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.

STORING WINES

Storing wines at the proper temperature is important. Stored too cold, the aroma and flavor of the wine will be diminished. Stored too warm, the flavor of the wine can become too harsh, flat in flavor, or taste too strongly alcoholic. Because it is carefully limited to a temperature range that will preserve and enhance wines, any setting of the Cuisinart Private Reserve Wine Cellar is appropriate for storing most wines. The only exceptions are: Champagne is best stored at presets 1, 2 or 3 Red wine is best stored at presets 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8

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 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 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 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!

CLEANING AND CARE

Always unplug the wine cooler before cleaning. Do not use benzene, scrubbing brushes or chemical cleaners, as these will damage the unit. Use only a mild, nonabrasive cleanser to clean the exterior of the cabinet. Clean the stainless steel door and handle by wiping with a damp cloth. Wash the inside surface with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water. Wash the racks with a mild detergent solution. Always dry all the parts with a clean dry cloth before plugging the wine cooler back into the receptacle.
