Storing Wine And Beverages - Vinotemp Element EL-BWC108-SS-L Owner's Manual

To set the desired temperature for the upper or lower zone, press the Temperature Set button, and then use
the Temperature up and down buttons to set the zone to the desired temperature.
The Light button can be used to turn the light within the cooler on and off.
°C / °F – To toggle the temperature display between Celsius and Fahrenheit, press the button for 3 seconds.
NOTE: If the unit is unplugged, power lost, or turned off, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit. The unit
contains compressor protection which will prevent the unit from starting until this time period has elapsed. When you use
the wine cooler for the first time or restart the wine cooler after having been shut off for a long time, there could be a few
degrees variance between the temperature you select and the one indicated on the LED readout. This is normal and once
the wine cooler is running for a few hours the display will be correct.
SETTING A TEMPERATURE
The 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 10°C (50°F) and 18°C (65°F), while white wines are stored between 4°C (40°F) and 10°C (50°F).
White wine can be stored at red wine temperatures for a short period of time (less than three months), and
flash chilled before serving.
You can set the temperature as you desire by touching the UP or DOWN button. When you touch the buttons
for the first time, the LED readout will show the original temperature set at the manufacturing facility. 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.
STORING WINE & BEVERAGES
While bottles and cans may vary in size and dimension,
approximately 100+ traditional Bordeaux 750ml wine bottles and 100
beverage cans could be stored in this unit. The actual number of
bottles you may be able to store may vary from the amount quoted.
You can place 11 standard wine bottles on each full-size shelf in the
upper zone. In the lower zone, you can place 100 beverage cans in
the two drawers combined. Bottle capacities are approximately
maximums when storing traditional Bordeaux 750ml wine bottles and
