will fall to 40%. During a heating period, the
frost melts and humidity may reach 75%.
Taking an average of these two values, we
obtain an average humidity of 55%. It is
essential to calculate an average value over
several cycles and not from a single
reading.
To increase the humidity in the cellar, there
are two alternatives:
- - Place a jar of water in the upper part of the
cellar
- - Raise the temperature slightly inside the
cellar
The temperature in the cellar is not
consistent
1 The actual temperature to take into account
is the temperature in the bottle. The
temporary variations which you observe
correspond to the compressor's operating
cycles.

It is through this principle of a series of small
variations in the air inside your wine cellar
that a suitable average temperature is
obtained, ensuring the best conditions for
maturing your wine.
3 If the temperature noted in your wine cellar
is different from that usually seen and it
does not change continuously (over several
hours and except when located in a non-
heated room with a temperature of between
10 and 12°C), please contact your retailer’s
after-sales service.
The cellar’s compressor runs
continuously
If no cold is being produced, call your
retailer’s after-sales service.
Check to ensure that the cellar is indeed
level and that all the feet are resting on the
ground.
The cellar makes a lot of noise
