  • In case of a power supply failure, leave the door closed as long as possible to maintain the temperature inside the appliance. The appliance will store the selected temperature settings and retrieve them once the power supply is restored.

Storing wine

Wine storage tips

Natural wine cellars are the ideal place to store wine, because of the scarce light, the lack of vibrations and having a special climate. A wine’s temperature determines its flavour, and influences enjoyment. Wine ageing depends on the environment conditions in which the wine is stored. By maintaining constant optimum temperature, correct air humidity, and an atmosphere free from any odours, the wine climate cabinet provides excellent conditions for storing your wine. It also provides an environment free from harmful vibrations that could also affect the ageing process. Since every type of wine has an optimum ageing time and climate, we suggest checking the recommended time to open the bottle as advised by the winemaker.

Most people who drink wine, know you serve white wine and champagne chilled, and red wine on room temperature. What people may not know that the "room temperature" that wine professionals are referring to, is the temperature of wine caves in the Bordeaux region of France. Those caves are about 13°C. A good wine climate cabinet, ideally with three temperature zones, can keep your wines at a perfect serving temperature, reducing the guesswork and sometimes the headache.

It is very important to maintain a constant temperature within the wine climate cabinet. In case of a power failure, open the door as little as possible to maintain the temperature in the appliance interior. A gradual increase in temperature will not have a negative impact on the wine.

The humidity should be between 50% and 80%. Too low humidity over a longer period will result in a dry cork. Too high humidity over a longer period will cause mold. The ASKO Wine Climate Cabinet provides excellent ventilation with clean air which helps preventing damage to labels and corks during storage.

The humidity levels in wine climate cabinet are particularly important for long term wine storage and ageing. Recommended temperature for wine ageing is between 11°C and 13°C. For that purpose, the wine climate cabinet will maintain optimal ageing conditions and notify the user, if the conditions deviate from them. Extremely high and low temperature settings are intended mainly for the wine serving purposes. Wine is exposed to this conditions for shorter time periods and therefore humidity should not have any negative effect on the wine. However, monitoring of relative humidity levels is available regardless of the compartment temperature setting.

Major temperature changes can cause humidity levels to deviate from the desired levels and it may take longer, e.g. about a week, for them to stabilize again. During this time, the notifications for humidity out of zone will not appear.

Extremely diverse settings in neighboring zones, e.g. A=20°C / B=5°C / C=20°C, A=5°C / B=20°C / C=5°C, etc., may result in the humidity levels not reaching the desired levels in the warmer compartments.

Wine should be stored horizontally, especially corked wines. It will keep the cork moist and swollen and prevent wine from unwanted contact with air. Short term storage, within some weeks, storing in tilted position is preferred to keep the cork damp. If the position is too upward, the cork will dry out. Screw and crown caps have less demands regarding the positioning.

Serving temperature

The Three-Zone ASKO Wine Climate Cabinet also contains a Serving Area. You will have the possibility to prepare your wine and glasses to the ultimate temperature for the wine you are about to serve. In addition, the temperature can be adjusted according to whether the wine is to be enjoyed in the near future, or whether it is to be stored longer-term. Your Wine Cabinet doesn't have to resemble a science experiment, but some wines are considered to benefit from a bit of breathing space before you drink them. You can do that by using a decanter in the special created area in the serving area.

Storing bottles

  • Moving the bottles or excessive vibration can have a negative effect on the ageing process and thus on the wine’s flavour. The appliance is fitted with a special sensor that continuously measures vibration. In case of excessive vibration, e.g. when the appliance door is slammed shut, a warning will appear on the appliance display unit.

  • Keep the bottles intended for daily use on the front half of the shelves. Keep the wines you intend to store for a long time or age in the bottom part of the cabinet.

  • Inventory system will help you to create a register of the wines being stored. So, when searching for a particular wine, it won't be necessary to move the bottles.

  • Store the bottles horizontally, so that cork stoppers are also kept moist from within.

  • Once open, store the bottle vertically and close them tightly.

