DOOR LOCK
The wine cooler comes with a lock and key combination. The keys are located inside the plastic bag
containing the Owner’s Manual. To unlock the door, insert the key into the lock and turn it counter-clockwise.
To lock the door, insert the key and turn it clockwise, ensuring that the metal pin is fully engaged.
DEFROSTING
The wine cooler defrosts automatically. The evaporator behind the rear wall of the unit automatically defrosts
and the condensate collects in the drainage channel behind the rear wall of the unit, and flows through the
drainage hole into the drip tray by the compressor, where it evaporates.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING YOUR WINE COOLER
IMPORTANT : Always unplug the unit before cleaning or performing maintenance. Never use harsh
cleansers or scouring pads to clean any part of the unit.
•
Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all items including shelves.
•
Wash the inside surfaces with a warm water and baking soda solution. 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 before cleaning control panels or any electrical parts.
•
Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a
clean soft cloth.
POWER FAILURE
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your appliance.
If the power is off for an extended period of time, proper steps should be taken to protect your contents.
INACTIVITY
If the unit will not be used for a period of less than three weeks, leave the cooler operating. If the period of
inactivity is several months, remove all items and turn the unit off. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.
Leave the door open slightly to prevent any possible moisture build-up.
MOVING YOUR WINE COOLER
Before moving your wine cooler, first be sure to remove all items from the cooler.
•
Securely tape down any loose items, such as shelves, inside the unit.
•
Turn the adjustable leg up to the base to avoid damage.
•
Tape the door shut.
•
Ensure that the unit stays securely in the upright position during transportation. Protect the outside of
the appliance with a blanket or similar item.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
•
The unit should be located in the coolest area of the room away from heat sources or direct sunlight.
•
Ensure that the unit has proper allowances on all sides for proper ventilation. Never cover any air
vents.
•
Only open the cooler door for as long as necessary. Frequent opening of the door will affect internal
temperature.
