Vintage Cellars Magnum 12-Bottle - Manual (Page 6)

6
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. The filter screen on rear must be cleaned every 2
months, more often if dusty or dirty. The filter screen must always be in place when unit is operating.
Operating Your Unit
Changing bottles
1. Pinch off the nitrogen clamp.
2. Loosen the thumbwheel.
3. Remove the empty bottle, replace with full bottle.
4. Follow steps 1-7 listed in “Setting Up Your Unit”.
Changing gas cylinder
1. Turn cylinder valve to the off position (clockwise) and disconnect the supply hose from the
regulator by depressing the small metal lever. Your system will remain pressurized.
2. Depress the tip of the quick-connect fitting on the regulator, relieving the pressure in the
regulator, so that you may loosen the hand nut. Replace the cylinder and attach the regulator,
hand tighten the regulator nut onto the new full cylinder and open the cylinder valve. A full
aluminum cylinder will read 1800 lbs., a steel cylinder will read 2200 lbs.
3. Depress the tip of the quick-connect fitting on the
regulator for two seconds to displace air from the regulator.
4. Reconnect the supply hose to the regulator.
Your system is now ready for use. There is no need to bleed the system, as the supply hose quick-connect
has a shut off valve which holds gas pressure to the wine bottles during the cylinder change out.
Cleaning Your Unit
When used correctly, your WineKeeper system prevents the oxidation process that causes wine to spoil.
Lack of proper maintenance will eliminate most of the benefits of your WineKeeper. Indications that your
system needs cleaning include wine with a cloudy look and /or an odd taste. We recommend that you
clean your system once a month or as needed.
