The mechanical parts of the wine cellar do not require any particular periodic mainte-
nance.
To maximise the life-span of the wine cellar, it is necessary to do regular cleaning.
Note: in each operations for first unplug the unit!
Body
- General cleaning can be done by using a duster. For stain removal, use warm wa-
ter with mild detergent.
Inside the cellar
- Do manual defrosting if necessary. To clean, use water and mild de-
tergent or neutral soap. Do not use corrosive products, or abrasive materials as they
may remove the protective film and damage inner walls and the shelves. Clean the
shelves carefully.
Manual deforsting
- At least once a year or when necessary do a manual defrosting on
the rear evaporating wall: do not use metal or abrasive objects, do not wait until the ice
melts completely on its own, empty the cabinet, after about 20/30 minutes with the
door open, it should be possible to detach gently ice from the wall. To restart the appli-
ance, run it empty for at least two hours or until it reaches the set temperature. For fill-
ing, if the operation requires several minutes, switch off temporarily and reactivate
when the operation is complete.
Plastic parts
- Wash with warm water and mild detergent. It is important to keep the
door gasket clean (suggest specify product for car dashboard) to prevent any odours
inside the wine cellar.
Wooden cellar outside walls
- the parts are painted mainly with water paint, not use
for cleaning water or liquid product, cleaning with a dry cloth is sufficient. Treat once a
year with beeswax or a similar product suitable for wood treatment to keep the surface
of your wooden cellar shiny and bright.
Condensing unit
- It is very important to clean the condensing unit. This is the radia-
tor which allows the exit of hot air during the refrigeration process. The dirt deposited
on this part will obstruct the heat loss. The cleaning of this part must be done once a
year at least by using a brush or a vacuum cleaner (ensure that the wine cellar is not
connected to the electrical supply when this cleaning is done).
Condensate water
- store in the tray above or side by side the compressor and evapo-
rates with heat. However if the back area isn’t accessible as for built-in model, is sug-
gested to provide an external discharge.
Humidifier
