OPERATINGYOUR WINE REFRIGERATOR
It is recommended that you keep the wine refrigerator in a place where the ambient
temperature is below 75°F. If the ambient temperature is above or below recommended
temperature, the performance of the unit may be affected. For example, placing in extreme
cold or hot conditions may cause interior temperature to fluctuate. The range of setting
temperature may not be reached.
**In order to reach the lowest temperature (lower zone), the best ambient temperature will be
around 60-65°F
The display reflects the temperature at the center of the wine refrigerator. Temperature may
fluctuate approximate +/-7 degrees at the top to the bottom.
The temperature may fluctuate depending on whether or not the interior light is on or off or
whether the bottles are located on the upper/middle or lower section.
How to use the press-buttons on the Display Panel:
You can set the temperature as you desire by using the press buttons. Use the “▲” and “▼” to
adjust the temperature by 1°F among 46-64°F for lower zone or 54-64°F.for upper zone.
You can turn the interior light on or off by pressing the “light” button.

about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.

water.

Storage
Shelving is meant to hold standard 750ml size bottles, using larger Pinot Noir / Rhone size
bottles may limit the capacity. If you would like to store larger bottles you can easily remove
any of the shelves. This will also prevent scraping the labels on the larger bottles.

storing temperature for the all wine, both red and white, is 53°F - 57°F.
Moving Your Wine Refrigerator
zRemove all the bottles.
zSecurely tape down the shelves inside your wine refrigerator.
