HOW TO USE
As with any refrigeration product, there is a slight temperature difference
within the cellar cabinet. In this Wine Cellar, the lower shelves provide a slightly
cooler temperature than the upper shelves. When storing both red and white
wines, it is best to store the white wine on the lower shelves where the
temperature is slightly cooler.
Preset Temperature Selection
•Press the RED or WHITE buttons to choose a preset temperature for Red
or White Wine.
• The programmed temperature for red or white wine will be displayed for a
few seconds. The cellar will revert back to the actual internal temperature
of the cellar and will work towards the preset temperature.
Temperature Selection
The temperature of the cellar is controlled by the temperature up (p) and
temperature down (q) pads. The temperature can be set anywhere between
4°C to 18°C (39°F to 64°F) as follows:
NOTE: to switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit press and hold the up arrow
(p) for 2 seconds.
• Press the SET button until you hear a "beep" sound (approximately
2 seconds).
• Press the pads por qto increase or decrease the preferred
temperature in increments of one degree.
• Press SET to confirm your choice - if confirmation is not made within
10 seconds the cellar will confirm your choice automatically.
