The door of your Wine Storage unit has a spring-loaded closure mechanism. As the door is closed, the door closer engages to help close and seal the door.

Models 427 and 427R: These models have a 90˚ door stop built into the hinge system. You can easily actuate the stop by using a blade- type screwdriver and rotating the brass cam in both the top and bottom hinges.

If your Wine Storage unit is positioned in a corner, you may want to limit the door opening to 90˚. If so, see the appropriate section for your Wine Storage Model 427, 427R or 430.

IMPORTANT NOTE: A 90˚ door stop is not available for Models 424 and 424FS.

You can go to the maximum of a 105˚ door opening by using the screwdriver and rotating the brass cam to the next stop.

The door swing on Models 427 and 427R may cause severe finger pinching. Watch that fingers are not placed in the door opening on the hinge side when the door is open.

WINE STORAGE specifications

Sub-Zero wine storage units have become synonymous with excellence in preserving and showcasing fine wines. Their commitment to quality is evident in the design and technology of their wine storage solutions, making them a preferred choice for both amateur wine enthusiasts and connoisseurs alike. One of the main features of Sub-Zero wine storage is its precise temperature control. Wines are best preserved at specific temperatures, and Sub-Zero units maintain a consistent environment, typically between 45 and 65 degrees Fahrenheit. This precision prevents the wine from aging too quickly or developing undesirable flavors.

Another standout characteristic is the humidity control system. These units maintain an optimal humidity level of around 50-70%, crucial for keeping corks moist. This prevents corks from drying out, which can lead to oxidation and spoil the wine. The insulation in Sub-Zero wine cabinets is also superior, with dual-pane glass doors that prevent UV light from affecting the wine while providing an elegant display space.

The vibration-free design is another key technical advancement. Wine is sensitive to movement, which can disturb sediment and disrupt the aging process. Sub-Zero employs a specialized compressor system designed to minimize vibrations, ensuring that wines mature gracefully over time.

Sub-Zero wine storage units also feature customizable shelving options made from solid beechwood, designed to cradle bottles securely while allowing for easy access. Many models are equipped with adjustable wine racks to accommodate various bottle sizes, from standard Bordeaux to larger formats like magnums.

In addition, a sophisticated active cooling system allows for consistent temperatures without the use of compressors that generate excessive heat. This technology combines efficiency with a passive cooling system to provide gentle, even cooling.

Finally, Sub-Zero wine storage solutions are designed with aesthetics in mind. The sleek, modern look of these units fits seamlessly into any home decor while enhancing the beauty of the displayed bottles. With a combination of high-performance technology and luxurious design, Sub-Zero wine storage units provide an unparalleled environment for storing precious bottles, ensuring that wine enthusiasts can enjoy their collections in optimal condition for years to come.