Mould can appear on bottle labels; this depends on the type of glue used for the label. Clean the bottles and remove any residual glue.

White sediment can form on cork stoppers as a result of oxidation due to contact with air.

Wipe the sediment with a dry cloth. The sediment does not affect the quality of the wine.

There are two insulation barriers inside the wine climate cabinet: top insulation barrier (5) and bottom insulation barrier (15). Thus, the inside of the wine climate cabinet is divided into three temperature zones: A, B (serving area) and C. This allows storage and immediate serving of different types of wine.

Zone A

LED shelf illumination (1)

Each temperature zone features functional LED illumination on the appliance ceiling and on the bottom side of both insulation barriers. Owing to the use of LED illumination, the wine will not be exposed to UV rays and heat. The intensity and time interval of LED illumination operation can be adjusted according to the user’s preferences and requirements.

Standard wooden bottle shelf (2)

The shelves are placed on the full-extension telescopic rails with the soft-close feature. Full extension of the shelves allows easier handling of the bottles.

Be careful when pulling out the wooden shelves. Carefully pull out and push back the wooden shelves in order not to expose the wine bottles to vibration.

Before removing any shelf from the appliance, the shelf should be completely empty.

Make sure the door is fully open before removing the shelves. This will prevent any damage to the door gasket.

SLIKA_7

To remove a shelf from the appliance, fully extend the telescopic rails (1), and then vertically lift the shelf (2) to remove it from the rails. When removing the shelf, you can experience some resistance because of the fixation with the pin on the front side.Take care not to damage the door gasket.

7_PINS

To replace a shelf onto the rails again, use the grooves (a, b) and pin (c) on the back and front side of the shelf.

First, fully extend the telescopic rails. Using the grooves (a) position the shelf onto the hooks (d) on the back side of the rails (1).

Then, use the grooves (b) to position the shelf onto the hooks (e) on the front side of the rails (2).

Pin (c) enables additional fixing of the shelf.

Press the shelf and rails together, so that the pin is fully seated in the hole (f).

This way you will not accidently push the shelve off.

SLIKA_8

Before you start adding bottles to a shelf, check once more whether the shelf is correctly placed on the telescopic rails. Up to 13 Bordeaux bottles (0.75 l) can be placed on each standard wooden bottle shelf.

Higher humidity level inside the appliance may cause the wooden parts to slightly bend; this, however, will not affect their functioning.

Chalkboard name tag (3)

Chalkboard name tags are supplied with the appliance. They can be installed at the front side of each shelf. You can use chalk to indicate the wine stored on a particular shelf. The chalkboard name tags can be wiped with a damp cloth.

SLIKA_11

Wooden bottle shelf with moon shaped recesses (4)

BOTTLE HOLDER_1

The wooden bottle shelf with moon shaped recesses allows you to load the bottles onto the shelf cross-wise.

This is particularly convenient for storing larger bottles.

BOTTLE HOLDER_2

In some cases, during opening/closing of the shelf, bottles are not properly positioned or stopped and they can move. To prevent movement of the bottles on the shelf, it is recommended to use the accessory 'bottle stopper' (a) included in the appliance equipment.

SLIKA_13_POPRAVEK

Up to 10 bottles can be stored on a shelf cross-wise.

Normal positioning of the bottles is also possible.

The wooden bottle shelf with moon shaped recesses can be removed from the appliance in the same way as the standard wooden bottle shelf.

Top insulation barrier (5)

The top insulation barrier separates zones A and B and allows individual temperature settings for these two zones.

Touch screen TFT display (6)

Use the touch screen TFT display to control the wine climate cabinet.

Scan camera (7)

The camera is intended for optical reading of wine bottle labels. It gathers and stores the data intended for further management of the wine climate cabinet inventory. This data helps the user find information about a particular wine either via the touch screen TFT display or via the ConnectLife mobile app.

The camera will only be working if the user is activating it on purpose.

