Optimum air quality
9
Ideal humidity.
If wines are to be stored for prolonged periods, the correct
humidity is essential. At humidity levels below 50%, even
the best natural corks start to shrink. This allows more and
more oxygen to penetrate the bottle, and evaporation to
occur; and, as the fill level drops, oxidation increases. Wines
become gradually sweeter until they spoil completely.
However, with humidity levels of at least 50%, Liebherr
wine cabinets ensure the best conditions for both corks
and wine. Thanks to an impressive vaporiser system and
specially regulated air circulation, high humidity levels are
sustained in all wine storage cabinets.
Optimum air quality with Liebherr
Optimum air-freshness.
All Liebherr wine cabinets are fitted with FreshAir activated-
charcoal filters, which ensure optimum air quality within the
appliance. The active-charcoal reacts with any contaminants,
binding them to its surface, and thereby filtering them from
the incoming-air. In the Vinidor appliances, each individual
wine zone has a FreshAir activated charcoal filter. Only
the Vinidor appliances UWT 1682 (TipOpen under-worktop
appliance), UWTes 1672 (under-worktop appliance) and
WTes 1672 (table height, under-worktop) have one
FreshAir activated charcoal filter in the divider to filter both
zones. This prevents odours from the ambient air affecting
the taste of the wines stored in the interior. Filters should
ideally be replaced once a year. They can be ordered as an
accessory and are easy to replace.
