How to Attach Wine Bottles to Your Machine
1. Place the stopper assembly into the wine bottle. (Attach FULL wine
bottles ONLY.)
2. While holding the stopper so that the latex seal is just at the lip of the
bottle opening, open the pinch clamp for 2 seconds. This will displace
the air from the bottleneck.
3. Close off the pinch clamp, and insert the stopper all the way into the
bottle.
4. Hold the stopper assembly with one hand and tighten the knurled
thumbwheel clockwise with the other hand until gently snug. Turn the
thumbwheel 1⁄4 to 1⁄2 of a turn further. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN
THE THUMBWHEEL. If the thumbwheel “pops" while turning, you
have over-tightened it. The best seal is obtained with a dry bottleneck
and latex seal. OVER-TIGHTENING will damage the stopper.
5. Adjust the sliding stainless steel tube for proper bottle depth. The tube
may be placed all the way to the bottom for white wines, and slightly
raised off the bottom for red wines with sediment.
6. Open all pinch clamps and pull the faucet handle to produce a drop of
wine from each faucet. This removes the air trapped between the wine in
the tube and the faucet tip.
7. Dispense wine by pulling the faucet handle completely forward to achieve a clean pour.
Note: WineKeeper has preset your unit to hold white wine at 44 o -45 o F and red wine at 62 o -64 o F. After initial set up is complete,
let your unit run for 24 hours before attempting any temperature adjustment. (See “Temperature Adjustment" and “FAQs" #3, #4, #5
and #6, before adjusting temperature).
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 2 temperature zones, only the white side can be controlled by the thermostat. The red side temperature is controlled by
adjustable vent holes in the plexi-glass divider. Six to ten bottle magnum units are also equipped with a heating element in the red
wine zone to help maintain a warmer temperature. On these units the heating element adjustment knob is located on the vent panel.
Rotate the knob to the right (clockwise) to increase the temperature, to the left (counter-clockwise) to decrease. Use this heat source
as little as possible and in conjunction with the divider vent hole covers.
These units are illuminated by series of light tubes installed on the inside of the unit. The light tubes are controlled by a switch
located on the front of the unit under the digital temperature display, see diagram on next page.
