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. This particular wine
refrigerator is designed with a red wine temperature range and is not intended for long term storage of white wine.
White wine can be stored in this unit in the short term, but you must flash chill your white wine to bring it down to the
proper serving temperature prior to consuming.
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 display the ambient temperature and then the internal cabinet temperature. 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 not be saved and the unit will return
to the original 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.
