Features

1. TriTemp™ Storage System

Your wine cellar has three independent temperature zones

separated by gaskets and tempered glass shelves to seal

the zones. This allows you to set the temperatures in your

wine cellar to match your wine storage needs. Each zone

has its own fan, allowing for true air circulation within the

zone. One control, conveniently located at the top of the

unit, allows you to precisely control the temperature in

each zone separately.

Bottom Zone – The bottom zone is designed for longer

term wine storage with no lighting and raised wood facings

to add further UV protection. This is the perfect place to

store your most delicate and precious wine.

150 Bottle Capacity – Your wine cellar will accommodate

150 bottles of wine on the 15 shelves. Each shelf has a 10

bottle capacity.

2. Electronic Control Center

The electronic control center allows you to set and monitor

the operations of the wine cellar easily and accurately.

3. Versatile Shelving System

Your wine cellar's shelving system is designed for optimal

wine storage. This system includes two convertible display

shelves that lay flat for normal storage or convert to display

shelves to beautifully display your wine. All shelves are

coated to absorb vibration and prevent unnecessary

movement. Shelves pull forward on roller bearing glides

and remain level at full extension allowing for easy loading

and unloading and are fully removable for easy cleaning.

Shelves are designed to accommodate different bottles

sizes and shapes including standard bottle, half-size bottles

and magnums. Shelves may need to be removed to store

some bottles.

4. Energy Efficient/UV Resistant Glass

Glass door units are energy efficient and UV resistant. The

doors are insulated and coated to protect against UV rays.

5. Low Intensity Lighting

The low intensity lighting system allows wines to be

displayed without compromising wine integrity. Lights can

be set so that they stay on for display purposes or to only

come on when the door is opened.

6. Black Interior

The wine cellar's black interior not only provides a stylish

backdrop for your prized wines but absorbs harmful light

and protects your wines.

7. High Temperature Alarm (behind grille)

Your wine cellar has a high temperature alarm feature that

will sound if temperatures within your wine cellar fluctuate

outside of your set point by 5 degrees for an extended

period of time.

8. Open Door Alarm (behind grille)

The door alarm feature alerts you if you have left the wine

cellar's door open for more than 3 minutes.

9. Home Security System Connection (behind

grille)

For added peace of mind, your wine cellar can be

connected to your home security system to alert you while

away from home if the temperatures within your wine cellar

fluctuate outside of your set point by 5 degrees for an

extended period of time.

10. Door Stop Settings

For utmost flexibility, the wine cellar door stop can easily

be set to 90, 110, or 120 degrees, allowing it to be used

in many different applications.
