6.6 Humidity management
6.6.1 Introduction
The recommended average relative humidity range is between 55 and 75 percent.
This will keep the cork of your bottles sufficiently humid to maintain the flexibility and
elasticity required to keep them hermetic to liquids, while letting your wines breathe.
Your Avintage wine cabinet automatically controls the relative humidity in the cabinet.
The combination of (1) the circulation of filtered ambient air loaded with humidity in
the cabinet, (2) the phenomenon of condensation linked to the cabinet's operation,
and (3) the surface area of the inner steel walls coated with a paint of large particle
size offers your wines ideal ambient conditions.
Note: Under exceptionally dry ambient conditions, it may be necessary to add
water to allow the cabinet to maintain its desired humidity. To do this, you can
place a wet sand bin or a bowl of purified water (or tap water, provided it does
not have a strong smell) inside the device.
Wait a few days after you have started operating the wine cabinet for the first time so
that the ideal average relative humidity (55 to 70%) is stabilized in the cabinet.
IMPORTANT: THE HUMIDITY RATE CAN BE AROUND 45% OR EVEN LESS IF
THE APPLIANCE IS USED IN A ROOM WITH EXTREME AMBIENT CONDITIONS
AND/OR IF THE ROOM IS VERY DRY.
6.6.2 Humidity settings
The indicated relative humidity value corresponds to a short-term average, which is
regularly updated. There is nothing to worry about if the displayed relative humidity is
momentarily a little lower. This time interval, which is usually very short, is not
