Care and maintenance
Cleaning your wine cabinet
•
Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all items including shelves and rack.
•
Wash the inside surfaces with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution
should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to 2 pints of water.
•
Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution.
•
Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning area of 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 corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature
of your appliance if you minimise 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 cabinet 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 odour and mould growth,
leave the door open slightly (blocking it open if necessary).
Moving your wine cabinet
•
Remove all items.
•
Securely tape down all loose items (shelves) inside your appliance.
•
Wind the adjustable legs 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.
Energy saving tips
•
The wine cabinet should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat
producing appliances, and out of the direct sunlight.
