Care and Cleaning
WARNING
• To avoid possible injury due to electric shock, disconnect
the power cord or turn off power at the circuit breaker
panel or fuse box before cleaning the appliance.
• Clean only the parts of the appliance listed in this manual.
Clean them only in the manner specified.
• Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this appliance.
Steam could penetrate the electrical components and
cause a short circuit.
• Do not allow water or cleaning fluids to penetrate into the
electrical components or ventilation grill.
• Use only the types of cleaning solutions specified in this
manual. NEVER clean appliance parts with flammable
fluids.
• Do not use abrasives such as steel wool, scouring pads,
rough sponges or scrub brushes.
Defrosting
The compartment of your appliance defrosts automatically.
Water may form on the rear wall as part of the defrost process.
It drains into a reservoir at the back of the appliance and is
heated so that it evaporates.
Removing Shelves
1. Pull the shelf out until the notches are directly under the
plastic rack stops on both sides.
2. Lift the shelf straight up. The notches in the shelf allow it to
slide up, between the rack stops.
3. Once the shelf has cleared the rack stops, pull it out of the
compartment.
4. Push both slides back into the unit for safety, then close
the door.
To reinstall the shelves:
1. Pull the shelf slides out until they stop.
2. Insert the shelf into the unit above the slides. Line the
bottom of both notches up with the top of the rack stops.
3. Gently lower the rack down, allowing the rack stops to slide
between the notches.
4. With the shelf laying on top of the slides, slowly push in
on each slide until the holes on the bottom of the rack slip
over the pins on the top of each slide.
5. Once the rack is seated onto both slides, push the rack into
place inside the compartment.
Cleaning the Surfaces
• To remove finger prints on glass surfaces, use a mild glass
cleaner with a soft damp rag.
• Wipe all outside surfaces with a soft dry rag.
• Wipe all inside surfaces, including the control panel, with a
soft damp rag. Soak the rag with a mild detergent solution
and wring out before use. Remove the shelves when cleaning
inside walls.
When Not In Use
• Removal all bottles.
• Unplug the power plug from the electrical outlet.
• Remove the contents from the wine racks.
• Leave the door open for a few days to clear moisture,
blocking it open if necessary.
When Moving
• Unplug the power plug from the electrical outlet.
• Remove the contents from the wine racks and all moving
parts from inside.
• Raise the adjustable legs up to the base to avoid damage.
• Tape the door shut and lock it.
• Transport the wine cellar only in the upright position. Also
protect the outside of the appliance with a blanket or similar
item.
