Setting Temperature
The Allavino Wine Cellar has a wide enough temperature range to store either red or white wine, depending on your
preference. 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. White wine can be
stored at red wine temperatures for a short period of time (less than three months), and flash chilled before serving.
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.
Care and Maintenance
Cleaning your wine cellar:
•
Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all items including all shelves.
•
Wash the inside surfaces with warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2
tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.
•
Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution.
•
Wring the excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning area of the controls, or any electrical parts.
•
Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean soft
cloth.
•
Do not use steel wool or a steel brush on the stainless steel. These will contaminate the stainless steel with
steel particles and rusting may occur.
•
Dust the back of the unit twice yearly. Make sure the power is off before cleaning.
•
It is recommended to clean the unit completely inside and out yearly to maximize the longevity of the product.
