• Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all items including shelves.
• Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution.
• Wash the inside surfaces with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be

electrical parts.

MOVING YOUR WINE COOLER
Before moving your wine cooler, first be sure to remove all items from the cooler.
•
Securely tape down any loose items, such as shelves, inside the unit.
•
Turn the levelling legs up to the base to avoid damage.
•
Tape the door shut.
•
Ensure that the unit stays securely in the upright position during transportation. Protect the
outside of the appliance with a blanket or similar item.
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.
INACTIVITY
If the unit will not be used for a period of less than three weeks, leave the cooler operating. If the
period of inactivity is several months, remove all items and turn the unit off. Clean and dry the interior
thoroughly. Leave the door open slightly to prevent any possible moisture build-up.