Zone B - serving area

SLIKA_14

The serving area (zone B) is a temperature zone between the top (5) and bottom (15) insulation barrier. It allows you to bring the wine on ideal consumption temperature, and to prepare in advance everything you need for quick and top-notch wine serving: chilled wine glasses, space for already open bottles, decanter, and other accessories (bottle openers, wine pourers/spouts, stoppers ...).

The maximum weight that the serving tray can carry is 10 kg.

Stacking several rows of bottles on top of each other on the telescopic shelves is not accepted!

The following parts are installed on the bottom side of the top insulation barrier (5): wooden wine glass hangers (8), shelf illumination (1) and RGB illumination (9).

Wooden wine glass hangers – left + right (8) allow you to store up to 6 wine glasses. Insert the glasses into the rack by moving them in the direction of the arrow (a). The glasses are then chilled to the set temperature.

RGB illumination (9) provides additional ambiental illumination. It is intended for creating a special ambient in the serving area using the combination of illumination colours. It can be set to your preferences. This illumination is not intended as functional illumination of the appliance or the serving area (zone B).

SER_SET

The serving set includes the following: inclination serving bottle shelf (13), vertical bottle holder with wooden dividers (12), serving tray (11), accessory drawer (14) on full extension telescopic rails with soft-close and push-to-open mechanism.

The maximum weight that the serving tray can carry is 10 kg.

SLIKA_16

Inclination serving bottle shelf (13) is installed on the full-extension telescopic rails with soft close and it is secured against tipping over. A serving tray is placed on the front part of the serving shelf, and the vertical bottle holder is inserted into the shelf’s rear part. The tray and the bottle holder can be lifted and removed from the support shelf (for serving purposes outside the Wine Climate Cabinet, maintenance or cleaning).

SLIKA_34

Serving bottle shelf also allows storing bottles in two positions: horizontally or tilted/inclined. The front part of the shelf (a) can be lifted (1) and supported by the rotated (2) lateral supports (b, c). Up to 6 Bordeaux bottles can be placed on the front side of the shelf.

Only store bottles that you intend to open and serve soon on the inclined front part of the shelf (a). This will allow any sediment to settle on the bottom of the bottle, allowing for decanting.

REMOVE_SHELF

An accessory drawer with wooden dividers (14) is installed on extendible rails underneath the serving shelf.

Inclination serving bottle shelf can be removed from the appliance along with the accessory drawer. Take care not to damage the door gasket. Pull out the shelf from the appliance as far as possible. Then, lift it at the front side (1), pull forward (2) and lift at the back (3). To replace the shelf with the accessory drawer onto the rails, follow the same procedure in the reverse order. Fully extend the telescopic rails and align the grooves (b) on the left- and right-hand side at the back onto the two hooks (d). Push the shelf and place it onto the hooks (c) on the front side of the groove (a).

Before placing the serving tray onto the shelf and inserting the vertical bottle holder, check once more whether the shelf and the accessory drawer are correctly installed on the rails.

SLIKA_18

Vertical bottle holder with wooden dividers (12) is intended for storing the bottles in the vertical position. Wooden dividers can be placed into the grooves as desired to create separate bottle compartments.

SLIKA_19

Serving tray (11) allows you to prepare in advance the glasses and the decanter with wine, and simply take them to the table directly from the wine climate cabinet.

Be careful when removing a loaded tray.

SER_SET

Accessory drawer (14) is installed on the full-extension telescopic rails. It uses the push-to-open mechanism for opening. Press on the closed drawer to fully open it. To close the drawer, press again on its front side.

ACC_DR

Wooden dividers in the drawer can be inserted into the grooves to fit the accessories you are storing (bottle opener, pourer/spout, wine stoppers etc.).

REMOVE_DR

The drawer can also be removed from the appliance without removing the serving bottle shelf from its rails. To do this, fully open the drawer, lift it at the front (1) and pull it towards you.

To replace the drawer, follow the same procedure in the reverse order: push the drawer along the rails to the hook (d) on the back of the rails. When the drawer is blocked on the rear side, lower it at the front so that the grooves (a) can be placed over the hooks (c).

