CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning Your Wine Cellar.
Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all items including all shelves.
Wash the inside surfaces with a solution of warm water and baking soda (approximately 2 tablespoons of baking
soda for each 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 exterior with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
Vacuum the front grill and back of the unit twice yearly. Make sure the power is off before cleaning.
It is recommended to clean the unit completely inside and out once a year to maximize the longevity of the wine
cellar.
Power Loss
Power failures that are corrected within a few hours 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 other measures to protect your contents.
If the unit is unplugged, loses power, or is turned off, you must
wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting
. Attempting to
restart the wine cellar before this time has elapsed may prevent the wine cellar from starting.
Absence/Vacation
Short vacations:
You may
leave the wine cellar powered on and unattended for absences of less than three (3)
weeks.
Long vacations:
If the appliance will not be used for more than three weeks, remove all items and turn off 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 Cellar
Remove all items.
Securely tape down all loose items (shelves) inside your appliance.
Turn the adjustable leg 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 the outside of the
appliance with a blanket or similar item.
Energy saving Tip
The wine cellar should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances, and away
from direct sunlight.
