Unpacking

While unpacking your unit, please check to make sure that all parts are included and undamaged. Please

call WineKeeper at 855.511.5113 if there are any problems. YOU MUST REPORT damage immediately

and missing parts within 7 days of receiving your unit.

These parts are included with your unit:

•Appropriate number of faucets for your unit

•Regulator (for use with refillable nitrogen or argon cylinder)

•Cleaning kit

•Instructions

Setting Up Your Unit

Your WineKeeper wine dispensing unit must be installed on a flat, level surface with vented space of at

least 3" behind, 1" on the sides, and 12" above the unit for proper ventilation. Once your unit is properly

located, attach the faucets. Taking care to align the threads properly, place the faucet on the thru-wall and

tighten the wing nut.

You may now plug the units’ power

cord into 110 volt grounded electrical

outlets. Be sure to plug in all electrical

cords:

•4-bottle units = 1 plug

•8-bottle units = 2 plugs

An 8 foot gas supply line is included

with your unit. The supply line

includes a quick connect fitting that

connects to the regulator supplied with

your unit. USING A REGULATOR

OTHER THAN THE ONE

SUPPLIED WILL VOID THE

WARRANTY. Your nitrogen/argon

cylinder can be placed anywhere

convenient—vertical or horizontal.

DO NOT TAMPER WITH OR

REMOVE THE QUICK-

DISCONNECT TO COUPLE YOUR GAS SUPPLY

LINE AND REGULATOR, THIS WILL ALSO VOID THE WARRANTY.

Hand tighten the supplied regulator to your nitrogen/argon cylinder, do not use a wrench. Do not

connect the gas line to the regulator at this time. Open the gas cylinder valve (turn the valve counter-

clockwise to open.) The gas pressure from the cylinder will seal the regulator in place. The gauge on the

regulator should read approx. 1800 lbs. for an aluminum cylinder, and 2200 lbs. for a steel cylinder, when

full.

You must now bleed the air from the system. With all the pinch clamps open, attach the gas supply line

quick connect fitting to the regulator fitting. Be sure the small metal lever on the gas supply line fitting is

in the down position. When the gas begins to flow through the lines and out the stopper assemblies, move

down the unit closing off all the pinch clamps. You are now ready to connect wine bottles.

How to Attach Wine Bottles to Your Machine

1. Place the stopper assembly into the

wine bottle. (Attach FULL wine bottles

ONLY.)

2. While holding the stopper so that the

latex seal is just at the lip of the bottle

opening, open the pinch clamp for 2

seconds. This will displace the air from

the bottleneck.

3. Close off the pinch clamp, and insert

the stopper all the way into the bottle.

4. Hold the stopper assembly with one

hand and tighten the knurled

thumbwheel clockwise with the other

hand until gently snug. Turn the

thumbwheel 1⁄4 to 1⁄2 of a turn further.

DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN THE

THUMBWHEEL. If the thumbwheel

“pops” while turning, you have over-

tightened it. The best seal is obtained

with a dry bottleneck and latex seal.

OVER-TIGHTENING will damage

the stopper.

5. Adjust the sliding stainless steel tube for proper bottle depth. The tube may be placed all the way

to the bottom for white wines, and slightly raised off the bottom for red wines with sediment.

6. Open all pinch clamps and pull the faucet handle to produce a drop of wine from each faucet.

This removes the air trapped between the wine in the tube and the faucet tip.

7. Dispense wine by pulling the faucet handle completely forward to achieve a clean pour.

Note: WineKeeper has preset your unit to hold white wine at 44o-45 o F and red wine at 62 o -64 o F. After

initial set up is complete, let your unit run for 24 hours before attempting any temperature adjustment.

(See “Temperature Adjustment” and “FAQs” #3, #4, #5 and #6, before adjusting temperature).

Getting to Know Your WineKeeper

This unit uses pressurized nitrogen or argon gas to dispense and preserve wine from within a temperature-

controlled zone. Your unit may have up to two temperature zones, which can be controlled by the

thermostat adjustment knob located inside the bottle compartment on the left side ceiling.

These units are illuminated by a series of light tubes installed on the inside of the unit. Each refrigerator

has its own light tube that is controlled by a toggle switch located on the back of the unit.

Depending on which model you have, your unit may have up to two power cords exiting the back of the

machine. ALL POWER CORDS MUST BE ATTACHED FOR THE UNIT TO WORK PROPERLY.

Your unit uses a nitrogen or argon cylinder (not included) located remotely and connected to your unit by

an 8-foot long braided hose that has a metal quick disconnect fitting on the end. This hose exits the rear

of the unit at the bottom next to the power cords.

