Care and cleaning.

Cleaning the Outside
IMPORTANT: Unplug the wine center/
beverage and wine center before cleaning.
Keep the outside clean. The cabinet can be
washed with mild soap and water. Clean with
a damp cloth. Never use abrasive scouring
powders.
Use a glass cleaner or mild soap and water
and a soft cloth to clean the glass door. Do
not use any abrasive powders.
Do not wipe the appliance with a soiled
dishcloth or towel. These may leave a residue
that can erode the paint. Do not use scouring
pads, powdered cleaners, bleach or cleaners
containing bleach because these products can
scratch and weaken the paint finish.
Cleaning the Inside
IMPORTANT: Unplug the wine center/
beverage and wine center before cleaning.
To clean the inner liner and racks, use a
one tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to a
quart (1 liter) of water. This both cleans and
neutralizes odors. Clean with a damp cloth.
The vinyl door gasket may be cleaned with
mild soap and water or a baking soda
solution.
Defrosting
Automatic Defrosting
The model uses the compressor on/off cycling
to defrost automatically (compressor stop,
temperature rises).
Never use a heater of any kind, scraper or
sharp instrument to remove frost as it may
damage the wine center/beverage and wine
center.
NOTE: The drain pan above the compressor
may be full following defrost. Check to make
sure no water spills when moving the unit.
The stainless steel door frame and door
handles (GWS04 models) can be cleaned with a
commercially available stainless steel cleaner.
Cleaners with oxalic acid such as Bar Keepers
Friend Soft Cleanser™ will remove surface rust,
tarnish and small blemishes. Use only a liquid
cleanser free of grit and rub in the direction
of the brush lines with a damp soft sponge.
Do not use appliance wax or polish on the
stainless steel.
Protect the paint finish. The finish on the
outside of the wine center/beverage and wine
center is a high-quality, baked-on paint finish.
With proper care, it will stay new-looking and
rust-free for years. Apply a coat of kitchen/
appliance wax when the wine chiller is new,
and then at least twice a year.
Do not use detergents, scouring powders,
spray cleaners or other harsh chemicals to
clean the interior.
For GVS04 Models: To avoid water stains
on the wood shelves, clean up and dry any
liquid spills immediately.
Wipe the control panel with a damp cloth. Dry
thoroughly. Do not use cleaning sprays, large
amounts of soap and water, abrasives or
it. Some paper towels can also scratch the
control panel.
