Temperature Setting
While wines store best at temperatures around
13-15
º
C (56-58
º
F)
, the SC90OD
outdoor unit also allows you to store wine at drinking temperatures. Generally,
RED WINE should be kept at
15-16
º
C (60-61
º
F
) and WHITE WINE, which is
usually served chilled, is best kept at
12-13
º
C
(54-55
º
F)
. Sparkling wines should
be kept at about
8
º
C
(46
º
F)
. For beer and soft drinks, choose the temperature
setting that is most agreeable to you and your guests.
To adjust the temperature, press the SET button, then use the UP/DOWN keys to
navigate to the preferred temperature. The range of set temperatures is from
2 to
18
º
C (36 to 64
º
F)
.
For example, if you are storing red wine, you may want to set a
temperature of
16
º
C (61
º
F)
. When the correct temperature appears in the
DISPLAY window of the control panel, press SET to confirm. The actual
temperature inside the unit will now appear in the window. This temperature will
vary depending on the number of bottles stored and how frequently the door is
opened.
Please note:
The temperature sensor records the average temperature of the
unit. Cold air falls and warmer air rises, and there will be a temperature variation
from the bottom to the top of the unit. The temperature at the bottom of the unit
will always be slightly colder. The controller only controls the average temperature
of the unit. The temperature displayed by the electronic control panel is the
instantaneous average temperature of the unit and there may be a variation of
approximately 0 to
3ºC (0 to
6º
F)
.
When fully loaded with room temperature product, the SC90OD will operate
continuously for as long as 24 hours to reduce the temperature inside the cabinet
to the desired point. Under normal conditions, when the unit has been on for six
hours, it will stop working for about thirty minutes to defrost automatically. The unit
should be in a well-ventilated area. Best results are obtained at temperatures
between
18
º
C
(65°F)
and
27
º
C (80°F)
for built-in models and between
18
º
C (65°F)
and
32
º
C (90°F)
for freestanding models.
To temporarily stop the cooling cycle, unplug the Beverage Center. To shut it
down for longer periods of time, disconnect the plug and leave the door partially
open.
NOTE: If you unplug the Beverage Center, allow 3 minutes before plugging it back
in. The unit will not restart in less than 3 minutes.
