Temperature Control
The temperature range of the wine chiller is from
the low forties to the mid sixties. This appliance
is not a refrigerator and does not maintain
temperatures like a refrigerator (below 41°F ).
Do not install the wine chiller where the
temperature will go below 55°F (13°C) or above
90°F (32°C).
The RED WINE setting will provide a temperature of
approximately 55ºF (13ºC), which is the optimum
storage temperature for red wine.
The WHITE WINE setting will provide a temperature
of approximately 45ºF (7ºC), which is the optimum
serving temperature for white wine.
As with any refrigeration-type product, there is a
slight temperature variance at different locations
within the cabinet.
Temperatures at the bottom of the cabinet will be
cooler than temperatures at the top of the cabinet.
Position your wine inventory accordingly (i.e. white
wines in the cooler zones and red in the warmer
zones).
Inserting Wine Bottles
The top five full extension drawers each hold eight
bottles, two deep with the necks alternating front
to back or nine bottles, alternating with necks
pointing inward.
The bottom two full extension drawers hold six
bottles each and are loaded with necks facing
the rear. Tall bottles should not be loaded on the
bottom drawer because they may prevent the
door from closing.
Loading Tips and Suggestions
• The bottles on the top full extension drawer,
directly under the light, will be exposed to a
slightly higher temperature when the light is on.
Position your wines accordingly and remember
to turn off the light when it is no longer needed.
• Keep wines that you plan to use for everyday
drinking and entertaining on the front half of
the full extension drawers where labels are
completely visible. Place wines for aging or
longer term storage in the rear.
To set the control, turn it to the RED WINE setting.
Once the bottles are loaded, allow at least 24
hours before making any adjustments to the initial
setting.
NOTE: This unit is designed for storing and cooling
beverages. It is not intended for the storage of
perishable foods.
