Wooden shelving on the left (wine): This Zephyr has six black wood racks with stainless steel trim. These high-density black wooden shelves are strong and they have moisture repellence property.
These racks are full-extension shelves for easy access to your wine bottles.
You can store a total of 21 standard Bordeaux-size wine bottles on these six racks.
Tip: If you need to pull shelves out of the rail compartment, you want to make sure the door is open at a minimum 90 degrees. Why? Because you don’t want to damage the door or the door gasket.
Glass shelving on the right (beverage): These are slide-out glass shelves – made with beautiful transparent-gray glass with air flow openings.
You can store 18-can on each shelf to give you 54 cans, plus another 10-can capacity in the bottom section – total of 64 cans.
We installed this unit at a design project in Tiburon. The owners use this chamber (right) to store beers at the perfect temperature of 38° F.
Control and Alarm. You can manage the settings using the Electronic Capacitive Touch Controls.
Check out these impressive alarm and control features:
Door Alarm: This feature helps you to close the door when you accidentally left it open for more than 3 minutes.
Sabbath mode: This is an excellent option to observe restrictions on the use of your beverage appliance during Sabbath and Judaism holidays.
- To turn Sabbath mode on, press the Power icon and simultaneously press the Temperature Increase icon twice.
- You will see the interior light and the electronic display go dark.
- The cooler maintains the internal temperature while Sabbath mode is active.
- To turn the Sabbath mode off, you press the Power icon again, and the Temperature Up icon twice at the same time.
PreciseTemp™: This is a Zephyr trade-mark precision technology that uses multiple internal sensors to maintain super accurate temperatures.
Active Cooling Technology: An on-board computer controls active cooling fans to provide temperature stability and even cooling.
Air Filtration System: A built-in carbon filter is a natural barrier to protect your wines against undesirable odors. Tip: If this unit is installed in your kitchen, it is best to replace the carbon filter every quarter. If it is housed in a space with minimum exposure to odor, it is fine to change the filter every 6 months then.
Vibration Dampening System: Less vibration helps to minimize disturbance to your wine.
Interior Lighting. It is wonderful to have options to illuminate your vintage collection. This Zephyr model has a 3-Color LED Lighting available in:
- Cloud white,
- Deep blue,
- Golden amber.
Door Handles. This Zephyr dual zone comes with a pair of contemporary style door handles.
Tip: to install these round towel bars properly:
- Locate the designated holes for the door handle – by pushing aside the door gasket on each side.
- Install the handle tightly on each side with the two included screws, lock washers and flat-washers.
Lock. This wine and beverage fridge does not have a lock. From a design perspective, the absent of a lock element is on-point for a seamless surface.
Warranty. This expensive Zephyr wine and beverage cooler comes with an impressive warranty of 5 years compressor, 2-year parts and 1 year labor.
