[. . . ] • When the appliance is working, drops of dew or frost may form on the inner liner wall. There is no need to scrape the frost off or dry off the dew. The defrost water is automatically conveyed to a drain hole, and then collected in a container where it evaporates. • The bottles can be stored neatly on the wooden racks. Each shelf can bear a maximum weight of 40 Kg. Remember when arranging • Place the bottles in a central position on the rack. • When closing the door make sure that the bottles do not touch the glass door. • Caution: highly concentrated alcohol must be kept hermetically closed and in a vertical position. • Because of the circulation of air in the refrigerator, different temperature zones form: the colder zones are those near the back wall, the warmer zones are close to the door glass. • Always store bottled wines individually and not in cases or cardboard boxes. • The recommended quantities of 0. 75 l Bordeaux type bottles are as follows: - h 1400: 88 bottles; - h 1600: 101 bottles; - h 1800: 119 bottles. In the extreme event that the temperature drops below 0 °C, the wine would freeze causing the cork to explode. Humidity is also crucial in optimal wine storage: dry environments cause the cork to shrink whereas overly damp locations cause mould and harmful microorganisms to form. The cork This is an essential part of the bottle: the quality of the cork, selected by the wine-maker, is very important in the ageing process of the wine itself. The conditions of the cork, including corks in bottled wine, depend solely on the process and storage standards used by the manufacturer or bottler.
