SETTING THE TEMPERATURE CONTROLS
ELECTRICAL DUAL ZONE (Model WCI45B
1. Each cooling compartment of the wine cooler (upper & lower) is independently
controlled.
2. To set the temperature: Connect the power cord to a properly grounded outlet. In the
event of a power interruption, all previous temperature settings are automatically
erased and each compartment will default to a preset temperature setting of: 6oc for
upper compartment and 12oc for lower compartment.
3. Set the desired cooling temperature by pressing the buttons adjacent to the “set
upper/set lower” program. Each depression of the buttons will scroll through the
available temperature settings (for each compartment) in increments of 1 degree. The
temperature selected will flash in the LED display for approximately 5 seconds, then
revert back to display the temperature of the internal cabinet
4. Upper compartment: The temperature setting can be adjusted from 5oc to 10oc.
5. Lower compartment: The temperature setting can be adjusted from 10oc to 18oc.
6. To view the “set” temperature. (anytime) press and hold the corresponding button for
approximately 5 seconds, the “set” temperature will temporarily “flash” in the LED
display for 5 seconds.
7. Flashing LED = Set Temperature
8. Steady LED = Cabinet Temperature
9. This unit has the option to display temperatures in either Celsius or Fahrenheit. To
change the setting, press and hold both buttons (Set Upper/Set Lower) simultaneously
for approximately 5 seconds, a prompt (beep) will sound and the blue pilot light
adjacent to the C or F mode illuminates.
NOTE:
To temporarily disconnect (stop) the cooling cycle, you must disconnect the power cord from the
electrical outlet. NOTE: There is no “OFF” position on the electronic control panel. When
disengaging cooling (operation) for long periods of time, leave the door partially open to prevent
mould/mildew from forming inside the cabinet.
NOTE:
Always wait 4 minutes before restarting the unit if operation has been interrupted.

MANUAL CONTROL (Model WCF32)
1. The initial setting is NORMAL. Please run the wine cellar empty at least 30 minutes before
adjustment.
2. “MAX” can be adjusted from 5oc to 9oc . “NORMAL” can be adjusted from 10oc to 14oc .

INTERIOR LIGHTS
The interior lights operate “automatically” with the opening/closing of the door. The light turns on
when the door is open and turns off when the door is closed.
DEFROSTING/CONDENSATION
Your wine cellar is designed with an “Auto-cycle” defrost system. During the “Off Cycle” the
refrigerated surfaces of the wine cellar (interior rear wall) defrost automatically. The defrost
water is channeled into a condensate drain pan which is located at the back of the wine cellar
next to compressor from where it evaporates.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Upon receiving your wine cooler, leave the door open for 24 hours. When cleaning the inside of
the wine cooler you can use a solution of a tablespoon of baking soda to one (1) quart of water,
or a mild soap suds solution, or some mild detergent. Wood shelving does not require cleaning.
To clean the exterior cabinet of your wine cooler, use a soft damp cloth with mild detergent or
appliance cleaner.
STORAGE OF WINE
The humidor should be positioned in the center of the top rack in each compartment.
To achieve maximum storage capacity, it will be necessary to position (store) the bottles
alternately on the racks. (See below diagram)
