middle section of the unit. See “Loading Tips and  
Suggestions” on the next page for information  
regarding glass shelf and wine rack configuration.  
Your appliance will start upon initial plug-in. The LED  
will flash amber upon initial plug-in due to your unit  
being powered-on at the factory to verify performance  
and then powered-off. The Sentry system senses a  
power outage has occurred and relays this  
information to you when you initially power-up your  
appliance. This is normal and pressing the  
“ON/OFF” button will reset this alarm function.  
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, press the “Light” button  
on the display panel. The light will come on and stay  
on with the door closed. To disable the display light,  
press the “Light” button again. The light will always  
come on when the door is opened.  
If your appliance’s control has been shut-off i.e., unit  
plugged in, interior lights operate, display blank,  
unit must be turned on. To turn on your appliance,  
push and hold for 5 seconds, the “ON/OFF” button  
located on the display panel. (See figure 3) Once  
loaded with wine bottles, allow at least 48 hours for  
the unit to stabilize before making any adjustments  
to the initial setting.  
Warning Alarms  
Your beverage center has been fitted with a Sentry  
system. This sentry will let you know if your unit is not  
functioning properly for optimum wine storage.  
Door Ajar Alarm  
If the door has been left open for over 5 minutes the  
alarm will sound and the LED will flash green. This  
will stop as soon as the door is closed.  
Set Your Temperature Mode  
This product can display either Fahrenheit or Celsius.  
To do this press the ”°F/C“ button on display panel.  
High and Low Temperature  
Set the Controls  
If your unit reaches temperatures outside normal  
operating temperatures for your set point for about  
one (1) hour duration, an alarm will sound and the  
LED will flash red. This will warn you that your wines  
have seen temperatures that may not be conducive  
for long term storage.  
The available temperature range of the unit is from  
40° to 65°F. The temperature set-point is initially set  
in the factory at 43°F. The temperature set-point can  
be lowered or raised by first pushing the “Set” button  
on the display pad. A “SET” icon will be displayed.  
This icon will turn off 10 second after completing  
your adjustments. Pushing either the “Warmer” or  
“Colder” buttons located on the inside of the unit on  
the display pad will raise or lower the set  
temperature by one degree F or C (depending on  
your setting). As with any refrigeration product, there  
is a slight temperature variance at different locations  
within the cabinet.  
Power Failure  
If your unit experiences a power failure the LED will  
flash amber until the alarm is reset.  
Reset Alarms  
Press the “ON/OFF” button for approximately one  
second. This will reset all audible and display alarms.  
Adjustable Temperature Control  
Sabbath Mode  
The temperature control is fully adjustable from 40°  
to 65°F. The range allows flexibility of temperature  
preferences and provides the ideal wine aging,  
storing and serving temperatures. Temperature  
range will average between 50 to mid 60’s in the  
upper section and 40 to 50’s in the lower section.  
Adjusting the “Warmer” or “Colder” buttons will  
affect both zones accordingly. The display  
temperature will be reflective of temperatures in the  
Your appliance is equipped with a Sabbath mode.

APPLIANCE FEATURES  
Insert Wine Bottles  
Wine Rack  
The wine rack roll-out shelf holds ten bottles. See  
Because bottles are not stacked on top of each  
other, you can easily view and access your  
inventory without disturbing other bottles. (See  
figure 6)  
figure 4 for typical wine bottle orientation. Wine  
rack can be located at the middle or bottom part of  
the cabinet interior. For red wines, place wine shelf  
at bottom shelf position in the cabinet. Then put a  
glass shelf in the next higher position. For white  
and sparkling wines, put the wine shelf on the  
middle shelf position in the cabinet. Place the  
remaining shelves as desired. (See figure 5) Also,  
there is a fixed, wooden, bottle cradle in the  
bottom, step section of the cabinet. Six bottles of  
wine may be stored there.  
Front Bottles (Necks Facing Rear)  
Rear Bottles (Necks Facing Front)  
Loading Tips and Suggestions  
The glass shelves and fixed position wire rack are  
for general beverage storage, such as beer and  
soft drinks. Opened wine bottles and tall beverage  
containers may be stored on the glass shelf closest  
to the cabinet top. Just lift the hinged section of the  
fixed position upper wire rack to provide clearance  
for the bottles and/or containers to stand upright.  
figure 4  
The wooden, bottom bottle cradle may be removed  
for storing “jug” wines. Just remove the two screws  
that secure the cradle to the cabinet floor.  
You can store magnum bottles and other large  
bottles on any of the shelves (except for the top  
shelf) by removing the shelf directly above them or  
placing the shelf at a position allowing for proper  
clearance.  
figure 5  
Commodities on the top rack directly under  
the light will be exposed to a slightly higher  
temperature when the light is on. 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.  
Roll-out Shelves  
The roll-out shelves may be pulled out  
approximately 14 inches to facilitate loading and  
retrieval. Do not lean on or press down heavily on  
the shelves. Doing so may damage the shelves or  
their contents. Pull out shelves gently and carefully  
to minimize any possible item shifting. To maintain  
stability, avoid pulling out more than one shelf at  
any time.

CARE AND CLEANING OF YOUR BEVERAGE CENTER  
Using a small flat-blade screwdriver, gently lever  
the front section of the light tube down to allow it  
to be pulled clear of the light housing.  
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 nothing 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.  
Disconnect the two insulated electrical connectors  
from the cabinet’s electrical cable and discard the  
old light tube. Reconnect the electrical connector of  
the new light tube to the cabinet’s electrical cable  
connectors. Make sure it is secure and fully  
installed.  
Cabinet  
Carefully realign the light tube’s electrical terminal  
back into the rear of the light enclosure channel  
making sure not to crimp them. Gently insert the  
light tube along the length of the light enclosure  
channel. Press the light tube gently into the light  
enclosure channel. Only a small part of the light  
tube should project below the ceiling of the  
beverage center. DO NOT USE A HAMMER TO  
FIT THE LIGHT TUBE.  
The painted cabinet can be washed with mild soap  
and water and thoroughly rinsed with clear water.  
Never use abrasive scouring cleaners.  
Interior  
Wash interior compartment with mild soap and  
water. Do not use an abrasive cleaner, solvent, polish  
cleaner or undiluted detergent.  
Glass Door  
Place the light tube terminal cover plate back in the  
original position on the light enclosure’s flange. Re-  
use the original two screws to secure it in place.  
Plug the beverage center into the electrical socket.  
Check to see if the light tubes operate properly.  
Your light tube’s replacement is complete.  
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 scour-  
ing powder.  
The light tubes are not covered by your warranty.  
Replacement tubes can be obtained from your  
service provider or from Marvel Industries.  
Light Tube Replacement  
WARNING! DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD  
BEFORE ATTEMPTING LIGHT TUBE REPLACE-  
MENT. Failure to do so may result in an electrical  
shock that could severely injure you.  
In the Event of a Power Failure  
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 effect 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.  
This product uses two, 6 watt light tubes to illumi-  
nate the interior of the beverage center. The light  
tube is a very reliable electrical component, but  
should it not function properly, please call the deal-  
er you purchased your beverage center from for a  
replacement light tube. Use only an original equip-  
ment light tube from your dealer or manufacturer.  
To replace a light tube, use a hex-head driver,  
remove the two hex-head screws that hold a cover  
plate over the back section of the light tube. Set the  
screws and cover plate aside for re-assembly later.
