Basic Operation

Loading

The six racks are designed to hold five bottles each
with the necks pointing toward the center. (See Figure
3-1) Two additional bottles may be placed sideways on
the bottom of the compartment for a total of 32. If large
bottles do not fit between the racks, remove an upper-
rack and place bottles on the rack below.
To remove a rack, remove the bottles on that rack, then
pull rack forward until it stops. Lift front of rack up while
pulling forward. After indentations on the wine rack
clear the rollers on the cabinet slides, lower front of
rack while continuing to pull forward and lifting rear of
rack out of unit.
NOTE: Loaded racks can be heavy. If several loaded
racks are pulled out at once, the unit could tip forward
unexpectedly.

Temperature Control

Figure 3-1. Loading the 315W
Rotate the temperature adjustment knob clockwise until
the desired temperature is achieved (See Figure 3-2).
Interior cabinet temperatures will be higher at the top
and front and cooler at the bottom. Place a thermome-
ter in the compartment to check the temperatures.
Wine rack positions correspond to these temperature
ranges. The upper two racks will be the warmest, that
is where red wines would be placed. The middle two
racks are where the white wines would go, and the bot-
tom area is where sparkling wines would be kept.
The recommended temperatures for "serving" wines
are:
• Red wines - around 60°F (16°C).
• Rosé wines - around 50°F (10°C).
• Sparkling wines - around 45°F (7°C).
Figure 3-2. Adjusting Temperature
NOTE: Air temperature inside the compartment will
fluctuate slightly as the cooling system cycles on and
off. In very warm room ambient conditions the unit may
run continuously.
NOTE: When initially loaded with room temperature
product, the 315W may operate continuously for as
much as 24 hours until the temperature inside the cabi-
net reaches the desired set-point.
