Controls and features—Wine Chiller.

The temperature range of the wine chiller
is from the low forties to the mid sixties.
Do not install the wine chiller where the
temperature will go below 55°F (13°C) or
above 90°F (32°C).
The RED WINE setting will provide a storage
temperature of approximately 55ºF (13ºC),
which is optimum for the storage of red wine.
The WHITE WINE setting will provide a storage
temperature of approximately 45ºF (7ºC),
which is optimum for white wine.
As with any refrigeration product, there is
a slight temperature variance at different
locations within the cabinet.
Temperatures at the bottom of the cabinet
will be cooler than temperatures at the top
of the cabinet.
Position your wine inventory accordingly (i.e.
white wines in the cooler zones and red in the
warmer zones).
To set the control, turn it to the RED WINE
setting. Once the bottles are loaded, allow
at least 24 hours before making any
adjustments to the initial setting.
Temperature Control
The top five full extension drawers each
hold eight bottles, two deep with the necks
alternating front to back or nine bottles,
alternating with necks pointing inward.
The bottom two full extension drawers hold
six bottles each and are loaded with necks
facing the rear. Tall bottles should not be
loaded on the bottom drawer because
they may prevent the door from closing.

Bottom two drawers
• The bottles on the top full extension drawer,
directly under the light, will be exposed to a
slightly higher temperature when the light
is on. Position your wines accordingly and
remember to turn off the light when it is no
longer needed.
• Keep wines that you plan to use for
everyday drinking and entertaining on
the front half of the full extension drawers
where labels are completely visible. Place
wines for aging or longer term storage in
the rear.
• Do not allow children to climb, stand or
hang on the wine chiller full extension
drawers. They could seriously injure
themselves and possibly cause
damage to the wine chiller.
