Marvel Simplifies Wine Storage and ServingChateau Collection Expands With Debut of Dual-Zone Wine Cellar

MAY 2, 2007 - RICHMOND, IN - Marvel Industries simplifies wine storage and serving with the launch of the Marvel Chateau Collection Dual-Zone Wine Cellar at the 2007 Kitchen/Bath Industry Show. Unlike its single zone counterparts intended either for storage or serving, the Dual-Zone Wine Cellar is designed for maturing and chilling. An elegantly designed single cabinet houses two independently controlled compartments cooled by forced air evaporator design. This provides temperature control and consistency with more powerful cooling for improved pull-down and recovery times. Adjustable from 40-65 degrees F, each compartment temperature can be customized for storage, service of whites or service of reds.

This model also houses new features that will echo throughout the brand's Chateau Collection.

* The Vibration Neutralization System (VNS) is a unique three-layer design that protects wine from damaging vibration without sacrificing cabinet capacity:
1) compressor is isolated from wine storage cavity, virtually eliminating the transfer of vibration,
2) vibration isolating mount on the compressor offers a second layer of protection from vibration transfer,
3) vibration dampening shelf mat absorbs any stray vibrations.

* The exclusive Sentry System refrigeration monitor operates in real time to actively maintain optimal conditions. Instead of sporadic cycling on and off to meet the set point, it uses intuitive controls to predict wine temperature based on demand. This engages the cooling system and adjusts temperature creating a more stable environment, like a natural wine cellar. The system also monitors critical components like door ajar, power failure or temperature change and announces them with visual and audible alarms.

This well-appointed model also provides thoughtful features typical of Marvel. Full-extension glide-out racks hold all types of bottles, from splits to Champagne, for a 44 bottle capacity. Elegant interior lighting displays wines and may be set for continuous illumination with one-touch control. Built-in Sabbath mode is user-activated.

The Marvel Dual-Zone Wine Cellar will be available fall of 2007 through their network of nearly 700 dealers nationwide. For complete information regarding this model, or to locate a Marvel distributor near you, visit www.lifeluxurymarvel.com or contact Marvel at 800-428-6644.
