Initial Setup
Once you have plugged the unit into an electrical outlet,
letthe unit run for at least30 minutes to acclimate itself before
making any adjustments.During this lime the Red Wine light may stay on.
Temperature Adjustments: seeFig.#1

accommodate temperature requirements for red or white wines.
If you store mostly white wines, pressthe 'White Wine" button and the
wine cooler will maintain an average temperature between
45" to 50" F.Pushingthe "Red Wine" buttonwill yield an
average temperature between 55" to 60" F.
The wine cooler can be set to any temperature you desire to
accommodate your wine storagerequirements. To setthe temperature,
press both the "White Wine" and "RedWine" buttons simultaneously
and hold for approximately 3 seconds. Now you are in temperature set
mode. Decrease the temperature by pushing the "White Wine" button
and increasethe temperature by pressingthe nRedWine" button.
Pressingthe appropriate button 3 timeswill adjustthe temperature 3
degrees, press4timesequals 4degrees, 5 timesequals 5degrees, and

There will be a 3 degree variance +/- between the temperature you
selectand the temperature indicated on the LEDreadout.
Thisoccursbecause the wine cooler activatesand deactivates
trying to maintain your desired temperature. There is often a
1O"variance between thetop and bottom shelvesof thewine cooler.
Therefore, if you hove set the wine cooler for 50" and hove a
mix of red and white wines, you may want to put thewhite wine
on the bottom shelfwhere the temperature will be 45" F,and place the
wine on the top shelfwhere the temperature will be 55" F.
