Care and Maintenance
Cleaning your wine cellar:
•
Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all items including all shelves.
•
Wash the inside surfaces with warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2
tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.
•
Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution.
•
Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning area of the controls, or any electrical parts.
•
Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
•
Do not use steel wool or steel brush on the stainless steel. These will contaminate the stainless steel with steel
particles and rusting may occur.
•
Dust the front grill and back of the unit twice yearly. Make sure the power is off before cleaning.
•
It is recommended to clean the unit completely inside and out yearly to maximize the longevity of the product.
Moving your wine cellar:
•
Remove all bottles and any other items you may have inside the unit.
•
Securely tape down all loose items (shelves) inside your appliance and tape the door shut.
•
Turn the adjustable leg up to the base to avoid damage.
•
Be sure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation.
•
Protect the outside of the appliance with a blanket or similar item.
Racking Configuration
Disperse your bottles evenly throughout the unit so as not to concentrate weight in any one area. This also helps to
provide an even temperature range throughout the unit. Make sure that bottles are not all grouped together either at
the top or bottom of the cabinet. The maximum capacity per shelf is 55 lbs. Never try to pull out more than one rolling
shelf at a time as it can cause the appliance to tip forward.
You can remove a shelf to accommodate larger diameter bottles on the shelf below it. To remove a shelf, pull it out as
far as you can. There are levers on each side of the shelf near the rollers. Left the lever on the left hand side and push
down the lever on the right hand side to remove the shelf from the tracks.
This Allavino Wine Cellar has 14 shelves that can hold up to
11 bottles each and a top shelf that can hold up to 20
bottles. It has a maximum capacity of 174 bottles, based
on the standard Bordeaux size bottle. Your total bottle
capacity may vary depending upon the size of the bottles
in your collection; larger bottles will decrease the capacity.
