ENERGY SAVING TIPS
Wine Bottle Shelf
Underneath the glass on both full width shelves are the wine bottle shelves. Simply remove the glass to store your bottled wine. (See Figures 17 and 18).
The wine shelf holds 6 bottles of wine. Keep wines that you plan to use for everyday drinking and entertaining on the front half of the shelf. Because of the lower temperature of the refrigera- tor the wine shelf may not be conducive to long term storage of your wine.
