Cleaning the wine cooler
Before cleaning, turn the temperature control to OFF,
•
unplug the wine cooler and remove the bottles.
Clean your wine cooler once every two months.
•
Inside:
Wash inside surfaces of the wine cooler with a
solution of two tablespoons of baking soda in one quart
(1.136 liters) warm water. Rinse and dry. Wring excess
water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning in the
area of the controls, or any electrical parts.
Wash the removable parts with the baking soda solution
mentioned above, or mild detergent and warm water.
Rinse and dry. Never use metallic scouring pads,
brushes, abrasive cleaners, or alkaline solutions on any
surface. Do not wash removable parts in a dishwasher.
Outside:
Wash the cabinet with warm water and mild
liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean
soft cloth.
Care of plastic parts
Be sure and protect the door gasket. It should be
•
kept clean at all times.
If the plastic parts in the wine cooler remain
•
contaminated by oil (animal or vegetable) for a long
period of time, they will age and crack easily. Please
clean them on a regular basis.
Vacation and Moving Tips
Vacations:
If the wine cooler will not be used for several months:
Remove all wine bottles and unplug the power cord.

•
Remove wine bottles and clean the wine cooler.
•
Secure all loose items by taping them securely in

In a moving vehicle, secure the wine cooler in an
•
upright position to prevent movement. Also, protect
the outside of the wine cooler with a blanket or
similar item.
