CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure efficiency,
top performance, and long life.
Cleaning the Air Filter
Your wine cooler has two exhaust fans that are protected from lint,
dust, and dirt by air filters. To clean the air filters, follow the steps
below:
1) Power off the unit and remove the air filter located on the back of
the unit.
2) Use a vacuum cleaner or tap the filter lightly to remove loose
dust and dirt, then rinse thoroughly under lukewarm running water
(below 104°F). You may use a mild soap and water solution if
needed. Allow the air filter to air dry in a cool and shaded place. Dry
thoroughly before reinstalling.
Clean the air filter periodically. If the unit is used in a dusty
environment you may need to clean it on a weekly basis.
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.
