*This appliance is designed for indoor use. It may
be used outdoors provided it is installed under cover
in a dry location and operated within the required
room temperature. This system is equipped with a
low power consumption, TEC cooling system, that
cools the inside of the bottle bay to a temperature
approximately 25°F less than the temperature out-
side the unit. Therefore, the ability to cool wine is
limited by higher room temperatures.
Introduction
•
There are three factors that affect wine preser-
vation; oxidation, temperature and light. Your
wine dispensing system limits the effects of
these factors to provide a winery fresh taste for
up to 60 days after opening the bottle.
Your wine dispensing system uses argon gas,
which is heavier than air. The system injects
argon into the wine bottle and displaces any
residual air so that the wine is exposed only to
the argon, not oxygen. The unit's cooling system
and tinted door minimize the effects of tempera-
ture and light on the wine as well.
These features allow you to uncork and serve
multiple vintages from your personal wine collec-
tion without having to throw away left over wine
at the end of the evening. With the purchase of
additional dispensing heads, you can remove
bottles of wine (with the dispensing head still
attached) that you are not currently using and
store them for later use in the refrigerator. The
wine will continue to be preserved for up to two
weeks because the argon gas stays in the bottle
as long as the dispensing head is attached.
•
All of the parts of the wine dispensing system
that touch the wine can be easily cleaned to
maintain sanitary dispensing.
•
The optional two zone temperature kit, is for
storing red wines at a higher temperature than
white wines. When the kit is installed, the tem-
perature for the left two bottles stays approxi-
mately 10°F (2°C) higher than the temperature
for the two right bottles. See page 23.
Important Things to Know
•
Your wine dispensing system is NOT designed
for the dispensing of sparkling wine such as
Champagne. Dispensing sparkling wines from
your wine dispensing system will cause a large
amount of splatter when the carbon-dioxide in
the wine hits the air outside the spout.
•
Your wine dispensing system is not designed to
dispense beverages other than wine. Other bev-
erages may be dispensed, but the (wine) pour
detection system must be turned off. If bever-
ages other than wine are dispensed from the
unit, the argon gas will continue to be depleted
at the normal rate and will still need to be
replaced for the unit to function, whether wine is
being dispensed or not.
•
Wine cannot be dispensed from two bottles at
the same time.
