-
A loose fi t between the AC outlet (receptacle) and plug may cause overheating and a distortion of the plug. Contact a qualifi ed 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.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fi re, electric shock or personal injury, unplug or disconnect the appliance from the power supply before servicing.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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 as shown in figure A. If a grounding-type outlet is not available, an adapter, shown in Figure B, may be obtained so
that a 2-slot wall outlet can be used with a 3-prong plug. As shown in Figure C, the adapter must be grounded by attaching its grounding lug under the screw of the outlet cover plate.
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.

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.
Using your Wine Cellar
Place your wine cellar on a flat surface that is strong enough to support it when fully loaded.
Allow at least 3 inches between the rear of the unit and the wall.
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.
Place bottles inside the cellar.
Determine the best setting to use: refer to the temperature guide for appropriate serving temperatures (see page 7).
The unit's cooling system operates efficiently with an ambient temperature of less than 70^ (21°C).
Proper Air Circulation
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 overfi ll 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-plug 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 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, 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.
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.
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.
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.
WINE CELLAR FEATURES AND USE
Temperature Adjustments/Control
Important note: In order to operate efficiently, thermoelectric products should be in an environment with an ambient temperature of not more than 70^ F ( 21^ C).
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 7 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 ( 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
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.
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.
INTERIOR LIGHT CONTROL
Your wine cellar has two lights for your viewing pleasure. The interior display light option allows you to showcase your personal collection of wines. To activate this feature, press the display light button. The interior light will remain on until the light button is pressed again. Under normal operation it is best for the light to remain off.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Warning: To avoid electric shock, always unplug your wine cellar before cleaning. Ignoring this warning may result in injury or death.
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.
Zone Control
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 fi sh or light meats and red wine is paired only with red meats. A Pinot Noir can complement a grilled fi sh just as well as it complements a grilled fi llet 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!

Limited Three-Year Warranty
This warranty is available to consumers only. You are a consumer if you own a Cuisinart™ Dual Zone Private Reserve® Wine Cellar that was purchased at retail for personal, family or household use. 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 that sells Cuisinart products of the same type.

If neither of the above two options results 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.
