Care and cleaning
Cleaning the wine cellar
• Before cleaning, unplug the wine cellar and remove the bottles.
• Clean your wine cellar once every two months.
Inside: Wash inside surfaces of the wine cellar with a solution of two
tablespoons of baking soda in one quart (1.136 liters) warm water. Rinse
and dry. Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning in the
area of the controls, or any electrical parts.
Wash the removable parts with the baking soda solution mentioned above,
or mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry. Never use metallic
scouring pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners, or alkaline solutions on any
surface. Do not wash removable parts in a dishwasher.
Outside: Wash the cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse
well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
Every two months clean the filter on the back, pressing down on the two
upper locks and pulling back. To clean the filter, it can be shaken and / or
washed with warm water.
Keeping the filter clean improves the performance of the cooling
system and its life, as it could be damaged by high temperatures
caused by improper ventilation.
Care of plastic parts
• Be sure and protect the door gasket. It should be kept clean at all times.
• If the plastic parts in the wine cellar remain contaminated by oil (animal or
vegetable) for a long period of time, they will age and crack easily. Please
clean them on a regular basis.
Vacation and Moving Tips
Vacations
If the wine cellar will not be used for several months:

• Leave the wine cellar door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary, to
prevent odor and mold growth.

•
Disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet.
•
Remove wine bottles and clean the wine cellar.
•
Secure all loose items by taping them securely in place to prevent damage.

movement. Also, protect the outside of the wine cellar with a blanket or
similar item.
