Some Special Features of Thermoelectric Wine Cellars
Thermoelectric units like this one have some very interesting features, some not found in other
wine cellar models.
1. These units have virtually no moving parts. This allows for a high degree of reliability.
2. These units have no compressor and hence no vibration during normal operation. This is an
excellent point for drinkers of red wine as there is no way the unit can shake the sediment.
3. These units are capable of being built-in. However heat is generated at the back of the unit
so some space in the back must be provided to dissipate this heat.
4. This unit is designed to operate at a maximum of 18F° below the ambient temperature. This
means that if you put the unit in a home with a temperature of 72°F, the lowest temperature
the unit can reach is 54°F.
Care and Cleaning of Your Wine Cellar
Cleaning the Outside
Clean the outside of your unit with mild soapy water. Dry with a soft, non-abrasive cloth. Never
use harsh cleansers or scouring pads to clean any part of your cellar.
Cleaning the Inside
Be sure to unplug your wine cellar. Remove all bottles. Rinse the inside surface with plain water
and dry the chrome racks.
