This article explains how to use the BWK-45 IX by Boretti.
Using the wine cellar
Bottle ageing compartment
The ageing compartment's main function is that of guaranteeing that your wines are pre- served in optimal conditions. The wine cellar's temperature was factory pre- set at 15° C, a temperature that is considered optimal for most wines. Manual temperature control Should you need to adjust the temperature in- side the wine cellar, follow the instructions below:

2. Press the button (see Control Panel) for one second. The temperature will begin to blink. Wine has a complex nature and it derives from a long and slow process. In order to best ex- press its attributes, very specific conditions 3. Press the or buttons until you reach are necessary. All wines are preserved at the same tempera- ture, but, depending on their different charac- teristics, wines are served and tasted at very different temperatures. Therefore, just as for manufacturers' wine cel- lars, for your new appliance, the absolute tem- perature value is not important for preserving your wine. Rather, the constant temperature through time is important. Wine preservation is ideal at any temperature, as long as that temperature does not vary. the desired temperature.
4. Wait 5 seconds for the temperature to stop blinking.
5. Wait until the wine cellar reaches its tem- perature before you place the wine bottles inside. The inside light does not go on (or it goes off temporarily) when the inside temperature goes over 24°C. This allows you to reach the pre- set temperature more quickly. Taking out the wooden shelves
WARNING:
The wooden shelves are not sliding. Do not take them out when loaded with bottles, to prevent the risk of the bottles breaking. You can take the shelves out for cleaning only when they are not loaded with any bottles. Stocking the wine bottles Standard 24-bottle stock The 24-bottle stock (for standard, mixed, and renana bottles) is recommended for wines that need to be visible and easily removed. The wooden shelf can safely hold up to 22 bottles. Standard 24 Bottles (100% lying down) 3 shelves Position each bottle into the slots on the 3 wooden shelves. 6 bottles can be placed on the bottom of the wine cellar. We suggest placing the longer bottles (Rhine wine type) at the cellar base. The base is sui- table for hosting larger bottles. Preservation 28 Bottles (100% lying down) 1 shelf Champagne bottle stock Champagne bottles are larger than standard bottles. They must be placed onto the base of the wine cellar, which can hold up to 5. If you want to stock more than 5 Champagne bottles in your wine cellar, remove the 3th shelf and stock the bottles in two rows (placing the bottles in the second row between those on the bottom row). This will hold up to 9 bottles.
