Maintenance

General

 WARNING 

 BEFORE PERFORMING MAINTENANCE ON THE SYSTEM, READ AND UNDERSTAND THE

SAFETY INFORMATION CONTAINED WITHIN THE SAFETY CHAPTER OF THE WINE GUARDIAN

MANUAL.

 DANGER 

HIGH VOLTAGE - RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH

High voltages are present in the cabinets. Turn off all power. Use the Lockout/
Tagout procedure before removing end panels or cover.

 CAUTION 

SHARP EDGES

RISK OF SEROUS INJURY

Sharp edges are present on the fan wheels, housing,  fins and coils.

Maintenance on Wine Guardian system requires working with high voltage and
sheet metal with possible sharp edges. Only qualified personnel should per-
form maintenance. Some tasks require knowledge of mechanical and electrical
methods. Make sure you are familiar with all hazards, general safety related
procedures, and safety labels on the system.

 

CAUTION

 

EXPOSURE TO MICROBIAL GROWTH (MOLD) CAN CAUSE SERIOUS HEALTH PROBLEMS

 Standing water in drain pans promote microbial growth (mold) that cause
unpleasant odors and serious health-related indoor air quality problems. If
mold is found, remove it immediately and sanitize that portion of the system.

The Wine Guardian is designed for minimum maintenance. The refrigerant system is hermetically sealed
and requires no maintenance. The fans are permanently lubricated and require no maintenance. Some
maintenance to the system  may be required due to dust or dirt in the air stream.
