Using your Baumatic wine cooler

Before switching on o Make sure that it has been installed by a suitably qualified person, as per the information contained in Baumatic’s installation instructions. o After delivery, wait for eight hours before connecting the appliance to your mains supply. This will allow any refrigerant gasses that may have been disturbed during the transportation process to settle. o The outside of the appliance and the removable accessories contained within it, should be cleaned with a solution of liquid detergent and water. o The interior of the appliance should be cleaned with a solution of sodium bicarbonate dissolved in lukewarm water. The interior and accessories should be thoroughly dried, after the cleaning process has been completed. o There can be an odour when you first switch on the appliance. It will lessen as the appliance starts to cool.

During first use o When you first switch on the appliance, the compressor will run continuously until the wine cooler reaches a cool enough temperature. o During this period of time, you should try not to open the door frequently or place bottles inside of the appliance. o If the unit is switched off or unplugged, you must allow at least 5 minutes before restarting the appliance or reconnecting it to your mains supply.

10

Switching on the appliance and setting the temperature o After following the installation instructions contained in this booklet, connect the appliance to your mains supply. o The appliance will be preset to a temperature of 13 °C. o To adjust the operating temperature, press the temperature setting button (2). Use the temperature increase and decrease button (6) to set the temperature that you require. Each press of these buttons will adjust the temperature on the temperature display (5) by one degree. o When the temperature that you require appears on the temperature display, you should stop pressing the temperature increase and decrease button. Press the temperature setting button again to confirm the operating temperature. o Cool air falls and warmer air rises, so there will be a slight temperature variation between the top of the cabinet and the bottom of the cabinet. o The temperature sensor is located at the bottom of the appliance and will record the temperature being maintained in this part of the appliance. The temperature at the top of the wine cooler will be slightly warmer. o If there is a power cut, when the power is restored, the appliance will remember the most recent temperature setting automatically.

11

Loading the wine cooler o IMPORTANT: Your appliance is ideally suited to store

0.75 litre wine bottles. o Always check that you can close the door without it fouling on a wine bottle, before shutting it. o When loading several bottles of wine at once, it will take longer for the appliance to cool the individual bottles.

Storing your wines

The chart below indicates the ideal storage temperatures for different types of wine:-

Type of wine

Red wine (*)

White wine (**)

Sparkling wines/champagne

Rose wine

Temperature

(Celsius)

15.5 – 18.5°C

10 - 15°C

7.2 – 9.5°C

9.5 – 10.5°C

Temperature

(Fahrenheit)

59.9 – 65.3°F

50 – 59°F

45 – 49.1°F

49.1 – 50.9°F

Vintage wine 13°C 55°F

* Light red wines, such as Beaujolais, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Franc benefit from being served slightly cooler than full-bodied reds.

** Chardonnay is often served too cold. You should chill it at a warmer temperature inside of your wine cooler. Or leave it to warm slightly when you remove it from your wine cooler. o Temperature stability is the most important factor when it comes to storing wine. o Exposure to light, vibrations or fluctuations in temperature and humidity can all cause wine to spoil. When properly stored, wines not only maintain their quality but many will actually improve in aroma, flavour and complexity as they mature. o Wines kept at a higher temperature will age faster. Wine that is exposed to temperatures that are greater than 21°C (70°F) will suffer from poorer flavour and aroma.

12

o If wine is kept at too low a temperature, this can result in the development of harmful deposits. A humidity of 70% is ideal for keeping corks from shrinking. o After a bottle of wine has been opened, the wine comes into contact with air. So it is best to store the remainder of the bottle upright, to minimize the surface area of the wine that is coming into contact with the air. o Once opened, wine will remain in a drinkable condition for two days for delicate whites or three days for rich reds, as long as the bottle as been resealed. You should make sure that the seal is firm by checking the stopper. o Special stoppers that keep wine sparking and Champagne bubbling for one or two days after opening, can be bought at most good wine shops. o When stored correctly, white wines can keep well for up to two years. Full bodied reds will age well for ten years and dessert wines will age well for up to twenty years. o When you buy a bottle of wine, you should transfer it to a suitable storage location immediately (if you are not going to store it in your wine cooler). o Cheaper bottles of wine will not age as well as more expensive ones. o To make the most of the bouquet and taste of your wine, never fill more than half a glass at a time. It will also help if the shape of your wine glass is appropriate for your wine. The size and shape of your wine glass’s bowl will determine the intensity and complexity of the bouquet. The stem should be long enough to allow you to avoid hand contact with the bowl of the glass and should be tulip-shaped or tapered at the top.

