The wine cellar may be connected to your home security system to protect your wine while away from home. Contact a qualified technician or your home security system representative and refer to the wine cellar installation instructions.

Door Stop Adjustment

Your wine cellar is factory set at 110° door stop position. To change to either the 90° or 120° position, remove door stop pin located in the bottom hinge using a 3/16” allen wrench. For 120° swing, move pin to utmost forward stop hole. For 90° swing, move pin to utmost rear stop hole.

Wine Storage Guidelines

Wines that are stored for a long period of time should be 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 temperatures for different types of wines.

•The ambient temperature of the room you locate your 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.

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]).
