LOADING BOTTLES

Unless otherwise modified at the factory, each

cubicle within the racking system is designed to

accommodate a standard 750cc Burgundy or

Bordeaux size bottle. Bottles lay bottom to

neck on double depth racks. Longer bottles

(Riesling type) may lie neck to neck. Larger

size bottles may be stored in the auxiliary

storage area.

In addition, the cabinet may “settle” slightly

based on the weight of all the bottles. It is

best to spread the loading of bottles evenly

throughout the cabinet, starting on the

bottom first. This will prevent the unit from

shifting and potentially knocking the doors

out of alignment. In the QT Series, there’s an

auxiliary section on the bottom for odd-size

bottles. On the WhisperKool Series, there’s auxiliary racking on

top.

Loading Bottles/ "Cool-Down Period"

“COOL-DOWN PERIOD”

When the time comes for you to begin loading

wine into your unit, there are some

considerations, which need to be made. The

cabinet should be loaded in stages. Perhaps

two cases everyday until the unit is full. This

will allow the unit to achieve more rapid

temperature stabilization.

Set the switches as follows:

Thermostat: 55°F or desired

temperature

Condensate Evaporator: On

Temperature Equalizer: Automatic

During the cool down period, the system

will run constantly for several weeks

depending on the size of the collection.

Slow cooling maintains correct humidity

within the cabinet.
