Care and cleaning.
Drain hole
Cleaning the Outside
IMPORTANT: Unplug the beverage center
or wine chiller before cleaning.
Keep the outside clean. The cabinet can
be washed with mild soap and water. Rinse
thoroughly with clean water. 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.
Wipe the controls with a damp cloth. Dry
thoroughly. Do not use cleaning sprays,
large amounts of soap and water, abrasives
or sharp objects on the panel—they can
damage it. Some paper towels can also
scratch the control panel.
Do not wipe the beverage center or wine
chiller with a soiled dishcloth or towel.
Cleaning the Inside
IMPORTANT: Unplug the beverage center or
wine chiller before cleaning.
The vinyl door gasket may be cleaned
with mild soap and water or a baking soda
solution. 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.
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
Drain Hole
Periodically check the drain hole and
channel for any debris. If the drain is blocked,
condensation will not drain properly.

If the power fails, open the door as
infrequently as possible to maintain
the temperature.

and neutralizes odors. Thoroughly rinse and
wipe dry.
Other parts of the beverage center or wine
chiller unit—including the 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.
Do not use detergents, scouring powders,
spray cleaners or other harsh chemicals to
clean the interior.
To check and clean the drain hole, remove
the bottom two glass shelves or bottom two
full extension drawers. Sweep a damp cloth
along the channel in the back of the beverage
center. Use a finger to sweep away any debris
from the drain hole.
To remove the light shield, push in the tab on
the left side of the shield and lower it. Replace
with a 15 watt appliance bulb.
Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other appliance.
