Wine Storage Use & Care
Electronic Control System
8
The electronic control system of your Sub-Zero wine
storage unit gives you the most accurate temperature
control for your peace of mind. You can be assured your
wine is stored at the temperature you have selected,
whether it is long-term aging or staging wine for consump-
tion that evening.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
With all wine storage models you have the capability of
setting two distinct temperatures within the two zones of
your wine storage unit. Your model has been thoroughly
tested and inspected before it was shipped from the
factory. The temperature has been preset at 45°F (7°C) in
the smaller zone and 55°F (13°C) in the larger zone.
A microprocessor accurately samples the temperature
every second in each zone to be sure the temperatures
stay within one degree of your preset temperatures. It also
monitors the unit’s operation and will let you know if
service may be necessary.
There are two sets of WARMER and COLDER key pads on
the control panel, one for each of the two separate
temperature zones. An arrow next to the temperature in
the LED display, will indicate which temperature corre-
sponds with each zone. Refer to the illustration below.
The COLDER key pad on the control panel allows you to
decrease the temperature in the corresponding zone by
one degree each time you depress the key pad.
Remember that the temperature range in each zone is
38°F (3°C) to 65°F (18°C) and you can set two different
temperatures—one for each zone.
Similar to the COLDER key pad, you can raise the temper-
ature in the corresponding zone by one degree each time
you depress the WARMER key pad on the control panel.

Electronic Control System
LED DISPLAY
ALARM FEATURE
Electronic control system functions, such as digital
temperatures and service indicators, are shown in the LED
display, located on the control panel. The temperatures of
each zone will be visible through the glass door of your
wine storage unit. If you are using your unit frequently, the
numbers may fluctuate.
If the microprocessor detects temperature fluctuations or
a faulty component, you will hear an audible beep and a
bell symbol will flash in the LED display on the control
panel. Also, if the unit is tied in with your home security, it
will alert this system. You can deactivate the alarm feature
and the audible sound by depressing the BELL symbol
key pad. If the alarm is deactivated, the bell will not be
visible in the LED display.
UNIT ON/OFF
The UNIT ON/OFF key pad on the control panel will shut
off all electrical power to the wine storage unit for cleaning
or service.
SABBATH MODE (STAR-K)
All wine storage units feature the Sabbath mode. This is
for certain religious observances where the lights need to
be turned off.
LIGHTS ON/OFF
To initiate Sabbath mode, while the unit is on press the
UNIT ON/OFF key pad so that OFF is visible in the LED
display on the control panel. Your unit will be off.
All wine storage units have the capability of having the
lights on independently of the door’s opening and closing.
This will allow you to display your collection of wine for
special occasions.
Then press and hold the UNIT ON/OFF key pad for 10
seconds. This will turn the unit back on and will disable
the lights. To return the unit to normal lighting, press and
release the UNIT ON/OFF key pad.
To have the lights remain on independently of the door’s
opening and closing, press the LIGHTS ON/OFF key pad.
Press the key pad again to have the lights to go off when
the door is closed.
If you have questions about Star-K compliance, visit
VISUAL SERVICE DISPLAY
You should not leave the lights on overnight or for
extremely long periods of time. The heat from the
lights will cause the unit to work unnecessarily hard.
The electronic control system monitors temperatures as
well as the unit’s operation. If there is a temperature or
operation problem, you will notice the word SERVICE
illuminated in the LED display on the control panel. Before
calling for service, please check to see if your condenser
area needs cleaning. Refer to condenser cleaning on
page 17.

Refrigerator Drawers—Model 427R
Temperature Settings
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
In all instances, the temperature settings are your individ-
ual preference, and with the wine storage model you
purchased, you can be confident the unit will maintain
those temperatures. A chart with suggested storing and
serving temperatures can be found on page 19.
For model 427R, the refrigerator drawers have their own
microprocessor and control panel located in the top
drawer. The preset temperature is 38°F (3°C) from the
factory, but you have the option of adjusting the tempera-
ture within the range of 34°F (1°C) to 45°F (7°C). The LCD
display on the control panel displays the actual tempera-
ture of both drawers in your unit.
While each temperature zone of your wine storage unit has
a range of 38°F (3°C) to 65°F (18°C), you can set the
temperatures at the exact temperature you think best—
whether it’s for consumption or for duplicating the temper-
atures of cellars for long term storage.
The COLDER key pad on the control panel allows you to
decrease the temperature of the drawers by one degree
each time you depress the key pad. You can raise the
temperature in the drawers by one degree each time you
depress the WARMER key pad on the control panel.
ALARM FEATURE
For model 427R, an alarm will make an audible beeping
sound if a drawer has been left open accidentally.
When the alarm is activated, a bell symbol will be illumi-
nated in the LCD display of the control panel. When the
alarm is deactivated, the bell symbol will not be visible.

shelf before removing it.
If you are storing half bottles or magnums, they are
nestled in the shelves in the same manner as the 750 ml
bottles.
When storing magnum bottles you must remove the
shelf just above the intended storage shelf to allow
for these larger bottles to be moved in and out of the
unit. Failure to do so will cause the bottles to break.