PUSH_OPEN

If the shelf (13) and drawer (14) are not aligned at the front (d≠0), first completely pull out the drawer to access the drawer opening mechanism on the back wall. Press on the spacer (A) to release the mechanism. Rotate the spacer to adjust the length.

Situation "a": rotate the spacer in anti-clockwise direction (1). Compared to the initial state, the spacer moves outward relative to the drawer, i.e. it is extended. When you push the drawer back into the appliance (2), the drawer will be positioned slightly more to the front of the appliance (3).

Situation "b": rotate the spacer in clockwise direction (1). Relative to the initial state, the spacer moves toward the drawer, i.e. it is shortened. When you push the drawer back into the appliance (2), the drawer will be positioned slightly more to the back of the appliance (3).

Repeat the process until the shelf and the drawer are flush at the front (d=0) – situation "c".

Before you start adding accessories to the drawer, check once more whether the drawer is correctly placed on the telescopic rails.

Charcoal filter (10)

Fresh air is drawn into the appliance interior through active charcoal air filters. This ensures freshness, as well as absence of dust and odours. The fans then distribute the air evenly across the appliance interior.

Replace the air filters approximately every 12 months. A message will appear on the touch screen TFT display and in the ConnectLife mobile app to remind you it is time to replace the filters.

FILTER

To replace the air filter:

Humidity box

One HumidityBox is supplied with the wine climate cabinet.

The purpose of the HumidityBox is to adjust the humidity in one of the zones of the wine climate cabinet, specifically to prevent humidity from dropping to below 50%, which could appear in certain conditions (e.g., when the wine climate cabinet is placed in an environment with low humidity).

Humidity level in respective zones can be monitored on the appliance display. If humidity in any zone drops to 40% or below, an alarm will be activated. You can then place the humidity box, filled with water, in this zone.

We recommend using the HumidityBox in compartments where the wines are stored for longer periods, since low humidity there could more severely impact the wine (with long-term drying of the corks). When you are storing your bottles for shorter periods or preparing them for serving, lower humidity should not have a significant impact on the wine quality.

HUMIDITY

Fill the box with 0.5 litre of tap water and place it in the relevant zone. There are no preferrable positions, as long as it is placed in the correct zone.

HumidityBox is made of clay, a natural material with the right characteristics to first absorb water and then allow it to evaporate to increase humidity.

The walls and bottom of the clay box are glazed to prevent water leakage. Water is absorbed by all walls, but will only evaporate through the unglazed top surface.

The HumidityBox is made in an artisan workshop with fine craftmanship. As a result, minor irregularities in material or shape may occur. They, however, do not have any effect on functionality.

The colour of the box changes when it is filled with water: as the walls absorb water, they become darker. Depending on the hardness of your tap water, some white limescale stains may appear on the material. To avoid this, you may use descaled or distilled water. The white stains can be washed off.

After placing the HumidityBox in the correct zone, it will take approximately 9 hours to increase the humidity back from 40% to 50%. After 9 hours, humidity will continue to slowly increase.

On average, the HumidityBox should be refilled every 30 days. The appliance will sound an alarm when humidity gets too low (below 40%).

You can also buy additional HumidityBoxes when needed.

Please do not put the HumidityBox in the dishwasher, as this type of material is not dishwasher safe. Because of the relatively thin walls, the box is fragile and should be handled carefully. Occasionally, shower the inside of the box with tap water.

For more informations refer to the local Asko dealer or to the Asko website of your country.

Zone C

Bottom insulation barrier (15)

The bottom insulation barrier separates zones B and C and allows individual temperature settings for these two zones.

Functional LED illumination is installed on the bottom side of the barrier.

Wooden bottom bottle rack (16)

SLIKA_23

The wooden bottom bottle rack is intended for storing the bottles in the compressor area. This area is suitable for storing bottles you wish to keep for a longer period of time, especially for ageing without excessive vibration and unnecessary movement. Up to 36 Bordeaux bottles (0.75 l) can be stored on the wooden bottom bottle rack.

