IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be taken to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury, including the following:
- Use this appliance only as described in this manual. Other uses not recommended may cause fire, electric shock or personal injury.
- This product is intended for household use only.
- To protect against electric shock, do not immerse unit, plug or cord in water or spray with liquids.
- Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children or individuals with certain disabilities.
- Unplug from the outlet when not in use, when moving from one location to another, and before cleaning.
- To disconnect the appliance, grip the plug and pull it from the wall outlet. Never pull by the cord.
- Do not operate the appliance in the presence of explosives and/or flammable fumes.
- Do not place the appliance or any of its parts near an open flame, cooking or other heating appliance.
- Do not operate the appliance with a damaged cord or plug, if the product malfunctions, or if it is dropped or damaged in any manner.
- The use of attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may be hazardous.
- Place the unit on a dry level surface.
- Do not operate if the housing is removed or damaged.
-
A loose fit between the AC outlet (receptacle) and plug may cause overheating and a distortion of the plug. Contact a qualified electrician to replace loose or worn outlet.
-
This appliance is designed to be freestanding only, and should not be recessed or built in (fully recessed).
- Locate the unit away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight will affect/alter the outside color of the appliance.
- Do not operate your appliance in an appliance garage or under a wall cabinet. When storing in an appliance garage, always unplug the unit from the electrical outlet. Not doing so could create a risk of fire, especially if the appliance touches the walls of the garage or the door touches the unit as it closes.
- Risk of child entrapment. Before you throw away old appliance, take off the doors. Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury, unplug or disconnect the appliance from the power supply before servicing.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated, dangerous voltage within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of fire or electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.
SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.
NOTICE
For your protection, this unit is equipped with a 3-conductor cord set that has a molded 3-prong grounding-type plug, and should be used in combination with a properly connected grounding-type outlet. If a grounding-type outlet is not available, an adapter may be obtained so that a 2-slot wall outlet can be used with a 3-prong plug. The adapter must be grounded by attaching its grounding lug under the screw of the outlet cover plate.
CAUTION
NOTE: Do not remove the grounding prong.
CAUTION: Before using an adapter, it must be determined that the outlet cover plate screw is properly grounded. If in doubt, consult a licensed electrician. Never use an adapter unless you are sure it is properly grounded.
NOTE: Use of an adapter is not permitted in Canada.
- Do not immerse base in water.
- To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not disassemble the base.
NOTE: The base does not contain any user-serviceable parts.
• Repairs should be made only by authorized personnel. - Check voltage to be sure that the voltage indicated on the nameplate agrees with your voltage.
- Never clean with scouring powders or hard, abrasive implements.

