*This appliance is designed for indoor use. It may

be used outdoors provided it is installed under cover

in a dry location and operated within the required

room temperature. This system is equipped with a

low power consumption, TEC cooling system, that

cools the inside of the bottle bay to a temperature

approximately 25°F less than the temperature out-

side the unit. Therefore, the ability to cool wine is

limited by higher room temperatures.

Introduction

• There are three factors that affect wine preser-

vation; oxidation, temperature and light. Your

wine dispensing system limits the effects of

these factors to provide a winery fresh taste for

up to 60 days after opening the bottle.
Your wine dispensing system uses argon gas,

which is heavier than air. The system injects

argon into the wine bottle and displaces any

residual air so that the wine is exposed only to

the argon, not oxygen. The unit's cooling system

and tinted door minimize the effects of tempera-

ture and light on the wine as well.
These features allow you to uncork and serve

multiple vintages from your personal wine collec-

tion without having to throw away left over wine

at the end of the evening. With the purchase of

additional dispensing heads, you can remove

bottles of wine (with the dispensing head still

attached) that you are not currently using and

store them for later use in the refrigerator. The

wine will continue to be preserved for up to two

weeks because the argon gas stays in the bottle

as long as the dispensing head is attached.

• All of the parts of the wine dispensing system

that touch the wine can be easily cleaned to

maintain sanitary dispensing.

• The optional two zone temperature kit, is for

storing red wines at a higher temperature than

white wines. When the kit is installed, the tem-

perature for the left two bottles stays approxi-

mately 10°F (2°C) higher than the temperature

for the two right bottles. See page 23.

Important Things to Know

• Your wine dispensing system is NOT designed

for the dispensing of sparkling wine such as

Champagne. Dispensing sparkling wines from

your wine dispensing system will cause a large

amount of splatter when the carbon-dioxide in

the wine hits the air outside the spout.

• Your wine dispensing system is not designed to

dispense beverages other than wine. Other bev-

erages may be dispensed, but the (wine) pour

detection system must be turned off. If bever-

ages other than wine are dispensed from the

unit, the argon gas will continue to be depleted

at the normal rate and will still need to be

replaced for the unit to function, whether wine is

being dispensed or not.

• Wine cannot be dispensed from two bottles at

the same time.
