SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS
NOTICE
For your protection, this unit is equipped with a 3-conductor cord set that has a molded 3-prong grounding-type plug, and should be used in combination with a properly connected grounding-type outlet as shown in gure A. If a grounding-type outlet is not available, an adapter, shown in Figure B, may be obtained so that a 2-slot wall outlet can be used with a 3-prong plug. As shown in Figure C, the adapter must be grounded by attaching its grounding lug under the screw of the outlet cover plate.
NOTE: Do not remove the grounding prong.
CAUTION: Before using an adapter, it must be determined that the outlet cover plate screw is properly grounded. If in doubt, consult a licensed electrician. Never use an adapter unless you are sure it is properly grounded.
Note: Use of an adapter is not permitted in Canada.

STORING WINES
Storing wines at the proper temperature is important. Stored too cold, the aroma and avor of the wine will be diminished. Stored too warm, the avor of the wine can become too harsh, at in avor, or taste too strongly alcoholic.
Because it is carefully limited to a temperature range that will preserve and enhance wines, any setting of the Cuisinart™ Private Reserve™ Wine Cellar is appropriate for storing most wines. The only exceptions are:
– Champagne is best stored at presets 1, 2 or 3 – Red wine is best stored at presets 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8

INTERIOR LIGHT CONTROL
The interior display light option allows you to showcase your personal collection of wines. To activate this feature, press the display light switch. This switch is located on the control panel (see Parts, page 3). The interior light will remain ON permanently while in this position. When in the OFF position, the interior light will illuminate only when the door is opened.
CLEANING AND CARE
Always unplug the wine cooler before cleaning. Do not use benzene, scrubbing brushes or chemical cleaners, as these will damage the unit. Use only a mild, nonabrasive cleanser to clean the exterior of the cabinet. Clean the stainless steel door and handle by wiping with a damp cloth. Wash the inside surface with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water. Wash the racks with a mild detergent solution. Always dry all the parts with a clean dry cloth before plugging the wine cooler back into the receptacle.
WINE TIPS AND HINTS
When choosing wine, take advantage of the knowledge of the personnel in the wine store as well as reviews of wines from wine publications. The price of a wine is not necessarily indicative of relative quality. Very good wines can be purchased at comfortable-for-the-wallet prices. When you nd a comfortably priced wine, purchase in quantity to have on hand as your “house wine.” Keep it chilled in your Cuisinart™ Private Reserve™ Wine Cellar and be ready for any occasion.
Pairing wine with food has really become a matter of personal taste – the rules are no longer hard and fast that white wine is paired only with sh or light meats and red wine is paired only with red meats. A Pinot Noir can complement a grilled sh just as well as it complements a grilled llet of beef.
What needs to be kept in mind is the personality of the wine itself, the preparation of the foods, and the tastes of those who will be enjoying them. You may want to open a bottle each of red and white and allow your guests to choose.
The wine should please the diner, and never overpower or ght with the food with which it is served. Likewise, the food should not overpower or ght with the wine.
Wine is a part of healthy living – the USDA’s guidelines are based upon the “Mediterranean diet.” They include wine in moderation – for women this is one glass per day and two glasses per day for men. A glass size is 4 ounces. The difference in gender amount is based upon body size.
As for cooking with wine – never cook with a wine that you would not drink!

The door will not close properly • The wine cooler is not on a level surface.
• The racks are out of position.
• A bottle is too long.

the more the fan will run. If the room is warmer than 70°F (21°C), it will run more.
Unit has no power. • Check the wall outlet for power. Make sure the outlet is not controlled
by a wall switch.
The inside temperature does not seem correct.
The unit does not operate. • It may not be plugged into the wall socket.

Power is on.
General Statements
• Make sure the cooling vents on the right and left sides of the cooler are
not obstructed. Have at least 3" (76 mm) of space on both sides and rear of unit.

is 80°F (27°C) or higher, the unit can have difculty chilling adequately on the white wine setting.
• When using the unit for the rst time, it can take the unit up to 24 hours
to reach the desired temperature.

• If the room temperature is above 75°F (24°C), the unit will not get below
51°F (11°C). Humidity does not affect the cooling ability of the unit. To achieve accurate temperature control, the unit should not be used or operated in any of the following locations:
— in a sunny place — in a room with poor air circulation such as a garage — near another heat-producing appliance (dishwasher, oven, refrig-
erator).
— with an outlet shared with a refrigerator, as the refrigerator will
drain power from the wine cellar.
— in a cabinet or closet. And remember to have at least 3" (76 mm)
of space on all sides of unit.
• The unit can be manually set using the + and – symbols.The minimum
setting is 45°F (7°C) and maximum is 68°F (20°C).

California law provides that for In-Warranty Service, California residents have the option of returning a nonconforming product (A) to the store where it was purchased or (B) to another retail store which sells Cuisinart products of the same type. The retail store shall then, according to its preference, either repair the product, refer the consumer to an independent repair facility, replace the product, or refund the purchase price less the amount directly attributable to the consumer’s prior usage of the product. If the above two options do not result in the appropriate relief to the consumer, the consumer may then take the product to an independent repair facility if service or repair can be economically accomplished.
