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, 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 will result in a dry cork. Too high humidity 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.

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.

The wine cabinet is fitted with an activated carbon filter which prevents odors that can pollute your wines. The Activated Carbon filter is originally called HEGA filter (High Efficiency Gas Absorption). It removes the gas molecules through a process of adsorption (not absorption). During adsorption, the pollutants stick to the outside of the Activated Carbon filter.

By having your own wine climate cabinet in your house, this creates enjoyment of your wine on a premium level like the wine came straight out of a real wine cellar.

Storing bottles

  • Moving the bottles or excessive vibration can have a negative effect on the aging 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, an alarm signal will sound and alarm key will flash on the display.

  • 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.

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

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.

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.

UC-POLICA-STEKL

Before you start adding bottles to a shelf, check once more whether the shelf is correctly placed on the plastic holders. Up to 8 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 (7)

UC-PLOŠČICE

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.

Charcoal filter (8)

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

Replace the air filter approximately every 12 months. A notification will appear on the display to remind you it is time to replace the filter.

UC-FILTER

Wooden bottom bottle rack (9)

UC-SPODNJA POL1

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. To remove bottom rack from the appliance, lift it (1) and take it out (2). Take care not to damage the door gasket.

UC-SPODNJA POL2

Up to 6 Bordeaux bottles (0.75 l) can be stored on the wooden bottom bottle rack.

2-layered glass door with UV filter (10)

The 2-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.

Appliance capacity

UC-1-KAPACITETA

The basic appliance configuration allows storing up to 44 Bordeaux bottles.

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

Humidity box (separate accessory, not included)

If the appliance is installed in a dry environmet, we recommend to buy Humidity box.

The purpose of this humidity box is to increase humidity of the Wine Climate Cabinet, to prevent humidity to drop under 50% that can appear in certain conditions (when the Wine Climate Cabinet is placed in an environment with low humidity).

You can monitor on the appliance display if there is low humidity (a notification will be given when humidity reaches 50% and an alarm when it reaches 40%).

HUMIDITY

You can fill the box with 0,5 liter of water and place it in the cabinet.

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.

In case you want to monitor humidity box refill notifications, you have to change SETTINGS MENU/SYSTEM/Humidity box notification/ from ‘OFF’ to ‘ON’.

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

Alarms

Please refer also to chapter "Tips & Tricks" to learn more about possible reasons for each particular alarm.

Temperature alarm

Temperature alarm sounds when the temperature in the appliance is out of range, for 3 hours constantly. This means 3°C above or 3°C below the setpoint temperature.

The alarm keyALARM_BLINKand setpoint temperatureTEMP_BLINKare blinking.

Every time the appliance is switched on again, it takes a while until the correct temperature is reached. For this reason, the alarm is disabled for the first 6 hours after the appliance is switched on to prevent the unnecessary activation of the alarm. Each time the door is closed, temperature alarm is blocked for 3 hours.

Stopping the alarm:

Short press on alarm key will stop the alarm from sounding, alarm key is not illuminated anymore. Setpoint temperature continues to blink while the temperature is still out of range. If the temperature is within range and temperature alarm is active, it will be canceled automatically.

Humidity

Humidity can be (de)activated in SETTINGS MENU. If it is set to 'OF', then humidity is no longer being monitored (not in the appliance and not in the mobile app). Display 'H' does not show any value and automatically humidity alarm and humidity box refill notification are disabled.

Humidity alarm sounds when 7 days average value of compartment humidity falls below 40% or rises above 80%, for 7 days constantly.

The alarm keyALARM_BLINKand humidity valueHUM_BLINKare blinking.

Every time the appliance is switched on, it takes a while until the correct humidity is reached. For this reason, the alarm is disabled for the first 24 hours after the appliance is switched on to prevent the unnecessary activation of the alarm. Each time the door is closed, humidity alarm is blocked for 6 hours.

If the difference between old setpoint and new setpoint is less than 5°C, it has no influence on humidity alarm.

If setpoint temperature for any compartment is set above or equal to 16°C, humidity alarm is neglected.