3-layered glass door with UV filter (17)

The 3-layered glass door is filled with argon (a noble gas), which makes them more energy efficient. For maximum protection from sunlight that can harm the wine’s aging process, an additional UV film is used that stops 99% of sunlight.

The door closes automatically when the opening angle is less than 20°. The soft-close mechanism gently closes the door.

Appliance capacity

SLIKA_24

The basic appliance configuration allows storing up to 139 Bordeaux bottles.

The number of bottles you can load onto each shelf is indicated on the drawing.

Changing the basic appliance configuration

The basic appliance configuration can be adjusted to suit your preferences.

This can be done without using any tools.

Disconnect the appliance from the power mains before changing the appliance configuration! In order to avoid damaging the floor, use a floor mat or other suitable protection on the floor in front of the appliance.

Take care not to damage the door gasket. A damaged gasket will negatively affect appliance operation.

SLIKA_25

Remove the following serving set elements in the indicated order: vertical bottle holder, serving tray, and inclination serving bottle shelf with accessory drawer. The process of removing each serving set element is described in the chapter Zone B - serving area.

NUMB_BOTTLES

Up to 51 Bordeaux bottles can be loaded onto the bottom insulation barrier.

With such configuration, a total of 190 Bordeaux bottles can be stored in the appliance.

The number of bottles you can place onto each shelf is indicated on the drawing.

It is however recommended to buy the accessory set with three additional shelves (see next page).

Accessory set

There is a possibility to buy additional equipment, shelves set, that contains the following components:

  • 2 standard wooden bottle shelves,

  • 1 bottle shelf with moon shaped recesses,

  • two pairs of full-extension telescopic rails,

  • screws ST4.8 × 13

SLIKA_33

Shelves set enables you to change the appliance configuration, so a total of 190 Bordeaux bottles can be stored in the appliance.

The number of bottles you can load onto each shelf is indicated on the drawing.

Side-by-Side kit

SBS_ZA_NAVODILO

There is a possibility to place two appliances side-by-side.

To ensure the proper fitting and long-lasting operation of two appliances put in side-by-side installment, the dedicated kit should be used. Using the dedicated side-by-side kit will ensure exact alignment, stabilization, and eliminate the possibility of excessive condensate accumulation between adjacent appliances.

For safety reasons, side-by-side kit should only be installed by an authorized service technician!

For more informations refer to the local Asko dealer or to the Asko website of your country.

Software update

Wine Climate Cabinet can receive updates of the appliance software (for example improved function updates or safety relevant updates). This requires that Wine Climate Cabinet is connected to the cloud.

With ConnectLife mobile application you can also receive notifications when software updates are available in the appliance-but only when a user account is paired to the appliance. If this is not yet established, please proceed with the chapter for Operation, Initial Use (this can be done anytime through SETTINGS menu, not only during initial use).

When new software update is available, both appliance and mobile app will send a notification. In the appliance, a pop up is displayed with a direct access to the update process. In the mobile app, new application screen will appear with notification that new software update is available with direct access to the update process. Please follow the instructions.

To start the update process, press on the “UPDATE” button in the Software Update screen (it is also found inside SETTINGS menu).

During the update process the appliance cannot be used. Make sure the power supply and Wi-Fi connection are not terminated. The update process may take a while. It is normal if there may be no response during the update. The update process can take between 1-5 minutes. In some cases, if there is bad network connection, this time can be longer. User can monitor update progress on appliance’s display, download process is displayed in %.

With the software update also user interface can change, so user manuals may not reflect the latest changes. For latest version of the user manuals please check your ConnectLife application.

In case the process failed, Wine Climate Cabinet remains on the previous software version and should operate normal. Please wait for some time before you try again. If the process continues to fail, contact the service department for further support.

If the appliance is not responding after the update process, please wait for some time. The appliance might be still in the update process. If there is still no response after multiple hours, contact the service department for further support.