Wine storage problems

Corking- a tiny percentage of bottled wine (about 1%) will suffer from this. The cork reacts with the wine and gives it a musty, unpleasant taste. It is the most common wine storage problem and is caused by harmless bacteria growing on the cork. As unfortunate as this is, there is nothing to do but to discard all of the wine in the affected bottle.

This is not to be confused with small fragments of cork floating in the wine itself, which will not impair the flavour.

Oxidisation- when wine has been opened and left for longer than a day; it tends to lose its aroma and colour, giving an overall flat taste.

The only way to avoid this, it to either drink the wine on the same day it was opened or to use a vacuum device specially designed for removing oxygen from opened wine bottles. If you use such a device, the wine should still be consumed shortly afterwards.

Ullage- this is loss of wine from the bottle by evaporation or leakage.

Signs of ullage include wine seeping around the cork, a protruding cork or a stained label. It can happen if the bottle has been allowed to get too warm. The wine may still be drinkable, if the leakage was recent; however, you should be aware that if the wine cools down again, contraction can cause more air to be sucked into the bottle and result in further deterioration.

Slight effervescence in still wine- this isn’t really a problem with the way the wine has been stored, but as a result of incomplete malolactic fermentation before the wine was bottled. A good way to get rid of the effervescence is to let the wine breathe. Alternatively you can use a bottle vacuum device, after about five minutes the effervescence will vanish.

Sediment- this is not normally a problem, however both red and white wines can produce sediment after a number of months in a bottle. The sediment consists of tartrate crystals and is totally harmless. If anything the building of sediment can be considered a good sign because it means that the wine was not subjected to much

(if any) filtering, meaning that the flavours and aromas should be preserved better.

A good way to get around sediment (if it is a problem) is to stand the bottle upright, the day before opening, so that the sediment can settle to the bottom of the bottle.

You can also decant your wine; decanting will “open up” the flavour of both young and old wines, but younger wines in particular. To decant, pour the wine slowly and evenly into your decanter.

Cleaning and maintenance

WARNING: PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOUR

APPLIANCE IS DISCONNECTED FROM

YOUR MAINS SUPPLY BEFORE

ATTEMPTING TO CLEAN IT. o Do not clean the appliance by pouring water onto it or spraying water over it. o The interior of the wine cooler should be cleaned periodically, using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water. o Clean the accessories separately with soap and water.

Do not clean them in a dishwasher. o Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps. o After washing the appliance, wipe over the area that you have cleaned with a damp cloth and then dry it thoroughly. o When cleaning is complete, dry your hands and then reconnect the plug to your mains supply.

15

Defrosting o Defrosting occurs automatically inside of the wine cooler during operation. The defrost water is collected by the evaporating tray and evaporates automatically. o The evaporating tray and defrost water drain hole should be cleaned periodically. This will prevent water from collecting in the bottom of the wine cooler, instead of flowing down the defrost drainage channel and drain hole. o You can also pour a small amount of water down the drain hole to clean inside of it. o You should be careful to make sure that wine bottles do not touch the rear wall of the appliance, as this can interrupt the automatic defrosting process and deflect water into the base of your wine cooler.

Installation

IMPORTANT: Before installation and usage read all the instructions and make sure that the voltage (V) and the frequency (Hz) indicated on the rating plate are exactly the same as the voltage and frequency in your home. The rating plate can be found on the front edge of the
