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 GENERAL 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
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!
