Cleaning and care
Cleaning the appliance
Before cleaning the appliance,
disconnect it from the power
source.
Wipe the internal surfaces of the
appliance with a soft sponge lightly dipped
in a solution of table salt. (Add 2 table-
spoons of salt to a quart of warm water.)
Wash the shelves in warm water with a
small amount of kitchen dishwashing
liquid, rinse and wipe dry. Allow the
wooden shelves (if the appliance has
them) to dry completely before returning
them to the wine cooler.
Use a glass cleaner to clean the glass
surfaces and a commercially available
stainless steel cleaning agent for the
stainless steel surfaces.
All parts that you wash with a soft sponge
lightly dipped in water must be wiped dry.
Wipe the outer surface with a soft sponge
lightly dipped in a dilute solution of
dishwashing liquid in water. Wipe dry
using a clean cloth.
Dust and liquids can cause gaskets to
stick to the cabinet and tear when you
open the door. Wash each door gasket
with a mild detergent and warm water.
Rinse and dry thoroughly after cleaning.
Do not use steel wool or sponges with
steel wool on stainless steel surfaces.
They could damage the surface.
Do not use cleaning waxes, concentrated
cleaning agents, bleaches or cleaning
products containing kerosene on the
plastic or rubber parts.
Never use paper towels or window
cleaners on the plastic parts.
Moving
Before moving the appliance, remove all
contents.
Secure freely moving parts inside the
appliance (racks), e.g., using adhesive
tape.
To prevent damage, screw in the leveling
feet.
Tape the door(s) shut.
Ensure that the appliance always remains
in a vertical position while being
transported. To prevent the appliance from
being damaged during transportation,
cover it with a blanket or other soft cloth.
Energy-saving tips
Locate the appliance away from sources
of heat and out of direct sunlight.
Ensure sufficient ventilation. Under no
circumstances should you cover the
ventilation openings.
Only open the door when necessary. Do
not leave the door open for a long time or
open the door too often.
If the appliance will not be used for
several months, remove all items and turn
off the appliance. Clean and dry the
interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and
mold growth, leave the door(s) open
slightly, blocking open if necessary.
