CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
CLEANING YOUR WINE COOLER
• Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution.
• Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth before
cleaning the area where the controls are located, or any
place on or near electrical parts.
• Wash the outside of the wine cooler with warm water and a
mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean,
soft cloth.
• Use an approved stainless steel cleaner to clean the door
frame and handle. Do not use steel wool or a steel brush on
the stainless steel.
CAUTION
Failure to unplug the wine cooler during cleaning could
result in electrical shock or other personal injury.
POWER FAILURE
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and they
should not affect the temperature of your wine cooler, as long
as you avoid opening the door. If the power is going to be off
for a longer period of time, it is recommended that you transfer
all perishable/sensitive contents to a functional wine cooler or
cooler. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door open
slightly, blocking it open if necessary. Lay a towel down below
the open front of the wine cooler in case any frost buildup
melts and drains out.
VACATION TIME
Short vacations: Leave the wine cooler running during
vacations that are shorter than three weeks.
Long vacations: If the wine cooler will not be used for a month
or more, remove all items and turn it off. Clean and dry the
interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the
door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary. Lay a towel
down below the open front of the wine cooler in case any frost
buildup melts and drains out.
MOVING YOUR APPLIANCE
1. Remove all contents.
2. Securely tape down all loose items (shelves) inside your
appliance.
3. Turn the adjustable legs up to the base to avoid damaging
them.
4. Tape the door shut.
5. Be sure the wine cooler stays secure in an upright position
during transportation. Also, protect the outside of the
appliance with a blanket or similar item.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
• The appliance should be placed in the coolest location
possible, away from heat-producing appliances and out of
direct sunlight.
• Ensure that the unit is adequately ventilated. Never cover
air vents.
• Do not keep the door open any longer than necessary.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before storing
them in the wine cooler.
• Do not overload the wine cooler, as it forces the compressor
to run more frequently, increasing the power consumption.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry
before placing them in the wine cooler, in order to prevent
frost buildup.
• Do not line shelves with aluminum foil, wax paper or paper
towels, as they will prevent proper air circulation.
