Temperature
Wine storage 51°F (11°C)
Wine can be stored at temperatures
between 41°F and 64°F (5 - 18°C). If
you would like to store red and white
wines together, choose a temperature
between 50°F and 54°F (10 - 12 °C).
Most white wines are palatable at this
temperature. It is best to take red wine
out of the appliance about 2 hours
before drinking. Open the wine to allow
it to breathe and to develop its aroma.
After 2 hours, red wine will be at the
correct temperature for drinking.
You can change the "purpose" of the
zones as you wish.
For example, you can store white wine
in the upper temperature zone, as long
as you adjust the temperature
accordingly:
^ Tap the sensor button for the desired
temperature zone, so that it turns
yellow.
Storage temperatures above 72°F
(22°C) will cause wines to mature too
quickly. By contrast, wine should not be
stored below 41°F (5°C), since it will not
mature fully at this low temperature.
Fluctuations in temperature put wine
under stress and interrupt the maturing
process. Therefore, it is important to
maintain a constant temperature.
^ Select the preferred temperature
setting so that the sensor button turns
yellow.
The setting "white temper" is not
available in the lower temperature
zone.

Optimum temperature and air quality
Humidity
Increasing or decreasing the
humidity
In a conventional refrigerator, the
humidity levels are too low for storing
wines. High humidity levels (60 - 70 %)
are very important for the storage of
wine, so that the corks remain moist.
Under low humidity, the corks dry out
from the outside and can no longer seal
the bottles properly. This is why wine
bottles should always be stored lying
down, so that the wine can keep the
corks moistened from within. If air
enters the bottle, a wine will inevitably
spoil.
The unit comes factory pre-set to high
humidity.
If you would like to use the wine unit for
long-term storage, it is recommended
that you select the higher humidity. The
interior climate will then correspond
with the conditions in a wine cellar.
Humidity is raised or lowered for all
temperature zones simultaneously.
Tip: Wine bottles should stand upright
for at least two hours before serving, or,
better still whole day long, to enable
deposits to settle to the bottom of the
bottle.

Storage tips
Wooden racks
– Always unpack bottles – do not store
wine in crates or boxes.
– Always lay bottles on their side for
storage. This keeps the corks moist
from the inside, preventing air from
entering.
– Store similar wine varieties beside
each other on the same shelf, to
avoid restacking and the need to
disturbed other bottles.
For convenient removal and addition of
bottles, the wooden racks can be
pulled out on rails.
– Before serving, rosé and red wine
bottles should spend at least two
hours upright and open, to reach
optimal drinking temperature.
Sparkling wine and champagnes
should be chilled briefly in the
refrigerator before serving.
The wooden racks can also be
completely removed.
^ Pull out the empty wooden rack
(along with the rails) as far as the
stop, then lift it up and out.
– Remember that wine should always
be cooled to slightly lower than the
ideal serving temperature, as the
temperature increases by 1° to 2° as
soon as it is poured into a glass.
^ To replace the racks, set them on the
extended rails so that they click into
place.
Be sure that the ventilation slits at
the rear of the unit are not blocked.
They are essential for the unit to
operate properly.

Bottle display rack
The display rack can only be attached
to wooden racks with wide cross-ties. In
the upper temperature zone, these are
found in the lower position. In the lower
temperature zones, they are found in
both the upper and lower position.
The display rack, allows you to display
selected bottles so they can be seen
even with the door closed.
It is recommended that the wooden
racks always be left in the pre-set
positions. This makes optimal use of
the interior space.
Never stack bottles on the wooden
racks. Only the bottom-most level in
each temperature zone can support
a stack of bottles (remove the
wooden rack).
^ Lay the wine bottles in the display
rack, so that they touch the wooden
guide-rail a.
Maximum capacity
The unit can hold approx. 102 bottles
(0.75 l).
^ To remove the display rack pull it up
and out, then attach it to the rear
position on the wooden rack b.
The bottles can now be stored on the
wooden rack in the usual manner.
Additional display racks are
available from Miele.

Securing an alternative anti-tip
device
– The beam must cover the appliance
by at least 2" (50.8 mm).
If the anti-tip brackets cannot be
attached securely, an alternative
anti-tip device can be used.
^ Mark the installation height (lower
edge of the beam) on the rear wall of
the niche.
Ensure that there is no "give" between
the appliance and the anti-tip device.
^ Select screws according to the
thickness of the wooden beam.
Example: 3 ½" (89 mm) screw for 2x4
beam.
If possible, always screw the
wooden beam to existing studs.
^ Determine the number of screws
based on the cavity width, to ensure
that the beam will be attached
securely.
^ Locate wall studs near the rear wall
of the cavity and mark drill holes in
the beam.
^ Pre-drill the wooden beam.
^ Attach the wooden beam to the rear
wall of the niche.
If a side-by-side installation is desired,
connect the two appliances together.
See the Installation Manual included
with the "Merging Kit".
^ Cut a wooden beam
(cross section min. 3" x 4"
[75 mm x 100 mm]) to the required
length.
The length is equal to the width of the
installation niche.
– If the installation cavity is deeper
than the appliance, select a beam
which has a larger cross section, or
attach two beams.
