WINE CELLAR
1
3
Remove all packaging material. This includes
all adhesive tape holding the wine cellar
accessories inside and outside.
You may want to keep the box and packing
materials for use at a later date.

all protective paper and wrapping, wipe
housing and internal chamber with a damp
cloth to remove any dust from the warehouse
or shipping.

Avoid the use of three-prong plug adapters or
cutting off the grounding prong in order to
accommodate a two-plug outlet. This is a
dangerous practice since it provides no effective
grounding for the wine cellar and may result in a
shock hazard.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Important: When using the wine cellar for the
first time, allow at least 48 hours for the
internal temperature to adjust properly. Make
sure there are at least 1 to 3 bottles in both
chambers.
ALWAYS REMOVE ALL BOTTLES BEFORE
MOVING THE WINE CELLAR.
Leveling your Wine Cellar
Your wine cellar has 4 leveling legs. After properly
placing your wine cellar in its final position, you
can level your wine cellar.
Using your Wine Cellar
Place your wine cellar on a flat surface that is
strong enough to support it when fully loaded.
(Please note that the leg that stands on the hinge
is the shorter leg.)
Allow at least 3 inches between the rear of the unit
and the wall.
Leveling legs can be adjusted by turning them
clockwise to raise the wine cellar or by turning
them counterclockwise to lower the cellar.
Gently place/slide the racks in the wine cellar.
Plug the power cord into a standard electrical
outlet and the unit will turn on automatically to the
default setting.
Installation Limitations
Do not place heavy objects on top of the unit.
Do not locate the unit in a moist place or display in
direct sunlight.
Place bottles inside the cellar.
Determine the best setting to use: refer to the
temperature guide for appropriate serving
temperatures (see page 7).
Do not place the unit next to a major appliance
that emits large amounts of heat, such as a
dishwasher, microwave, toaster oven, oven or
barbecue, etc.
The unit’s cooling system operates efficiently with
an ambient temperature of less than 70°F (21°C).
Do not install your wine cellar in any location not
properly insulated or heated (garage, etc).
Proper Air Circulation
Select a suitable location for the wine cellar on a
hard, level and even surface away from direct
sunlight or heat source, e.g., radiators, baseboard
heaters, cooking appliances, etc. Any surface
unevenness should be corrected with the leveling
legs located on the front and rear bottom corners
of the wine cellar. Avoid placing unit where there
may be electrical interference.
To ensure that your wine cellar works at the
maximum efficiency it was designed for, you
should install it in a location where there is proper
air circulation and electrical connections.
Allow 5 inches of space for the right side and 3
inches of space for both the left and rear sides of
the wine cellar for proper ventilation.
To ensure proper internal air circulation, do not
overfill your wine cellar.
NOTE: To minimize the risk of rusting, leakage
and insulation damage, avoid placing the unit
in a place where heavy moisture is present.
Under no circumstances spill or directly apply
water onto or into the unit.
This wine cellar is designed to be freestanding
only, and should not be recessed or built in
(fully recessed).
NOTE: Allow enough space in the front of
the unit to open the door 120°.
Installing the Water Tray
The purpose of the water tray is to receive the
condensation drained from the interior. The
collected water will evaporate so there is no need
to remove the water manually.
Electrical Requirements
Do not plug unit into the same outlet as a
refrigerator or microwave.
Make sure there is a suitable power outlet
(120 volts, 15 amps) with proper grounding to
power the wine cellar.

To install the water tray, simply slide it in from the
rear of the cellar along the track, which is located
beneath the cabinet body.
For this model, when the ambient temperature
is 77˚F, the lowest temperature that can be
reached is 46-48˚F. When ambient temperature
is 70˚F, the cabinet temperature can reach
approximately 39-41˚F.

Ignoring this warning may result in injury
or death.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The built-in microprocessor will not allow the
user to set the temperature above 68°F (20°C)
or below 39°F (7°C) because wine should not
be stored outside this range. When initially
turned on, the LED will show the default
setting at 55˚F. Your wine cellar has an
electronic temperature control on the front of
the unit. You can set the temperature of your
wine cellar at any setting from 39˚ to 68˚F. the
LED will then display the set temperature
Caution: Before using cleaning products,
always read and follow manufacturer’s
instructions and warnings to avoid personal
injury or product damage.
General Cleaning
Prepare a cleaning solution of 3 to 4 tablespoons
of baking soda mixed with warm water. Use
sponge or soft cloth, dampened with the cleaning
solution, to wipe down the interior and exterior of
your wine cellar. Rinse with clean warm water and
dry with a soft cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals,
abrasives, ammonia, chlorine bleach, concentrated
detergents, solvents or metal scouring pads.
SOME of these chemicals may dissolve, damage
and/or discolor your wine cellar.
NOTE: White wine temperature is kept at a
lower temperature than red wine. Please note
that the actual cabinet temperature in a
thermal electric unit is dependent on the
ambient temperature. You may set the cabinet
temperature within range but the unit may not
reach that temperature.

Power Interruptions
Occasionally there may be power interruptions due
to thunderstorms or other causes. Remove the
power cord from the AC outlet when a power
outage occurs. When power has been restored,
replug the power cord into the AC outlet.
WINE TIPS AND HINTS
When choosing wine, take advantage of the
knowledge of the personnel in the wine store as
well as reviews of wines from wine publications.
The price of a wine is not necessarily indicative
of relative quality. Very good wines can be
purchased at comfortable-for-the-wallet prices.
When you find a comfortably priced wine,
purchase in quantity to have on hand as your
“house wine.” Keep it chilled in your Cuisinart™
Dual Zone Private Reserve® Wine Cellar and be
ready for any occasion.
Pairing wine with food has really become a
matter of personal taste – the rules are no longer
hard and fast that white wine is paired only with
fish or light meats and red wine is paired only
with red meats. A Pinot Noir can complement a
grilled fish just as well as it complements a
grilled fillet of beef.
What needs to be kept in mind is the personality
of the wine itself, the preparation of the foods,
and the tastes of those who will be enjoying
them. You may want to open a bottle each of red
and white and allow your guests to choose.
The wine should please the diner, and never
overpower or fight with the food with which it
is served. Likewise, the food should not
overpower or fight with the wine.
Wine is a part of healthy living – the USDA’s
guidelines are based upon the “Mediterranean
diet.” They include wine in moderation – for
women this is one glass per day and two
glasses per day for men. A glass size is 4
ounces. The difference in gender amount
is based upon body size.
As for cooking with wine – never cook with
a wine that you would not drink!

according to its preference, either repair the product, refer
the consumer to an independent repair facility, replace the
product, or refund the purchase price less the amount
directly attributable to the consumer’s prior usage of the