Inventory

Your Wine Climate Cabinet helps you to manage your wine inventory. It will automatically add the data of the scanned wines to the system. The bottle positions can be managed to be able to find a wine back after years of aging. Two systems are available for managing your inventory, so you can choose the one that suits you best.

SLIKA_UI_19_SETTINGS

From the opened plus menu, tap on the INVENTORY function to open the Inventory management system.

First use

First time you access the INVENTORY or SCAN WINE LABEL function the preferred system must be decided for and can be changed afterwards in the SETTINGS menu.

Select the preferred system and press on the confirm key to confirm and continue.

SLIKA_UI_23_INVENTORY_MANAGEMENT

  • Generic: For each bottle you can enter in the digital inventory the shelf level on which the bottle is positioned. You can change the position of the bottles on the shelf without the need to adjust the positions in the digital inventory. When you would like to find a certain wine, you have to look through all the bottles on the shelf though you can add a logical order to your preference.

  • Exact: For each bottle you can enter in the digital inventory the exact position on the shelf. If you would change the order of the bottles on the shelf, the new positions of the bottles have to be entered again. When you would like to find a certain wine, the exact position of that wine will be indicated, if the inventory is well maintained.

It is possible to change your INVENTORY MANAGEMENT once it has been used. However it is important to know that:

  • When you change to the EXACT management system, all current positioned bottles will get an UNPLACED state. Do you really want to change the INVENTORY MANAGEMENT system to EXACT?

  • When you change to the GENERIC management system all NOTES will be deleted and bottles will get a generic position on the current shelf. Do you really want to change the INVENTORY MANAGEMENT system to GENERIC?

Scan Wine Label

Maintenance

Defrosting the appliance

  • The wine climate cabinet is defrosted automatically. Drops of water will flow through an opening in the rear wall into a tray fitted above the compressor, from where they will evaporate.

Cleaning the appliance

Switch off the appliance and remove the plug from the socket before you start cleaning it.

Do not use abrasive cleaning agents, as they can damage the surface.

Do not remove the rating plate located inside the appliance. The rating plate contains data that you need in case of a repair.

  • Before cleaning, remove the bottles from the appliance and store them in a cold place.

  • Regularly clean the appliance interior with lukewarm water. If necessary, add a neutral detergent or a special refrigerator detergent to the water. Use a soft cloth to clean all surfaces. Wipe the cleaned parts with a cloth dampened with clean water and dry them thoroughly.

  • Do not wash parts of the appliance in a dishwasher as they can be damaged.

  • Remove any stains from wooden parts immediately to prevent them from soaking into the wood. Clean the wooden parts with a damp cloth. Make sure the wood is not too wet and leave the parts to dry completely before returning them to the wine cabinet.

Note: Wood is a natural material. Therefore, some stains (especially from red wine) may be hard to remove.

Such stains can be removed by gently rubbing the wood with a very fine sandpaper and then treating the sanded part with wood oil. The substance used to treat the wood should be safe for food contact.

  • Clean the glass door with a suitable glass cleaner.

  • Clean the gasket with lukewarm water, then wipe it with a soft cloth and dry it thoroughly.

  • Regularly clean (using a vacuum cleaner) the ventilation slots on the appliance sides and back. Accumulation of dust on the ventilation slots may result in increased power consumption.

If you do not intend to use the appliance for a long time, switch it off and disconnect it from the power mains. Empty and clean the appliance, than leave the door ajar. This will prevent the appearance of mould inside the appliance.

Reversing the door opening direction

The direction in which the appliance door opens can be reversed.

In order to safely reverse the door opening direction, at least three people should carry out the procedure described below. The door weighs about 40 kg.

In order to avoid damaging the floor, use a floor mat or other suitable protection on the floor in front of the appliance. Also, plan for a suitable spot where you will temporarily place the door during the procedure.

Take care not to damage the door gasket. A damaged gasket will negatively affect appliance operation.

The self-closing hinge could close and damage your fingers. Therefore, please be particularly careful.
