Controls and Features - Wine Chiller

Temperature Control

The temperature range of the wine chiller is from the
low forties to the mid sixties. This appliance is not a
refrigerator and does not maintain temperatures like a
refrigerator (below 41°F ).
Do not install the wine chiller where the temperature will
go below 55°F (13°C) or above 90°F (32°C).
The RED WINE setting will provide a temperature
of approximately 55ºF (13ºC), which is the optimum
storage temperature for red wine.
The WHITE WINE setting will provide a temperature of
approximately 45ºF (7ºC), which is the optimum serving
temperature for white wine.
As with any refrigeration-type product, there is a slight
temperature variance at different locations within the
cabinet.
Temperatures at the bottom of the cabinet will be cooler
than temperatures at the top of the cabinet.
Position your wine inventory accordingly (i.e. white wines
in the cooler zones and red in the warmer zones).
Inserting Wine Bottles
The top five full extension drawers each hold eight
bottles, two deep with the necks alternating front to back
or nine bottles, alternating with necks pointing inward.
The bottom two full extension drawers hold six bottles
each and are loaded with necks facing the rear. Tall
bottles should not be loaded on the bottom drawer
because they may prevent the door from closing.
Loading Tips and Suggestions
• The bottles on the top full extension drawer, directly
under the light, will be exposed to a slightly higher
temperature when the light is on. Position your wines
accordingly and remember to turn off the light when it
is no longer needed.
• Keep wines that you plan to use for everyday drinking
and entertaining on the front half of the full extension
drawers where labels are completely visible. Place
wines for aging or longer term storage in the rear.

To set the control, turn it
to the RED WINE setting.
Once the bottles are loaded,
allow at least 24 hours before
making any adjustments to
the initial setting.
NOTE: This unit is designed
