Fully Flush Installation with Hidden Hinges
provides a built-in look within a standard 24″ base cabinet, so your style stands out, not the appliance. Hidden hinges allow the beverage center door to sit flush with surrounding cabinet fronts when closed yet easily swing open a full 115 degrees.
Two Temperature-Controlled Zones
allow you to chill red and white wines between 42–64°F in the lower zone and keep sodas, seltzers and craft brews at colder temperatures in the upper zone, which adjusts from a low of 33°F for cold drinks up to 40°F for cheese and charcuterie.
Temperature Monitoring System
uses sensors to monitor temperatures inside the wine cellar for added peace of mind. If the system detects temperatures above 70°F for more than 4 hours, an over-temp alarm and indicator light will alert you that service is needed.
Motion-Activated LED Lighting
turns on inside as you approach, so you can see what’s inside without opening the door. Lights will gradually dim and turn off when no longer needed.
SatinGlide® Full-Extension Metal-Front Racks
pull all the way out, making it easy to load bottles in when restocking and find just the one you want when serving. Metal fronts let you coordinate with your home decor.
UV-Protected Thermal Glass Door
filters UV rays to protect the contents of your beverage center from the damaging effects of heat and light.
Stainless Steel Cabinet and Base Grille
complement the stainless steel door for a fully finished look.
Glass Shelves with Metallic Accents
bring distinctive style inside with a solid glass design that makes it easy to wipe up spills. Metallic accents along the front edges add to the premium look.
4.8 Cu. Ft. Capacity
features two lower racks for up to 14 bottles of wine and two full-width upper shelves for drinks and food. Now you can stash sodas, seltzers and syrups along with cheese plates and charcuterie boards.
Door Alarm
alerts you if the door has been left open for five minutes or more and repeats every two minutes until you close the door or touch the controls.
Backlit Touch Controls
located inside the refrigerator make it easy to choose settings for what you’re storing. The lighted control panel displays the current temperature and other status alerts.
Sabbath Mode (Star-K Certified)
to meet kosher requirements for use on the Jewish Sabbath and other religious holidays. Turning on Sabbath Mode disables automatic lights and alarm tones.
Max Cool
sets both zones to their lowest temperature for up to 24 hours, so you can turn up the cold when the beverage center door will be open while serving or restocking.
Automatic Defrost
cycles automatically to help reduce frost build-up, freeing you from having to regularly empty the appliance and manually defrost.
