Cleaning and Maintenance
Warning: To avoid electric shock, always unplug your wine cooler before
cleaning. Ignoring this warning may result in death or injury.
Caution: Before using cleaning products, always read and follow
manufacturer's instructions and warnings to avoid personal injury or
product damage.
General:
Prepare a cleaning solution of 3-4 tablespoons of baking soda
mixed with warm water. Use sponge or soft cloth, dampened with
the cleaning solution, to wipe down your wine cooler.
Rinse with clean warm water and dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasives, ammonia, chlorine bleach,
concentrated detergents, solvents or metal scouring pads. Some
of these chemicals may dissolve, damage and/or discolor your
wine cooler.
Door Gaskets:
Defrosting Your Wine Cooler
Your wine cooler is designed with an "Auto-Cycle" defrost system. The wine
cooler surfaces of the unit will defrost automatically, during the "off" cycle of the
cold control. Water from the unit is disposed of automatically, by means of being
channeled onto a drip tray located on the compressor. Heat transfer from the
compressor causes this water to evaporate.
Power Interruptions
Occasionally there may be power interruptions due to thunderstorms or other
causes. Remove the power cord from AC outlet when a power outage occurs.
When power has been restored, replug power cord to AC outlet.
Vacation and Moving Care
For long vacations or absences, empty contents from wine cooler, move the
temperature DIAL to the OFF position and clean the wine cooler, and door
gaskets according to "General cleaning" section. Prop doors open, so air can
circulate inside. When moving, always keep the wine cooler in a vertical
position. Do not move with the unit lying down. Possible damage to the sealed
system could occur.

Clean door gaskets every three months according to general
instructions. Gaskets must be kept clean and pliable to ensure
a proper seal.
Petroleum jelly applied lightly on the hinge side of gaskets
will keep the gasket pliable and ensure a good seal.
