A note on thermoelectric cooling

This EdgeStar wine cooler uses a thermoelectric Peltier unit to

provide environmentally-friendly, CFC-free cooling. In

addition to energy efficiency, and the previously-mentioned

environmental-friendliness, thermoelectric cooling is very

quiet, making it ideal for homes and offices.

While thermoelectric cooling offers many benefits, the

cooling performance of thermoelectric units tends to

strongly correlate to the environment in which the units are

located. In other words- the cooler the environment, the

better the cooling perfromance of the wine cooler.

In light of the above, it is helpful to note that this wine cooler

was designed for use in a “room temperature” environment

(i.e., with ambient temperatures in the mid-70’s).

Please note that this appliance is a wine cooler- not a refrig-

erator. If you feel that the wine cooler is not cold enough, we

suggest making sure the unit is on its lowest setting, giving

the unit at least 24 hours to cool, and making sure the unit is

not exposed to direct sunlight or excessive heat.

Temperature range

The upper zone has a temperature range of 45°-54° (F) under

ideal conditions (see Notes on thermoelectric cooling for

more info). This zone is ideal for white wines. The lower zone

has a temperature range of 54°-64° (F) under ideal conditions

and is ideal for red wine. As detailed above, you can set your

desired temperatures using the control panel.

For your reference, many wine experts suggest that 55°F is an

ideal temperature for storage of most varieties of wine.

However, the ideal drinking temperatures for most wines

differ. We suggest you do a little research to determine at

what temperatures you most enjoy your favorite wines, but

we suggest temperatures in the low 50’s for white wines and

“room” temperatures (or slightly cooler) for red wines.

Power and controls

Once your wine cooler is completely unpacked and set up,

you can plug it in and begin using it.

Operation of the control panel is quite simple- use the “/\” and

“\/” buttons to select your desired temperature. “/\” means up

and “\/” means down. The buttons on the right correspond to

the “lower zone” and the lower temperature read-out. The

buttons on the left correspond to the “upper zone” and the

upper temperature read-out.

Once the display shows your desired temperature, stop

adjusting the temperature. The temperature you selected will

blink in the display- then the display will change to reflect the

actual temperature inside the unit. If you would like to review

your desired temperature again, simply press the “/\” or “\/”

button again.

To turn the light on or off, locate the light switch (inside the

unit on the upper right side. This switch toggles the LED light

on and off. There is one light switch that controls both zones.
