N'FINITY 121-Bottle Wine Cellar, Dual Zone

The N'FINITY 121-bottle wine cellar has two temperature zones that are divided by the control panel in the middle of the cabinet interior.

Control Panel

The digital control panel is built-in in the zone partition. The panel includes the following features:

On/Off button: turns on/off the wine cellar,
Temp. Set Upper Zone: Adjusts and displays, via LED screen, the set and the current temperature (°F) of the upper zone.
Temp. Set Lower Zone: Adjusts and displays, via LED screen, the set and the current temperature (°F) of the lower zone.
Light - for turning on or off the interior illumination
Red, White, Sparkling,
Select (upper or lower) - allows you to select to control either the upper zone or the lower zone.

Setting the Temperature

Note: In order to maintain optimum operation the lower compartment should be set to minimum 4 degrees higher than the upper compartment.

Make sure the cabinet is properly connected to power according to the manual.

Press "On" to turn on the cellar.

Press the "Select" button to choose the Upper or Lower Zone

Set the desired temp. for the upper/lower zone by pressing the + (Up) and - (Down) buttons. The upper zone can be set between 41°F and 60°F (factory preset is 41°F), while the lower zone's temp. range is 45°F - 64°F (factory preset 45°F).

If you set the Upper or Lower zone between 52°F - 64°F, the LED light next to “RED” will light up, indicating that you are within the recommended range for serving Red Wines.
If you set the Upper or Lower zone between 44°F - 51°F, the LED light next to “WHITE” will light up, indicating that you are within the recommended range for serving White Wines.
If you set the Upper or Lower Zone between 41°F - 43°F, the LED light next to “SPARKLING” will light up, indicating that you are within the recommended range for serving Sparkling Wines.

In case of a power outage, all previous temperature settings will be automatically saved and each compartment will return to the previous temperature setting, a useful feature that many wine refrigerators lack.

Shelving

11 hardwood shelves gliding on ball bearing assembly hold the wine bottles (each shelf accommodates cc. 11 bottles, max. 55 lbs.).

Interior Light

5 LED lights illuminate the cabinet interior with blue light.

Placement

The wine cellar ventilates in the front so it can be placed as recessed, built-in existing cabinetry or used as freestanding.

For optimal operation place the N'FINITY 121-bottle wine cellar in a room where ambient temperature range is 45°F - 80°F (7°C - 27°C).
