Maintaining Your Plum
Cleaning the Touchscreen
The touchscreen has a glass panel to make it durable and easy to clean. You can clean the
touchscreen to remove fingerprints by putting a bit of glass cleaner on a microfiber cloth to avoid
scratching your screen.
To avoid accidentally pouring wine, touch the
Settings
button, then the
SCREEN
button and
then the
SCREEN CLEANING
button, which will disable all input for 30 seconds so you can
clean the screen. After 30 seconds it will automatically return to the default wine screen.
Cleaning the Front Panel
The front panel is finished in a UV coating to prevent fading. To clean the front panel, simply
wipe the panel with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh cleaners to prevent damaging the paint.
Cleaning the Stainless Steel Shell
Your Plum is finished in a #4 brushed 304 grade stainless steel. It is recommended that you use
only stainless steel cleaner to keep your Plum looking beautiful.
Cleaning the Bottle Trays
The bottle trays are powder-coated for durability. Simply wipe the bottle trays down with a cloth
if any wine is on the tray.
Cleaning/Replacing the Needles
The needles do not need to be manually cleaned. If you want to wipe down the needle, you can
remove the needle cover and wipe it with a damp cloth.
The needles are incredibly durable and designed to last more than 400 bottles per chamber. If
your needle needs replacing, please contact Plum and you can order replacement needles along
with a simple tool to make replacement easier.
Cleaning/Sanitizing Your Plum
Your Plum keeps track of when it needs cleaning of the tubing and needles. While there are no
health risks, it ensures that a wine with a flaw such as Brettanomyces does not affect your next
bottle. When the system needs cleaning, it will notify you on the touchscreen and walk you
through the process.
Use the included cleaning bottle and fill it to the indicated mark with hot tap water (important:
not to exceed 140° Fahrenheit). Drop in a cleaning tablet and insert into the chamber that needs
cleaning. The system will automatically run the cleaning cycle, which takes approximately seven
minutes. It will prompt you to put a container under the spout during cleaning.
