4. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING YOUR WINE CELLAR
Turn off the power, unplug the appliance and remove all items including shelves and rack.
Wash the inside surfaces with warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be
about two (2) tablespoons of baking soda with a quart of water.
Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution.
Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning the controls 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 restored within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your
appliance if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to be off for a
longer period of time, you need to take the proper steps to protect your contents.
VACATION TIME
Short vacations: Leave the Wine Cellar operating during vacations of less than three (3) weeks.
Long vacations: 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 door and mold growth,
leave the door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary.
MOVING YOUR WINE CELLAR
Remove all items.
Securely tape down all loose items (shelves) inside your appliance.
Turn the adjustable legs up to the base of the cabinet to avoid damaging them.
Tape the door shut.
Be sure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation. Also protect
the outside of appliance with a blanket or similar item.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
The Wine Cellar should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing
appliances and out of the direct sunlight.
