to follow this instruction can result in death or injury.
NOTE: Any time the unit is unplugged, the temperature will default to the factory
setting. Reset your desired temperature setting.
Cleaning
General:
• Prepare a cleaning solution of 3-4 tablespoons of baking soda mixed with warm
water.
• Using a soft cloth or sponge, dampened with the cleaning solution, wipe down
interior and exterior of unit.
• Rinse with clean, warm water and dry with a soft cloth.
• Never use an abrasive cleanser or pad as this could damage the finish.
NOTE: Removable racks and shelves should only be handwashed.
Gaskets:
• Clean door gaskets every three months according to the general instructions
shown above.
• Apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly to the hinge side of the gasket to keep the
gasket pliable and to ensure a good seal.
Defrosting:
The Beverage and Wine Center is designed with a manual defrost system. The unit
will defrost when it is unplugged. Water is automatically channeled to the drip tray
on the back of the unit. Heat transfer from the compressor will evaporate the water
when the unit is running.
