WINE CELLAR FEATURES 
AND USE

Temperature Adjustments/Control

Important note: In order to operate effi ciently, 
thermoelectric products should be in an 
environment with an ambient temperature of 
not more than 70°F (21°C).

Dual Zone Operation

Setting the temperature controls (manually) 

At any time, you can manually adjust the 
temperature. Simply press the 

-

 button on the 

chosen zone control panel to lower the 
temperature and the 

+

 button to increase the 

temperature. Refer to wine storage chart on page 
7 for recommended temperature settings.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
The built-in microprocessor will not allow the 
user to set the temperature above 68°F (20°C) 
or below 39°F (7°C) because wine should not 
be stored outside this range. When initially 
turned on, the LED will show the default 
setting at 55˚F. Your wine cellar has an 
electronic temperature control on the front of 
the unit. You can set the temperature of your 
wine cellar at any setting from 39˚ to 68˚F. the 
LED will then display the set temperature 

NOTE: White wine temperature is kept at a 
lower temperature than red wine. Please note 
that the actual cabinet temperature in a 
thermal electric unit is dependent on the 
ambient temperature. You may set the cabinet 
temperature within range but the unit may not 
reach that temperature.

For this model, when the ambient temperature 
is 77˚F, the lowest temperature that can be 
reached is 46-48˚F. When ambient temperature 
is 70˚F, the cabinet temperature can reach 
approximately 39-41˚F.

INTERIOR LIGHT CONTROL

Your wine cellar has two lights for your viewing 
pleasure. The interior display light option allows 
you to showcase your personal collection of wines. 
To activate this feature, press the display light 
button. The interior light will remain on until the 
light button is pressed again. Under normal 
operation it is best for the light to remain off.
