SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS

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 as shown in fi gure A. If a grounding-type outlet is not available, an adapter, shown in Figure B, may be obtained so

3

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 rst 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 units cooling system operates efficiently with an ambient temperature of less than 70F (21C).

Proper Air Circulation To ensure that your wine cellar works at the maximum effi ciency 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.

5

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 ef ciently, thermoelectric products should be in an environment with an ambient temperature of not more than 70F (21C).

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 68F (20C) or below 39F (7C) because wine should not be stored outside this range. When initially turned on, the LED will show the default setting at 55F. 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 68F. 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 77F, the lowest temperature that can be reached is 46-48F. When ambient temperature is 70F, the cabinet temperature can reach approximately 39-41F.

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 manufacturers 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.

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 fi nd 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 fi ght with the food with which it is served. Likewise, the food should not overpower or fi ght with the wine.

Wine is a part of healthy living the USDAs 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!