Operating Your Unit

Changing bottles

1. Pinch off the nitrogen clamp.

2. Loosen the thumbwheel.

3. Remove the empty bottle, replace with full bottle.

4. Follow steps 1-7 listed in “Setting Up Your Unit”.

Changing gas cylinder

1. Turn cylinder valve to the off position (clockwise)

and disconnect the supply hose from the regulator

by depressing the small metal lever. Your system

will remain pressurized.

2. Depress the tip of the quick-connect fitting on the

regulator, relieving the pressure in the regulator, so

that you may loosen the hand nut. Replace the

cylinder and attach the regulator, hand tighten the

regulator nut onto the new full cylinder and open

the cylinder valve. A full aluminum cylinder will

read 1800 lbs., a steel cylinder will read 2200 lbs.

3. Depress the tip of the quick-connect fitting on the

regulator for two seconds to displace air from the regulator.

4. Reconnect the supply hose to the regulator.

Your system is now ready for use. There is no need to bleed the system, as the supply hose quick-connect

has a shut off valve which holds gas pressure to the wine bottles during the cylinder change out.

CAUTION: Risk of Electric Shock !

This equipment may have two or more power supply cords. Unplug all cords

before moving or servicing this equipment.

Cleaning Your Unit

When used correctly, your WineKeeper system prevents the oxidation process that causes wine to spoil.

Lack of proper maintenance will eliminate most of the benefits of your WineKeeper. Indications that your

system needs cleaning include wine with a cloudy look and /or an odd taste. We recommend that you

clean your system once a month or as needed.

Standard Cleaning Process

1. Close off the nitrogen pinch clamps.

2. Loosen the stopper assemblies in each bottle to release gas pressure.

3. Pull the handle on each faucet (with a glass below) to drain wine from each faucet and tube.

Remove the wine bottles. Do not place these used bottles back on the unit after you have

completed the cleaning process, these wines should be hand poured.

4. Mix the Wine Line Cleaner (WLC) solution with water as per the instructions printed on the

container (additional cleaning supplies are available from WineKeeper).

5. Pour this mixture into clean empty wine bottles (3 - 4 ounces is sufficient).

6. Replace and seal the stopper assemblies in each bottle then open the pinch clamps.

7. Pour off a small amount of the liquid. Allow solution to remain in the wine tubes for 10 minutes.

Dispense the remaining solution through the system.

8. Rinse by running one full bottle of hot

water through the system.

9. Mix ChlorTab Sanitizer solution per

instructions and repeat steps 5, 6 & 7

allowing three minutes of contact.

10. Rinse with hot water.

11. Remove the faucet assembly from the

thru-wall.

12. Unscrew the bonnet from the black

funnel shaped portion (faucet body) of

the faucet assembly.

13. Remove the seat cup from the stem.

Clean the seat cup and the faucet body

in the sanitizer. Rinse with warm water.

(DO NOT USE SOAP!) Dry and

re-assemble the faucet assembly.

14. Use the supplied bottle-brush to scrub inside the thru-wall and upper portion of the wine tube.

Use the smaller bottle-brush to clean inside the stainless steel siphon tube.

15. Re-install the faucet assembly onto the thru-wall.

16. Rinse out the empty wine bottles and fill completely with clean hot water. Dispense 1 full bottle

of water through each faucet assembly. Drain all water from the faucet assemblies and wine tubes.

17. Your unit is now ready for use. Place only full bottles of wine on your WineKeeper, do not

reattach the bottles you removed for the cleaning process.

Note: Never leave a stopper assembly outside of a bottle. Air will come in contact with the wine inside the

wine tube and faucet assembly, beginning the oxidation process and possibly exposing the system to

bacteria.

Cabinet Exterior

Wood Units: All WineKeeper wooden cabinets are finished with a durable catalyzed finish. These

cabinets can be cleaned with a soft cloth and small amount of warm soapy water. Avoid using excessive

amounts of water, as this may cause the finish to peel or flake over time. Do not use abrasive cleaners or

products containing harsh solvents.

Plastic and Metal Laminates including Stainless Steel: These products tend to resist most solvent-based

cleaners, so it is recommended that their use be limited. Warm soapy water is the recommended cleaning

method for these units. A number of specialty products designed to clean these types of materials are

readily available through kitchen and restaurant supply firms, but do not use abrasive cleaners.

Cabinet Interior / Glass

All WineKeeper interiors can be cleaned with warm soapy water. DO NOT USE any abrasive cleaners.

Stubborn stains may need to be cleaned with products similar to 409TM. These products MUST NOT

contain solvents, as this will seriously mar the interior surfaces! The glass on the unit can be cleaned with

any product similar to Windex TM. Silicone sprayed into each door track will assist door operation. Sliding

glass doors can be removed from the cabinet by first lifting the glass upwards, then pulling the bottom of

the glass towards you, and down. (Make sure that all glass doors are replaced in the correct track. Failure

to do so may result in a change of interior temperatures and refrigeration efficiency).

