Grounding Method
This product is factory equipped with a power supply cord
that has a three-pronged, grounded plug. It must be
plugged into a mating grounding type receptacle in accor-
dance with the National Electrical Code and applicable lo-
cal codes and ordinances (see Figure 1). If the circuit does
not have a grounding type receptacle, it is the responsibility
and obligation of the customer to exchange the existing
receptacle in accordance with the National Electrical Code
and applicable local codes and ordinances. The third
ground prong should not, under any circumstances, be cut
or removed (see Figure 2). All U.L. listed refrigerated prod-
ucts are equipped with this type of plug.

SET MODE. As with any refrigeration product, there is a
slight temperature variance at different locations within the
cabinet.
Adjustable Temperature Control
The temperature control is fully adjustable from the low
forties to the mid sixties. The range allows flexibility of
temperature preferences and provides the ideal wine aging
and storing temperatures.
Interior Light and Switch
The interior light makes it easy to view your wine labels
and enhances the display of your collection. To engage the
display light feature, press the round light switch. It is lo-
cated on the left side of the user panel. The light will come

Keypad Lockout Feature (Loc)
Warning Alarms
This feature is useful for prohibiting changes in the
temperature set point or accidentally turning the unit
off. Press and hold the “SET” key to display the cur-
rent “Loc” setting. If “No” is displayed, Lockout is
OFF and all keys are enabled. If “Yes” is displayed,
Lockout is ON and the “ON/OFF”, “WARMER”, and
“COLDER” keys are disabled. However, the key tones
remain enabled. While holding the “SET” key, press
the “WARMER” or “COLDER” key to select the desired

Your wine cellar has been fitted with a MicroSentry™
refrigeration monitor. This monitor will let you know if your
cellar is not functioning properly for optimum wine storage.
Door Ajar Alarm
If the door has been left open for over five minutes, the
alarm will sound in one second intervals. The display
panel will flash “Do” and the LED light will be a steady
amber color. This will stop as soon as the door is closed.
High and Low Temperature
NOTE: The Information/Lockout Key “SET” remains
enabled regardless of the “Loc” setting.
If your unit reaches an unacceptable temperature out-
side of your set point, the alarm will sound in one second
intervals. The display panel will flash either “Hi” or “Lo”
depending upon the condition and the LED light will be a
steady amber color. “Hi” indicates that the temperature is
10 degrees F above the set point and “Lo” indicates that
the temperature is 10 degrees F below the set point. These
alarms will warn you that your wines have seen tempera-
tures that may not be conducive for long term storage. The
alarm will remain active until the condition is corrected.
NOTE: During initial appliance start-up, the high tem-
perature alarm may sound until the interior temperature
reaches set point.
Alarm Codes
The control monitors and stores select unit parameters
and will display error codes with sound each time a fault
is detected. See reference below for a description of each
error code.

APPLIANCE FEATURES
Insert Wine Bottles
Front Bottles (Necks Facing Rear)
Rear Bottles (Necks Facing Front)
The four pull-out shelves each hold eight bottles. See Fig-
ure 4 for typical wine bottle spacing. Tall bottles should not
be loaded on the bottom rack because they may prevent
the door from closing. The display shelf at the top of the
cabinet holds seven bottles. Also, there is a fixed, wooden,
bottle cradle in the bottom, step section of the cabinet. Six
bottles of wine may be stored there.
Loading Tips and Suggestions
Bottom rack(s) may be removed for storing “jug” wines.
You may store magnums and other large bottles on any
of the racks (except for the top rack) by removing the rack
directly above them. Position white wines on the middle or
lower racks and red wines on the upper racks (see Figure
5).
Figure 4
The bottles on the top rack directly under the light will be
exposed to a slightly higher temperature when the light is
on. Position your wines accordingly and REMEMBER TO
TURN OFF THE LIGHT WHEN IT IS NO LONGER NEEDED.
Keep wines that you plan to use for everyday drinking and
entertaining on the front half of the racks where labels are
completely visible. Place wines for aging or longer term
storing in the rear.
Pull-out Racks
The four pull-out wine racks may be pulled out ap-
proximately seven and a half inches to facilitate adding or
removing bottles. DO NOT lean on or press down heavily
on the wine shelves. Doing so may damage the shelves
and the wine bottles stored on them. Pull the wine racks
out gently and carefully to minimize unsettling your wine
collection. AVOID pulling out more than one rack at any
time to maintain stability.
Figure 5
Single Bottle Racks
Since bottles are not stacked on top of each other, you can
easily view and access your inventory without disturbing
other bottles (see Figure 6).

CARE AND CLEANING OF YOUR WINE CELLAR
To replace the light bulb, unscrew the old light bulb located
behind the display housing at the top of the unit. Set the
old light bulb aside. Screw the new light bulb into place.
Check to see if the light bulb operates properly to complete
the installation.
Condenser
The condenser tubing inside the cabinet does not require
frequent cleaning; however, satisfactory cooling depends
on adequate ventilation over the coils. Be sure that noth-
ing obstructs the required air flow openings in front of the
cabinet. At least once or twice a year, brush or vacuum lint
and dirt from the condenser for efficient performance by
unscrewing the grille on the bottom front of the cabinet.
The light bulb is not covered by your warranty. A replace-
ment bulb can be obtained from your service provider or
from Marvel Industries.
Cabinet
In the Event of a Power Failure
The painted cabinet can be washed with mild soap and
water and thoroughly rinsed with clear water. NEVER use
abrasive scouring cleaners.
Most power failures are corrected within two hours and will
not affect the unit’s temperature providing you minimize
the number of door openings while the power is off. A
gradual rise in temperature should not have any adverse
effects on your wine if power is out for a longer period. If
it is extremely hot, you may want to move your wines to the
coolest location you can find until power is restored.
Interior
Wash interior compartment with mild soap and water. DO
NOT use an abrasive cleaner, solvent, polish cleaner or
undiluted detergent.
Pull-out Racks
Tha racks may be cleaned with mild soap and water and a
soft cloth. DO NOT use any abrasive cleaners.
Glass Door
Use a glass cleaner or mild soap and water and soft cloth
to clean the glass door model. DO NOT use any abrasive
cleaners.
Door Gasket
The vinyl gasket may be cleaned with mild soap and water,
a baking soda solution or a mild scouring powder.
Light Bulb Replacement
WARNING! DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD BEFORE
ATTEMPTING LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT. Failure to do so
may result in an electrical shock that could severely injure
you.
This product uses one, 15 watt incandescent light bulb to
illuminate the interior of the wine cellar. The light bulb is a
very reliable electrical component, but should it not func-
tion properly, please call the dealer where you purchased
your wine cellar from for a replacement light bulb. Use
only an original equipment light bulb from your dealer or
manufacturer.
