Insert Wine Bottles
The wine rack roll-out shelf holds eight bottles. See
figure 4 for typical wine bottle orientation. Wine
rack can be located at the middle or bottom part of
the cabinet interior. For red wines, place wine shelf
at bottom shelf position in the cabinet. Then put a
glass shelf in the next higher position. For white
and sparkling wines, put the wine shelf on the
middle shelf position in the cabinet. Place the
remaining shelves as desired. (See figure 5) Also,
there is a fixed, wooden, bottle cradle in the
bottom, step section of the cabinet. Six bottles of
wine may be stored there.
Loading Tips and Suggestions
The glass shelves and fixed position wire rack are
for general beverage storage, such as beer and
soft drinks. Opened wine bottles and tall beverage
containers may be stored on the glass shelf closest
to the cabinet top. Just lift the hinged section of the
fixed position upper wire rack to provide clearance
for the bottles and/or containers to stand upright.
The wooden, bottom bottle cradle may be removed
for storing “jug” wines. Just remove the two screws
that secure the cradle to the cabinet floor.
You can store magnum bottles and other large
bottles on any of the shelves (except for the top
shelf) by removing the shelf directly above them or
placing the shelf at a position allowing for proper
clearance.
Commodities on the top rack directly under
the light will be exposed to a slightly higher
temperature when the light is on. REMEMBER TO
TURN OFF THE LIGHT WHEN IT IS NO LONGER
NEEDED.
Keep wines that you plan to use for everyday
drinking and entertaining on the front half of the
racks where labels are completely visible. Place
wines for aging or longer term storing in the rear.
Roll-out Shelves
The roll-out shelves may be pulled out
approximately 14 inches to facilitate loading and
retrieval. Do not lean on or press down heavily on
the shelves. Doing so may damage the shelves or
their contents. Pull out shelves gently and carefully
to minimize any possible item shifting. To maintain
stability, avoid pulling out more than one shelf at
any time.
Wine Rack
Because bottles are not stacked on top of each
other, you can easily view and access your
inventory without disturbing other bottles. (See
figure 6)

Condenser
The condenser tubing inside the cabinet does not
require frequent cleaning; however, satisfactory
cooling depends on adequate ventilation over the
coils. Be sure that nothing obstructs the required air
flow openings in front of the cabinet. At least once
or twice a year brush or vacuum lint and dirt from the
condenser for efficient performance by unscrewing
the grille on the bottom front of the cabinet.
Cabinet
The painted cabinet can be washed with mild soap
and water and thoroughly rinsed with clear water.
Never use abrasive scouring cleaners.
Interior
Wash interior compartment with mild soap and
water. Do not use an abrasive cleaner, solvent, polish
cleaner or undiluted detergent.
Glass Door
Use a glass cleaner or mild soap and water and
soft cloth to clean the glass door model. Do not use
any abrasive cleaners.
Door Gasket
The vinyl gasket may be cleaned with mild soap
and water, a baking soda solution or a mild scour-
ing powder.
Light Tube Replacement
WARNING! DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD
BEFORE ATTEMPTING LIGHT TUBE REPLACE-
MENT. Failure to do so may result in an electrical
shock that could severely injure you.
This product uses two, 6 watt light tubes to illumi-
nate the interior of the wine cellar. The light tube is
a very reliable electrical component, but should it
not function properly, please call the dealer you
purchased your wine cellar from for a replacement
light tube. Use only an original equipment light
tube from your dealer or manufacturer.
To replace a light tube, use a hex-head driver,
remove the two hex-head screws that hold a cover
plate over the back section of the light tube. Set the
screws and cover plate aside for re-assembly later.
Using a small flat-blade screwdriver, gently lever
the front section of the light tube down to allow it
to be pulled clear of the light housing.
Disconnect the two insulated electrical connectors
from the cabinet’s electrical cable and discard the
old light tube. Reconnect the electrical connector of
the new light tube to the cabinet’s electrical cable
connectors. Make sure it is secure and fully
installed.
Carefully realign the light tube’s electrical terminal
back into the rear of the light enclosure channel
making sure not to crimp them. Gently insert the
light tube along the length of the light enclosure
channel. Press the light tube gently into the light
enclosure channel. Only a small part of the light
tube should project below the ceiling of the
wine cellar. DO NOT USE A HAMMER TO FIT
THE LIGHT TUBE.
Place the light tube terminal cover plate back in the
original position on the light enclosure’s flange. Re-
use the original two screws to secure it in place.
Plug the wine cellar into the electrical socket.
Check to see if the light tubes operate properly.
Your light tube’s replacement is complete.
The light tubes are not covered by your warranty.
Replacement tubes can be obtained from your
service provider or from Marvel Industries.
In the Event of a Power Failure
Most power failures are corrected within two hours
and will not affect the unit’s temperature providing
you minimize the number of door openings while
the power is off. A gradual rise in temperature
should not have any adverse effect on your wine if
power is out for a longer period. If it is extremely
hot, you may want to move your wines to the
coolest location you can find until power is
restored.