IMPORTANT UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS
Remove all packing 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.
Before using your Cuisinart® Private Reserve® Dual Zone Wine Cellar for the first time, remove all protective paper and wrapping. Wipe housing and internal chamber with a damp cloth to remove any dust from the warehouse or shipping.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- Two Separate Temperature/Interior Light Controls and Blue-Lit Temperature Display.
- Removable Shelves
- 6-Bottle Compartment
- Tempered Glass Door
- 12-Bottle Compartment
- Leveling Legs
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CONTROL PANEL
1. Digital Temperature Display
Illuminates when pressed to indicate interior temperature.
2. Temperature Adjustment/Control
To change temperature, press the (+) or (-) button until the desired temperature appears in the display.
IMPORTANT NOTE: In order to operate efficiently, thermoelectric products should be in an environment with an ambient temperature of less than 70^ F ( 21^ C).
3. Interior Light Control
Your wine cellar also has a light for your viewing pleasure. The interior display light option allows you to showcase your personal collection of wines. To activate this feature, press the light button. This button is located on the control panel (see above). The interior light will remain on until light button is pressed again. Under normal operation, it is best for the light to remain off.
NOTE: White wine temperature is kept at a lower temperature than red wine.
By pressing the (+) temperature button on the display, you can increase the temperature; pressing the (-) temperature button will lower the temperature.
Please note that the actual cabinet temperature in a thermoelectric unit is dependent on the ambient temperature.
You may set the cabinet temperature within range, but the unit may not reach that temperature.
For this model, when the ambient temperature is 77^ F, the lowest temperature that can be reached is 50^ F– 52^ F. When ambient temperature is 66^ F, the cabinet temperature can reach approximately 39^ F– 41^ F.
4. Dual Zone Operation; Setting the Temperature Controls (manually)
At any time, you can manually adjust the temperature. Simply press the (-) button on the chosen zone control panel to lower the temperature and the (+) button to increase the temperature. Refer to Wine Storage Chart on page 8 for recommended temperature settings.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The built-in microprocessor will not allow the user to set the temperature above 68^ F ( 20^ C) or below 39^ F ( 4^ C).
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 compartments.
ALWAYS REMOVE ALL BOTTLES BEFORE MOVING THE WINE CELLAR.
USING YOUR WINE CELLAR
Place your wine cellar on a flat surface that is strong enough to support it when fully loaded.
Gently place/slide the racks into the wine cellar.
Plug the power cord into a grounded 3 prong outlet and the unit will turn on automatically to the default setting.
Place bottles inside the cellar.
Determine the best setting to use: Refer to the temperature guide for appropriate serving temperatures (see page 8).
The unit's cooling system operates efficiently with an ambient temperature of less than 70^ (21°C).
PROPER AIR CIRCULATION
To assure 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 2 inches of space from a wall on both sides and rear of the wine cellar to allow proper ventilation.
To ensure proper internal air circulation, do not overfill your wine cellar.
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°.
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.
Avoid the use of three-prong plug adapters or cutting off the grounding prong in order to accommodate a two-prong outlet. This is a dangerous practice since it provides no effective grounding for the wine cellar and may result in a shock hazard.
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.
(Please note that the leg that stands on the hinge is the shorter leg.)
Leveling legs can be adjusted by turning them clockwise to raise the wine cellar or by turning them counterclockwise to lower the wine cellar.
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.
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.
Do not install your wine cellar in any location not properly insulated or heated (garage, etc.).
Select a suitable location for the wine cellar on a hard, 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.
NOTE: To minimize the risk of rusting, leakage and insulation damage, avoid placing the unit where heavy moisture is present. Under no circumstances spill or directly apply water onto or into the unit.
INSTALLING AND MAINTAINING YOUR AIR FILTER
Your wine cellar has a removable air filter that helps keep the fan and motor free of dust and dirt. It is easy to install and remove, and should be cleaned every 3 months.
TO INSTALL:
Align the tabs on the air filter with the slots on the back of your wine cellar. Turn the filter counterclockwise to lock it in place.
TO CLEAN:
Remove the air filter and wash with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly, dry completely, and re-install it in the back of the wine cellar.

Warning: To avoid electric shock, always unplug your wine cellar before cleaning. Ignoring this warning may result in death or injury.
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 3–4 tablespoons of baking soda mixed with warm water. Use sponge or soft cloth, dampened with the cleaning solution, to wipe down 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.
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 the power has been restored, replug the power cord into the AC outlet.
VACATION AND MOVING CARE
For long vacations or absences, unplug the unit, empty contents from wine cellar, and clean the wine cellar and door gaskets according to General Cleaning section. Prop doors open, so air can circulate inside. When moving, always keep the wine cellar upright. Do not move the unit lying on its side.
Maintenance
Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
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 ^® Private Reserve ^® Dual Zone Wine Cellar and you’ll 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!

This warranty is available to U.S. consumers only.

Except as otherwise required under applicable law, this warranty is not available to retailers or other commercial purchasers or owners.

CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY:
California law provides that for In-Warranty Service, California residents have the option of returning a nonconforming product (A) to the store where it was purchased or (B) to another retail store which sells Cuisinart products of the same type.
The retail store shall then, at its discretion, 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 product. If the above two options do not result in the appropriate relief to the consumer, the consumer may then take the product to an independent repair facility if service or repair can be economically accomplished. Cuisinart and not the consumer will be responsible for the reasonable cost of such service, repair, replacement, or refund for nonconforming products under warranty.
California residents may also, according to their preference, return nonconforming products directly to Cuisinart for repair, or if necessary, replacement, by calling our Consumer Service Center toll-free at 1-800-726-0190.
