Versatile Shelving System

Y

our wine cellar's shelving system makes it easy to
store standard, magnum and half-size bottles easily.
There are a total of fifteen wine shelves which will
each accommodate 10 bottles of wine, alternately
displayed. Twoconvertible wine shelves adjust to
allow bottles to be displayed.

bottles on the shelf with the neck in the center of the
shelf. Alternate the direction of the next bottle. Note
the illustration above for maximum bottle storage.

Convertible DisplayShelves

display shelf, first remove any wine bottles stored on
the shelf. Next, remove the wine shelf directly above
(see shelf removal instructions on page 12 of the Use
and Care Manual). Lift the shelf up, rotate the shelf
support up and lock shelf into place with legs (see

Wine StorageGuidelines

W

ines that are stored for a long period of time should

b

e stored at a stable temperature in a dark, vibration
free environment. Wines stored for a short term (six
months) can be stored at 55°F (13°C), or they can be
stored at temperatures optimal for serving. The chart
on the next page provides recommended serving
t

emperatures for different types of wines.

•

The ambient temperature of the room you locate
y

our wine cellar in could affect the temperature in
your wine cellar if the room temperature is lower
than the wine cellar compartment setting. The
wine cellar is designed to cool, not heat the stored
wines. Temperaturesinside the wine cellar cannot
be higher than room temperatures outside of the
wine cellar.The wine cellar is designed to perform
at room temperatures of 70°F (21°C) and above.

• In certain conditions, the temperature of the
middle zone can vary up to 5°F (2.8°C) from your
selected temperature setting.

Optimal WineServing Temperatures

Red wines are generally served from cool to room
temperatures (55°F – 65°F [13°C – 18°C]). White
wines are served at cellar temperatures (50°F – 55°F
[10°C – 13°C]), and sparkling wines are served at the
coolest temperatures (45°F – 50°F [7°C – 10°C]).
