Automatic Defrost

A thin layer of ice may accumulate on the rear
interior wall; this is normal. The ice will be
automatically defrosted once the compressor
cycles off. Water will drain through an outlet in
the inner rear wall into a drain pan located next
to the compressor. It will evaporate; there is no
need to empty the pan.

Power Interruptions

If power is interrupted due to a storm or
other cause, the unit will power off and
automatically restart after 3 to 5 minutes. You
cannot restart the unit before this time delay.
If the unit is unplugged, once it is plugged
back in, it will take 3 to 5 minutes to restart.
NOTE: Once power is recovered, it will
reset to the default temperature of 50°F.

Vacation and Moving Care

For extended periods of time away from
home, you may want to unplug and empty
your wine cellar, then clean it following the
directions under GENERAL CLEANING. If
time away is very long, prop the doors open
to allow air to circulate inside.
Moving Your Wine Cellar
Before moving, unplug the unit, remove all
bottles and shelves, and clean the cellar
following the directions under CLEANING.
Replace shelves and tie or tape the door to
secure it in the closed position before moving
the unit.
BE SURE THE WINE CELLAR REMAINS
UPRIGHT AT ALL TIMES.

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 Compressor 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 USDA's
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!
