INTERNAL CELLAR TEMPERATURES - ILLUSTRATION
TEMPERATURE INDICATOR
The electronic temperature displays the average temperature(s) in the cabinet. As previously illustrated, the
compressor's operating cycles do not interfere with the constant average temperature of the wine in the bottles.
If you place your own thermometer inside the appliance, it may not display the same value indicated on the display.
The electronic regulation system automatically calculates average wine temperature using a temperature/ time based
algorithmic calculation.
The liquid's inertia compared to air is based on a factor of 1 to 10 and your wine cellar itself will correct for it (a
variation outside the bottle of more than 34
o F (2°C) is evidenced by a variation of only 32.18 o F (0.2°C) in the bottle's
contents).
If a significant temperature difference is noticed between the set temperature and the displayed temperature, please
be aware that having the door open for a prolonged period can affect the internal air temperature, until corrected by
the cellar over the next cycles(s).
RELATIVE HUMIDITY
Your Climadiff wine cellar automatically controls the relative humidity in the cabinet. The combination of the
circulation of filtered ambient air loaded with humidity in the cabinet, the phenomenon of condensation linked to the
cabinet's operation, and the surface area of the inner steel walls coated with a paint of large particle size offers your
wines the ideal ambient conditions.
Average internal humidity is 60% (±10%). This is the average relative humidity range recommended to keep the cork
of your bottles sufficiently moist to maintain the flexibility and elasticity required to keep it hermetic to liquids, while
still letting your wine breathe. Humidity levels are normally automatic and self- maintaining. Under exceptionally dry
ambient conditions, there may be a drop in humidity below 40%. In this case units with a display will show the “add-
water” symbol. To do this, simply add water to the “condensate reservoir” in the bottom (of some models -
NOTE:
Water will freely flow out the drainage hole to an open evaporation tray in the back of the unit, which will
flood if overfilled!)
In units not equipped with a reservoir, you can place a wet sand bin in the device or else a bowl of pure water (or tap
water provided it does not have a strong smell). In other units, lava rocks are provided to control and moderate
internal humidity – simply keep them moist and positioned in the bottom rear of the unit.
Central part, ideal for
preservation.
