CLEANING YOUR WINE COOLER
BEFORE CLEANING: Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all items including all the shelves.
•
Wash the inside surfaces with warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 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 area of the controls, or any electrical parts.
•
Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and a mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth.
•
After installation, we recommend that owners apply a thin layer of Olive Oil with a clean rag, to all exposed Stainless Steel areas.
This should then be polished in and buffed off with another clean rag to a non-oily finish. This process will aid protection against
dirt and other corrosive contaminants, by providing a temporary food-safe shield. The Olive Oil layer also makes later polishing
and removal of fingerprints easier. This process should be repeated frequently every 3-4 months. ALL stainless steel can rust; it is
a myth that stainless steel doesn’t rust.
POWER FAILURE
Most power failures are corrected 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: You may 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 o
ff
the appliance. Clean and dry the
interior thoroughly. To prevent mold growth, leave the door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary.
MOVING YOUR WINE COOLER
1. Remove all items.
2. Securely tape down all loose items (shelves) inside your appliance.
3. Turn the adjustable leg up to the base to avoid damage.
4. Tape the door shut.
5. Be sure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation. Also, protect the outside of the appliance with a
blanket or similar item.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
• The wine cooler should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing appliances, and away from direct
sunlight. Ventilation at the rear also helps a lot with energy usage, to create a positive air flow where possible, although with this
range they are designed to be fully built in.
• When you are not using cooler during weekdays etc. it is recommended to set the temp at a higher level, so set at 64°F (18°C )
during periods of non-usage, this will not only mean less run time, it will also keep drinks at a temp that won’t get them spoiled. It
saves energy also which these days are a growing concern for most households.
• Keep the cooler stocked; an empty cooler will run longer, believe it or not.
