A. INSTALLING THE WINE CELLAR

1. Before using the Cuisinart® wine cellar for the first time, wipe the housing and internal chamber with a damp cloth.
2. Read the «Cleaning and storage» section for more information.
3. Place the wine cellar on an even and level surface, solid enough to support the weight of the unit when it is full.
4. Allow at least 15 cm on both sides and at the rear of the unit for proper ventilation. This unit is not designed to be fully recessed in another piece of furniture.
5. The unit operates most efficiently with an ambient temperature of less than 21^ C.
6. Read the «Safety precautions» section for more information.

B. USE OF THE APPLIANCE

IMPORTANT! When using the wine cellar for the first time, wait at least 24 hours for the internal temperature to adjust properly. Make sure there are at least 3 bottles in the wine cellar.

C. TEMPERATURE CONTROL

Important: to operate properly, thermoelectric appliances should be in an environment where the ambient temperature is less than 21^ C. The minimum temperature of the unit is 7^ C and its maximum temperature is 20^ C.

Using Celsius or Fahrenheit units

For manual adjustment of the temperature, the unit of measure can be changed from Celsius to Fahrenheit and vice versa.

Adjusting the temperature using the presets

For your convenience, the Cuisinart® wine cellar has been programmed with eight temperature presets, each corresponding to a type of wine. To change the temperature settings, simply press the «Preset» button on the control panel located on the inside of the unit until the desired preset (1 to 8) appears. The preset will blink a few seconds, then disappear and the pre-selected temperature will reappear on the screen and flash until it is reached. You will need to wait a moment for the temperature of the wine cellar to reach the pre-selected temperature.

Manual temperature adjustment

It is also possible to adjust the temperature of the Cuisinart ^® wine cellar manually. First, press the manual adjustment button, then simply press the «-» button on the control panel to lower the temperature or the «+» button to raise it. The desired temperature will then flash on the screen until it is reached. You will need to wait a moment for the unit to reach the selected temperature.

D. Storing wine

It is essential that wine be stored at the right temperature. Wine stored at a temperature that is too low will lose its fragrance and flavour. Wine stored at a temperature that is too high will taste too harsh or lose its taste, or its alcohol content.

4. ADVICE FROM CHEFS

Cuisinart

1. When the cellar is full of different types of wine (white, rose, red), it is preferable to set the temperature at 16^ C, which is suitable for all types of wine, and then to chill bottles of white or rose before serving them.
2. No wine can withstand temperatures higher than 19^ C or 20^ C.
3. A wine brought to room temperature (chambréd) means it is served at a temperature between 15^ C and 17^ C.
4. To serve a vintage red wine, wrap it in a cool, damp towel.
5. Place your wine cellar in the kitchen away from direct sunlight. This will prevent altering the filter qualities of the tinted panes and will prolong the life of the wines.
6. Many professionals believe that there is no advantage to opening a bottle of wine long before serving. The surface area of the wine in the bottleneck that will be in contact with the air is far too small to improve the taste.
7. Decanting may be useful to air a young or robust wine that still contains traces of gas or to separate the wine from the deposit that has fallen to the bottom of the bottle. It could also begin the oxidation process that will

improve the taste. An old wine should be decanted as close to serving as possible to limit the oxidation that results when the wine is exposed to air after many years in the bottle.

1. Always cut the bottle capsule under the glass ring of the bottle, and not above, to prevent the wine from coming into contact with the metal.

2. Wine is said to be corked when it has taken the mouldy taste of the cork because of the presence of an insect in the cork.
