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.

while pulling the tab on left guide up, and pull
the drawer out.
To replace:

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.
