8. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning your appliance (something that should be done regularly), disconnect it by removing the plug or by pulling the
fuse on the circuit.
Before using your appliance for the first time and regularly after that, we recommend that you clean the inside and outside
(front, side and top) with warm mixed with a gentle cleaning product. Rinse with clean water and allow drying before
reconnecting. Do not use solvents or abrasives.
When the appliance is switched on for the first time, there may be a residual odor. In that case, runt the appliance empty for a
few hours at the coldest possible temperature. The cold will kill any odors.
In case of a power cut
Most power cuts are resolved within a short time. A power cut of 1 or 2 hours will not affect the temperature in your cabinet.
To protect your wines during a power cut, avoid opening the door as much as possible. During very long power cuts, take the
necessary measures to protect your wine.
If the appliance is disconnected or if there is a power cut, you must wait three to five minutes before re- starting. If you try
to re-start before this time, the compressor will only re-start after 3 to 5 minutes (if the temperature requires).
When switching on for the first time or following a prolonged shutdown, it is possible that when re-starting, the
temperatures selected and those displayed are not the same. This is normal. It will take a few hours before they stabilize.
Vacation time
Short vacations:
leave the wine cooler operating during vacations of less than three 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 odor and mold growth, leave the door open slightly: blocking it open if
necessary.
Moving your wine cooler
Remove all items.
Securely tape down all loose items (shelves) inside your appliance.
Turn the adjustable leg up to the base to avoid damage.
Tape the door shut.
Be sure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation. Also protect outside of appliance with a
blanket, or similar item.
