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 accordance with
the National Electrical Code and applicable local
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. All U.L. listed refrigerated products are
equipped with this type of plug.
To start your appliance, use a screwdriver to turn the
control clockwise to the middle thermostat setting
(see figure 2). Once the beverage center is loaded,
allow at least 48 hours for the unit to stabilize before
making any adjustments to the initial setting.
Insert Wine Bottles: The wine rack roll-out shelf
holds eight bottles. See figure 3 for typical wine
bottle orientation.

Note: 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 cab-
inet. Place the remaining shelves as desired.
Also, there is a fixed, wooden, bottle cradle in the
bottom, step section of the cabinet. Six bottles of
wine may be stored there.
Set the Control: The total available temperature
range of the unit is from 39°F to the high sixties,
depending on the thermostat setting and location of
the cabinet. The middle range on the control is from
the mid-forties to the mid-fifties depending on ambient

there is a slight temperature variance at different loca-
tions within the cabinet. For example, the coolest area
will be in the rear of the middle of the cabinet.
Commodities on the top shelf will be 3° to 8° warmer.
This section and the bottom cabinet step section are
the warmest areas. Items in the front of the middle
shelves will be 1° to 4° warmer than the rear of the
shelves. Position your wine inventory accordingly on
your wine shelf.
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.
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 con-
tainers 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.
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 rear.
Do not pull out upper glass shelf when tall bottles are placed
upright through the opening in the hinged wire shelf. Doing
so may cause the tall, upright bottles to fall backwards.

hex-head screws back into their original positions to
fasten the light tube housing assembly to the top of
the cabinet.
Condenser: The condenser tubing inside the cabinet
does not require frequent cleaning; however, satis-
factory 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.
Re-use the original two screws to secure the light tube
housing in place. Plug the beverage center into the
electrical socket. Check to see if the light tubes oper-
ate properly. Your light tube’s replacement is complete.
The light tubes are not covered by your guarantee. A
replacement light tube housing can be obtained from
your service provider or from Marvel Industries.
Cabinet: The painted cabinet can be washed with
mild soap and water and thoroughly rinsed with clear
water. Never use abrasive scouring powders.
What to do in
the Event of a Power Failure
Interior: Wash interior compartment with mild soap
and water. Do not use an abrasive powder, solvent,
polish cleaner or undiluted detergent.
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.
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 powders.
Door Gasket: The vinyl gasket may be cleaned with
mild soap and water, a baking soda solution or a mild
scouring powder.
Light Tube Replacement: WARNING! DISCONNECT
THE POWER CORD BEFORE ATTEMPTING LIGHT
TUBE HOUSING ASSEMBLY REPLACEMENT.
Failure to do so may result in an electrical shock that
could severely injure you.

equipment light tube housing assembly from your
dealer or manufacturer.

Roll-out Shelves: The roll-out shelves may be pulled
out approximately 14 inches to facilitate product loading
and retrieval. Do not lean on or press down heavily on
the shelves, doing so may damage the shelves or their

item shifting. To maintain stability, avoid pulling out more
than one shelf at any time.
