Setting Temperature
Different varietals of wine require different temperature settings. Red wine is generally stored between 50 and 65
degrees Fahrenheit, while white wines are stored between 40 and 50 degrees Fahrenheit. The Allavino Dual-Zone Wine
Cellar allows you to store both your red and white wines at the same time, you can set both zones to 50 degrees if you
are only storing one type.
You can set the temperature as you desire by touching the UP or DOWN button. When you touch the buttons for the
first time, the LED readout will show the original temperature set at the manufacturing facility. Each push of the button
will adjust the temperature by one degree in the desired direction. Please be aware that the desired temperatures may
fluctuate depending on whether the interior light is ON or OFF and depending on the orientation of the bottles.
PLEASE NOTE:
In the event of a power interruption, all previous temperature settings will be automatically saved and each
compartment will return to the previous temperature setting.
If the unit is unplugged, loses power, or is turned off, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting. Attempting
to restart the wine cellar before this time has elapsed may prevent it from starting.
When you use the wine cellar for the first time or restart the wine cellar after having been shut off for a long
time, there will be a few degrees variance between the temperature you select and the one indicated on the
LED readout for the first few hours of operation. After a few hours of operation, the temperature will normalize
to the displayed temperature.
Racking Configuration
Disperse your bottles evenly throughout the unit so as not to concentrate weight in any one area. This also helps to
provide an even temperature range throughout the unit. Make sure that bottles are not all grouped together either at
the top or bottom of the cabinet. The maximum capacity per shelf is 55 lbs. Never try to pull out more than one rolling
shelf at a time as it can cause the appliance to tip forward. Also, be careful that your bottles do not touch either the back
of the cabinet or the step at the bottom because contact with these cold surfaces can cause ice to form in the bottle.
The Allavino Wine Cellar has wood presentation shelves that glide smoothly on ball-bearing tracks which allow easy
access to your entire collection. The top 4 shelves will hold up to 5 regular size bottles and the bottom shelf will hold 3
larger diameter bottles or 7 regular size bottles by stacking 4 bottles on top of the three bottles that fit in the grooves.
The overall bottle capacity will vary depending upon the size of your bottles. If you have larger diameter bottles, you can
remove a shelf to accommodate them, but that will affect your overall bottle capacity.
You can remove a shelf to accommodate larger diameter bottles on the shelf below it. To remove a shelf, pull it out as
far as you can. There are levers on each side of the shelf near the rollers. Left the lever on the left hand side and push
down the lever on the right hand side to remove the shelf from the tracks.
