OPERATING YOUR WINE CELLAR
IMPORTANT: Do not plug in the wine cellar for 24 hours after unit is set in place. Failure
to do so may result in the unit working improperly.
Plug in the wine cellar to turn it on automatically. (After the unit has been on for
about 6 hours, the compressor will shut down for thirty minutes to allow for automatic
defrosting.)
If you want to use the Automatic Temperature (default) setting, do nothing further.
The unit will automatically set the temperature in the compartment at 55° F (13° C). If
you want to set another temperature, see below.
Temperature Setting
Wine Storage Temperatures: While wines store best at temperatures around 56-58° F,
your unit also allows you to store wine at drinking temperatures. Generally, RED WINE
should be kept at 60-62° F and WHITE WINE, which is usually served chilled, should be
kept at 54-55° F. Sparkling wines should be kept at about 46° F.
To adjust the temperature, press the SET button, then use the keys to navigate to the
preferred temperature. The range of set temperatures is from 46 to 64° F. For exam-
ple, if you are storing red wine, you may want to set a temperature of 61° F. When the
correct temperature appears in the display window of the control panel, press SET
again to confirm. The actual temperature inside the unit will now appear in the win-
dow. This temperature will vary depending on the number of bottles stored and how
frequently the door is opened.
If the temperature of the room is over 80° F, set the unit temperature between 50°
and 55° F to avoid overheating the compressor. If room temperature is between 64°
and 80° F, set the unit temperature in the range of 46° to 60° F.
PLEASE NOTE: Cold air falls and warmer air rises, and there will be a temperature vari-
ation from the bottom to the top of the unit. The temperature sensor is located near
the center of the wine storage compartment and records the temperature in that
vicinity. The temperature at the bottom of the unit will always be slightly colder. Red
wines do best near the top of the wine cellar, while white and sparkling wines thrive in
the cooler temperatures of the lower racks.
To temporarily stop the cooling cycle, unplug the wine cellar. To shut it down for
longer periods of time, disconnect the plug and leave the door partially open.
NOTE: If you unplug the wine cellar, allow 3 minutes before plugging back in. The unit
will not restart in less than 3 minutes.
