SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS
For your protection, this unit is equipped with a 3-conductor cordset 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. Referring to 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.

Wipe housing and internal chamber with a damp cloth to remove any dust from the warehouse or shipping. 2 1

INTRODUCTION

Different wines must be served at different temperatures to optimize flavor, and your Private Reserve Wine Cellar has a patented program with convenient presets at the temperatures recommended by experts for each type of wine. Youll love the way this traditionally styled countertop wine cellar looks in your kitchen. With its smooth brushed stainless steel door, tinted glass window, and soft interior lighting that you can leave on or turn off, its an elegant way to ensure that your favorite wines and champagnes are beautifully displayed and ready to serve.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Place your wine cellar on a flat surface that is strong enough to support it when fully loaded. 2. Allow 5" (15cm) of space on the right side of the wine cooler to allow proper ventilation. 3. This wine cellar is designed to be freestanding only, and should not be recessed or built-in (fully recessed). 4. Do not place heavy objects on top of the unit. 5. Do not locate the unit in a moist place or display in direct sunlight. 6. 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. 7. Do not plug unit into the same outlet as a refrigerator or microwave. 8. The units cooling system operates efficiently with an ambient temperature of less than 70F (21C). 9. Gently place/slide the racks in the wine cooler. Note that two of the racks are designed to accommodate the circulating fan. 10. Determine the best setting to use: refer to the temperature guides for appropriate serving or storing presets (see pages 4 to 5). An easy reference guide for serving temperatures is also found on the inside door. 11. Place bottles inside the cooler. 12. Plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet. Important: When using the wine cellar for the first time, allow at least 24 hours for the internal temperature to adjust properly. Make sure there are at least 3 to 5 bottles in the unit. ALWAYS REMOVE ALL BOTTLES BEFORE MOVING THE WINE COOLER

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

Important note: In order to operate efficiently, thermoelectric products should be in an environment with an ambient temperature of less than 70F (21C). Setting the temperature control (presets): For your convenience, the Cuisinart Private Reserve Wine Cellar is programmed with eight presets, to accommodate any variety of wine. To change the preset temperature in the wine cooler, simply press the Preset button until the desired preset number (1 to 8) appears.The following sections about storing and serving wines (see pages 4 to 5) will advise the optimal settings for your wine. You will also find a reference chart printed directly on the inside of the wine cellars door. Setting the temperature control (manually): If desired, you can manually adjust the temperature. Simply press the (-) button on the control panel to lower the temperature and the (+) button to increase the temperature inside the wine cooler. The temperature range is limited to a range from 45F (7C) to 68F (20C). However, we strongly recommend using the programmed presets. Setting the thermostat to Celsius or Fahrenheit: For manually set temperatures, you can change the temperature display from C to F and viceversa. Simply press the C/F control to switch back and forth. LED indicators on the control panel show the mode selected.

SERVING WINES

In the chart below, an asterisk (*) following a type of wine suggests the optimal setting for this style of wine. Accordingly, we recommend serving the following wines at the settings noted: ros full-bodied white wine light red wine medium red red wines/bold red wines white wine champagne/sparkling wine fruit/dessert wine
If you have a variety of white wines in the cabinet, Preset #6 is recommended. A variety of red wines should be set at Preset #5.
SERVING TEMPERATURE CHART PRESET WINE TYPE
Light red Ros* Full-bodied white* (e.g., French white Burgundies) Light red Ros Light red* (e.g., Beaujolais or Valpolicella) Medium reds* (e.g., Pinot Noir) Bolder reds* (e.g., Bordeaux, Rhne, Barolo, Chianti, Cabernet Sauvignon) Champagne/sparkling wine White wine* Champagne/sparkling wine* Light white Champagne/sparkling wine Fruit/dessert wine*

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 6,7 or 8 Red wine is best stored at presets 1,2,3,4 or 5

STORAGE TEMPERATURE CHART PRESET WINE TYPE
Red Light red Red Light red Red Light red Red Light red Red Light red White Fruit/dessert wine White Fruit/dessert wine White Fruit/dessert wine White Fruit/dessert wine White Fruit/dessert wine
Light red White Champagne/sparkling wine Fruit/dessert wine Light red White Champagne/sparkling wine Fruit/dessert wine Light red White Champagne/sparkling wine Fruit/dessert wine

INTERIOR LIGHT CONTROL

The interior display light option allows you to showcase your personal collection of wines. To activate this feature, move the display light switch to the ON position. This switch is located INSIDE the door, above the window (see Parts, page 2). The interior light will remain ON permanently while in this position. When in the OFF position, the interior light will illuminate only when the door is opened.
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 with fish or light meats only 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.

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 its quality or whether you will like it. Very good
