Do not wipe the wine reserve with a soiled dish cloth or wet towel. These may leave a residue that
can damage the finish. Do not use scouring pads, powdered cleaners, bleach or cleaners containing
bleach because these products can scratch and damage the finish.
Stainless steel
Regularly clean and polish the Stainless Steel Door Panels and Handles (on some models) with a
commercially available stainless steel cleaner to preserve and protect the fine finish.
Do not use appliance wax or polish on the stainless steel.
Wood
Clean the wood with a dampened rag. Do not allow the wood to become overly wet.
Custom Wood Panels
Please contact your custom panel supplier for direction on cleaning and care.
Cleaning inside
Turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse box before cleaning.
If this is not practical, wring
excess moisture out of sponge or cloth when cleaning around switches, lights or controls.
Use warm water and baking soda solution— about a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to a quart
(1 liter) of water. This both cleans and neutralizes odors. Thoroughly rinse and wipe dry.
Wooden Racks
Clean the wooden racks with a dampened rag. Do not allow the racks to become overly wet.
Other parts of the wine reserve
Including door gaskets, ice storage bins and all plastic parts - can be cleaned the same way. After
cleaning the door gaskets, apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly to the door gaskets at the hinge side.
This helps keep the gaskets from sticking and bending out of shape. Do not wash any plastic parts
in the dishwasher.
Preparing for vacation
For long vacations or absences, remove food from the wine reserve. Adjust the temperature up
(+)
until the unit turns off . Clean the interior with a baking soda solution of one tablespoon (15 ml) of
baking soda to one quart (1 liter) of water. Leave the door open.
For shorter vacations, remove perishable foods and leave the control at the regular setting. However,
if the room temperature is expected to drop below 16°C, follow the same instructions as for extended
vacations.
Turn off the icemaker and shut off the water supply to the freezer.
Interior light replacement
Do not try to replace a burned-out LED light.
An authorized technician will need to replace the
LED lights.
