Cleaning and Maintenance
Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure efficiency, top performance, and long life.
Exterior Cleaning
The door and cabinet may be cleaned with a mild detergent and lukewarm water solution such
as 2 tablespoons of baking soda to 1 quart of water.
Do not use solvent based or abrasive cleaners. Use a soft sponge and rinse with clean water.
Wipe with a soft clean towel to prevent water spotting. If the door panel is stainless steel, it can
discolor when exposed to chlorine gas and moisture. Clean stainless steel with a cloth
dampened with a mild detergent and warm water solution. Never use an abrasive or caustic
cleaning agent.

Water Pan and Condensation
Occasionally, the water pan may collect water in high humidity environments. If the pan

2. Use a soft absorbent towel to wipe the water pan’s water.
3. Reconnect power to the unit.
Maintenance
It is important to clean the internal components
located in the back of this unit about every six
months.
1. Disconnect power to the unit.

wine cooler.
