Getting to Know Your WineKeeper
This unit uses pressurized nitrogen or argon gas to dispense and preserve wine from within a temperature-
controlled zone. Your unit may have up to 2 temperature zones, which can be controlled by the knobs on
the back, see diagram. Although some units may have 3 thermostat knobs, it is only possible to achieve
two temperature zones, one zone being controlled by two knobs. To access the thermostat adjustment
knobs you will have to flip up the hinged screens at the top-back of the unit.
These units are illuminated by series of LED light strips installed on the inside of the unit. All lights strips
are controlled by one toggle switch located on the back of the unit next to the far right thermostat knob
when looking at the rear of the unit.
Back of Unit
Depending on which model you have your unit may have up to three power cords exiting the back of the
machine. ALL POWER CORDS MUST BE ATTACHED FOR THE UNIT TO WORK PROPERLY.
Your unit uses a nitrogen or argon cylinder (not included) located remotely and connected to your unit by
an 8-foot long braided hose that has a metal quick disconnect fitting on the end. This hose exits the rear
of the unit at the bottom next to the power cords.
