tapered at the top.

7. TROUBLESHOOTING
If you experience any problem with the wine cooler or you think it does not work properly, you
can carry out a few simple checks before calling the ocial Cecotec Customer Service.
- The wine coolers models GrandSommelier 24000 Black/Inox Compressor are designed to
hold a maximum of 24 750 ml Bordeaux bottles, based on the bottle distribution shown
in Figure 6.
- You can store larger bottles. However, you must rst ensure that they do not prevent the
door from closing properly.
- Capacity will vary depending on how you store your bottles or their size.

Wines and suggested temperatures:
Temperature (ºC) Temperature (ºF)

NOTE:
These are approximate values, as temperature requirements may vary from wine to wine.
Always follow the wine maker’s indications.
- Exposure to light, vibrations, or uctuations in temperature and humidity can cause the
wine to spoil. When properly stored, wines not only maintain their quality, but many
improve in aroma, avour, and complexity as they mature.
- Wines kept at higher temperatures age faster. Wines exposed to temperatures above 18°C
(64°F) will lose avour and aroma.
- If the wine is kept at too low a temperature, it can lead to the appearance of damaging
deposits. A humidity of 60%~70% is ideal to prevent corks from shrinking.
- After opening a bottle of wine, the wine comes into contact with air. Therefore, it is best to
store the rest of the bottle in an upright position to minimise the surface area of the wine
that comes into contact with air.
- Once opened, the wine will be drinkable for two days in the case of whites or three days
in the case of reds, provided that the bottle was resealed. Make sure the seal is tight by
checking the stopper.
- In most wine shops you can buy special stoppers that keep sparkling wine and champagne
bubbly for a day or two after opening.
- When you buy a bottle of wine, you should immediately store it in the wine cooler.
- Cheaper bottles of wine do not age as well as more expensive ones.
- To make the most of the aroma and avour of the wine, never ll more than half a glass at
a time. The shape of the glass helps in that regard as well. The size and shape of the wine
