Care and Cleaning
Wine Reserve
For your
safety
Unplug the wine reserve before cleaning. If the unit is in a built-in location,
remove power at the circuit breaker.
Cleaning
the inside
Unplug the wine reserve before cleaning.
If the unit is in a built-in location, remove
power at the circuit breaker. Use a slightly
damp cloth or sponge when cleaning around
switches, lights or controls.
Use warm water and baking soda solution-
about a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda
to a quart (1 liter) of water. This both cleans
and neutralizes odors. Thoroughly rinse and
wipe dry.
Other parts of the wine reserve center
unit-including the door gaskets and
full extension drawers-can be cleaned
the same way.
Drain hole
Periodically check the drain hole and
channel for any debris. If the drain is blocked,
condensation will not drain properly.
To check and clean the drain hole,
remove the third and fourth drawers
(see instructions on Removing full extension
drawers). Sweep a damp cloth along the
channel in the back of the wine reserve.
Use a finger to sweep away any debris
from the drain hole.

Appearance may vary
Cleaning
the outside
The exterior surfaces can be washed with
mild soap and water.
Rinse thoroughly with clear water. Never use
abrasive scouring powders.
Do not use scouring pads, powdered
cleaners, bleach or cleaners containing
bleach because these products can scratch
and damage the finish.
Warranty does not cover damage due to
improper cleaning methods.
Glass door
Use a glass cleaner or mild soap and water
and a soft cloth to clean the glass door.
Do not use any abrasive powders.
Avoid cleaning cold glass with hot
water because the extreme temperature
difference may cause it to break. Rough
handling of tempered glass can cause it
to shatter.
Do not place magnets on or near the
glass door. Magnets may cause permanent
damage to the door.
Door gasket
The vinyl gasket may be cleaned with mild
soap and water, a baking soda solution or
a mild scouring powder. Rinse well.
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.
