Maintenance
Before cleaning the cabinet (this must be done regularly), disconnect it either by
unplugging it or by removing the fuse.
It is suggested that before first use and then regularly, the cabinet be cleaned both
inside and out (front, sides and on top) with a mixture of warm water and gentle
cleaning fluid. Rinse with water and let dry completely before reconnecting. Do not
use solvents or abrasive products.
Clean the plasticized steel shelves with a gentle detergent then dry with a soft dry
cloth. The wood shelves need no particular upkeep.
At the moment of the first use, some odours can persist. In this case, make
functioning the appliance at the coldest temperatures, empty, during a few hours. The
cold will cancel all these possible odours.
STORING THE CABINET
If the cabinet is going to be unused for a short period of time. Leave the control
panel with the normal settings.
In case of prolonged un-use
- Remove the bottles from the cabinet
- Unplug the cabinet
- Clean both the inside and the outside of the cabinet
- Leave the door open to avoid condensation, odors and mold..
WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF A POWER OUTAGE
Most power outages are resolved in a short time. An outage of 1 or 2 hours will not
affect the temperatures in your cabinet. In order to protect the wines during the
outage, open the door as little as possible. For outages that are very long, take
necessary steps to protect the wine.
IF THE CABINET MUST BE MOVED
Remove all the bottles in the cabinet and securely fasten all moveable parts..
To avoid damaging the levelling screws on the feet, screw them completely into their
base.
Move the appliance in vertical position or please note from the external packing the
logistical instructions, the side on which it can be layed down.
