KitchenAid 24" Panel Ready Wine Cellar with Glass Door and Wood-Front Racks Utilizzo E Cura

Using the Controls

The control panel for the wine cellar is located on the middle 
separator (mullion) of the wine cellar. The control of the wine 
cellar has no mechanical parts or buttons. When disconnected, 
the control panel displays nothing and may be difficult to locate. 

■

The first time that the wine cellar is plugged in, the control will 
be in Cool Off mode. Cool On and Cool Off will be the only 
options that display.

■

Press COOL ON for 3 seconds to turn on the wine cellar. All 
menus and recommended temperature settings will be 
displayed.

■

The left temperature and preset touch pads control the 
temperature of the upper compartment.

■

The right temperature and preset touch pads control the 
temperature of the lower compartment.

■

Press the F/C touch pad to toggle between displaying the 
temperature in degrees Fahrenheit and degrees Celsius. The 
corresponding indicator will illuminate. 

When the wine cellar is turned on for the first time, the 
temperature defaults to the recommended setting. There are two 
adjustable temperature controls, with one for each compartment.   

■

To adjust set point temperatures, press “+” (plus) or “-” 
(minus) until the desired temperature setting is reached. 

NOTE: The set point for the wine cellar is 50°F (10°C) for both the 
upper and lower compartments. The set point range for the 
upper compartment is 42°F to 54°F (5°C to 12°C) and 42°F to 
64°F (5°C to 17°C) for the lower compartment.

The control is set correctly when the wine is as cold as you like it.

NOTE: Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments for the 
product to acclimate. Recheck the temperatures before making 
further adjustments. 

For your convenience, your wine cellar also has controls that are 
preset to recommended storage temperature for specific wines.

Pressing any preset option will set the temperature to the 
recommended temperature for the specified wine:

■

Assorted: 54°F (12°C)

■

Champagne: 46° (7°C)

■

Red Wine: 64°F (17°C)

■

Sweet Wine: 42°F (5°C)

■

White Wine: 50°F (10°C)

The wine cellar has a sensor that will turn on the interior display 
light automatically when someone walks by. When motion is no 
longer detected, the interior display light will go off after 2 
minutes.   

■

Press the Auto Light option to activate this feature.

■

When the Auto Light is not activated, the interior display light 
will only turn on when the door is opened.

■

Leaving the light on for an extended period of time will slightly 
increase the temperature of the wine cellar.

■

The light is an LED, which does not need to be replaced. 
However, if the LED does not illuminate when the door is 
opened, call Service to check the problem and replace, if 
necessary. See “Assistance or Service” for contact 
information.
