THE COMPRESSOR OF MY WINE CELLAR KEEPS RUNNING
WITHOUT STOPPING
If no cold effect is observed, call the after-sales service of your retailer.
THE WINTER SYSTEM DOES NOT SEEM TO BE OPERATING
The system operates only if the inside temperature in the lower part of your
wine cellar is below the set temperature.
RELATIVE HUMIDITY
What should be the average relative humidity in my wine cellar ?
1. The ideal average relative humidity should be between 55 and 65 % ;
do not mistake this value for the instantaneous value which varies as a
function of the compressor's operating cycles. Just like for the average
temperature, it is this average relative humidity value which counts.
2. Depending on the geographical zones and their relative humidity in the
air, more water may or may not have to be added.
In temperate countries, the relative humidity contained in the air is
between 50 and 80 %. Therefore, it is not necessary to add water, but
it should be regularly checked.
The average relative humidity of my wine cellar remains persistently
below 50 % : are you sure ? (Relative humidity fluctuates a lot and
rapidly - this is normal)
1. Check whether the activated charcoal filter is too old or simply
obstructed.
2. Make sure that your hygrometer is operating correctly.
3. If you moisten a cloth every 2 hours, it will never be dry. This principle
applies to corks. The constancy of the relative humidity average
allows corks to preserve their elasticity, which is indispensable.
Therefore, remember that an instantaneous value which seems low is
normal, because it will necessarily rise later.
