Lift the shelf up, rotate the shelf support up and lock shelf into place with legs (see illustration below). Wine Storage Guidelines Wines that are stored for a long period of time should be stored at a stable temperature in a dark, vibration free environment. Wines stored for a short term (six months) can be stored at 55°F (13°C), or they can be stored at temperatures optimal for serving. The chart on the next page provides recommended serving temperatures for different types of wines. • The ambient temperature of the room you locate your wine cellar in could affect the temperature in your wine cellar if the room temperature is lower than the wine cellar compartment setting. The wine cellar is designed to cool, not heat the stored wines. Temperatures inside the wine cellar cannot be higher than room temperatures outside of the wine cellar. The wine cellar is designed to perform at room temperatures of 70°F (21°C) and above. • In certain conditions, the temperature of the middle zone can vary up to 5°F (2.8°C) from your selected temperature setting. Optimal Wine Serving Temperatures Red wines are generally served from cool to room temperatures (55°F - 65°F [13°C - 18°C]). White wines are served at cellar temperatures (50°F - 55°F [10°C - 13°C]), and sparkling wines are served at the coolest temperatures (45°F - 50°F [7°C - 10°C]).
