Main Features & Benefits of Transtherm Wine Cooler Refrigerators
Transtherm wine refrigerators ensure stable temperature even placed in a room with quite hot temperature (can be used from 0 ºC up to 35 ºC, 32-95 ºF).
- High-quality thermal insulation for maintaining the constant temperature: the insulation of the wine cabinets consists of 3 layers: the internal wall is made of polyurethane which also absorbs vibration, the exterior walls, these 2 layers are filled with 4.5 cm thick, high-density expanded foam.
- Compressors mounted on rubber shock to absorb vibration and noise./li>
- The thermal pump system built in the units guarantees constant, optimum humidity (55 – 80%) and air circulation to keep the wooden corks moist and prevent molding.
- Stout but still sleek cabinets with well-built solid beech wood shelves.
- Top of the line control panel for temperature setting and display.
- Adjustable legs for easy placement and maximum stability.
- Energy efficient, eco-friendly appliance wine refrigerators- the largest units (Ermitage) use only 0.8 kWh/24 hours.

The Transtherm Elegance wine cooler models are available only in black cabinet color.
The Transtherm Prestige wine cabinets can be selected in 5 color finishes (standard stock color is also black) and all medium size and large units are available in brushed stainless steel with option of solid door or glass door.
By combining two Transtherm wine cabinet models with opposing hinges you have the benefit of creating a wine storage unit that suits your needs the best.
