INTRODUCTION  
3
Different wines must be served at different  
temperatures to optimize flavor, and your Private  
ReserveWine Cellar has a patented program  
with convenient presets at the temperatures  
recommended by experts for each type of wine.  
You’ll love the way this traditionally styled  
countertop wine cellar looks in your kitchen.  
With its smooth brushed stainless steel door,  
tinted glass window, and soft interior lighting  
that you can leave on or turn off, it’s an elegant  
way to ensure that your favorite wines and  
champagnes are beautifully displayed and  
ready to serve.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
TEMPERATURE CONTROL  
Important note: In order to operate efficiently,  
thermoelectric products should be in an envi-  
ronment with an ambient temperature of less  
than 70°F (21°C).  
1. Place your wine cellar on a flat surface that  
is strong enough to support it when fully  
loaded.  
2. Allow 5" (15cm) of space on the right side of  
the wine cooler to allow proper ventilation.  
Setting the temperature control (presets):  
For your convenience, the CuisinartPrivate  
ReserveWine Cellar is programmed with eight  
presets, to accommodate any variety of wine.  
To change the preset temperature in the wine  
cooler, simply press the Preset button until the  
desired preset number (1 to 8) appears.The  
following sections about storing and serving  
wines (see pages 4 to 5) will advise the optimal  
settings for your wine. You will also find a refer-  
ence chart printed directly on the inside of the  
wine cellar’s door.  
3. This wine cellar is designed to be  
freestanding only, and should not be  
recessed or built-in (fully recessed).  
4. Do not place heavy objects on top of  
the unit.  
5. Do not locate the unit in a moist place or  
display in direct sunlight.  
6. Do not place the unit next to a major appli-  
ance that emits large amounts of heat, such  
as a dishwasher, microwave, toaster oven,  
oven or barbecue, etc.  
Setting the temperature control (manually):  
If desired, you can manually adjust the tempera-  
ture. Simply press the (-) button on the control  
panel to lower the temperature and the (+) button  
to increase the temperature inside the wine  
cooler. The temperature range is limited to a  
range from 45°F (7°C) to 68°F (20°C). However,  
we strongly recommend using the programmed  
presets.  
7. Do not plug unit into the same outlet as a  
refrigerator or microwave.  
8. The unit’s cooling system operates efficiently  
with an ambient temperature of less than  
70°F (21°C).  
9. Gently place/slide the racks in the wine  
cooler. Note that two of the racks are  
designed to accommodate the  
circulating fan.  
Setting the thermostat to Celsius  
or Fahrenheit:  
10. Determine the best setting to use: refer to  
the temperature guides for appropriate  
serving or storing presets (see pages 4 to 5).  
An easy reference guide for serving  
temperatures is also found on the inside  
door.  
For manually set temperatures, you can change  
the temperature display from °C to °F and vice-  
versa. Simply press the °C/°F control to switch  
back and forth. LED indicators on the control  
panel show the mode selected.  
11. Place bottles inside the cooler.  
12. Plug the power cord into a standard  
electrical outlet.  
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 COOLER

STORING WINES  
Storing wines at the proper temperature is important. Stored too cold, the aroma and flavor of the wine  
will be diminished. Stored too warm, the flavor of the wine can become too harsh, flat in flavor, or taste  
too strongly alcoholic.  
Because it is carefully limited to a temperature range that will preserve and enhance wines, any setting  
of the Cuisinart™ Private Reserve™ Wine Cellar is appropriate for storing most wines.  
The only exceptions are:  
– Champagne is best stored at presets 6,7 or 8  
– Red wine is best stored at presets 1,2,3,4 or 5