Cleaning
STAINLESS STEEL EXTERIOR
GLASS DOOR CLEANING
Classic and platinum stainless steel finishes: To clean
the exterior of the classic and platinum stainless steel
finishes, use a soft, nonabrasive stainless steel cleaner like
Signature polish and apply with a soft 100% lint-free cloth.
The glass door panel can be cleaned using any standard
glass cleaner available on the market today.
INTERIOR CLEANING
Signature polish is available from Signature Limited
Laboratory, P. O. Box 13436, Dayton, Ohio 45413-0436,
or 877-376-5474 (toll free).
To clean interior surfaces and removable parts, wash with
a mild solution of soap and lukewarm water with a little
baking soda. Do not use vinegar. Rinse and dry thor-
oughly. Avoid getting water on lights, control panel and the
solid cherry wood facing on the shelves.
Carbon stainless steel finish: The carbon stainless steel
finish uses the interest of brushed steel to bring out the
maximum metallic luster of its charcoal background.
Carbon stainless steel can be cleaned with mild soap and
water.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or cloths on any of the
interior or exterior surfaces, including the glass door
panel.
Different light types and source locations can result in
variations in shading on different components and areas
of large appliances. These variations are normal with the
carbon finish and add to the unique character of colored
stainless steel.
Before cleaning the unit, shut off power to the unit at
the control panel.
To bring out the natural luster of all three finishes, lightly
wipe the surface with a water-dampened microfiber cloth
followed by a dry polishing chamois. All work should
follow the grain direction of the finish. Better results are
obtained by keeping the cloth in continuous contact with
the stainless steel.
Under no circumstances should you use a metallic
or highly abrasive cleaner or cloth, as this will
remove the carbon finish or scratch the classic or
platinum finishes.

Keeping Wine at Its Best
Storing and Serving Wine
18
There is a right way to store and serve wine. And there is a
wrong way. The Sub-Zero wine storage equipment is
committed to the right way. Wine enthusiasts know that
wine, optimally, likes to be stored for long periods of time
in caves that are vibration free, dark, damp and kept at a
constant 55°F (13°C). However, how many of us have
these situations available?
You can devote the entire wine storage unit to long-term
storage and have the temperature set to 55˚F (13°C) in
both zones—the ideal temperature for long-term storage
or aging. If, however, you want to devote only a small
portion of the unit to that feature, you can adjust the
temperature in the smaller zone to long-term storage and
adjust the other temperature zone to accommodate the
wine you will be enjoying soon.
When you think about wine, think about preserving fruit
and the fact that you must refrigerate it at the proper
temperature before it spoils. After all, wine is the juice of
grapes in its simplest interpretation.
The temperature in this zone can be anything you choose.
Sure, there are ideal temperatures for serving wine, but it
is very subjective, with everyone’s palate reacting differ-
ently to different temperatures.
Wine needs to be selected and cared for properly. The
wine aficionado knows that proper storage will ensure the
wine is served at the best conditions.
The chart on the following page offers some universally
accepted storing and serving temperatures for the most
common wines consumed today.
You have taken the extra step to ensure that your wine is
kept in the best possible environment by purchasing your
Sub-Zero wine storage unit. Now how you use the unit is
up to you.
Enjoy the wine and your Sub-Zero wine storage unit. And
thank you for your trust in Sub-Zero.

A: It is normal to hear the operation of fans and motors.
Sounds will be accentuated based on the placement of
the unit and overall room design.
Q: How do I adjust the temperatures?
A: To adjust temperatures, refer to temperature control on
page 8. For model 427R, also refer to page 10.
Q: What are the suggested temperature settings?
A: Temperature settings are your individual preference.
While each temperature zone of your wine storage unit
has a range of 38°F (3°C) to 65°F (18°C), you can set
the temperatures you think best. A chart with
suggested storing and serving temperatures can be
found on page 19.
Q: Condensation is forming on the inside and outside of
my unit.
A: In climates with higher humidity, condensation will form
and is considered normal. Leaving the door open for a
long period of time may also contribute to condensa-
tion forming on the inside of your unit.
Q: My unit isn’t cooling properly.
A: Clean the condenser area as outlined on page 17.

This use & care guide gives you the information necessary
to preserve your wine at optimum quality in your Sub-Zero
wine storage unit.
BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE
Before calling a Sub-Zero authorized service center, refer
to the troubleshooting guide on pages 20–21. Check the
household fuse or circuit breaker to see if it has been
blown or tripped and that the electrical connection to the
appliance has not been disconnected. A power outage
may also have caused a disruption in service.
If you do need service, be sure to have the model and
serial number of your unit when you call. The numbers are
listed on the product rating plate. For models 424 and
424FS, the rating plate is located on the underside of the
top wall. For models 427, 427R and WS-30, it is attached
to the underside of the control panel. Refer to pages 5–7
for location of the rating plate for your specific model.
