Franklin Thermoelectric Ready-to-Drink Wine Cellar

This unit can be used to store red wine at temperatures in the mid-60°’s, or when set at the

mid-50°’s to store white or red wine, or as a ready-to-drink wine cellar that can be used to keep
wine on the kitchen countertop during parties and other functions that require more than one

bottle of wine.

1. Setup and Start

This wine cellar can be plugged into any standard 120V 60Hz socket that has been properly

installed and grounded.
IMPORTANT! For your personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded. It is equipped with

a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an

outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

When the unit is plugged in you will not hear any operating noises. There is a fan inside the

unit, but each time you open the door, the fan automatically goes off. Other than the internal

fan, there are no moving parts in the unit.

2. Adjusting the Temperature

On the back of the unit is a cylindrical thermostat knob that can be turned to raise or lower

the inside temperature. Just adjust this knob until the temperature is right for the wine you

are storing. Use a thermometer to check the temperature.

3. Recovery Time

One characteristic of thermoelectric units is the length of time the unit requires to recover

from having the door opened and shut. It is necessary to wait several hours for the

temperature to return to its former level once the door has been opened. This is normal for

this type of unit.

4. Use of Extension Cords

Avoid the use of an extension cord because of the potential safety hazards under certain

conditions. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, be sure to use a 3-wire extension cord

that has a 3-blade grounding plug. Use a 3-slot outlet that will accept the plug. The marked

rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the electric rating of the

appliance.

5. Temperature Range

All wines are best stored on a long-term basis (over 1 year) at 54-55°F. This cellar is built to

store wines at this temperature. Most people will use this cellar for white wines, which are at

their best when stored at 54-55°F. As for red wines, they are at the peak of flavor at

temperatures of 64-66°F. Setting the thermostat to Minimum will allow you to store red

wines successfully in this cellar. At this temperature you can remove the bottle, decant the

wine and immediately be able to drink it at its optimum temperature.