wines can be purchased at “comfortable for the  
wallet” prices.  
INTERIOR LIGHT CONTROL  
The interior display light option allows you to  
showcase your personal collection of wines.  
To activate this feature, move the display  
light switch to the ON position. This switch is  
located INSIDE the door, above the window  
(see Parts, page 2). The interior light will remain  
ON permanently while in this position.  
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 ReserveWine 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 with fish or light  
meats only 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.  
When in the OFF position, the interior light will  
illuminate only when the door is opened.  
CLEANING AND CARE  
Always unplug the wine cooler before cleaning.  
Do not use benzene, scrubbing brushes or  
chemical cleaners, as these will damage the unit.  
Use only a mild, nonabrasive cleanser to clean  
the exterior of the cabinet. Clean the stainless  
steel door and handle by wiping with a damp  
cloth. Wash the inside surface with a warm water  
and baking soda solution. The solution should  
be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a  
quart of water. Wash the racks with a mild  
detergent solution.  
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.  
Always dry all the parts with a clean dry cloth  
before plugging the wine cooler back into the  
receptacle.  
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.  
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.  
As for cooking with wine – never cook with a wine  
that you would not drink!  
The price of a wine is not necessarily indicative  
of its quality or whether you will like it. Very good

The door will not close properly.  
The wine cooler is not on a level surface.  
The racks are out of position.  
The bottle is too long.  
Fan is always running.  
This is simply a function of the cooling system. The lower  
the setting, the more the fan will run. If the room is  
warmer than 70°F (21°C), it will run more.  
The unit has been designed to run continuously when  
operating at the lower temperatures.  
The unit uses about as much energy as a 100-watt  
lightbulb.  
Unit has no power.  
Check the wall outlet for power. Make sure the outlet is  
not controlled by a wall switch.  
The inside temperature  
does not seem correct.  
Make sure the cooling vents on the right side of the  
cooler are not obstructed. Have at least 15cm (5") of  
space on right side of unit.  
The room may be too hot.  
Example: if the ambient temperature is 80°F (27°C)or  
higher, the unit can have difficulty chilling adequately  
on the white wine setting.  
When using the unit for the first time, it can take the unit  
up to 24 hours to reach the desired temperature.  
The unit does not operate.  
It may not be plugged into the wall socket.  
Make sure the wall socket is functional by testing  
another electrical appliance in the power socket.

adjust properly.  
What is the temperature of the room?  
If the room temperature is above 75°F (24°C), the unit will  
not get below 51°F (11°C). Humidity does not affect the  
cooling ability of the unit.  
To achieve accurate temperature control, the unit should  
not be used or operated in any of the following locations:  
in a sunny place  
in a room with poor air circulation such as a garage  
near another heat-producing appliance (dishwasher,  
oven, refrigerator).  
with an outlet shared with a refrigerator, as the  
refrigerator will drain power from the wine cellar.  
in a built-in wall recess, niche or cabinet.  
in a cabinet or closet.  
And remember to have at least 5" (15cm) of space on  
the right side of the unit.  
General Statements

LIMITED THREE-YEAR  
WARRANTY  
These warranties exclude all incidental or consequen-  
tial damages. Some states do not allow the exclusion  
of or limitation of incidental or consequential damages,  
so the foregoing limitation or exclusion may not apply  
to you.  
This warranty supersedes all previous warranties on  
the CuisinartPrivate ReserveWine Cellar.  
This warranty is available to consumers only. You are a  
consumer if you own a CuisinartPrivate Reserve™

California residents have the option of returning a  
nonconforming product (A) to the store where it was  
purchased or (B) to another retail store which sells  
Cuisinart products of the same type. The retail store  
shall then, according to its preference, either repair  
the product, refer the consumer to an independent  
repair facility, replace the product, or refund the  
purchase price less the amount directly attributable to  
the consumer’s prior usage of the product. If either  
of the above two options does not result in the  
appropriate relief to the consumer, the consumer may  
then take the product to an independent repair facility  
if service or repair can be economically accomplished.  
Cuisinart and not the consumer will be responsible  
for the reasonable cost of such service, repair,  
replacement, or refund for nonconforming products  
under warranty.  
We suggest that you complete and return the enclosed
