Operation Instructions
The wine cellar should be placed in an area where the ambient temperature range is between 65-80 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 interior temperatures to fluctuate.
Your Allavino Wine Cellar includes an operating panel on the front of the unit. The operating panel includes several
features to operate and control the temperature of the wine refrigerator, including:
Light - Turns the interior light on or off
°C / °F - Toggles the temperature display between Celsius and Fahrenheit
Thermometer Button
–
Press to begin adjusting the temperature
UP/DOWN Buttons
–
Adjusts the temperature in 1 degree increments (40°F - 65°F)
Power Button - Press to turn on/off the appliance
The unit has a locking door and two keys are provided. To lock the door, turn the key clockwise and turn it
counterclockwise to unlock the door. Keep the keys in a safe place.
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
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.
To set the temperature, first press the thermometer button. Once the numbers on the temperature display begin to
flash, press the UP or DOWN buttons to adjust the temperature as you desire. 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.
