Service alert—an indicator light in the LED display on
Dual temperature zones—all wine storage models
•
allow you to have precise independent temperature
control within one degree of your preset temperature
in each of the two temperature zones.
• Model 427RG has a third temperature zone—
bulk storage drawers—for items to be stored at a
cooler temperature than your wine.
• Electronic controls—a microprocessor controls all
electronic functions and allows you to monitor the
exact temperature you have preset and make adjustments easily.
• Correct temperature—each temperature zone of your
wine storage unit has a range of 39°F
(18°C), and your set temperature is shown in the LED
(4°C) to 65°F
display, located on the control panel.

TEMPERATURE
CONTROLS
Electronic Control System
he electronic control system of your Sub-Zero wine
T
storage unit gives you the most accurate temperature
control for your peace of mind. You can be assured your
wine is stored at the temperature you have selected,
whether it is long-term aging or staging wine for consumption that evening.
A microprocessor accurately samples the temperature
every second in each zone to be sure the temperatures
stay within one degree of your preset temperatures. It also
monitors the unit’s operation and will let you know if
service may be necessary.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
With all Sub-Zero wine storage models you have the capability of setting two distinct temperatures within the two
zones of your unit. The temperature range in each zone is
39°F
(4°C) to 65°F (18°C).
Your wine storage unit has been thoroughly tested and
inspected before it was shipped from the factory. The
temperature has been preset at 45°F
zone and 55°F
(13°C) in the larger zone.
(7°C) in the smaller
he COLDER key pad on the control panel allows you to
T
decrease the temperature in the corresponding zone by
one degree each time you press the key pad. Similar to
the COLDER key pad, you can raise the temperature in the
corresponding zone by one degree each time you press
the WARMER key pad on the control panel.
TEMPERATURE DISPLAY
The electronic control system can display temperatures in
Fahrenheit (°F) or Celsius (°C).
To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, turn the unit off then
back on. Within the first minute after turning the unit on,
press and hold the the key pad and the UNIT ON/OFF
key pad simultaneously for five seconds, then release. A
‘C’ will appear in the upper right of the temperature
readings on the LED. Follow the same procedure to
convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit.
There are two sets of WARMER and COLDER key pads on
the control panel, one for each of the two separate
temperature zones. An arrow next to the temperature in
the LED display, will indicate which temperature corresponds with each zone. Refer to the illustration below.
