CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING YOUR APPLIANCE
IMPORTANT: Always unplug the unit before cleaning or performing maintenance. Never use harsh
cleansers or scouring pads to clean any part of the unit.
Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all items including shelves.
Wash the inside surfaces with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be
about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.
Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution.
Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth before cleaning control panels or any electrical
parts.
Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry
with a clean soft cloth.
Do not connect or disconnect the electric plug when your hands are wet.
Never clean appliance parts with flammable fluids. These fumes can create a fire hazard or
explosion.
Do not use solvent-base cleaning agents or abrasives on the interior. These cleaners may
damage or discolor the interior.
POWER FAILURE
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your
appliance if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is off for an extended period
of time, proper steps should be taken to protect your contents.
If the unit is unplugged, loses power, or is turned off you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting.
Attempting to restart the wine cooler before this time has elapsed may prevent the wine cooler from
starting.
INACTIVITY
If the unit will not be used for a period of less than three weeks, leave the cooler operating. If the period of
inactivity is several months, remove all items and turn the unit off. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.
Leave the door open slightly to prevent any possible moisture build-up.
MOVING YOUR WINE COOLER
Before moving your wine cooler, first be sure to remove all items from the cooler.
•
Securely tape down any loose items, such as shelves, inside the unit.
•
Turn the adjustable leg up to the base to avoid damage.
•
Tape the door shut.
•
Ensure that the unit stays securely in the upright position during transportation. Protect the outside of
the appliance with a blanket or similar item.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
•
The unit should be located in the coolest area of the room away from heat sources or direct sunlight.
•
Ensure that the unit has proper allowances on all sides for proper ventilation. Never cover any air vents.
•
Only open the cooler door for as long as necessary. Frequent opening of the door will affect internal
temperature.
