OPERATION
figure 3
Start Your Appliance
Interior Light and Switch
Your appliance will start upon initial plug-in. The LED
will flash amber upon initial plug-in due to your unit
being powered-on at the factory to verify performance
and then powered-off. The Sentry system senses a
power outage has occurred and relays this
information to you when you initially power-up your
appliance. This is normal and pressing the
“ON/OFF” button will reset this alarm function.
The interior light makes it easy to view your wine
labels and enhances the display of your collection.
To engage the display light, press the “Light” button
on the display panel. The light will come on and stay
on with the door closed. To disable the display light,
press the “Light” button again. The light will always
come on when the door is opened.
Warning Alarms
If your appliance’s control has been shut-off i.e., unit
plugged in, interior lights operate, display blank,
unit must be turned on. To turn on your appliance,
push and hold for 5 seconds, the “ON/OFF” button
located on the display panel. (See figure 3) Once
loaded with wine bottles, allow at least 48 hours for
the unit to stabilize before making any adjustments
to the initial setting.
Your wine cellar has been fitted with a Sentry system.
This sentry will let you know if your cellar is not
functioning properly for optimum wine storage.
Door Ajar Alarm
If the door has been left open for over 5 minutes the
alarm will sound and the LED will flash green. This
will stop as soon as the door is closed.
Set Your Temperature Mode
This product can display either Fahrenheit or Celsius.
To do this press the ”°F/C“ button on display panel.
High and Low Temperature
If your unit reaches temperatures outside normal
operating temperatures for your set point for about
one (1) hour duration, an alarm will sound and the
LED will flash red. This will warn you that your wines
have seen temperatures that may not be conducive
for long term storage.
Set the Controls
The available temperature range of the unit is from
40° to 65°F. The temperature set-point is initially set
in the factory at 55°F. The temperature set-point can
be lowered or raised by first pushing the “Set” button
on the display pad. A “SET” icon will be displayed.
This icon will turn off 10 second after completing
your adjustments. Pushing either the “Warmer” or
“Colder” buttons located on the inside of the unit on
the display pad will raise or lower the set
temperature by one degree F or C (depending on
your setting). As with any refrigeration product, there
is a slight temperature variance at different locations
within the cabinet.
Power Failure
If your unit experiences a power failure the LED will
flash amber until the alarm is reset.
Reset Alarms
Press the “ON/OFF” button for approximately one
second. This will reset all audible and display alarms.
Sabbath Mode
Your wine cellar is equipped with a Sabbath mode.
By activating this mode you will be disabling all
displays, audible alarms and lights. The system will
be overridden with a random control. To activate the
Sabbath mode press and hold the “Set” button while
pressing the ”°F/C“ button 7 times within 7 seconds.
To disable the Sabbath mode repeat the process.
The Sabbath mode will deactivate after 96 hours.
Adjustable Temperature Control
The temperature control is fully adjustable from 40°
to 65°F. The range allows flexibility of temperature
preferences and provides the ideal wine aging,
storing and serving temperatures.

APPLIANCE FEATURES
Insert Wine Bottles
The six roll-out shelves each hold ten bottles. See
figure 4 for typical wine bottle spacing. Tall bottles
should not be loaded on the bottom rack because
they may prevent the door from closing.
Front Bottles (Necks Facing Rear)
Rear Bottles (Necks Facing Front)
Loading Tips and Suggestions
Bottom rack(s) may be removed for storing “jug”
wines. You may store magnums and other large
bottles on any of the racks (except for the top rack)
by removing the rack directly above them. Position
white wines on the middle or lower racks and red
wines on the upper racks. (See figure 5)
The bottles on the top rack directly under the light
will be exposed to a slightly higher temperature
when the light is on. Position your wines
accordingly and REMEMBER TO TURN OFF THE
LIGHT WHEN IT IS NO LONGER NEEDED.
figure 4
Keep wines that you plan to use for everyday
drinking and entertaining on the front half of the
racks where labels are completely visible. Place
wines for aging or longer term storing in rear.
Roll-out Racks
The six-roll out wine racks may be pulled out
approximately 14 inches to facilitate adding or
removing bottles. Do not lean on or press down
heavily on the wine shelves. Doing so may damage
the shelves and the wine bottles stored on them.
Pull the wine racks out gently and carefully to
minimize unsettling your wine collection. Avoid
pulling out more than one rack at any time to
maintain stability.
figure 5
Single Bottle Racks
Because bottles are not stacked on top of each
other, you can easily view and access your
inventory without disturbing other bottles. (See
figure 6)

CARE AND CLEANING OF YOUR WINE CELLAR
Using a small flat-blade screwdriver, gently lever
Condenser
the front section of the light tube down to allow it
to be pulled clear of the light housing.
The condenser tubing inside the cabinet does not
require frequent cleaning; however, satisfactory
cooling depends on adequate ventilation over the
coils. Be sure that nothing obstructs the required air
flow openings in front of the cabinet. At least once
or twice a year brush or vacuum lint and dirt from the
condenser for efficient performance by unscrewing
the grille on the bottom front of the cabinet.
Disconnect the two insulated electrical connectors
from the cabinet’s electrical cable and discard the
old light tube. Reconnect the electrical connector of
the new light tube to the cabinet’s electrical cable
connectors. Make sure it is secure and fully
installed.
Cabinet
Carefully realign the light tube’s electrical terminal
back into the rear of the light enclosure channel
making sure not to crimp them. Gently insert the
light tube along the length of the light enclosure
channel. Press the light tube gently into the light
enclosure channel. Only a small part of the light
tube should project below the ceiling of the
wine cellar. DO NOT USE A HAMMER TO FIT
THE LIGHT TUBE.
The painted cabinet can be washed with mild soap
and water and thoroughly rinsed with clear water.
Never use abrasive scouring cleaners.
Interior
Wash interior compartment with mild soap and
water. Do not use an abrasive cleaner, solvent, polish
cleaner or undiluted detergent.
Glass Door
Place the light tube terminal cover plate back in the
original position on the light enclosure’s flange. Re-
use the original two screws to secure it in place.
Plug the wine cellar into the electrical socket.
Check to see if the light tubes operate properly.
Your light tube’s replacement is complete.
Use a glass cleaner or mild soap and water and
soft cloth to clean the glass door model. Do not use
any abrasive cleaners.
Door Gasket
The vinyl gasket may be cleaned with mild soap
and water, a baking soda solution or a mild scour-
ing powder.
The light tubes are not covered by your warranty.
Replacement tubes can be obtained from your
service provider or from Marvel Industries.
Light Tube Replacement
WARNING! DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD
BEFORE ATTEMPTING LIGHT TUBE REPLACE-
MENT. Failure to do so may result in an electrical
shock that could severely injure you.
In the Event of a Power Failure
Most power failures are corrected within two hours
and will not affect the unit’s temperature providing
you minimize the number of door openings while
the power is off. A gradual rise in temperature
should not have any adverse effect on your wine if
power is out for a longer period. If it is extremely
hot, you may want to move your wines to the
coolest location you can find until power is
restored.
This product uses two, 6 watt light tubes to illumi-
nate the interior of the wine cellar. The light tube is
a very reliable electrical component, but should it
not function properly, please call the dealer you
purchased your wine cellar from for a replacement
light tube. Use only an original equipment light
tube from your dealer or manufacturer.
To replace a light tube, use a hex-head driver,
remove the two hex-head screws that hold a cover
plate over the back section of the light tube. Set the
screws and cover plate aside for re-assembly later.
