INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on bringing home a truly
excellent wine cellar! Your Cuisinart™ Private
Reserve® Wine Cellar uses a quiet-running
thermoelectric cooling system to keep your
reds and whites in good health. You can
manually adjust the temperature anywhere
between 39-68ºF and the attractive, stainless-
finished housing with soft internal lighting
makes sure your collection looks good in any
room of the house. Cuisinart makes it easy to
enjoy the finer things.

UNPACKING YOUR
WINE CELLAR
Remove all packaging material. This includes
all adhesive tape holding the wine cellar
accessories inside and outside.
You may want to keep the box and packing
materials for use at a later date.
Before using your Cuisinart™ Private Reserve®
Wine Cellar for the first time, remove all
protective paper and wrapping. Wipe housing
and internal chamber with a damp cloth to
remove any dust from the warehouse or
shipping.

Make sure there is a suitable power outlet (120
volts, 15 amps) with proper grounding to
power the wine cellar.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Important: When using the wine cellar for
the first time, allow at least 24 hours for the
internal temperature to adjust properly.
Make sure there are at least 3 to 5 bottles in
the unit.
ALWAYS REMOVE ALL BOTTLES BEFORE
MOVING THE WINE CELLAR
Avoid the use of three-prong plug adapters or
cutting off the third grounding prong in order
to accommodate a two plug outlet. This is a
dangerous practice since it provides no
effective grounding for the wine cellar and may
result in a shock hazard.
Using your Wine Cellar
Leveling your Wine Cellar
Place your wine cellar on a flat surface that is
strong enough to support it when fully loaded.
Your wine cellar has 4 leveling legs. After
properly placing your wine cellar in its final
position, you can level your wine cellar.
Gently place/slide the racks in the wine cellar.
Plug the power cord into a standard electrical
outlet and the unit will turn on automatically to
the default setting.
(Please note that the leg that stands on the
hinge is the shorter leg.)
Place bottles inside the cellar.
Leveling legs can be adjusted by turning them
clockwise to raise the wine cellar or by turning
them counterclockwise to lower the cellar.
Determine the best setting to use: refer to the
temperature guide for appropriate serving
temperatures (see page 7).
Installation Limitations
The unit’s cooling system operates efficiently with
an ambient temperature of less than 70°F (21°C).
Do not place heavy objects on top of the unit.
Do not locate the unit in a moist place or display in
direct sunlight.
Proper Air Circulation
Do not place the unit next to a major appliance
that emits large amounts of heat, such as a
dishwasher, microwave, toaster oven, oven or
barbecue, etc.
To assure that your wine cellar works at the
maximum efficiency it was designed for, you
should install it in a location where there is
proper air circulation and electrical
connections.
Do not install your wine cellar in any location
not properly insulated or heated (garage, etc).
Allow 2 inches of space on both sides and rear of
the wine cellar to allow proper ventilation.
Select a suitable location for the wine cellar on
a hard, even surface away from direct sunlight
or heat source, e.g., radiators, baseboard
heaters, cooking appliances, etc. Any surface
unevenness should be corrected with the
leveling legs located on the front and rear
bottom corners of the wine cellar. Avoid
placing unit where there may be electrical
interference.
To ensure proper internal air circulation do not
overfill your wine cellar.
This wine cellar is designed to be freestanding
only, and should not be recessed or built in (fully
recessed).
NOTE: Allow enough space in the front of
the unit to open the door 120°.
NOTE: To minimize the risk of rusting,
leakage and insulation damage, avoid
placing the unit in a place where heavy
moisture is present. Under no
circumstances spill or directly apply water
onto or into the unit.
Electrical Requirements
Do not plug unit into the same outlet as a
refrigerator or microwave.

Installing the Water Tray
ambient temperature. You may set the cabinet
temperature within range but the unit may not
reach that temperature.
For this model, when the ambient temperature
is 77˚F, the lowest temperature that can be
reached is 50-52˚F. When ambient temperature
is 66˚, the cabinet temperature can reach
approximately 39-41˚F.
The purpose of the water tray is to receive the
condensation drained from the interior. The
collected water will evaporate so there is no
need to remove the water manually.
To install the water tray, simply slide it in from
the rear of the cellar along the track, located
beneath the cabinet body.
INTERIOR LIGHT CONTROL
WINE CELLAR FEATURES
AND USE
Your wine cellar also has a light for your
viewing pleasure. The interior display light
option allows you to showcase your personal
collection of wines. To activate this feature,
press the light button. This button is located on
the control panel (see below). The interior light
will remain on permanently until light button is
pressed again. Under normal operation it is
best for the light to remain off.
Temperature Adjustments/Control
Important note: In order to operate
efficiently, thermoelectric products should
be in an environment with an ambient
temperature of less than 70°F (21°C).
When initially turned on, the LED will show the
default setting at 55˚F. Your wine cellar has an
electronic temperature control on the front of
the unit. You can set the temperature of your
wine cellar at any setting from 39˚ to 68˚F. The
LED will then display the set temperature.
NOTE: White wine temperature is kept at a
lower temperature than red wine.
By pressing the (+) temperature button on the
display you can increase the temperature;
pressing the (-) temperature button will lower
the temperature.
Please note that the actual cabinet temperature
in a thermal electric unit is dependent on the

CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
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® Wine Cellar and be ready for
any occasion.
Warning: To avoid electric shock always unplug
your wine cellar before cleaning. Ignoring this
warning may result in death or injury.
Caution: Before using cleaning products,
always read and follow manufacturer’s
instructions and warnings to avoid personal
injury or product damage.
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.
General Cleaning
Prepare a cleaning solution of 3-4 tablespoons of
baking soda mixed with warm water. Use sponge
or soft cloth, dampened with the cleaning solution,
to wipe down your wine cellar. Rinse with clean
warm water and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use
harsh chemicals, abrasives, ammonia, chlorine
bleach, concentrated detergents, solvents or metal
scouring pads. SOME of these chemicals may
dissolve, damage and/or discolor your wine cellar.
Power Interruptions
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.
Occasionally there may be power interruptions due
to thunderstorms or other causes. Remove the
power cord from the AC outlet when a power
outage occurs. When the power has been
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.
restored, replug the power cord into the AC outlet.
Vacation and Moving Care
For long vacations or absences, unplug the unit,
empty contents from wine cellar, and clean the
wine cellar and door gaskets according to General
Cleaning section. Prop doors open, so air can
circulate inside. When moving always keep the
wine cellar upright. Do not move the unit lying on
its side.
As for cooking with wine – never cook with
a wine that you would not drink!
