CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE 

 

Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure efficiency, top 
performance, and long life.  

Exterior Cleaning 

The door and cabinet may be cleaned with a mild detergent and 
lukewarm water solution such as 2 tablespoons of baking soda to 1 quart 
of water. 
 
Do not use solvent based or abrasive cleaners. Use a soft sponge and 
rinse with clean water. Wipe with a soft clean towel to prevent water 
spotting. If the door panel is stainless steel, it can discolor when exposed 
to chlorine gas and moisture. Clean stainless steel with a cloth dampened 
with a mild detergent and warm water solution. Never use an abrasive or 
caustic cleaning agent. 

Interior Cleaning 

The 

wine refrigerator’s interior should be cleaned occasionally.  

1. Disconnect power to the unit. 
2. Open the door and remove the contents and shelves. 
3. Wait until the unit defrosts. 
4. With a clean cloth, wipe down the interior of the unit.  
5. Reinsert the shelves and beverages. 
6. Reconnect power to the unit.
