Operation Instructions
The wine cellar should be placed in an area where the ambient temperature is between 32-100 degrees Fahrenheit. If
the ambient temperature is above or below this range, the performance of the unit may be affected. For example,
placing your unit in extreme cold or hot conditions may cause the interior temperatures to fluctuate.
Your Allavino Wine Cellar includes an operating panel on the front. The operating panel includes several features to
operate and control the temperature of the wine refrigerator, including:
ON/OFF - Turns the unit on or off
UPPER ZONE - Displays the temperature of the upper zone
UP/DOWN Buttons
–
Increases or decreases the temperature in 1 degree increments
LOWER ZONE - Displays the temperature of the lower zone
°C / °F
–
Indicates whether the displayed temperatures are in Celsius and Fahrenheit
°C / °F Button
–
Toggles the displayed temperatures between Celsius and Fahrenheit
LIGHT - Turns the interior light on or off
RED/WHITE/SPARKLE
–
Indicates whether the set temperature is ideal for storing mostly red, white, or sparkling wines
SELECT

If you are going on vacation, you may leave the wine cellar operating during vacations of less than three weeks. If the
appliance will not be used for several months, you should remove all items and turn off the appliance. Clean and dry the
interior thoroughly. To prevent mold growth, leave the door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary.
Setting Temperature
This Allavino Wine Cellar has a wide enough temperature range to store both red and 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. There must be at least a 4 degree difference
between the top zone and the bottom zone. 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.
