Temperature Control  
Interior Light and Switch  
The interior light makes it easy to view your  
wine/beverage labels and enhances the display  
of your collection.  
The operating temperatures of the appliance  
range from the low forties to the mid fifties.  
Do not install the appliance where the  
temperature will go below 55°F (13°C) or above  
90°F (32°C).  
When the switch is in the OFF position, the  
light comes on only when the door is opened.  
When the switch is in the ON position, the light  
remains on continuously for your maximum  
viewing pleasure. For best viewing do not store  
a bottle on the top shelf directly under the light.  
Remember to turn off the light when it is no  
longer needed.  
NOTES:  
As with any refrigeration product, there is a  
slight temperature variance at different locations  
within the cabinet.  
Temperatures at the bottom of the cabinet will  
be cooler than temperatures at the top of the  
cabinet.  
Place in slots when replacing the shelf  
Glass Shelves  
Tempered glass shelves in the beverage cooler  
unit are removable for easy cleaning or for  
storing larger items.  
Removing Full Extension Drawers  
Position your wine inventory accordingly (i.e.  
white wines in the cooler zones and red in the  
warmer zones).  
The bottom full extension drawers pull out so  
bottles can conveniently be added or removed.  
To remove a shelf, open the door completely to  
avoid potential damage to the gasket. Lift up on  
the back of the shelf slightly. Tilt the shelf to one  
side at an angle while pulling forward.  
The upper full extension slide can be removed  
for magnums or larger bottles.  
When the temperature is adjusted, allow 24  
hours for the unit to stabilize.  
To remove:  
Beverage Cooler  
To replace a shelf, open the door completely  
to avoid potential damage to the gasket. Tilt the  
shelf to one side at an angle and slide toward  
the back wall, placing one side onto the shelf  
support. Place the other side onto the opposite  
shelf support. Ensure rear locking tabs are  
engaged. When installed properly, the shelf will  
not slide forward when gently pulled.  
1. Pull the full extension drawer out to the STOP  
position.  
To set the control, turn it to the midpoint setting  
(approximately 45ºF). Once the beverage cooler  
is loaded, allow at least 24 hours before making  
any adjustments to the initial setting.  
2. Push the tab on right drawer guide down  
while pulling the tab on left guide up, and pull  
the drawer out.  
To replace:  
1. Push the drawer slide arm back into the unit.  
2. Pull the small slide sub assembly completely  
forward.  
3. Insert the sides of the drawer back into the  
guides.

The RED WINE setting will provide a storage  
temperature of approximately 55ºF (13ºC),  
which is optimum for the storage for red wine.  
The WHITE WINE setting will provide a storage  
temperature of approximately 45ºF (7ºC), which  
is optimum for white wine.  
To remove, lift up on the back of the shelf  
To set the control, turn it to the RED WINE  
setting. Once the bottles are loaded, allow at  
least 24 hours before making any adjustments  
to the initial setting.

Wood Drawer Fronts  
Care and Cleaning  
Light Bulb Replacement  
Unplug the beverage cooler before replacing the  
light bulb.  
WARNING:  
The full extension drawer fronts on the beverage  
cooler are unfinished maple wood. During use,  
oil from hands may accumulate and stain the  
wood.  
Unplug the appliance before cleaning.  
To remove the light shield, push in the tab on  
the left side of the shield and lower it. Replace  
with a 15 watt appliance bulb.  
Cabinet  
The drawer fronts may be stained and  
sealed to match adjacent cabinetry. The  
tinted glass will make the stained wood  
appear darker. A true color match can be  
seen only when the door is opened.  
The exterior surfaces can be washed with mild  
soap and water. Rinse thoroughly with clear  
water. Never use abrasive scouring powders.  
In the Event of a Power Failure  
If the power fails, open the door as infrequently  
as possible to maintain the temperature.  
Glass Door  
Apply the stain and sealer according to  
the manufacturer’s instructions. To avoid  
unpleasant odor, keep the door open to  
ventilate and allow the stain/sealer to dry  
completely before using the product.  
Use a glass cleaner or mild soap and water and  
a soft cloth to clean the glass door. Do not use  
any abrasive powders.  
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable  
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any  
other appliance.  
Door Gasket  
NOTE:  
The vinyl gasket may be cleaned with mild soap  
and water, a baking soda solution or a mild  
scouring powder. Rinse well.  
Natural wood may vary slightly in grain and  
color.  
After cleaning the door gasket, apply a thin layer  
of paraffin wax or petroleum jelly to the door  
gasket at the hinge side. This helps keep the  
gasket from sticking and bending out of shape.  
Loading Tips and Suggestions  
WARNING:  
Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on  
the beverage cooler shelves or full extension  
drawers. They could seriously injure themselves  
and possibly cause damage to the beverage  
cooler.  
Cleaning the Inside  
Turn the appliance OFF or unplug the unit  
before cleaning. Use a slightly damp cloth or  
sponge when cleaning around switches, lights  
or controls.  
NOTE:  
This unit is for storing beverages only and not  
intended for the storage of perishable foods.  
Use warm water and baking soda solution—  
about a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to  
a quart (1 liter) of water. This both cleans and  
neutralizes odors. Thoroughly rinse and wipe  
dry.  
The bottom two full extension drawers hold six  
bottles each and are loaded with necks facing  
the rear. Tall bottles should not be loaded on the  
bottom drawer because they may prevent the  
door from closing.  
Other parts of the appliance—including the  
door gaskets, full extension drawers and glass  
shelves—can be cleaned the same way.  
The top five full extension drawers (EWC model  
only) each hold eight bottles, two deep with the  
necks alternating front to back or nine bottles,  
alternating with necks pointing inward.  
Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves with hot water  
because the extreme temperature difference  
may cause them to break. Handle glass shelves  
carefully. Rough handling of tempered glass can  
cause it to shatter.  
The bottles on the top full extension  
drawer, directly under the light, will be  
exposed to a slightly higher temperature  
when the light is on. Position your wines  
accordingly and remember to turn off the  
light when it is no longer needed.  
Drain Hole  
Periodically check the drain hole and channel for  
any debris. If the drain is blocked, condensation  
will not drain properly.  
Keep wines that you plan to use for  
everyday drinking and entertaining  
on the front half of the full extension  
drawers where labels are completely  
visible. Place wines for aging or longer  
term storage in the rear.  
To check and clean the drain hole, remove  
the bottom two glass shelves. Sweep a damp  
cloth along the channel in the back of the  
beverage cooler. Use a finger to sweep away  
any debris from the drain hole.
