Product Manual for
Wine Storage Unit

SCV32
Introduction
SCV32
Scotsman’s SCV Wine Storage Unit is designed for
the refrigeration, storage and display of wine
bottles. In order to provide efficient operation, the
cabinet is insulated and the door has two panes of
glass. A door gasket provides sealing between the
door and the cabinet. Six slide out storage racks
with stops are provided for ease of loading or
removal.
The SCV can be built into an under counter
application without loss of capacity or efficiency
due to the forced draft condenser under the unit.

Install It
The SCV32 is designed to be installed indoors, in a
controlled environment. The operational limits are:
Voltage: 104 to 126 VAC 60 Hz
·
Room Temperature: 50 to 100oF.
·
Note: Due to possible door contact
with another cabinet, corner
installations may limit rack removal.
The vents at the bottom front must be kept clear of
obstructions. Blocking these vents will reduce the
ability of the unit to keep the wine at the proper
temperature, and may damage the refrigeration
system.
The unit should be on its own electrical circuit and
no extension cords can be used. It pulls 1.1 amps
or between 100 and 160 watts when operating.

Wine bottles are heavy. A fully loaded unit will
weigh up to 200 lb. Be sure the flooring is
adequate for the weight.
Remove any tape or other packaging material from
inside the unit. Check that all racks move freely.
Note: Door handle is for opening door only. Do
NOT pick the unit up by the handle.

Reversing Door Swing
Determine if the door swing needs to be reversed.
If it does, follow these instructions:
1. Open the door.
2. Remove the hinge pin from the top hinge (it
unscrews). Save the pin and the spacer.
3. Tilt the door out just enough to clear the hinge
and lift the door off the bottom pin.
4. Remove the upper hinge from the cabinet and
insert the pin removed in step 2. Be sure it is in
tight.
5. Mount the hinge to the bottom position on the
opposite side.
6. Move spacer from original lower hinge to new
lower hinge.
7. Remove the original lower hinge and move to
the top position, opposite side.
7. Remove the pin from the hinge.
8. Place door on bottom hinge pin. Align door with
hole in top hinge, add spacer from step 2
and insert pin. Tighten pin.
Accessory Kit
A kit is available to fill in the space to the
left and right when the SCV32 is installed in a
cabinet with an 18” wide space. The kit number is

Place It
Locate the leg levelers. Rotate them to level the
unit left to right and front to back.
If the unit is built in and the electrical socket is
behind the installed location, plug the unit in and
slide it back into place. Check for stability and
adjust legs if needed.
If the unit is free standing, move it into place and
check for stability. Adjust legs if needed. Plug it in
to an electrical socket of the correct voltage.
SCV32
Note: Only connect to a properly grounded
electrical outlet. Do not use an extension cord.
Follow all local, state and national codes.

Switch It On
Locate the temperature control knob at the bottom
front of the unit. Rotate the knob clockwise to an
operating position.
You should immediately hear a humming noise and
feel air blowing in and out the vents near the knob.
After 10 minutes open the door and feel the back
panel inside the cabinet. It should feel cold to the
touch.
To switch refrigeration off: Rotate the temperature
control knob fully counter clockwise. The light will
still be functional.

SCV32
The six racks are designed to hold five bottles
each with the necks pointing at each other. Two
additional bottles may be placed on the bottom for
a total of 32. If large bottles do not fit between the
racks, remove a lower rack and place the bottles
on the rack below.
The racks are removable and reversible. To
remove a rack, take off the bottles on that rack and
pull it out until it stops, then lift up the front of the
rack and remove it from the unit.
Bottles can be arranged to suit individual needs.
Reversing every other rack allows more light to
penetrate the lower racks for an improved display
of a full cabinet.
Note: Rack removal will be difficult if the door
cannot open to at least 115
application.

Caution: Loaded racks contain heavy wine
bottles and when several are pulled out the
unit can tip forward unexpectedly.

Set the Temperature
Rotate the temperature adjustment knob until the
desired temperature is lined up with the indicator.
Interior cabinet temperatures will be a bit warmer
at the top or front and cooler at the bottom. See the
next page for details.
Temperature Reference:
There are several temperature zones inside the
SCV cabinet. The warmest position is at the top,
coldest at the bottom. The temperature can also be
controlled by rotating the temperature control knob.
1 is the warmest setting, 7 is the coldest.
When fully loaded with room temperature product
the SCV32 will operate continuously for as much
as 24 hours to reduce the temperature inside the
cabinet to the desired point. After it has shut off it
should remain off for a long while.
If the unit is lightly loaded or empty, it will turn on
and off frequently.
Switch the Light On or Off
The Display Light automatically switches on when
the door is opened. To have it on when the door is
closed, move the light switch to the ON position.

Temperature Control
Wines should be stored at the temperature
recommended for the type of wine.
Red wines should be kept at about 60oF.
·
White wines should be kept at about 50oF.
·
Sparkling wines should be kept at about 45oF.
·
This range corresponds to the rack positions. The
upper two racks will be the warmest, and that is
where the red wines should be placed.
The middle two racks are where the white wines
should go, and the bottom area is where sparkling
wines should be kept.
Once the wines have been placed in the correct
racks, the temperature control can be adjusted to
bring the temperature to the correct range. Place a
thermometer in the wine storage unit and check
over several days to determine the temperature.
In very warm conditions the unit may run
continuously.

Maintenance
Little maintenance is required other than keeping
the unit clean. The evaporator in the back of the
cabinet is the cycle-defrost type. Any frost that
develops on it during operation melts and drains
away when the unit is off. Water from the
evaporator drains into a pan at the bottom of the
cabinet and evaporates into the room air.
About once a year check the drain trough by
·
pouring about a half-cup of water in it to be
sure it drains well.
The outside of the cabinet can be kept clean
·
by wiping it with a mild soap and water.
The inside liner can be washed using any
·
non-petroleum based soap and water.
The door glass may be cleaned with any
·
glass cleaner.
The door gasket can be removed for cleaning
·
by pulling it out of its track.
The air cooled condenser should be vacuumed
once or twice per year to remove any lint that may
have been drawn into it. To get access, use a
phillips screwdriver to remove the kickplate and
use an accessory probe on the vacuum cleaner
hose to reach back on the left side to remove any
lint from the front of the condenser fins.

Drain System
SCV32
The SCV has an internal drain system. Inside the
unit, moisture forms on the refrigerated panel in the
back. That moisture drains into a trough, and from
the trough through a hose to a pan.
The drain hose must be directly above the pan or
water may leak onto the base of the unit.
