CARE AND CLEANING
Helpful Hints
Allow the wine cooler door to remain open for several hours after manual cleaning to
air out and dry the inside of the wine cooler cabinet.
NOTE: Be certain the power is off before cleaning any part of this appliance.
Cleaning Your Wine Cooler
•
Turn off the power, unplug the appliance and remove all items.
•
Wash the inside surfaces with warm water and baking soda. The solution should be
about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.
•
Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution.
•
Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning area of the controls
or any electrical parts.
•
Wash the outside cabinet with warm and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe
dry with a clean soft cloth.
Note: Never use any commercial or abrasive cleaners or sharp objects on any
part of the wine cooler.
Defrosting
Defrosting occurs automatically inside of the wine cooler during operation.
Approximately every 8 hours, the compressor will stop running for about 30 minutes.
During defrosting the temperature display may be higher than the set temperature.
The defrost water is collected by the evaporator drip tray and evaporates
automatically
.
Power Failure
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the
temperature of your appliance if you minimize the number of times the door is
opened.
Vacation Time
Leave the wine cooler operating during vacations of less than three weeks. If you
turn off the wine cooler for extended periods, leave the door slightly ajar to prevent
odor from building up inside the appliance.
Transporting Your Wine Cooler
If you need to move your wine cooler once the box has been discarded:
•
Securely tape down all loose items (shelves) inside your appliance.
•
Turn the adjustable leg up to the base to avoid damage and tape door shut.
•
Be sure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation.
Also protect the outside of the appliance with a blanket, or similar item.
Energy Saving Tip
The wine cooler should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat
producing appliances and out of the direct sunlight
