Standard bottle Storage example with 34standard bottles 10.2 Tips for storing wine Note the following tips for storing wine. ¡ Do not store the wine bottles in crates or boxes in the appliance. The open bottle trays allow contin- uous air circulation. As a result, ex- cess humidity is quickly removed. ¡ Before you enjoy your wine, you should slowly warm it to room tem- perature. Take rosé out of the ap- pliance 2 to 5 hours before con- suming, and take red wine out of the appliance 4 to 5 hours before consuming. Serve white wine im- mediately after taking it out of the appliance. Sparkling wine and champagne should be chilled in the refrigerator for a short while before drinking. ¡ Always store wine a little cooler than its ideal serving temperature, as the wine warms up as soon as it is poured into the glass. 10.3 Drinking temperatures The correct serving temperature is crucial for the taste of the wine. Type of wine Drinking temperature Full-bodied red Bor- deaux 18°C Côtes du Rhône red, Barolo 17°C Full-bodied red Bur- gundy, red Bordeaux 16°C Port 15°C Young red Burgundy 14°C Young red wines 12°C Young Beaujolais, all white wines with little residual sugar 11°C Old white wines, full- bodied Chardonnay 10°C Sherry 9°C Young white wines, from late vintage on- ward 8°C Loire, Entre-deux- Mers white wines 7°Cen-us Defrosting

Defrosting 11 Defrosting Defrosting 11.1 Defrosting in the wine storage compartment When the appliance is operating, condensation droplets or frost form on the rear panel of the wine storage compartment due to functional rea- sons. The back panel in the wine storage compartment defrosts auto- matically. The condensation drains into the drainage hole via the condensation channel. To ensure that the condensation can drain and odors do not form, observe the following information:

• "Cleaning the condensation chan- nel and drainage hole", Page19.
