OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
SSeettttiinngg tthhee CCoonnttrroollss
The total available temperature range of the unit is from 40 - 43
0
F (4.4
-
- 6.1
0
C) to 64 - 66
0
F (17.8 - 18.9
0
C). The higher the
number selected, the cooler temperature within the unit. As with any refrigeration product, there is a slight temperature
variance at different locations within the cabinet. For example, the coolest bottles will be in the rear of the four middle shelves.
The bottles on the top two shelves will be 3 - 7
o
F warmer. This is the warmest location. The bottles on the front of the middle
four shelves will be 1 - 4
o
F warmer than the rear of the shelves. Position your wine inventory accordingly (i.e. white wines in the
cooler zones and red wines in the warmer zones.) To start your wine cellar, use a screw driver to turn the control clockwise to
the middle thermostat setting. Once the bottles are loaded, allow at least 48 hours for the unit to stabilize before making any
adjustments to the initial setting.

setting.
•The motor will start and stop often. It must do this to maintain the temperature setting.

LOADING RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Each of the top six racks holds 8 bottles with necks alternating front to back. The bottom wood cradle holds six bottles for
a total of 54 bottles. Tall bottles should not be loaded on the bottom rack because they may prevent the door from closing.
2. The bottom rack may be removed for storing “jug” wines. You may store magnum and other large bottles on the upper
right and left positions of the cabinet shelving or on any of the middle racks by removing the rack directly above them. to
remove the racks, lift up slightly and slide out.
3. Position white wines on the middle or lower racks and red wines on the upper racks. The bottles on the top rack directly
under the light will be exposed to a slightly higher temperature when the light is on. REMEMBER TO TURN OFF THE
LIGHT WHEN IT IS NO LONGER NEEDED.
4. Keep wines that you plan to use for everyday drinking and entertaining on the front half of the racks where labels are
completely visible. Place wines for aging or longer term storage in the rear.
