What niche does the WIB-45F-CLASS need?

Exterior height x width x depth: 45.3 x 59 x 56 cm. The exact niche sizes are in the installation drawing under downloads.

What is one zone good for?

The whole cabinet keeps one temperature, adjustable between 5 to 20 °C. Around 12 °C you store and age wine; lower or higher you set it to serving temperature for white or red.

Do magnum bottles fit in the WIB-45F-CLASS?

Room for 22 bottles

The 22 bottles rest on 3 shelves made of beech wood. The shelves are mixed: half are made for Bordeaux bottles, half for Burgundy bottles. The shelves pull out on ball-bearing telescopic runners.

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 glass door has double, UV-resistant glazing, so your wine stays protected from light. There is no frame: the door is all glass. The handle is made of anodised, brushed aluminium. The body is made of black coated steel.

White all-round lighting shows off your bottles; a separate switch turns the lighting on or off.

How the WIB-45F-CLASS stores your wine

Constant temperature: combined fan and convection cooling distributes the cold air throughout the cabinet. You set the temperature between 5 and 20 °C.

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: the active carbon filter keeps 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 an efficient JP-HE compressor with a quiet fan. The noise level is 38 dB(A). The refrigerant is the environmentally friendly R600a.

Controls, alarms and security

You operate the cabinet via the control panel, which switches between Celsius and Fahrenheit. 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.
