Care and Cleaning

Beverage Center
Other parts of the beverage center unit—
including the door gaskets, full extension
drawers and glass shelves—can be cleaned
the same way.
Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves with hot
water because the extreme temperature
difference may cause them to break. Handle
glass shelves carefully. Rough handling of
tempered glass can cause it to shatter.
Drain hole
After cleaning the door gasket, apply a
thin layer of paraffin wax or petroleum
jelly to the door gasket at the hinge side.
This helps keep the gasket from sticking
and bending out of shape.
