Wine will continue to mature depending on the surrounding conditions. The length of time which wine can be kept in good condition will therefore depend not only on the temperature but also on the air quality.

Optimum temperature and air quality Temperatures can be independently set in all three zones. The unit comes factory pre-set for white wine, red wine, and wine storage. The temperatures can be changed as desired. ^ Select the temperature zone you would like to change the temperature Use the X and Y buttons next to the temperature display to set the...
Insulation panels for thermal separation The unit has two fixed insulation panels, to divide the interior into the three different temperature zones. This allows you to store three different types of wine, such as red wine, white wine and champagne. The correct serving temperature is crucial for the taste and therefore your enjoyment of the wine.

Optimum temperature and air quality Temperature unit (Fahrenheit/Celsius) The temperature can be displayed in degrees Fahrenheit (°F) or Celsius (°C). ^ Touch the access button "p" so it turns yellow. ^ Touch the sensor button for any temperature zone, so that it turns yellow.
Humidity In a conventional refrigerator, the humidity levels are too low for storing wines. High humidity levels (60 - 70 %) are very important for the storage of wine, so that the corks remain moist. Under low humidity, the corks dry out from the outside and can no longer seal the bottles properly.
Page 20
Optimum temperature and air quality ^ While holding down the X button, press the access button "p" once. Keep holding the X button down until the following appears in the display (approx. 5 seconds). ^ Tap the X button until 0 appears in the display.
Storage tips – Always unpack bottles – do not store wine in crates or boxes. – Always lay bottles on their side for storage. This keeps the corks moist from the inside, preventing air from entering. – Store similar wine varieties beside each other on the same shelf, to avoid restacking and the need to disturbed other bottles.
The bottles can now be stored on the wooden rack in the usual manner. Additional display racks are available from Miele. The display rack can only be attached to wooden racks with wide cross-ties. In the upper temperature zone, these are found in the lower position.
Display lighting The display lighting can be turned on if you wish the bottles to be lit up even when the door is closed. Turning on ^ Touch the access button "p" so it turns yellow. ^ Touch the "Display light" sensor button so that it turns yellow.
Defrosting During normal operation, condensate and frost can form on the rear wall of the refrigerator and drawers. You do not need to remove this build-up, it will defrost and evaporate automatically with the heat generated by the appliance.
Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned using a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner (available from Miele). Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this appliance. Pressurized steam could penetrate electrical components and cause a short circuit.
