between 12 and 14^ (53,6 and 57.2^ ).

Some wines may however be best enjoyed at higher or lower temperatures.

You should also keep in mind that, during the summer, wine is generally enjoyed at lower temperatures than during the winter.

You should also consider the following:

White wines

White wines are normally not served at high temperatures, since they are generally more acidic that red wines and not very tannic. Therefore they are more enjoyable at low temperatures.

It is preferable to serve these wines between 10^ and 14^ (50°F and 57,2°F). Young, fresh and aromatic wines can also be served at 10^ (50°F), while less aromatic ones are served at 12^ (53,6°F).

Temperatures between 12^ and 14^ (53,6°F and 57,2°F) are for soft, mature white wines that have been aged for some years in the bottle.

Higher temperatures would favour the exaltation of the sweet character of the wine, at the expense of the acidity and flavour, which are considered pleasant and desirable characteristics of this type of wine.

Rosé

Rose wine is served at the same temperature as white wines. It should be noted that these wines may include a certain amount of tannin and may therefore be preferable at higher temperatures. Therefore, they are served between 10^ and 12^ (50°F and 53.6°F), if young and fresh, and between 12^ and 14^ (53.6°F and 57.2°F) if robust and mature.

Due to the special processing they undergo, new vintage wines contain a low tannin content and are therefore more enjoyable if served between 12^ and 14^ (53,6 and 57,2^ ).

Red wines

Since they contain more tannin and are less acidic, red wines are normally served at higher temperatures.

Younger wines with less tannin are normally served between 14^ and 16^ (57,2 and 60,8^) while more full-bodied ones that are more tannic may be served at up to 18^ (64,4^) . Some wines that have aged for years in the bottle, still full-bodies and tannic, may be served at 18^ (64,4^) or even 20^ (68^) .

Young red wines with little tannin and slightly structured may be enjoyable at lower temperatures, between 12^ and 14^ (53,6 and 57,2^ ).

Sparkling wines

It is difficult to provide instructions to cover the wide variety of sparkling wines in available.

As a general rule, sweeter and more aromatic sparkling wines should be served at lower temperatures, down to 8^ (46,4^) , whereas more tannic sparkling wines may be served at higher temperatures, up to 14^ (57,2^) .

Dry sparkling wines are usually served between 8^ and 10^ (46,4 and 50^ ).

"Classic" sparkling wines are normally served at these temperatures, which may be as high as 12^ (53,6^) for sparkling wines that have been aged for some time.

It is however advisable, especially for finer wines, to follow the suggestions and recommendations of the winemaker on the bottle.

These types of wines can be served at temperatures between 16^ and 18^ (60,8 and 64,4^ ), depending on personal tastes, to attenuate the sweet taste of straw wines, it can also be served at 10^ ( 50^ ).

8.5 Position of bottles

The sliding shelves are made of fine wood and contoured so as to hold bottles of the most classical traditional shape or of the most modern design.

Whether your collection holds fine bouteilles or petit bouteilles, they will be right at home in the KitchenAid Wine Cellar. A special accessory, available on request, will let you place them in an inclined position, in order to display the labels of your most prized items.

Also Magnum bouteilles can be stored, provided you remove the shelf just above the one that will hold them.

Warning

After a prolonged interruption of electrical power, once the electrical power is reactivated, an audible signal will indicate if the temperature has raised above normal levels. In addition to this the display will show for one minute the highest temperature detected inside the compartments, to allow the user to decide how to better use the food items.

After one minute the display will resume normal operation, while the Alarm button will continue to blink.

Press the Alarm button to display the highest recorded temperatures.

9.2 Cleaning of the ventilation grille, filter and condenser.

The unit requires, for a correct operation, the cleaning of the ventilation grille, filter and condenser.

The recurring clcnaning every 6 months is reminded by an acoustic and optical signal on the dispaly. It is possible to disable the warning signal and see the time left before the next cleaning has to be done.

Behind the frontal ventilation grille situated in the lower part of the units there is the condenser. See page 7 paragraph 3.2.

To clean it use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment at maximum power, sweeping it along the vent slits. In case of a significant dust build up, the ventilation grille can be removed to allow a more accurate cleaning of the filter.

On the maintenance settings, after the installation of the unit and after it has been turned on, you can set the condenser cleaning warning.

In the case the warning sign will be enable, there will be an acoustic signal every 6 months, that tells that is time to clean the condenser.

After cleaning it, touch the reset icon in order to reactivate the warning signal in 6 months.

In the case you do not want the warning cleaning signal of the condenser anymore, touch the off icon.

For knowing how to use the maintenance display, see page 23.
