PRODUCT OVERVIEW
With a triple glazed UV resistant door, anti-vibration technology and winter heating as standard in the premium edition range, this wine cooler will protect your wine through daily and seasonal fluctuations in warm or cool climates. The Swisscave WLB-460FHU-MIX comes with a range of handles, or without a handle, to offer a perfectly centred symmetry for your kitchen, restaurant or bar and can be used as a freestanding or built-in wine cooler.
The special feature of this unit is the humidity management which can be manually set between 60-85%. For those with a fine wine collection where the ambient air in the room has the potential to get extra wet or dry and who are concerned about label damage, oxidised wine or dried out corks the manual humidity management may be the feature they need.
This wine fridge has an active carbon filter for longer term storage possibilities plus a lock on the door and an audible alarm if the temperature fluctuates meaning your wine collection is well protected. The anti-vibration shelves also ensure against any sediment disturbance. The "winter heating" function also protects against any dips in temperature in the room housing the wine cooler. The internal heating and cooling system means this wine cooler can also be placed in a garage as well as a home.
The 14 sliding Beech shelves give instant and easy access to your wine and avoid stacking bottles. Larger formats such as magnums can be stored on the top or bottom shelves. This wine cooler is very quiet and efficient thanks to the quality parts Swisscave use in their Premium range. A truly, top quality wine cooler that will keep your wine collection cellaring perfectly over the years.
