CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning Your Wine Cooler
1. Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all items including
shelves and racks.
2. Wash the inside surfaces with a warm water and baking soda solution. The
solution should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.
3. Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution.
4. Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning the area near the
controls, or any electrical parts.
5. Wash the outside cabinet with warm and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and
wipe dry with a clean soft cloth. Clean the stainless steel trim with a product
specifically designed for this use.
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 power is going to be off for a longer period of time, you need to take
the proper steps to protect the contents of your wine cooler.
Vacations
Leave the wine cooler operating during vacations of less then three weeks. For
periods longer than this, turn the wine cooler off and leave the door slightly ajar to
prevent odor from building inside the appliance.
Transporting your Wine Cooler
If you need to move your wine cooler once the box has been discarded:
1. Securely tape down all loose items (shelves) inside your appliance.
2. Turn the adjustable legs up to the base to avoid damage.
3. Tape the door shut.
4. 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 Tip
The wine cooler should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from
heat- producing appliances, and out of the direct sunlight.
