Maintaining Your Wine Cooler
Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will
ensure efficiency, top performance, and long
life. The maintenance intervals listed are based
on normal conditions. You may want to shorten
the intervals if you have pets or other special
considerations.
Exterior Cleaning for Your Stainless
Steel Model
• Your stainless steel model may discolor when
exposed to chlorine gas, pool chemicals, salt
water, or cleaners with bleach.
• Keep your stainless unit looking new by
cleaning with a high quality, all-in-one
stainless steel cleaner/polish on a monthly
basis. Frequent cleaning will remove surface
contamination that could lead to rust. Some
installations will require cleaning on a weekly
basis.
• DO NOT CLEAN WITH STEEL WOOL PADS.
• DO NOT USE CLEANERS THAT ARE
NOT SPECIFICALLY INTENDED FOR
STAINLESS STEEL (this includes glass, tile
and counter cleansers).
• If any surface discolors or rusting appears,
clean it quickly with Bon-Ami or Barkeepers
Friend Cleanser and a non-abrasive cloth.
Always clean in the direction of the grain.
Always finish this process with a high quality,
all-in-one stainless steel cleaner/polish to
prevent further problems.
• USE OF ABRASIVE PADS SUCH AS
SCOTCHBRITE WILL CAUSE THE
GRAINING IN THE STAINLESS TO
BECOME BLURRED.
• Rust that is allowed to linger can penetrate
into the surface of the stainless steel and
become impossible to remove.
CAUTION
• Stainless steel models exposed to
chlorine gas and moisture such as areas
with spas or swimming pools, may have
some discoloration of the stainless steel.
Discoloration from chlorine gas is normal.
Follow exterior cleaning instructions.
• NEVER USE CHLORIDE OR CLEANERS
CONTAINING BLEACH TO CLEAN
STAINLESS STEEL.
