Use and Care Manual

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.

Care and Maintenance

Cleaning your wine cellar:

• Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all items including all shelves.

• Wash the inside surfaces with warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2

tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.

• Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution.

• Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning area of the controls, or any electrical parts.

• Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.

• Do not use steel wool or steel brush on the stainless steel. These will contaminate the stainless steel with steel

particles and rusting may occur.

• Dust the front grill and back of the unit twice yearly. Make sure the power is off before cleaning.

• It is recommended to clean the unit completely inside and out yearly to maximize the longevity of the product.

• Replace the activated charcoal filter in the upper ventilation hole of the cabinet every six months.

Moving your wine cellar:

• Remove all bottles and any other items you may have inside the unit.

• Securely tape down all loose items (shelves) inside your appliance and tape the door shut.

• Turn the adjustable leg up to the base to avoid damage.

• Be sure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation.

• Protect the outside of the appliance with a blanket or similar item.
