1.Setting the Control:
The available settings of 1 through 7 provide a temperature range in the wine chiller from the low forties to the mid sixties.
Operation
Loading Tips and Suggestions:
1. As with most refrigeration products, there is a |
slight temperature variance at different locations |
within the wine chiller. |
Use a coin to initially turn the control clockwise to the middle thermostat setting (4). Allow at least 48 hours for the wine chiller to stabilize before making any adjustments to the initial setting.

The coolest areas will be at the rear of the four |
middle racks. The front locations on these racks |
are generally a few degrees warmer than the rear |
locations. |
The overall warmest storage location in the wine |
chiller will be the upper two racks. This location in |
the wine chiller is approximately 3° to 7° F |
The mid setting on the control (4) provides approximately 55° F (13° C) which is the appropriate temperature for long term storage of all types of wine.
The coldest setting (7) provides a storage temperature of approximately 45° F (7° C) which is the serving temperature for white wine.
The temperature can be adjusted by turning the control clockwise for a colder temperature or counterclockwise for a warmer temperature.
2.Insert Wine Bottles: The top two racks each hold six bottles, with the necks alternating front (rear bottles) to back (front bottles). The middle four racks each hold eight bottles, with necks alternating front (rear bottles) to back (front bottles). The bottom rack holds six bottles and are loaded with necks facing the rear. Tall bottles should not be loaded on the bottom rack because they may prevent the door from closing.

2. | Position white wines on the middle or lower racks |
| and red wines on the upper racks. |
3. | Turn off the light when it is not needed, as bottles |
| directly under the light will be exposed to a slightly |
| higher temperature when the light is on. |
4. | Place wines that are being stored for aging or long |
| term at the rear of the racks. |
5. | Place wines that will be used sooner on the front |
| half of the racks where labels are more readily |
| visible. |
6. | Magnums and other large bottles can be stored on |
| the upper right and left positions of the wine chiller |
| or on any of the middle racks, by removing the |
| rack directly above them. |
