Operation and Controls
It is recommended that you install the wine cooler in a place where the ambient temperature is between
(68°F - 78°F). If the ambient temperature is above or below recommended temperatures, the performance
of the unit may be affected. For example, placing in extreme cold or hot conditions may cause interior
temperature to fluctuate thus the set temperature may not be achievable.
SETTING THE TEMPERATURE
The unit has two separate temperature zones. The temperature range of upper zone can be set between
54ºF and 66ºF while the bottom zone can be set between 46ºF and 66ºF. To set the desired temperature,
press the “▼” button to lower the temperature or “▲” button to raise the temperature on the control panel.
The temperature display will flash for 5 seconds indicating that the desired temperature is set and will revert
back to its actual internal temperature.
NOTE: The temperature inside the wine cooler is dependent on the ambient temperature (room tempera-
ture).
INTERIOR LIGHT
You can turn on and off the interior light by pressing the “Light” button on the control panel.
Note: If zone divider is installed, only the upper zone will be illuminated when interior light is turned on.
LEVELING THE APPLIANCE
It is important for your appliance to be leveled in order to work properly.
It can be raised or lowered by rotating each of the feet on the bottom of
the machine. If you find that the surface is not level, rotate the feet until
the appliance becomes level .You may need to make several adjust-
ments to level it. We recommend using a carpenter’s level to check the
machine.
Note: The WC-181DS has 3 large leveling legs and 1 small leveling leg
under the door hinge while the WC-241DS has 4 large levelling legs.
1. Place a carpenter’s level on top of the product to see if the appliance
is level from front to back and side to side.
2.
Adjust the height of the feet as follows: Turn the leveling feet to the
right to lower that side of the refrigerator. Turn the leveling feet to the
left to raise that side of the refrigerator.
BOTTLE CAPACITY
The listed bottle capacity for your wine cooler is an estimated maximum capacity base on a standard 750ml
wine bottle. For other size bottles, the capacity will vary.
WINE SHELVES
The WC-181DS wine cooler is equipped with 4 scalloped stainless shelves and 1 zone divider, while the WC
-
241DS wine cooler is equipped with 6 scalloped stainless shelves and 1 zone divider. If you are having
trouble fitting the stated listed number of bottles of wine in the wine cooler, try flipping the wine racks over.
To prevent damage to the door gasket, make sure the door is all the way opened when pulling the shelves
out.
For easy access of the wine bottles, you must pull the shelves approximately ⅓ out of the railing.
When removing the shelves out of the railing, make sure to remove all items first.
To remove the shelves, pull the shelf forward through the rail carefully.
NOTE: It is recommended that the zone divider is installed in the middle of the cabinet. This setup creates
an even temperature distribution for each zone which results in the most efficient operation. If the zone divid-
er is not installed in the middle of the cabinet, the wine cooler may not be able to achieve the set tempera-
ture of both zones.