Troubleshooting

If you are experiencing problems with your WineKeeper, please read over the information included in this

manual before calling us at 855.511.5113.

Finding a Nitrogen Leak

Checking Supply Hose and Tubing

Visually check all tubes for cracks or holes.

Checking the Regulator (must be original WineKeeperTM regulator for safety and performance):

1. Disconnect the quick-connect fitting on the supply tube where it joins the regulator.

2. Turn on the cylinder. (Make a note of the pressure registered on the regulator gauge).

3. Turn off the cylinder.

4. Wait 20-30 minutes, if the pressure registered on the regulator has dropped, the problem is in the

regulator.

5. Use soapy water to find the leak or return the regulator to WineKeeper for repair.

6. If leak is not in the regulator, or the regulator leak has been repaired, continue.

Checking the system (For this test, the WineKeeper should be connected to wine bottles with 2-3 ounces

of liquid for best results.)

1. Reconnect the supply line and open the cylinder valve.

2. Leave the valve open for 30 seconds to completely pressurize the system.

3. Close off the nitrogen pinch clamps. Stopper assemblies must be in the wine bottles and

tightened down at this time.

4. Turn off the cylinder valve and note the pressure on the regulator’s gauge.

5. Leave the unit undisturbed for 20 minutes.

6. If the pressure drops, your problem is in the supply line between the regulator and the pinch

clamps. If the pressure does not drop, continue to step #7. Check the supply tubes where they

pass through the cabinet for holes, cracks, or chafing.

7. While observing the cylinder contents on the regulator’s pressure gauge, open and close each

pinch clamp one at a time. Stop if you see the pressure gauge drop while the pinch clamp is open,

because you have found a problem. It could be that the stopper-assembly has not been tightened

into the bottle correctly, that the tube below the pinch clamp has a hole, or that the latex ring has

become excessively worn. Address each of these possibilities and repeat these steps if necessary. If

no leak is found, human error is suspected as the cause of the leak.

8. If this problem continues contact WineKeeper for additional help.

Note: If the stopper assembly appears to be leaking wine, tighten the stainless steel hose clamp that

connects the clear wine tube to the stainless steel tube right above the stopper assembly. Look for a leak

anywhere in the wine tube or the barb on the back of the thru-wall inside the cabinet. Remember that

your WineKeeper should be cleaned at least once a month.

Frost Build Up / Temperature Adjustment

All refrigerators my need periodic defrosting, as well as units that have been operating with their doors

ajar. (Always check that the doors are closed correctly!) Place a towel behind the wine bottles, leave the

doors open, and turn the refrigerators off. We suggest that the unit be unplugged for the defrosting

process, as opposed to turning the thermostat to the off position while defrosting. This method saves you

the trouble of having to re-adjust the temperature when you re-start the unit. NEVER USE ANY SHARP

TOOL TO SPEED UP THE DE-ICING PROCESS! To adjust the temperature on manual defrost

units, find the thermostat adjustment knob located inside the bottle compartment on the left side ceiling.

Turning the knob clockwise will cause the unit run colder (never turn to max); turning it counter-

clockwise will cause the unit to run warmer. A 1/16th turn will change the temperature approximately 3o

F. Allow a minimum of 2 hours between temperature adjustments to allow the air temperature to

stabilize.

Note: The thermometer reads air temperature. The air temperature will fluctuate 4o- 5oF as the

refrigerator cycles on and off. The product temperature remains at the mid range of this fluctuation.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do I change a light tube?

Light tubes are held in place by two nylon clamps, and are connected using male/female plug connections

on each of the wires. First unplug the unit that you are working on (there maybe more than one electrical

cord on your unit). Carefully separate the blue male connector from the blue female connector on each

electrical wire. DO NOT PULL ON THE WIRE TO SEPARATE PLUGS. You may use pliers if

needed. Next, slide disconnected light tube to the left until it comes out of one the retaining clamps, then

slide the light tube to the right until it drops free. Reverse process to re- install.

2. Where can I find the light switch?

The light switch for these models is located at the upper right corner on the back of each refrigerator when

viewed from the front of your cabinet. It is on top of the rectangular metal cover box.

3. What temperature should my white wine / standard thermostat be set to?

The white wine thermostat has an operational range of approximately 42o - 48oF, and WineKeeper has

preset it to 44o- 45oF. If a warmer temperature is required, an optional dual range thermostat can be

installed. Dual range thermostats have a range of 46o- 68oF.

4. What temperature should my red / dual range thermostat be set to?

The dual range thermostat has an operational range of approximately 46o- 68oF, WineKeeper has preset

it to 62o- 64oF. Attempting to adjust the thermostat beyond the operational range will either lock the

refrigerator in the full on or full off position. A full on position will cause the unit to ice up and bypass the

defrost cycle.
