Question 1

The wine cellar displays 27 degrees and is no longer cooling - what to do?

Accepted Answer

If your LS28SILENCE wine cellar displays 27°C and is no longer cooling, here are the checks to perform:

Check the installation conditions

The recommended ambient temperature range is 5 to 35°C. If your cellar is installed outside this range, it cannot operate correctly.
Ensure that the cellar is positioned away from any direct heat source (radiator, stove, sunlight).

Check the air circulation

Check that the internal fan is not blocked by limescale, dust, or deposits.
Clean the air filters if the appliance has them. A blockage prevents the thermoelectric system from functioning.
Ensure that the back and sides of the cellar have sufficient space (at least 10 cm) for air circulation.

Check the compressor operation

Listen to see if the compressor is running regularly (a small cycle noise). Complete silence or continuous running indicates a malfunction.
Check that the power cable is properly plugged in and that the outlet works (try another device if necessary).

Question 2

How to adjust and maintain the humidity level in a LA SOMMELIERE LS48B wine cellar?

Accepted Answer

The LA SOMMELIERE LS48B wine cellar does not have a built-in system to directly adjust the humidity level. However, it is possible to maintain an optimal humidity level between 50% and 80% relative humidity, which is essential for the proper preservation of your bottles. Thanks to its air-cooled system and its 4 beech wood shelves, the cellar naturally creates a favorable microenvironment that helps stabilize humidity.

To increase humidity if it is too low: Simply place a small container filled with water at the base of the cellar, between two bottles or under a shelf. The water will slowly evaporate and naturally increase the ambient humidity level inside. You can also use hygroscopic stones or clay balls that absorb and gradually release moisture to help maintain a constant balance.

To reduce humidity if it is too high: Ensure that the minimum 50 mm space between the back of the cellar and the wall is clear, as this space is crucial for air circulation. Avoid overloading the shelves to allow for good air circulation inside. Additionally, never install the LS48B in a humid place: it does not have specific protection against excessive humidity and works best in a dry environment with moderate room temperature (16°C to 32°C).

To monitor humidity: Place a hygrometer (humidity measuring device) inside the cellar to regularly check the level. Also, check that the defrost water collection tray is not full, as a saturated tray can create stagnant humidity inside. Clean it regularly to avoid problems.

In summary, although the LS48B does not allow for direct humidity adjustment, these simple methods will help you maintain an optimal environment between 50% and 80% relative humidity for the preservation of your serving wines.

Question 3

What is the recommended temperature and humidity level for storing white wine in the LA SOMMELIERE LS48B wine cellar?

Accepted Answer

For optimal storage of white wine in your LA SOMMELIERE LS48B wine cellar, it is important to adhere to certain temperature and humidity conditions:

Recommended Temperature

White wine is ideally stored at a temperature between 8°C and 12°C. This range helps preserve its delicate aromas and freshness while avoiding premature aging.

Recommended Humidity Level

A humidity level of around 60% to 70% is advised. This humidity level helps maintain the integrity of the corks by preventing them from drying out, which could compromise the seal and quality of the wine.

By adhering to these parameters in your LS48B wine cellar, you ensure optimal storage of your white wine bottles.

Question 4

Can champagne be stored in the LA SOMMELIERE LS48B wine cellar?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the LA SOMMELIERE LS48B wine cellar is perfectly suited for storing champagne. This single-zone cellar is designed exclusively for wine preservation and offers all the necessary elements to maintain the quality of champagne.

Ideal temperature: The LS48B allows you to precisely set the temperature between 5°C and 18°C via its digital electronic thermostat. For champagne, set it between 8 and 12°C, which ensures optimal preservation without altering the aromas and the finesse of the bubbles in the bottle.

Bottle position: Store all your champagne bottles in a horizontal position (lying down). This position keeps the wine in contact with the cork, preventing it from drying out and preserving the bottle's seal. This is an essential condition for quality long-term storage.

Optimal storage conditions: The LS48B cellar offers several essential advantages for champagne: an integrated anti-vibration system that protects the wine from any disturbance, a glass door with UV filter to prevent aroma degradation from light, and forced air cooling that ensures a uniform temperature in the cellar. These three elements are crucial for maintaining the quality of champagne.

Capacity and organization: With a capacity of 48 bottles spread over 4 beech wood shelves, the LS48B cellar provides ample space to store your champagnes. The shelves are removable and allow you to adapt the space according to your needs and types of bottles.

Maintenance: Clean your cellar every two months with a damp cloth to maintain optimal hygiene conditions. Check that the door seal remains clean and airtight, as this ensures the constant maintenance of the temperature of 8-12°C and the preservation of the quality of the stored champagne.

Question 6

What should I do if the touchscreen of the LA SOMMELIERE LS28 wine cellar is not working?

Accepted Answer

If the touchscreen control panel of your LA SOMMELIERE LS28 wine cellar is unresponsive, here are the checks and steps to follow to resolve the issue:

Check that the panel is not locked - Your wine cellar is equipped with a security system that automatically locks the control panel after 12 seconds of inactivity. This is usually the first cause. To unlock it, press both temperature control arrows simultaneously for 3 seconds. You will hear a beep confirming that the panel is unlocked and responsive.

Check the power supply - Ensure that the cellar is properly plugged into a 220-240V 50Hz outlet and that your home's circuit breaker has not tripped. A power failure will completely prevent the panel from functioning. Also, check that the power cord is not damaged.

Perform a complete restart - Turn off the cellar by unplugging it from the electrical outlet. Wait at least 5 to 10 minutes before plugging it back in. This restart resets the electronic system and may resolve temporary malfunctions of the touchscreen. After plugging it back in, wait 2 to 3 hours before filling the unit.

Gently clean the panel - It is possible that a buildup of dust, moisture, or residue is preventing touch recognition. Use a soft, slightly damp cloth (not soaked) to clean the surface of the panel. Then wipe it with a dry cloth. Avoid abrasive products, excessive water, or harsh detergents that could damage the touch circuits.

Check the settings if the panel responds partially - If some buttons work but others do not, ensure that no button has been accidentally disabled. It is also possible that demo mode is activated. Try the complete unlocking of the panel as described above.

If after these checks the touchscreen remains completely inactive, it is likely an electronic failure of the control panel. In this case, contact LA SOMMELIERE customer service mentioning model LS28. They can guide you for further troubleshooting or offer a replacement of the defective panel under warranty.
