Operation and Controls
NOTE: If the appliance is unplugged, encounter power interruption, or turned off, you must wait 3 -5
minutes before restarting the appliance. If attempted to restart before this time delay, the appliance may not start.
SETTING THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL
During normal operation, the temperature display on the control panel shows the temperature inside the appli-
ance.
The unit has two separate temperature zones. For model BWR-401DS, the temperature range of BOTH zones
can be set between 41ºF and 72ºF (5ºC and 22ºC). For model BWR-171DS, the temperature range of the UP-
PER zone is between 41ºF and 50ºF (5ºC and 10ºC) and the LOWER ZONE is between 50ºF and 72ºF (10ºC
and 22ºC)
When the unit is plugged in for the first time, the unit will power up automatically to the preset defaults. The
preset temperature for the UPPER/LEFT temperature zone is 43ºF (6ºC) and for LOWER/RIGHT temperature
zone is 54ºF (12ºC).
You can press the left side UP and DOWN keys to control the internal temperature of the UPPER/LEFT tem-
perature zone and press the right side UP and DOWN keys to control the internal temperature of the LOWER/
RIGHT temperature zone.
The temperature that you desire to set will increase 1ºC or 1ºF if you press the UP key once and will decrease
1ºC or 1ºF if you press the DOWN key once. The display flashes while you make the setting.
After the temperature has been set, the display will flash four times before it shows the current internal temper-
ature of the particular temperature zone.
To view the set temperature at any time, press the UP or DOWN key, the set temperature will temporarily flash
in the display for 5 seconds. Then the display shows the current internal temperature again.
TEMPERATURE MEMORY FUNCTION
In the event of a power interruption (power surge, breaker switch, etc.), the unit can remember the previous tem-
perature settings. When the power has restored, the temperature display will show the current cabinet tempera-
ture.
DOOR ALARM
If the door has been left open for more than 60 seconds, the alarm will sound. The alarm will stop by closing the
door.
TEMPERATURE ALARM
An alarm will sound if the temperature in one of the zones rises or falls outside the temperature range (41ºF-72ºF/
5ºC-22ºC) for more than an hour. The zone’s relevant temperature display will flash at the same time.
INTERIOR LIGHT
The interior light makes it easy to view your wine labels and enhances the display of your collection. Pressing the
LIGHT key toggles between 2 modes of operation for the internal lights: Functional (default) mode and Showcase
mode. If you are in functional (default) mode, the lights will turn on only when the door is open. If you are in Show-
case mode, the lights will be on whether or not the door is open.
DYNAMIC CLIMATE / SILENT MODE
In the Dynamic Cooling mode, the interior fan cycles on and off to circulate the inside air evenly even the set tem-
perature is reached. This will create a continuous climate inside the cabinet so you can store all your wine under
exactly the same excellent conditions. In the Silent mode, the interior fan stops working when the set temperature
is reached.
Dynamic Climate mode is the default preset mode which creates low noise. To change to Silent mode, press and
hold the UP key for approximately five seconds. The wine refrigerator will beep three times to confirm silent mode
is on. To change back to Dynamic Climate mode, press and hold the DOWN key for approximately five seconds.
The wine refrigerator will beep five times to confirm Dynamic Climate mode is on.
