Interior Light Control; Cleaning And Maintenance; General Cleaning; Power Interruptions - Cuisinart Private Reserve CWC-800CEN Instruction Booklet

By pressing the "up" or "down" temperature button on
the display panel, the wine cellar goes into temperature
adjust mode. You can preset the cavity temperature
upward or downward by (1) degree intervals. A "Beep"
sound will be heard for each degree from pressing on
the button. After the desired temperature is set, you
may stop pressing the button. The temperature display
will continue to flash for around 5 seconds, then stop
flashing, and the unit will exit that mode automatically.
The display will show the preset cavity temperature.
During the temperature setting, flashing on the display
may be (or may not be) observed, it depends on the
speed to press to button, either way is normal.
Please note that the actual cabinet temperature in a
thermal electric unit is dependent on the ambient
temperature. You may set the cabinet temperature
within range but the unit may not reach that
temperature.
For this model, when the ambient temperature is 77˚F,
the lowest temperature that can be reached is 50-52˚F.
When ambient temperature is 66˚, the cabinet
temperature can reach approximately 39-41˚F.

INTERIOR LIGHT CONTROL

Your wine cellar also has a light for your viewing
pleasure. The interior display light option allows you to
showcase your personal collection of wines. To activate
this feature, press the light button. This button is
located on the control panel (see below). The interior
light will remain on permanently until light button is
pressed again. Under normal operation it is best for the
light to remain off.
CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
Warning: To avoid electric shock always unplug your
wine cellar before cleaning. Ignoring this warning may
result in death or injury.
Caution: Before using cleaning products, always
read and follow manufacturer's instructions and
warnings to avoid personal injury or product
damage.

General Cleaning

Prepare a cleaning solution of 3-4 tablespoons of
baking soda mixed with warm water. Use sponge or
soft cloth, dampened with the cleaning solution, to wipe
down your wine cellar. Rinse with clean warm water and
dry with a soft cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals,
abrasives, ammonia, chlorine bleach, concentrated
detergents, solvents or metal scouring pads. SOME of
these chemicals may dissolve, damage and/or discolor
your wine cellar.

Power Interruptions

Occasionally there may be power interruptions due to
thunderstorms or other causes. Remove the power cord
from the AC outlet when a power outage occurs. When
the power has been restored, replug the power cord
into the AC outlet.

Vacation and Moving Care

For long vacations or absences, unplug the unit, empty
contents from wine cellar, and clean the wine cellar and
door gaskets according to General Cleaning section.
Prop doors open, so air can circulate inside. When
moving always keep the wine cellar upright. Do not
move the unit lying on its side.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Any other servicing should be performed by an
authorized service representative.

WINE TIPS AND HINTS

When choosing wine, take advantage of the knowledge
of the personnel in the wine store as well as reviews of
wines from wine publications. The price of a wine is not
necessarily indicative of relative quality. Very good wines
can be purchased at comfortable-for-the-wallet prices.
When you find a comfortably priced wine, purchase in
quantity to have on hand as your "house wine." Keep it
chilled in your Cuisinart
and be ready for any occasion.
Pairing wine with food has really become a matter of
personal taste – the rules are no longer hard and fast
that white wine is paired only with fish or light meats and
red wine is paired only with red meats. A Pinot Noir can
complement a grilled fish just as well as it complements
a grilled fillet of beef.
What needs to be kept in mind is the personality of the
wine itself, the preparation of the foods, and the tastes of
those who will be enjoying them. You may want to open
a bottle each of red and white and allow your guests to
choose.
The wine should please the diner, and never overpower
or fight with the food with which it
is served. Likewise, the food should not overpower or
fight with the wine.
Wine is a part of healthy living – the USDA's guidelines
are based upon the "Mediterranean diet." They include
wine in moderation – for women this is one glass per day
and two glasses per day for men. A glass size is 4
ounces. The difference in gender amount
is based upon body size.
As for cooking with wine – never cook with
a wine that you would not drink!