Stopping the alarm:

Short press on alarm key will stop the alarm from sounding, alarm key is not illuminated anymore.

Humidity value continues to blink while the humidity is still out of range.

If humidity value reestablishes between 40% and 80% and humidity alarm is active , it will be canceled automatically.

Humidity box notification

The appliance can notify you when humidity box needs to be refilled. Humidity box notification starts when 7 days average value of compartment humidity is between 40% - 50% for 7 days constantly. So you do not have to remember to check it yourself and can also help avoid triggering the humidity alarm.

The alarm keyALARM_BLINKand humidity valueHUM_BLINKare blinking softly. No alarm sound is heard.

Humidity box notification can be (de)activated in SETTINGS MENU. So if you do not have a humidity box or you prefer to check the humidity box yourself, it can be set to 'OF', then humidity box notification alarm is not active.

Every time the appliance is switched on, it takes a while until the correct humidity is reached. For this reason, the notification is disabled for the first 24 hours after the appliance is switched on to prevent the unnecessary activation of the notification. Each time the door is closed, humidity notification is blocked for 6 hours.

If the difference between old setpoint and new setpoint is less than 5°C, it has no influence on humidity notification.

Stopping the notification:

Short press on alarm key will cancel humidity box notification, alarm key is not illuminated anymore but humidity value continues to blink until value goes between 50% and 80%.

Power outage high temperature alarm

If the electricity power in which the appliance is plugged in fails or outages then appliance stops cooling and temperature inside the compartment can be affected.

The power failure alarm is designed to alert after power is restored and appliance turned on that the temperature inside the compartment is out of range. If the temperature is not out of range, power failure alarm will not be triggered. When the appliance is in a place not frequently visited or you are away for a long time this alarm will help you be aware after restoring the appliance that the temperature of the bottles might have changed.

Alarm sounds and on displays 'T' and 'H' there is a 'PF'POW_TEMP_BLINKblinking.

Stopping the alarm:

Short press on alarm key will stop the alarm from sounding.

After that, current measured temperature and current humidity value will be shown on displays 'T' and 'H'.

If you press on alarm key again, alarm will be canceled. Compartment setpoint temperature and humidity level will be shown on displays 'T' and 'H'.

When Power outage high temperature alarm is canceled, Temperature alarm can be still active. In that case, alarm behaves like Temperature alarm.

SETTINGS MENU

Because the appliance has extensive setting options, a menu system was defined to provide access to all settings. As a default all settings are already set, so it is not necessary to go through SETTINGS MENU. But to adapt the appliance settings to your preferences it is possible to do so.

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.

In case there is a communication error between power board and user interface electronics, other errors will not be displayed.

If any error indication on displays 'T' and 'H' is active, then other action on display is not possible.

For that there are, anyway, some exceptions:

  • in case of any of alarms is active: alarm key is active (to reset active alarm),

  • in case of active Key Lock mode: key lock key is active (for deactivating key lock),

  • On/Off key is active, to enter Off mode with a 3 seconds press.

If several different errors are active in the same time, they will be displayed sequentially.

If after 3 hours since the user closed the message, the error is still not resolved, the error message is displayed again.

General problems

Problem

Cause/Solution

Appliance cools continuously for a long time.

  • The ambient temperature is too high.

  • The door has been opened for too long or too frequently.

  • The door does not seal properly (the seal is dirty, the door is misaligned or the seal is damaged, etc.).

  • A larger quantity of bottles is newly inserted.

  • Insufficient air circulation around the compressor and condenser. Check that there is sufficient ventilation around the appliance.

  • The appliance is cooled by a cooling system with a noise-causing compressor. The noise level depends on the installation of the appliance, its correct use and age.

  • When you connect the appliance to the power supply, the noise made by the compressor or liquid refrigerant may be slightly louder. This does not indicate a fault and has no effect on the service life of the appliance.The appliance will produce more noise for some time.

  • The appliance may temporarily produce more noise after the door has been opened for too long or too frequently or, there is a large amount of newly inserted bottles.

  • The appliance may produce more noise when operating in a high temperature environment.

LED light is not working.
