Care and Maintenance
Normal Sounds
Your new wine and beverage cooler may make sounds that are not familiar to you. Most
of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces like the floor or walls can make the
sounds seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the kinds of sounds
that might be new to you and what may be making them.
⚫
Rattling noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant or the water line.
⚫
Items stored on top of the wine and beverage cooler can also make noises.
⚫
The high efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high-pitched sound.
⚫
Water running from the evaporator to the water bin may make a splashing sound.
⚫
As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing
in your wine and beverage cooler.
⚫
You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure efficiency, top performance, and
long life.
INTERIOR CLEANING:
1. Disconnect power to the unit.
2. Open the door and remove the contents and shelves.
3. With a clean cloth, wipe down the interior of the unit.
4. Reinsert the shelves and contents.
5. Reconnect power to the unit.
EXTERIOR CLEANING:
The door and cabinet may be cleaned with a mild detergent and lukewarm water
solution such as two (2) tablespoons of baking soda to one (1) quart of water. Do not
use solvent based or abrasive cleaners. Use a soft sponge and rinse with clean water.
Wipe with a soft clean towel to prevent water spotting. If the door panel is stainless
steel, it can discolor when exposed to chlorine gas and moisture. Clean stainless steel
with a cloth dampened with a mild detergent and warm water solution. Never use an
abrasive or caustic cleaning agent.
