Turning On the Unit
Plug in the Refrigerator to turn it on automatically. (After the unit has been
on for about 6 hours, the compressor will shut down for thirty minutes to
allow for automatic defrosting.)
If you want to use the Automatic Temperature (default) setting, do nothing
further.
The unit will automatically set the temperature in the compartment at 38
ºF (3ºC).
If you want to set other temperatures, see below.
Temperature Setting
Wine Storage Temperatures: While wines store best at temperatures
around 56-58ºF, your unit also allows you to store wine at drinking
temperatures. Generally, RED WINE should be kept at 60-61ºF and
WHITE WINE, which is usually served chilled, is best kept at 54-55ºF.
Sparkling wines should be kept at about 46° 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 34 to 65° F. For example, if you are storing red wine,
you may want to set a temperature of 61º 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
