• Avoid strong and frequent variations in temperature.
• Ensure that there is enough space between the bottles to promote the circulation of air inside the appliance.
• The appliance's interior temperatures can increase and lead to increased energy consumption
• if the glass door is opened frequently or for a prolonged period.
• if the temperature falls below or exceeds the prescribed interior temperature.
• if a large number of bottles is put into storage at once.
• if the appliance's nominal capacity is exceeded.

Storage period

The storage periods of wines differs and is dependent on many factors. Use the following storage periods as a general guideline:

Wine Storage period
Rosé wine, light red wine	1 to 2 years
White wine 3 to 5 years
Red wine approx. 6 years
Very sweet wines +15 years

Additional factors

• Make sure to move the wine as little as possible during storage. Frequently moving the wine around can lead to rapid ageing.
