STORAGE
Many bottles may differ in size and dimensions. As such the actual number of bottles you may be able
to store may vary. You can place 44 standard bottles in this wine cooler. The upper zone can hold as
many as 16 wine bottles (2 rows of 8 bottles) and the lower zone can hold as many as 28 wine bottles
(2 rows x 8 bottles, plus 1 row x 12 bottles (6+6 stacked up)).
SHELVES
To prevent damaging the door gasket, make sure to have the door all the way opened (beyond 90
degrees) when pulling shelves out of the rail compartment. For easy access to the bottles, you must
pull the shelves approximately 1/3 out of the rail compartment.
To remove the shelves out of the rail pull each shelf approximately 1/3 out. Use a long flat screwdriver
to press down the right plastic notch as shown in Figure A and at the same time lift the left plastic
notch as shown in Figure B. Then proceed to pull out the shelf slowly.
To replace a shelve place the sides of the shelves back onto the supporting guides of the cabinet and
push back until the shelf tabs slide into place. NOTE: ENSURE THAT THE TABS ARE FIRMLY
LOCKED IN PLACE BEFORE STORING ANY BOTTLES.
CHARCOAL FILTRATION SYSTEM
Your wine is a living object that breathes through the cork of its bottle. In order to preserve the quality
and taste of your fine wines, they must be stored at the ideal temperature and ambient conditions.
Your cooler is equipped with an active charcoal filtration system to ensure air purity, cooling
efficiency, and to maintain an odor free cabinet for the storage of your wines. The filter assembly is
located at the rear panel inside your cooler. Keep in mind, that this filter must be changed every 12
months.
Remove the bottles of wine stored on the two (2) shelves in front of the filter.
Remove the shelves and set aside to be replaced once you have changed the filter.
Hold the filter and turn it at 45 degrees in the counter-clockwise direction and then pull it out.
Remove the existing filter and replace with a new one.
Put the new filter into the hole and then turn the filter at 45 degrees in clockwise direction.
