Features
1. TriTemp™ Storage System
Your wine cellar has three independent temperature zones
separated by gaskets and tempered glass shelves to seal
the zones. This allows you to set the temperatures in your
wine cellar to match your wine storage needs. Each zone
has its own fan, allowing for true air circulation within the
zone. One control, conveniently located at the top of the
unit, allows you to precisely control the temperature in
each zone separately.
Bottom Zone – The bottom zone is designed for longer
term wine storage with no lighting and raised wood facings
to add further UV protection. This is the perfect place to
store your most delicate and precious wine.
150 Bottle Capacity – Your wine cellar will accommodate
150 bottles of wine on the 15 shelves. Each shelf has a 10
bottle capacity.
2. Electronic Control Center
The electronic control center allows you to set and monitor
the operations of the wine cellar easily and accurately.
3. Versatile Shelving System
Your wine cellar's shelving system is designed for optimal
wine storage. This system includes two convertible display
shelves that lay flat for normal storage or convert to display
shelves to beautifully display your wine. All shelves are
coated to absorb vibration and prevent unnecessary
movement. Shelves pull forward on roller bearing glides
and remain level at full extension allowing for easy loading
and unloading and are fully removable for easy cleaning.
Shelves are designed to accommodate different bottles
sizes and shapes including standard bottle, half-size bottles
and magnums. Shelves may need to be removed to store
some bottles.
4. Energy Efficient/UV Resistant Glass
Glass door units are energy efficient and UV resistant. The
doors are insulated and coated to protect against UV rays.
5. Low Intensity Lighting
The low intensity lighting system allows wines to be
displayed without compromising wine integrity. Lights can
be set so that they stay on for display purposes or to only
come on when the door is opened.
6. Black Interior
The wine cellar's black interior not only provides a stylish
backdrop for your prized wines but absorbs harmful light
and protects your wines.
7. High Temperature Alarm (behind grille)
Your wine cellar has a high temperature alarm feature that
will sound if temperatures within your wine cellar fluctuate
outside of your set point by 5 degrees for an extended
period of time.
8. Open Door Alarm (behind grille)
The door alarm feature alerts you if you have left the wine
cellar's door open for more than 3 minutes.
9. Home Security System Connection (behind
grille)
For added peace of mind, your wine cellar can be
connected to your home security system to alert you while
away from home if the temperatures within your wine cellar
fluctuate outside of your set point by 5 degrees for an
extended period of time.
10. Door Stop Settings
For utmost flexibility, the wine cellar door stop can easily
be set to 90, 110, or 120 degrees, allowing it to be used
in many different applications.

Wine Storage Guidelines
ines that are stored for a long period of time should
W
e stored at a stable temperature in a dark, vibration
b
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
emperatures for different types of wines.
t
The ambient temperature of the room you locate
•
our wine cellar in could affect the temperature in
y
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. Temperatures inside 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 Wine Serving 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]).
