Room for 154 bottles
The 154 bottles rest on 6 shelves made of beech wood. Each shelf pulls out up to 80 per cent on ball-bearing telescopic runners, so you can easily reach the bottles at the back too.
Swisscave bases this on Bordeaux bottles with all shelves in place. Larger bottles, such as a 1.5-litre magnum, go on the top or bottom shelf. The image shows the bottle layout according to Swisscave.
Glass door and lighting
The door is made of three layers of UV-resistant, gas-filled insulating glass. This keeps harmful light out and the cold in. A slim edge of black anodised, brushed aluminium frames the glass. A handle in anodised, brushed aluminium is available as an option. The body is made of black coated steel.
Blue ceiling lighting lights the bottles from above; a separate switch turns the lighting on or off.
How the WL455DF stores your wine
Two zones: you set the top zone from 9 to 20 °C and the bottom zone from 5 to 16 °C. Combined fan and convection cooling distributes the cold air evenly.
Even in a cold room: thanks to the winter heating function, the cabinet holds the set temperature when the room around it gets colder. With climate class SN-T, it works in a room between 10 and 43 °C.
Clean air: two active carbon filters keep the air inside fresh, so outside odours do not affect your wine. Swisscave recommends a humidity of 50 to 70 per cent.
Peace and quiet for the wine: the cabinet has a vibration-free design and runs on a speed-controlled Embraco Fullmotion compressor with a quiet fan. The noise level is 38 dB(A). The refrigerant is the environmentally friendly R600a.
Controls, alarms and security
On the control panel, two digital displays show both the set and the actual temperature. If the temperature drifts or the door is left open, you will hear a signal. After a power cut, the cabinet remembers the set temperature.
- Audible temperature alarm and door alarm
- Temperature memory after a power failure
- Door lock
- Separate on/off switch for the lighting
- Automatic defrost with a condensation water container
- Tilt protection and adjustable feet for uneven floors
- Shelf trims available in 5 colours of brushed, anodised aluminium
