Important Safety Instructions
General Safety Precautions
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death when using your wine dispensing system,
follow basic safety precautions, including the following:
WARNING
• This appliance must be properly installed according
to the accompanying installation instructions before
use.
• Read this use and care manual completely before
operating this appliance.
• Failure to follow the instructions in this manual
properly may result in personal injury or damage to
the appliance. Dacor cannot be held responsible for
damage to property or injury to persons caused by
failure to comply with the instructions contained in
this handbook.
• If you receive a damaged product, immediately
contact your dealer. Do not install or use a damaged
appliance.
• Keep all packaging materials away from children.
Plastic sheets and bags can cause suffocation.
• Excessive weight hazard - Use two or more people
to move and install the wine dispensing system.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
• Before cleaning or performing any type of service,
turn the unit off and disconnect the power plug from
the electrical outlet or turn off power at the circuit
breaker panel or fuse box.
• Use this appliance only for tasks for which it is
designed (dispensing wine). This appliance is not
intended for commercial or industrial use.
• To prevent bursting, do not expose the argon gas
cylinders to open flame. Store and use the cylinders
at temperatures below 130°F (54°C). Do not dispose
of the gas cylinders in fire or an incinerator.
• To avoid an electric shock hazard or other personal
injury, do not put body parts or any other objects into
any opening, air vent, the base grille or the bottom of
the appliance.
WARNING
• Do not leave children alone or unattended in the area
around the appliance. Do not allow children to play
with the controls, open and close the doors or touch
other parts of the appliance. Keep the argon gas
cylinders out of reach of children.
• Do not tamper with the controls.
• Only allow individuals to use the wine dispensing
system who are able to operate it properly.
• Store and use the appliance and the argon gas
cylinders only in areas with adequate ventilation. Do
not directly inhale argon gas.
• Keep all cleaning solutions out of reach of children.
• Never allow anyone, including children, to sit, stand,
or climb on any part of the appliance. Doing so may
cause damage, serious injury or death. Do not allow
children to play with the controls, or touch other parts
of the appliance.
• Clean and maintain this appliance and the parts
that come with it regularly according to the Care
and Cleaning section of this manual. Clean it only
in the manner instructed. Use only the cleaning
agents specified. Check the drip tray regularly for
condensation build up.
• DO NOT remove the leveling feet or place the unit
in the upright position without the feet attached.
Failure to attach the feet and maintain the required
ventilation space of 1” (2.5 cm) above and below the
unit will void the warranty and may cause countertop
damage.
• Care should always be taken when handling
pressurized gas. Make sure the specified tubing and
regulator assembly are always used.
• This appliance is not suitable for installation in an
area where a water jet could be used.
WARNING
Do not place your hands or fingers in areas with
moving parts. NEVER place fingers or hands into the
dispensing head slot inside the bottle bay (see photo,
right). Personal injury may result. Call a qualified service
technician to diagnose any problems inside the bottle bay
or behind enclosed panels.

Getting to Know Your Wine Dispensing System
Introduction
• There are three factors that affect wine preservation; oxidation, temperature and light. Your
wine dispensing system limits the effects of
these factors to provide a winery fresh taste for
up to 60 days after opening the bottle.
Your wine dispensing system uses argon gas,
which is heavier than air. The system injects
argon into the wine bottle and displaces any
residual air so that the wine is exposed only to
the argon, not oxygen. The unit's cooling system
and tinted door minimize the effects of temperature and light on the wine as well.
These features allow you to uncork and serve
multiple vintages from your personal wine collection without having to throw away left over wine
at the end of the evening. With the purchase of
additional dispensing heads, you can remove
bottles of wine (with the dispensing head still
attached) that you are not currently using and
store them for later use in the refrigerator. The
wine will continue to be preserved for up to two
weeks because the argon gas stays in the bottle
as long as the dispensing head is attached.
• All of the parts of the wine dispensing system
that touch the wine can be easily cleaned to
maintain sanitary dispensing.
• The optional two zone temperature kit, is for
storing red wines at a higher temperature than
white wines. When the kit is installed, the temperature for the two left bottles stays approximately 13°F (7°C) higher than the temperature
for the two right bottles. See page 22.
Important Things to Know
• Your wine dispensing system is NOT designed
for the dispensing of sparkling wine such as
Champagne. Dispensing sparkling wines from
your wine dispensing system will cause a large
amount of splatter when the carbon-dioxide in
the wine hits the air outside the spout.
• Your wine dispensing system is not designed to
dispense beverages other than wine. Other beverages may be dispensed, but the (wine) pour
detection system must be turned off. If beverages other than wine are dispensed from the
unit, the argon gas will continue to be depleted
at the normal rate and will still need to be
replaced for the unit to function, whether wine is
being dispensed or not.
• Wine cannot be dispensed from two bottles at
the same time.

*This appliance is designed for indoor use. It may
be used outdoors provided it is installed under cover
in a dry location and operated within the required
room temperature. This system is equipped with a
low power consumption, TEC cooling system, that
cools the inside of the bottle bay to a temperature
approximately 20°F (11°C) less than the temperature outside the unit. Therefore, the ability to cool
wine is limited by higher room temperatures.

WARNING
Do not use any power supply other than the one provided
with the system or a Dacor approved replacement. Do
not attempt to modify or bypass the power supply.
1. If not already connected, plug one end of the
plastic gas tubing (provided) into the inert gas
connector at the back of the wine dispensing
system. IMPORTANT: Do not cut or shorten the
gas supply line.
2. Make sure the cable coming from the power
supply (opposite the power cord that connects
to the wall) is connected to the Power Input
connector on the back of the unit. Also, check
to make sure that both of the micro-switches
located on the back of the unit are in the up
position.
3. Plug the power cord (provided) into the power
plug on the power supply (black rectangular
box) mounted on the back of the wine dispensing system.
4. Slowly and gently lift the unit up and into the
final location. Exercise care to make sure that
the power cord and gas lines do not become
kinked or damaged. Make sure the required 1"
(2.5 cm) space is maintained above and below
the unit.
